PROPOSED LOCATION OF FUTURE FIREHOUSE IN STULSAFT PARK AREA. It was announced that by using Stulsaft Park the City would save approximately $6,000 by not having to purchase a site in the Farm Hills Subdivision. The Clerk read the following letter submitted by the Park and Recreation Commission: This is to advise you that our group has no objection to the location of a Fire Station in Stulsaft Park; in fact, we welcome it as a safety feature. This point has already been discussed by Chief Lodi and Mr. Hastings of the firm of Murphy and Hastings, and we are sure a suitable arrangement can be worked out to the satisfaction of all.

The Clerk read the City Engineer's letter wherein it was stated that the owners of this property have converted a double garage into living quarters and have left only a single garage at the end of the residence building. The concrete double driveway to the previous double garage is now being used for a patio area. It has not been the policy of the City in the past to allow or grant driveway permits except to serve an existing garage, unless a building permit for an additional garage was obtained before construction of the driveway. It was the City Engineer's recommendation that the request for additional driveways be denied inasmuch as the garage which these driveways would serve had been abandoned and converted to residential use. Many others in the city have been denied the same privilege. Councilman Herkner stated that he had gone out to look at the property and he was of the opinion that this was used for parking and not for a patio. Mr. Jain stated that the Council has turned down several other similar items, one of the latest being that of Mr. Bevilockway. Mr. Hedlund stated that he did not use this as a patio. This was followed by discussion. The building Inspector stated that he did not believe that the Council should grant this permit because they would be setting a president. Councilman Britschgi moved that the request be denied, seconded by Councilman Granger and carried. CITY ENGINEER REGARDING PECAN COURT AND KENTFIELD=-PAL1d-VALOTA DRAINAGE. The Clerk read the following: "In approving the final map of Pecan Court Tract, east of Valota Road, the subdivider was required to construct a 12 -inch R. C. P. Storm drain to Kentfield Avenue, and to deposit the sum of $4000 with proposed Kentfield-Palm-Valota Improvement District. It has now developed that the 12 -inch storm drain required for Pecan Court Tract to Kentfiled Avenue would have to be removed to allow construction of the proposed 27 -inch storm drain when the large assessment district is developed, as they would both be within the same easement, which is not wide enough to accommodate both structures. The 12 -inch storm drain would serve no purpose after the 27 -inch drain is constructed. It is our recommendation that the offer of the subdivider to construct 36 feet of 12 -inch R. C. P., 120 feet of 27 -inch R. C. P., two manholes, and necessary sub inlets for future connection, as shown on the attached drawing, be accepted, and that he be reimbursed in an estimated amount not to exceed $2000 from his $4000 deposit with the City. The remainder of the deposit will be retained to cover any additional assesments against property in Pecan Court Tract for storm drainage improvements. It is our opinion that this alternate consture- tion can be justified in order to avoid duplication of construction, and to save unnecessary
