<br />CITY.ENGINEER.REGARDING PROPOSED ANNEXATION WICKETT INDUSTRIL.SUBDIVISION .(BOUNDED BY BAY ROAD,
<br />SECOND AVENU, FIFTH AVENUE AND NORTHEASTERLY LINE OF NORTH FAIR OAKS SUBDIVISION NO. 1.)
<br />City Engineer _Jain-stat.ed..in. his .letter_,that..a..tentative subdivision map and poposed an-
<br />nexation was submitted, on. b.ehalf_ of...John.,.Wickett,..by..MeCandless and. Jett, engineers, to
<br />the Planning. Commiasion. ,An_August..... Mr..wicke.tt.-reques.ted.preliminary approval by the
<br />II
<br />i' Planning... Commission. of.. tha. p.ropos.ed._industrial,.subdivision-fronting on the extension of
<br />Spring Street. between-Second.Avenue. and F.i.fth.Avenue,..which blocked off third Avenue and
<br />Fourth. Avenue..frombeing extended.,through..to either, Spring. Street extension or to Bay Road.
<br />i
<br />The Planning Commission, on August 30, gave tentative approval to this map, with the
<br />i
<br />understanding.that.Third Avenue..and.Fourth.Avenue..would..no.t be required to be extended,
<br />and. that..no, side.walks.. would... ba -required. -on Spring. Street..
<br />The... Engine ers..have. made..a study.of .this..,area,_ and..have_.consult.ed,with -Fire Chief Lodi,
<br />!�1
<br />.,t and it is their joint opinion.that Third Avenue.and Fourth Avenue should be extended at
<br />if least..to. Spring, Street,, and. that..an..adequate- storm. drainage., system, should be constructed
<br />�I I throughout.. the. tract_ to.. drain .to .the. nearest, existing.-starm drainage system at Bay Road
<br />and.Fifth Avenue. This storm drainage was discussed briefly with the City Council at a
<br />recent. study meeting. It is their recommendation,.also, ,that..at least 5 -foot sidewalks
<br />IIjI t l be required in the indus.trial..subdivis.ion .for..the.-..convenience. and safety of employees of
<br />f '
<br />the. _prop.se.d_ industri.e.s.. _At. such.. time, ...as- the., lots., are .built..upon, the additional width
<br />,j
<br />of sidewalks....can.,.be_.re.quir..ed.to. confarm..to- the, City ordinance....
<br />It would appear inevitable .that,this .entire area.will eventually be annexed to 'Redwood
<br />I ; City,. so. proper- planning... to. .eliminate .deadend., streets. and to provide adequate storm
<br />drainage should be made.
<br />j
<br />Fire...Chief..Lodi.,... in..his...le.tter, stated that. in.l.00king..aver_ the tentative map, 3rd and
<br />,III
<br />d 4th..Avenues...will.. be, dead -ended, at. the west and .of..thia . subdivision....These deadends will
<br />be approximately_.5.50'.. long... although..the..deadenda..will.be_.in.,._c.aunty .territory, there is
<br />a possibility. ,that .this may.,become._a .part .of .th&.ci.ty,,a_t..aoma .future. date.. He urged that
<br />,E
<br />this ... matter be studied thoroughly, evento the extent..of discussing it with the San Mateo
<br />County .Flanning...Aoard,.no.t...to allow. _this. type of planning.
<br />The.creation of.deadends., especially in commercial or indtistrial.areas, is not good
<br />ij planning from the Fire Department standpoint and it is possible that some time in the
<br />future it may occur that it will be necessary to -eliminate the deadend.
<br />1 ; Councilman Spillers asked if this had been, brought...up before the Planning Commission.
<br />City Engineer. Jain stated.. that -tentative plans. had.,b.een_made_, ..William McClure, engineer
<br />with.McC.andless,and._Jett.,. spoke regarding tha traffic.situation on Third and Fourth
<br />Avenues... .They.foal..that „theresidents on these two streets will not want the traffic which
<br />ithey would be subject to.. They feel that it was not wise or fair that they be required
<br />to pave the streets in the manner require.d..,.Councilman.Britschgi,,asked,,that this be put
<br />!
<br />on, the -agenda for a study.meeting_ before^ giving _an..answer... He. was, of the opinion that
<br />they. did not. want ..t.o annex_ if. they. w ill -be -required to- improve....the. streets to the' extent
<br />1, that the City would'require.. Mr. KcClure stated that they had not been aware that this
