Ampex state that the location of facilities in the Peninsula Motor Express yard is such that driveways installed in accordance with the Ordinance would make operations exceedingly difficult, if not impossible. They request favorable action on Peninsula's request for a vari- ance to enable Peninsula Motor Express to have a driveway sufficiently wide to serve the loading dock. Ampex's concern is in obtaining a safe walkway along Char- ter Street. They cannot see any need to limit the driveway width as the trend in this vicinity is towards more off- street parking areas. It was decided to hold this matter for consideration at the July 14th Study Meeting. Councilman Britschgi suggested the Council look over the situation and at the same time, study the prob- lem at Redwood Wholesale Grocery. It was decided to meet at 7:30 P.M., July 14 and visit the area. TRAFFIC FACT FINDING COMMITTEE - RECOMMEND INSTALLATION STOP SIGNS ARCH STREET AT BREWSTER AVENUE, CYPRESS STREET AT PARK STREET.

Councilman Royer reported on the proposed sale of 2.9 acres of Hawes Park #2 stating that the School Board had offered to purchase the property at $30,000.00 without an appraisal.

He was advised that the ex- pansion would be on the Grand Street side of the plant and would not affect the off - street parking lot.
