303 HIGHLANDS TERRITORY NO. 5. Letter from Fire Chief Lodi read which_states_ that the area adjoins recently annexed territory. Streets that already exist are dead -ended and plan lines to permit cul -de -sac should be insisted upon in the future. In this case, it appears to be practically impossible to arrive at such a solution, therefore, the Fire Department has no objection to the annexation now under discussion. City Attorney Currie reported that a letter had been circulated in which the property owners indicated that they would not request utilities until such time as same are available. Three of the property owners signed this agreement, one withholding action at this time. Mr. Currie advised the Coun- cil that if the annexation is completed, there is no obligation that the City will have to develop adequate sewer or water facilities other than at the expense of the property owner by forming an assessment district. Mr. George Wimmer appeared and stated that he is anx- ious to come in to the City as he works for the Fire Department and it is necessary that he live within the City. The City Attorney advised that the Smith property could be elimi- - nested from the area under consideration. Councilman Granger moved that the necessary steps - be taken to annex all of the area except Lots 9 and 10, seconded by Councilman Spillers. Councilman hoyer offered amendment to the motion referring the matter to the City Attorney who will include Lots 9 and 10 if the Smiths will sign. Councilman Granger stated that there appears to be no objections from the Official Family provided the people who do not sign are excluded. Motion seconded by Councilman Stout, City Attorney to report in one week. Mr. Quadt wanted to be assured that he be allowed to connect in to the sewer line which will be installed adjacent to his property. Motion carried. CITY COLLECTOR REPORT ON RECENT AUCTION SALE AT 1612 EL CAMINO REAL. Mr. Paul Perrin, City Col- lector, reported that the purpose of the auction was to raise funds and was conducted in full accordance with Ordinance. Councilman Britschgi suggested that this report be referred to the City Attorney to suggest new methods of tightening up on this particular procedure of sale. Councilman Britschgi so moved, seconded by Councilman Granger and carried. MISCELLANEOUS BUILDING INSPECTOR AND FIRE MARSHAL REPORT ON INSPECTION BUILDING AT 32 LUCERNE AVENUE. The re- port of Building Inspector and Fire Marshal indicates that the building would not conform to the building code and could not be moved. Councilman Britschgi suggested that it might be feasible to open Geneva to Hess Road which would result in leaving the house on Lucerne. City Engineer was directed to prepare plans including the opening of Lucerne, however, and after further discussion, it was decided to continue as decided. PROPOSED MOVING BOOT BLACK STAND TO GREYHOUND DEPOT SITE. Mr. Jones appeared requesting per- mission to move to the Greyhound Depot. He had a letter from the Bus Company stating that he may move there if he complies with certain stipulations which he has agreed to. Coun- cilman Royer moved that the building be allowed to be moved to the Greyhound Bus area, sec- onded by Councilman Spillers. Councilman Granger requested that the permit be revokable permit for one year, along the lines stipulated by the bus company. Mr. Bud Stevenson adressed the Council protesting the location of this building at the Greyhound Depot site as did Councilman Jones. After some discussion regarding the appearance and improvement of the building, the motion was Harried on roll call, Councilman Jones and Mayor Herkner voting NO.
