1958-12-22 Regular CC MinutesADJOURNED REGULAR MEETING OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ALAMEDA HELD MONDAY AFTERNOON, DECEMBER 22, 1958 The meeting convened at 5:00 o'clock p.m. with President McCall presiding. The Pledge of Allegiance was led by Councilman Freeman. ROLL CALL: The roll was called and Councilmen Collischonn, Freeman, Petersen, Schacht and President McCall, (5), were noted present. Absent: None. REPORTS OF OFFICERS, BOARDS, ETCETERA: 1. From the Mayor, nominating Mr. Warren T. Isaacs, 1301 Fernside Boulevard, for appointment as a member of the City Planning Board, to serve the unexpired term of Mr. Jerry J. Hoist, resigned. The term will expire June 30, 1961. The matter was referred to "Resolutions ". UNFINISHED BUSINESS: 2. The matter was presented concerning the requests from Jones, Thenn & Associates and from South Shore Land Co. for approval of the Final Map of Tract No. 1986, South Shore Unit No. III. In connection with the subject, a letter was read from South Shore Land Co., signed by Mr. Charles T. Travers, Vice President, informing the Council that no covenants or restrictions will be filed with regard to this Map. Upon request of Councilman Freeman, Mr. Hanna explained details of the situation as shown on the Map, copies of which each Councilman had before him. In response to Councilman Petersen's question, Mr. Calvin Jones explained the South Shore Land Co. is a separate corporation, a subsidiary of Utah Construction Company. At the time the first "Map" was filed, the property was under ownership of South Shore Land Co. and Utah Construction Company and other interested parties, also - therefore, all parties/ names had to appear on the Map. However, since that time, all interest in the property has been transferred to South Shore Land Co. and it is the sole owner. This information is verified through the title company. Councilmen Petersen and Freeman were concerned about the provisions of the Agreement in connection with the Final Map, questioning whether or not they affected those provinces of Utah Construction. Company or the Reclamation District. Mr. Hanson stated the only matter the Council considers any time anyone wants to sub- divide a parcel of land in the City of Alameda is the area within the given boundaries designated on a map. The subdivider is responsible only for the area set forth in his map. Utah Construction Company is still responsible for carrying out the pro- visions of the "Fill Agreement ", which is not involved in this situation at all. Considerable discussion ensued and Councilman Freeman still wanted to be sure the City will be protected and the Council, in accepting this particular Map, is not accepting any responsibilities of the Reclamation District or Utah Construction Company with regard to any of the existing Agreements between them and the City. Mr. Hanson agreed that, while this is not necessary, such language could be incorporated in the motion the Council would have to pass to approve the Final Map. Following some further questions, Mr. Hanna pointed out the Tentative Map for this particular Unit III has been reviewed, approved by the planning Board and the City Council and - if the Final Map follows the intent of the approved Tentative Map - then the Council has no choice but to approve the Final Map as submitted, and there is a limited amount of time in which this can be done. The matter having been thoroughly deliberated, Councilman Freeman moved the Final Map as submitted be accepted, that the sufficiency of the bond as submitted be accepted and this motion in no way changes or alters any Agreements now existing between the City and Utah Construction Company or infringes upon the rights and duties of the Reclamation District. The motion was seconded by Councilman Collischonn and on roll call carried by the following vote. Ayes: Five. Noes: None. Absent: None. RESOLUTIONS: 3.
