0 '0 0 169 Winklebleck. The Southern Pacific Company agreed to lease the property to the City. This was followed by discussion. Mr. Wolf from the Real Estate Department of the Southern Pacific Company spoke on the subject of zoning of the small triangle piece which would restrict the value of the piece and they proposed to grant the easement with the understanding that the City will abandon their plans to rezone the triangle piece bounded by James, Winklebleck and California streets. They asked that the City waive the off-street parking for the loss of the area. The cutting off of the piece that the City would require for Franklin Street would reduce the use of the area considerably and it would be impossible to give up the area for Franklin Street and at the same time get full development of the property. This was followed by discussion.

Councilman Stout withdrew his motion with the consent of the second. Councilman Stout moved that this matter be carried on the agenda for two weeks, a copy of'the report from the Southern Pacific Company to be mailed to each member of the Council, seconded by Councilman Granger and carried. CITY MANAGER REPORT REGARDING POSSIBILITY OF RAISING THE BUILDING PERMIT FEES. The City Manager reported that a study had been made of the building permit fees applicable in other Bay Area cities, as compared with Redwood City. The present permit schedule as applied in Redwood City at the present time, as compared with a.proposed permit schedule, has been designed to increase residential permits by the sum of approximately $25.00 each. It will be noted that, if applied to larger construction units such as apartments and commer- cial structures, the proposed building permit fees would be increased in similar proportion. Attention was called to the fact that this was submitted for study only, however, it is believed to be in keeping with previous.suggestions. Councilman Herkner moved to carry this on the agenda for two weeks, this would be taken up at a study meeting a week from Wednesday, June 6th, seconded by Councilman Stout and carried.
