Vice President McCall stated that, if there were no objections, he would refer the matter to the City Manager for investigation and report. Vice President McCall referred the letter to "Unfinished Business" since the subject is listed on the agenda under that heading for discussion. The request was referred to the City Engineer for his report - and also, a Hearing was set for the meeting of May 7, 1957. 10. A petition was submitted, signed by thirty-nine residents in the vicinity of Central Avenue and High Street, imploring the City Council to authorize one of the following suggestions: (1) Install a blinking red signal for Central Avenue and a blinking yellow signal for High Street or (2) Install stop signs at all corners of said intersection. 11. From the Key System Transit Lines, addressed to the City Manager, signed by E.

There being no objections, Vice President McCall referred the matter to the Committee of the Whole. 12. From Mrs. J. Miguel, 1510 Everett Street, suggesting a survey be made of the intersection of Santa Clara Avenue and Everett Street with the view of installing traffic control devices.

The reouest was referred to "Resolutions". lh. From Compost Corporation of America, with reference to its Tract No. 1860 and the proposed closing of the South end of Pearl Street - requesting that official action be postponed until the next regular meeting of the Council with regard to the abandon- ment of Pearl Street. Since this subject is listed on the agenda under "Unfinished Business", the reouest was referred to that heading for further discussion. 15. From Utah Construction Company, dated April 2, 1957, requesting an immediate policy decision by the City Council on the treatment to be given to that portion of the lagoon plan being developed by the Company at the foot of St. Charles Street in its South Shore project in connection with its Tentative Map on Tract No, 1866. Vice President McCall expressed his opinion on the subject, pointing up the fact that the Planning Board isrnw studying the situation and the Council is awaiting its decision and recommendation on the Tentative Map. He said he felt the Council could not take any action until the matter is officially before it. When called up, Councilmen Haag, Hove and Moresi concurred with this statement. Coun- cilman Moresi also stated that, in reading the minutes of the Planning Board meetings, it is apparent this particular phase of the South Shore project is being worried con- tinuously and being brought up time and time again. She asked the City Attorney if there is no way to control the discussion so other important aspects of the study can be given attention and determination. Mr. Annibale replied the Chairman of the Board has the power to keep the meeting in order and control the amount of time devoted to any given subject - and he has the power to stop continued discussion of the same matter. 1,3 0 16. From Mrs. Elinor B. Coffman, 286 Santa Clara Avenue, dated April 2, 1957, requesting a clarification of the procedure followed in the negotiations between the City and Utah Construction Company, as distinguished between the negotiations of the City and Reclamation District No. 2087. Councilman Haag suggested that, since the letter submits a question on legal techni- calities, it be turned over to the City Attorney for reply. It was so ordered. ORAL COMMUNICATIONS: 17. Councilman Haag suggested that in view of ithe fact the letter from Utah covers the subject of the Tentative Map of the subdivision known as Tract No. 1066, which has not yet been submitted to the Council for its consideration, there be no belabor- ing of the matter at this time. Mr. Charles T. Travers of Utah Construction Company stated he merely wished to explain the use of the term "immediate action" in his letter. He pointed out he is aware of the necessary procedure and he did not expect an answer at this meeting, but he asked the Council to try to consider the request at its very earliest convenience. Vice President McCall said the letter will be referred to the Committee of the Whole for consideration at the proper time. 18. Mrs. Elinor Coffman addressed the Council with regard to her letter and stated that when a citizen raises his voice at a meeting and meets with "accusations" she did not feel this is in keeping with a Democracy. She also thought those affairs which have to do with the Reclamation District must necessarily have to be conducted at the Council level. 19. Mr. Harvey R.Marshall, 3205 Central Avenue, one of the signers of the petition concerning traffic at the intersection of Central Avenue and High Street, spoke of the hazardous and dangerous situation at this location. 20. Mrs. Ella Mae Waterbury, 338 Beach Road, wanted to ',mow why the Council had taken action to cancel the formation of the Assessment District for street improve- ments in this area. She pointed out the request had been made originally from the residents on Beach Road and for that street only - but subsequently, other streets had been included. She agreed the cost of improvements would be a hardship on a couple of people - but that would still be the case even if the matter were put off for a number of years. Mrs. Waterbury explained that she, personally, had canvassed the property owners on Beach Road and there had been only three "No" votes on the proposed formation of said District - and she appealed to the Council to reconsider the request for the formation of an Assessment District for the improvement of Beach Road only. She mentioned there were a number of Beach Road residents pesent at this meeting who were favorably interested in proceeding with the improvement plans. Upon request, Mr. Froerer stated that, in view of the further request made by the Beach Road residents, the matter should be reviewed. He pointed out there are cer- tain charges which would have to be made against the individual properties - and there will also be considerable expense to the City in the formation of said District because of its property in this area. Councilman Haag explainedfbr Mrs. Waterbury's benefit the reason the Council had _dropped the matter was because the vote had been so close - it was not a clean-cut great majority in favor of the formation of an Asse ssment District. T-FEARINGS : 21. The matter was calied up concerning the appeal filed by Mr. and Mrs. Sam Jacobs from the ruling of the Planning Board to deny a Use Permit for them to use the base- ment of their home at 1019 Willow Street for the "receiving, storing and shipping of merchandise". The City Attorney verbally reported that Mr. Everett Fisher, Attorney for the Jacobs had called him and had informed him the Jacobs had decided to drop the appeal. Therefore, the, case is closed. 