DENIAL RALPH KILBORN APPLICATION RESUB AND REZONE LOTS AT 1166 EBENER. Planning Commission stated that two public hearings had been held and there were many protests. The Council found it was not in the public interest to rezone the lots as requested. Councilman Royer moved public hearing be set for August 2, seconded by Councilman Spillers and carried. APPROVAL COMMISSION INITIATIVE TO REZONE AREA BOUNDED BY EDGEWOOD ROAD, CORDILLERAS CREEK, ALAMEDA, AND MELROSE TO R -1 -B -2 AND B -3. City Attorney explained that this proposed rezoning was to protect property owners and eliminate the possibility of reducing the size of the lots in the area. Councilman Spillers then moved the City Attorney prepare the necessary Ordinance, seconded by Councilman Jones and carried. COUNCILMAN STOUT reported on recent meeting of the Air Pollution Control Committee which was attended by representatives of the Bay Area, and tow hick he had attended as representa- tive of the Council. COUNCILMAN STOUT discussed the possibility of securing some of the industrial property east of Bayshore Highway for the disposal of refuse. His thought is that refuse might be dumped on this property and covered by the property owner, thus, property would eventually be filled to the level suggested by the Planning Commission, at a greatly reduced price. Councilman Stout suggested that the City Engineer prepare maps and possibly contact prop- erty owners in the area. Councilman Spillers was not in agreement with Councilman Stout's suggestion, stating that he had already discussed this matter with some of the property owners who were not willing to wait the time required for settling of the fill before land could be built upon. Councilman Spillers' opinion was that we should go in with other cities and the County in a joint project, cost to be shared. Councilman Jones suggested joining with San Carlos and Belmont as is now being done by the County with cities in the north end of the County. Councilman Stout then moved that the matter be referred to the City Engineer, he to develop or obtain maps indicating owners, the Council in the meantime to explore the matter more fully. Motion seconded by Councilman Granger. Under the discussion, Mrs. Vera Eskin stated people from outside Redwood City were using our City Dumps. City Manager advised an attempt was being made to work out a plan whereby the operator would be_able to identify those entitled to use the dump. Councilman Granger suggested an Ordinance including an identification card. Councilman Jones offered an amendment to Councilman Stout's motion to the effect that we join with County, San Carlos and Belmont engineers to study this problem, seconded by Councilman Spillers. Amendment was also withdrawn, and after considerable discussion, Councilman Stout moved that the matter be referred to City Manager to contact owners and report back to Council. Motion seconded by Councilman Royer and carried. Council- man Spillers then moved that City Manager work with a committee consisting of City Managers and Councilmen of Belmont and San Carlos and Supervisors of San Mateo County. Motion seconded by Councilman Jones. City Manager Rolison stated he was meeting with San Carlos and Belmont in a few days and he hoped something would be accomplished at that meeting. Motion carried, Councilman Stout voting "No ".
