Presented for the Council's consideration a letter from Premiere Aluminum Products Company to install a mobile office unit on their, property. It was pointed out by Mr. O'Bannon that Premiere Aluminum Products is not conforming to the requirements for space. They erected a building on their property which eliminated much of their parking space and this was done without benefit of a building permit, thereby violating the building code as well as the zoning ordinance. Employees have been cited by the Police Department on a regular schedule because they are parking in the street in a 2 -hr, zone due to lack of sufficient parking space. Moving in a mobile office unit would mean they would have even less parking space. They notified the Building Department that they had rented 150 additional parking spaces from Aerospace Corporation but upon checking with Aerospace, Mr. O'Bannon learned that the additional parking amounted to only 25 additional spaces. Motion was then made by Councilman Frederick that the permission to move in the mobile office unit be granted since the City has obliged this Company in the past in this matter. Councilman Tandy seconded the motion with the stipulation that a time limit of 6 months be included -- with a review in three months; this for the reason that this company has supposedly purchased real estate outside E1 Segundo and the ground breaking is to take place within two months. Mayor Baker stated that he opposed granting this permission since these people have not conformed over the years and have been on notice for some time. On roll call, permission was denied by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmen Frederick and Tandy; Noes: Councilmen Kimport, Swanson and Mayor Baker; Absent: Councilmen None. 7.

Motion was then made by Councilman Frederick, seconded by Councilman Tandy that the City purchase the needed supplies for an amount not to exceed $350. 00 and allow these churches_ to construct the Christmas de- coration. Carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmen Frederick, Kimport, Swanson, Tandy and Mayor Baker; Noes: Councilmen None; Absent: Councilmen None.

The City presently has a dead -end street barrier located in this area and it is felt that this concrete block wall would tend to improve the appearance of the neighborhood. The Council approving the recommendation of the City Engineer to permit the encroachment, it was moved by Councilman Tandy, seconded by Councilman Swanson that the City Attorney be requested to prepare and present a resolution to approve said encroachment at the next regular meeting of the City Council to be held October 28, 1963. Motion carried. 4. Recommended that an encroachment permit be granted to North American Aviation, Inc. to install a directional sign on the easterly side of Nash Street south of Imperial. This would be an information -type sign and would contain no advertising but is for the purpose of directing the public to certain North American Aviation facilities. The sign would be near the Vickers Company and written approval has been received from Vickers Company for this construction if the Council approves. In view of the beautification program being conducted by North American Aviation along Imperial Highway, it is believed that this particular sign will serve a useful purpose and since the lowest part of the sign will be 10' above the curb, it would not interfere with traffic in any way. It was then moved by Councilman Tandy, seconded by Councilman Swanson that the City Attorney be requested to prepare and present a resolution permitting such encroachment at the next regular Council Mebting to be held October 28, 1963. Motion carried. 5. As requested by the E1 Segundo Unified School District, re- commended that certain streets be vacated for construction of the new Junior High School.

Reported on the reply from Pacific Electric Railway Company on the request by Mrs. Cecelia Kassales for a pedestrian crossing of the railway tracks at Pine Street. The railroad opposes such a crossing at this location as they feel it would create a safety hazard since the tracks at this point are located in a cut of approximately 15' in depth and also because of the considerable curvature of the rail line. They feel that the approach of a train would be blind to the pedestrian crossing and a serious tragedy could result. They are there- fore unwilling to consider a pedestrian crossing at grade but suggested as an alternative that the City construct an elevated pedestrian crossing with a minimum overhead clearance of 23 feet measured from the top of the rail. After discussion, motion was made by Councilman Tandy, seconded by Councilman Frederick that the City Engineer pursue the matter and mare a detailed study of the cost of construction of an elevated pedestrian crossing and report his findings to the Council. Motion carried. UNFINISHED BUSINESS 1. The matter of appeal from the decision of the Planning Commission granting a variance to construct a conforming addition to an existing non - conforming use of an apartment house dwelling on the ground floor in a C -2 Zone on property located at 311 Richmond Street, was considered at this time.