4 22. The matter was presented with regard to the proposed abandonment of the South end of Pearl Street, Councilman Haag said that, because of the importance of this matter - and in view of the request from Compost Corporation, he felt action should be postponed until the regular meeting to be held April 16. Mr. William Cooper, 2611t Otis Drive, stated he had talked to the Compost officials since the last meeting and the Company is not able to proceed with the deal. He stated the property is his and Compost has nothing to do with it - and he urged the Council to proceed with action to close the end of Pearl Street. He pointed out he now has a deed to the street area and he plans to go ahead with the development of the land - there will be a subdivision there, comprised of five lots - and with the closing of the end of the street, a big improvement could be made. Councilman Hove stated it was his understanding from the first discussion the Council had decided to abandon this portion of Pearl Street. In response to Vice President McCall's question, Mr. Annibale replied that, under the present situation, there is no guarantee any subdivision would be located in this area according to any particular plan. He said the Council can take action to aban- don the street, not abandon it or abandon it conditionally. Councilman Moresi stated that, when this matter was under discussion at the last meeting, the thinking had been the Council did n otwant to abandon the street until definite plans were known as to the subdivision, which would meet with the approval of the Planning Director and City Engineer. Mr. Cooper pointed out the necessary advertising (posting ofrotices) had been done concerning the matter arid since nothing has come up against the abandonment of the street (no protests, registered) he could not understand why the Council did not proceed. Councilman Hove said he agreed with Mr. Cooper' s point - the Planning Director has stated Utah does not plan to continue Pearl Street through to the fill-area - and he suggested the matter be laid over only to the adjourned meeting to be held April 9. Mr. Williams explained the approval of the Tentative Map was subject to the abandon- ment of Pearl Street. He said if the subdivision were to be developed as shown on the Ten tative Map, it would be tantamount to the c1osii of this portion of Pearl Street, Councilman Haag stated if Messrs. Cooper and Riehl were agreeable to such arrangement whereby a plan of streets would be indicated - and since Compost has been given ample time to present its development - he would be perfectly willing to make a motion to have the street closed. Councilman to second the Hove said be would be willing motion in such instance. / _ . From the City Treasurer, stating a refund of '':330. 31 should be made to Ir. Joseph Blakeney, 5 Fernside Boulevard, which represents the Use Tax paid to the local office on an automobile purchased in Daly City, just after the City's jurisdiction ceased. V 24. From the City Manager, recommending con tract be awarded to Malott & Peterson- Grundy, low bidder, for the project of Resurfacing the Franklin Park Tennis Courts at the price of A1,479. Councilman Moresi nved the City ianaer IS ecommendation be adopted; that contract be awarded to the specified firm for the designated project at the price quoted and the bid bonds or checks be returned to the unsuccessful bidders. The motion was seconded by Councilman Haag and on roll call carried by the following vote. Ayes: Four, Noes: None. Absent: President Kranelly, (1). v 25. From the City Manager, submitting the recommen dation of the Planning Director and Chief of Police concerning the parking space on the North side of Santa Clara Aven ue, just West of Park Street, as follows: the space should be marked preen and moved three feet closer to Park Street to obviate any parking between it and the crosswalk, a sign should be installed indicating five-minute parking and an ordinance be prepared to authorize this limited parking from --):00 o'clock a.m. to 10:00 o'clock p.m., so citations could be issued for violations. Mr. Annibale stated said ordinance has been prepared - and the matter was, therefore, referred to "Ordin ances for Introduction". V 2b. From the Recreation Commission, signed by Mr. J. Roger Hooper, Chairman, com- mending the Council for initiating proceedings for the City's acquisition of the "Lan e" property adjacent to Godfrey Park for recreation al purposes. It was also recom- mended the Alameda Swim Center public swimming season be gin Saturday, April 13, 1957, as per the schedule listed. Councilman dation Haag moved the Commission's recommen be adopted and the public swim- ming season be established as in dicated. The motion was seconded by Councilman Hove and unanimously carried. Councilman Haag asked that Mr. Williams express his opinion, and pointed out when the matter originally came from the Planning Board, there was an approval of Compost's plan and the recommendation it be accepted and the South end of Pearl Street be abandoned. Mr. Annibale sugFested, for the Council's consideration, that the abandonment be made effective only upon the shoving, probably by a certificate of the City Engineer, that the street improvements had been actually installed substantially in the manner as indicated on the Compost Tentative Map. However, after some further discussion, it was determined the City Attorney would be instructed to prepare the proper resolution for consideration and the matter would be continued to the adjourned regular meeting to be held April 9.

UNFINISHED BUS-MESS: 32. The matter was presented with regard to the requested amendment of the Uniform Building Code concerning regulations for application of exterior stucco plaster. Copies of a letter from the Associated Home Builders of the Greater Eastbay, Inc., dated March 28, 1957, had been sent to the Councilmen in connection with its ori- ginal request on the subject. In response to Councilman Haag's question as to the clarification of the regulations in this respect, the City Engineer stated the proposed amendment as contained in the ordinance just introduced provides for a precise working of the existing Uniform Building Code, plus an alternate which would permit two coats of stucco to be 7/8's of an inch thick, provided the third coat of stucco wash or paint sealer be applied. 33. The matter was called up concerning the request from the Alameda Unified School District to have certain parking spaces restricted for use of school officials only. These spaces are located on the west side of Oak Street in front of the School Adminis- tration Buildings. Mr. Annibale verbally reported he had determined that such action would not be con- sidered discriminatory. However, upon examination of the covenants of the off-street parking bond issue, he found it was stipulated that the City willnot remove existing on-street parking meters except for traffic conditions.
