401 I construction plans have not yet been prepared ; however , with this kind and amount of information at this time , environmental impact reports can be drawn up . A couple of the sensitive areas were mentioned such as the proximity to the Airport--the location with respect to a former slough bed and the concerns with water supply and sewer disposal , and traffic area . Councilman Weymouth moved to adopt RESOLUTION NO . 6909 APPROVING AND AUTHORIZ- ING EXECUTION OF AGREEMENT FOR PERSONAL SERVICES FOR THE PREPARATION OF AN ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT , seconded by Councilman Norris and carried on roll call vote . Request for Variance - Location of driveways at the northerly corner of Whipple Avenue and Industrial Way . ( Written Report was submitted to Council . ) A drawing was shown on the screen and in answer to question as to the possi- bility of compromising safety, Director of Public Works clarified the need to enlarge the existing curb return to allow easier turning movements from a proposed right-turn lane for westbound traffic on Whipple Avenue . In order to accomplish the proposed work, however , additional right-of-way will have to be acquired from the existing service station property . City would be able to obtain the right-of-way if the variance is granted , and construction will be at no expense to the City . Councilman Norris moved to authorize granting of Variance as recommended , seconded by Councilman Rhodes and carried . (MINUTE ORDER #73--66 ) Disposal of surplus City property in rear of 1615 to 1725 Maddux Drive . ( Report was submitted to Council . ) A drawing was presented on the screen showing the additional property situated between the rear property lines and the fence of the recently constructed storm drain channel, varying from zero feet to twenty-four feet . Councilman Henderson expressed concern as to whether or not these lots would become large enough to be possible candidates for split-lot develop- ment or pan-handle kind of development . In the ensuing discussion it was noted this would be a difficult circumstance because of the lot widths , and since these lots presently are developed with single family homes on them . It was also noted that Council might condition the disposal of the rear property, but future Councils would not be bound by this condition . City Attorney advised, in answer to question regarding access for creek maintenance , that this is included in bid instructions . City also re- serves right to reject all bids , and one reason might be if not all parcels can be sold . 5/21/73 Reg . Mtg .
