Communication was received from the Planning Commission recommending favorable action by the Council on the tentative map of Atherwood Subdivision with- certain re- visions. Inasmuch as a resolution of intention to annex this subdivision was passed at the last meeting of the Council, this communication was ordered filed for future reference. Communication was received from A. J. Hall requesting permission to construct a room in the attic of a double garage at his residence at 283 Fulton Street to be used as sleeping quarters for his son who has asthma. City Manager Blom advised that the ordinance provides that no quarters may be built over a garage unless ap- proved by the Council. City Attorney McCarthy further advised that if approved the quarters must be occupied by a member of the family and never rented. There was considerable discussion as to the jurisdiction the Council would have over the use of this room in the event the present owner sold the property, Mayor Hilton and Councilman Britschgi being of the opinion that the Council would not be able to enforce the provisions of the ordinance and believed the permit should be granted with no provisions. Councilman Armstrong moved, seconded by Council- man McNulty, that the permit be granted with the understanding that the room is to be used as sleeping quarters for a member of the present family occupying the premises and that it is not to be used for by anyone other than members of the family. The motion passed with Mayor Hilton and Councilman Britschgi voting in the negative and Councilman Werder absent. Application was received from the Sequoia Nursery for a permit to construct green- houses on Valota Road. Councilman Brigschgi moved, seconded by Councilman Armstrong, that the communication be referred to the Planning Commission. Under fz I
