The Clerk read the following report: Re: PLAN LINES — Jefferson Avenue El Camino Real to Upton Street We were requested to make a further investigation of the proposed Plan Lines on r•. Jefferson Avenue between El Camino Real and Upton Street, as adopted by the Planning Commission. �.r It is our opinion that the plan lines should be established for an ultimate eithty (80) foot right—of way, as recommended. The future improvement of Jefferson Avenue will require a minimum of sixty (60) feet between curbs. The present 70 foot right—of—way width would permit only 42 foot sidewalks, which would not permit tree planting along this street, and would PON require that all utility poles be placed within the 42 foot sidewalk. The present requirement of the Pacific Gas and Electric Company that the street face of all ?oles be one foot behind the face of curb, would result in a mazimum of only 22 to 3 feet of sidewalk behind the poles, or the poles would be in almost the center of the future sidewalks. It should be called to your attention that Plan Lines are primarily intended to control the setback of any new or reconstructed buildings, and it does not necessarily follow that the street improvements will be constructed the full width of the Plan Lines. Neither would any existing buildings be cut off or demolished as a result of these Plan Lines, as we believe that all buildings on Jefferson Avenue now have a 15 foot minimum setback. When Jefferson Avenue is widened and reconstructed as a four lane street, the property necessary for widening at that time would normally be acquired through purchase, using
