TO BAYSHORE HIGHffAY. The Clerkxead the following letter from the Division of Highways: Reference is made to your letter of August 17, 1956s inquiring as to the status of our studies of the Five Points intersection and the extension of Spruce Street Between El Camino Real (Route•2) and the Bayshore Freeway (Route 68)• As stated at a meeting in this office on November 5, 1954, the priority of other work has made it impossible for us to undertake a comprehensive study of these problems. Studies of State Highway Route 107 have now been authorized, from Woodside to the Bayshore Freeway, and are expected to be in progress later this year. The study will include the problem of Five Points and consideration of the best highway routing between Five Points and the Bayshore Freeway. The design for the Five Points intersection has not as yet been determined and consequently no 'estimate of cost.is available. Since the site is the intersection of two State routes it is to be expected that the State will bear the entire cost of construction of whatever type of facility is required. .The extension of Spruce Street easterly to the Bayshore was planned by the City and ' it was at the request of the City that the interchange at the Bayshore Freeway was revised to provide a connection to this proposed street rather than to Chewtnut Street, as originally planned. Improvement to Spruce Street under its existing status as a city street, would be a city responsibility. 283 Councilman Herkner asked that the newspapers please make note of this. Councilman Britschgi stated that next Monday night, September 24th, Assemblyman Dolwig is going to have a study meeting on Highway Studies. He seed permission to attend this meeting. Permission was granted. PERSONNEL BOARD RECOMMENDATION REGARDING SALARY RANGE PARK, SEWER,'STREET AND WATER LEADINGMEN. The Clerk read the letter wherein it was stated that after interviewing the leadingmen and representatives of the Water and Street Departments, the Board found that leadingmen work to, and are responsible for supervision of job performance of the'Equipment Operator II, and therefore, they recommend that a salary differential between the two types of positions should be'establi.shed. The Personnel Board recommends that the salary range for the positions of Park, Sewer,'Street and Water Leadingmen be advanced from range 30 to range 31. Councilman Stout moved approval of the recommendation of the Personnel Board, seconded by Councilman Britscbgi. The question was raided if this would mean a change in the salary ordinance. Councilman Stout added to . his motion that the City Attorney prepare the necessary amendment. This was agreed to by the second and the motion carried.

PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDED APPROVAL OA= TRACT SUBDIVISION SUBJECT TO: 1. Large lot marked "Not a part of this subdivision's be included in subdivision. 2. All engineering requests of the City Engineer be met. 3. Tract name be changed to avoid conflict with Oakleigh Tract. 4. Street be constructed to tie into Virginia Street and it contain 34 feet of paving. 5. Curbs, gutters and sidewalks (except sidewalks in front of large lot) required along both sides of the entire length of Rosemary lane. The Clerkxead the following letter submitted by Co E. Randlett, Engineer: Gentlemen: I am submitting for you consideration the Tentative Map of Oakley Tfiact. This map has been revised and conforms with all requirements of the Subdivision Ordinance. The map was approved by the Planning Commission and it is not required to submit it to the Council for approval; however, since there has been so much discussion regarding the street location in this subdivision, we wish to get the Council's approval before proceeding with the expense of the final map and improvement plans. One of the objections of the property owners, who will have corner lots on Virginia Avenue when Rosemary Lane is constructed, is that their houses will be too close to the new sidewalks. In order to overcome this objection the Planning Commission recommended that the sidewalks along the sides of these lots be constructed contiguous to the curb and t 4 feet wide so that the edge of the sidewalk will,be 10 feet from the houses. This will provide the usual distance between the sidewalk and houses on the sides of corner lots. The subdividers have proposed seve4al different layouts on this property in order to provide the best subdivision from a planning point of view, and also to meet the wishes
