1970 FEB 24 CC MINX E1 Segundo, California February 24, 1970 A regular meeting of the City Council of the City of E1 Segundo, California, was held in the Council Chamber of the City Hall of said City on the above date. Prior to calling the meeting to order, those present joined in pledging allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America, followed by invocation by Councilman Gordon T. Stephens. The meeting was then called to order by Floyd Carr, Jr. , Mayor, the hour being 7:00 o'clock p. m. ROLL CALL 2'781 Councilmen Present: Balmer, Frederick, Nagel, Stephens and Mayor Carr; Councilmen Absent: None. READING OF MINUTES OF PREVIOUS MEETING The minutes of the Regular City Council Meeting held January 26, 1970, having been read and no error or omission having been noted, it was moved by Councilman Nagel, seconded by Councilman Frederick that the minutes of said meeting be approved as recorded. Motion carried. SPECIAL ORDER OF BUSINESS 1. The Mayor announced that this was the time for consideration of the request of Mr. J. C. Masminster for taxicab permit. Mr. Masminster addressed the Council stating that he wished to provide personalized taxicab service to the City of E1 Segundo. City Manager Jones presented the report of the Police Department's investigation of the applicant's background and the financial statement submitted by Mr. Masminster, as well as a letter from Yellow Cab Company regarding its rate of return and level of activity in El Segundo. It was the consensus of the Council that there is not enough taxi business in E1 Segundo to support two taxicab operators and that one operator relying solely on an El Segundo permit, without permits to operate in other cities, would not be successful. Motion was then made by Councilman Balmer, seconded by Councilman Frederick that the request of J. C. Masminster for taxicab permit be denied. Motion carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmen Balmer, Mayor Carr; Noes: Councilmen None; Absent: Councilmen None. Frederick, Nagel, Stephens and 2. The Mayor announced that this was the time and place heretofore fixed for the Public Hearing on application of Standard Gas Company for an oil pipeline franchise in Virginia Street and inquired of the Clerk if proper notice of the hearing had been given. The Clerk replied that affidavits of publication and mailing of notices were in her file. Councilman Balmer stated he would not participate in discussion of the matter. The Mayor then inquired if any written communications had been received regarding the matter. The Clerk read letters in opposition to this pipeline franchise which had been received from Mrs. Florence Miller, owner of 515 Virginia Street and Mr. W. H. Jeffrey, 510 Virginia St. Mrs. Miller's letter stated her concern about a very large tree in front of her property. She felt that the excavation for the pipeline would loosen the soil and cut the roots and would cause a dangerous situation. Standard Gas Company had asked two street tree experts to study the condition of the trees in the 100 to 900 blocks of Virginia Street. Mr. William -1- X 2'782 Bell, City of Long Beach Street Tree Superintendent, was in the audience and reported on his findings. He stated that he was in agreement with Mrs. Miller as to the condition of the tree in front of 515 Virginia Street, but felt that it could be corrected by removing the 12" limb which extends over the residence. When the roots are cut at approximately 3 to 4 feet away from the tree, there should be no danger of the tree falling against the house. The trench as proposed by Standard Gas Company should in no way adversely affect any other trees along Virginia Street. Acting Director of Public Works Allen presented his report as to the physical aspects of construction, operation and maintenance of the pipeline. He stated that it was the opinion of his department that from the standpoint of the public health, safety and welfare, pipeline transportation is superior to trans- portation by tank trucks because of less interference with traffic and elimination of the possibility of product spillage from a tank truck on the street surface; that the construction and operation of this pipeline is feasible, will provide the highest level of protection to the public by this mode of transportation and is consistent with current policy regarding the joint use of public right of way. MRS. JOANNE SCHICK, owner of 739 Virginia Street, stated that she was not in favor of the pipeline as she didn't feel that it would be safe and she thought that since it would have to pass through such a heavily populated area which also contains a school, there was too much risk involved. Mr. E. B. Saunders, Standard Gas Company, discussed the pipeline and the safety features which would be incorporated into the installation. After all testimony had been heard, the Mayor declared the public hearing closed. After discussion, motion was made by Councilman Stephens, seconded by Councilman Frederick that the recommendation of City staff be accepted and the City Attorney be instructed to prepare the necessary ordinance for the granting of the pipeline franchise as requested by Standard Gas Company. Motion carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmen Frederick, Nagel, Stephens and Mayor Carr; Noes: Councilmen None; Absent: Councilmen None; Not Voting: Councilman Balmer. At the hour of 9 :10 o'clock p. m. , the Mayor declared a 10- minute recess. At the hour of 9 :20 o'clock p. m. , the Council reconvened, all members being present and answering roll call. 3. The Mayor announced that this was the time and place heretofore fixed for the hearing on the appeal of Mr. Eugene W. Day from the decision of the Planning Commission for a variance to construct residential units in the C -M zone and reduce required off - street parking spaces for property located at 117 Main Street, and inquired of the City Clerk if proper notice of said hearing had been given, to which the Clerk replied that affidavits of mailing and publishing the notice of said hearing were in her possession, as well as the file of the Planning Commission and the City Council to date. The Mayor stated the files would be made a part of the hearing. The Mayor inquired if any written communications had been received. The Clerk read two letters received from Mr. Eugene W. Day. The Mayor inquired if anyone present desired to speak in favor of the proposed variance, and Mr. Day stated that his letters set forth his request in detail. The Mayor then requested Planning Director Reid to review the application of Mr. Day. The Mayor inquired if anyone present desired to address the Council in opposition to the proposed variance. There being no response, it was moved by Councilman Frederick, seconded by Councilman Nagel that the hearing be closed. -2- X 2'783 After careful deliberation, it was moved by Councilman Stephens, seconded by Councilman Nagel, that the decision of the Planning Commission be upheld, that the variance request be denied and that the following resolution be adopted: WHEREAS, an appeal from the decision of the Planning Commission has been received by the City Council from Mr. Eugene W. Day, which decision denied a variance request to construct residential units in the C -M Zone, and to reduce the required number of off - street parking spaces for property commonly known as 117 Main Street; and WHEREAS, the City Council did hold a duly advertised hearing on said appeal on February 24, 1970; and WHEREAS, the City Council has reached its decision in said matter; NOW THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL DOES HEREBY FIND, DETERMINE AND ORDER that the decision of the Planning Commission be and the same is hereby upheld, and that the application of Mr. Eugene W.
