ago, permission was given by the City Council to construct a temporary drainage ditch around the property until the dredging was coempleted. It is our recollection, however., that the owner was obligated to provide drainage facilities through his property at such time as it was developed. The present temporary ditch is approx— imately 4..000 feet in length, laid at Zero grade, and cannot under the conditions be considered an adequate drainage channel. It has not been properly maintained by the owner and was constructed entirely on private property. No easements have been granted to the City, so the City has no jurisdictions over the maintenance and operation of this channel, It is our recommendation that Mr. Blomquist be given permission to construct a sanitary sewer across his property to connect into the existing Bayshore interceptor sewer prior to approval of any subdivision map in this area. The reason W++ for this recommendation is so that Mr. Blomquist nay relocate the Blomquist 011 Company facilities to make room for the new Bayshore Freeway. It is.our further recommendation, based upon present available information, that the entire area be filled to an elevation of at least one foot above highest estimated tide level, and the streets also be constructed to this minimum elevation, to protect all future purchasers of property in the area. You will recall that this was the requirement established approximately two years ago for other industrial property north of the Bayshore Highways Respectfully submitted., Glenn M.
