No access was physi- � cally possible to any of these properties prior to constr��ction of these street improvements and culvert. � , - Th� property owned by Nir. Higaki was n�t assessed for any part of these improvements. This permanent , barricade was ins�alled as a part o� these street improvements. We can see no objections to A1r. Higaki havi.ng access to this street; ho�vever� it is our recommendation that ar�y approval granted be by a revcscabl.e pex�it� and conditioned £urther upon Mr. Higaki, granting the Czty an easement ior street purposes over t he the northeasterly 27 fee+ of Y�is property� or entering into a f ormal agreement with the City whereby he would agree to not construct ar�r permanent improven,ents over this portion of his property required for the fi�ture extension of Sierra Street.

In thi� even+� the Planning Co�mission should be requested to e st- ablish plar_ lines immediately. The above suggestions are made for the purpose of protecting the right-of�ray and assuring the ultima�t,e development of Sierra Street without, excessive sever�.nce damages.
