t the.time for whieh,the permit would be granted. City Attorney McCarthy re- ferred.to the ordinance and advised there was no time limit specified but concurred in Councilman Werder's opinion that at any time conditions,did not comply -with the ordinance abatement proceedings could be instituted. . Council- man Vierder moved, seconded by Councilman Swift, that upon the recommendation of the Building Inspector and due to the location being one that would not be detrimental to surrounding property the permit be granted'.. Motion passed ' unanimously. Petition was received signed by many residents of Redwood Pity requesting signal lights.be placed at the Chestnut Street and Bayshore Highway crossing'to oper- ate especially at the peak hours of traffic Councilman Werder expressed himself as being heartily in favor of the request but asked what the.plans were for the new highway at this intersection. City Manager Blom advised,that it was planned to take the highway over Chestnut Street and also the railroad tracks but that the project would probably not be completed for several years and he believed the City would be justified in requesting traffic signals at this intersection. He believed the State Highway Department should bear at least part -of the cost or possibly all of it. Councilman Werder moved, second - ed by Councilman Armstrong, that the City Manager be instructed to confer with the necessary authorities to place traffic signals at Chestnut Street and Bayshore Highway and to bring in a report at the next meeting. Motion passed unanimously. Communication was received from the Land Development Company referring to a.deposi- tary contract entered into between the City of Redwood City, Land Development Company and the First National Bank wherein the Land Development Company deposited with the bank the sum of $$65,000 to insure the completion of improve- ments in Redwood Terrace No. 2. Reference was made to Resolution No. 288 in which it was resolved that the city would furnish water mains in this ..,tract. Due to the fact that the contractors are now ready to install the paving and water pipe is not available at this time, it was requested that the installation of sidewalks be eliminated at this time with the understanding that an addition al agreement be made for the installation of the sidewalks after the.water pipe has been installed,the,water pipe to be installed in -the sidewalk area. It was requested that the City Manager be authorized to eliminate therepnstru- tiori of the sidewalks from the agreement and authorize him to enter itito'a separate agreement for the installation of the sidewalks at,a later date so that the Land Development Company would ke in a position to complete all the requirements and obligations of the agreement. City Manager Blom stated he would be willing to recommend the request be granted insofar as one street was concerned, that street being parallel and adjacent to Woodside Road. 611 pipe is0ailable for the other streets in the tract. It is planned to put 8" pipe in the street adjacent to Woodside Road and for that reason the sidewalk should be delayed until the pipe is available. Mr. 4Verder, representing the Land Development Company, appeared and stated this would be agreeable to his company. He said they wanted as supplement agreement so that 250 of their deposit would not be held up pending completion of the entire improvements, 3
