<br />Winklebleck. The Southern Pacific Company agreed to lease the property to the City. This was followed
<br />by discussion. Mr. Wolf from the Real Estate Department of the Southern Pacific Company spoke on the
<br />subject of zoning of the small triangle piece which would restrict the value of the piece and they proposed
<br />to grant the easement with the understanding that the City will abandon their plans to rezone the triangle
<br />piece bounded by James, Winklebleck and California streets. They ask6d that the City waive the off—street
<br />parking for the loss of the area. The cutting off of the piece that the City would require for Franklin
<br />' Street would reduce the use of the area considerably and it would be impossible to give up the area for
<br />Franklin Street and at the same time get full development of the property. This was followed by discussion.

<br />CITY MANAGER REPORT.REGARDING POSSIBILITY OF RAISING THE BUILDING PERMIT FEES. The City Manager reported that a
<br />study had been made of the building permit fees applicable in other Bay Area cities, as compared with
<br />Redwood City. The present permit schedule as applied in Redwood City at the present time, as compared with
<br />a.proposed permit schedule, has been designed to increase residential permits by the sum of approximately
<br />$25.00 each. It will be noted that, if applied to larger construction units such as apartments and commer—
<br />cial structures, the proposed building permit fees would be increased in similar proportion. Attention was
<br />called to the fact that this was submitted for study only, however, it is believed to be in keeping with
<br />previous suggestions. ,
