274�._.� Planning Commission recommendation No. 4: On behalf of.Land Degelopment..C.ompany, tentative map of Redwood Terrace No. 2 was approved with the exception of the portion thereof as to Lots -1 to.12.in Block 1, as shown on the map. Those lots are to be eliminated from the map. Another exception to the map was the requirement that a street.be opened into Woodside Road approximately midway in a block of about 1800 feet in length provided the State Highway v.y Commission does not disapprove this additional entry into the high speed road, Mr. Ludwig Werder, representing the Land Development Company, was agreeable to cutting the street through. Councilman Armstrong brought out the fact that two subdivisions of this area have been proposed. .One im- mediately adjoining Valota Road and the other the proposed area now before the Council which would be at the extreme westerly side of the tract. He stated this will immediately necessitate the extending of water mains to the end of the tract. He said it was his understanding that this tract was to be put in block by block. City Manager Blom advised that it would be impossible to supply water to that area from the Woodside main and that it would involve laying a wstei main from the reservoir. Councilman Granger stated his understanding was that the city would lay the main to the city limits and that the subdividers would be furnished water as the project progressed. There was considerable discussion as to the cost of providing the mains and the manner in which they would be provided. Councilman Fletcher moved, seconded by Councilman Britschgi, that the tentative map of Redwood Terrace No. 2 be accepted as recommended by the -Planning Com- mission and that the matter of water supply be referred to the water study committee. Motion passed unanimously. Planning Commission recommendation No. 5: -Favorable action was recommended on Lyle F. Bourquin's application for permission to resubdivide Lots:l,.2 and 3 in Block 1 of New High School Acres into four lots by cutting off the rear end of Lots 1, 2 and 3, making a separate lot facing on James Avenue, with a width of approximately 63 feet and a depth of 120 feet. Each of the four lots will have over 5000 square feet. Councilman Britsohgi moved, seconded by Councilman Fletoher, that the recommendation of the Planning Commission be accepted. Motion passed unanimously. Planning Commission recommendation No. 6: Approved tentative map of Eaton Avenue Villa provided the final map shows standard public improvements in Eaton Villa Place including pavement of street and standard curbs and gutters on Eaton Avenue and Eaton Villa Place. In view of the rural character of this development, the Planning Commission recommended that sidewalks;be not re- quired. City Attorney McCarthy explained that the subdivision is at the extreme end of the city and that the property owners all desired to keep it in rural condition. He also stated that the lots are all between 200 and 300 feet in width. Councilman Britschgi believed that once property was within the city it was no longer rural, while Councilman Armstrong believed that due to the size of the•lots requests would eventually be made to sub- divide them and he was not in favor of waiving the sidewalk requirement. This was the general consensus of the council. Councilman Armstrong moved, Cid UL L%1 ui Q
