Lack of an alley of sufficient width would result in trucks using residential streets. In regard to cost of paving should this be under- taken, Mr. Jain stated that property benefiting would normally pay the assessments, however, �,,,, there was no plan to pave in the near future. Mr. C. F. MacLain, 3185 Hoover Street, appeared � in protest of the program ob3ecting to the width of the alley and the fact that property owners would probably pay for the improvements. �4r. MacLain stated that the Planning Com- mission had indicated th�t the State would not build a service road giving access to the new freeway, however, he had written the State and had been advised that present plans � called for a service road to Fifth Avenue but that nothin.g had been decided up beyond � Fifth Avenue South. The protestant stated positively that he objected to the alleg which would create noise, hazard and dust conditions. After thorou�h discussion, C,ouncilma.n Britschgi suggested closing the public hearing and carrying the matter on the agenda to allow time for the City Enginee� to contact the State to find out where the service road is going. Councilman Britschgi so awved, seconded by Councilman Spillers. Councilman Granger was of the opinion that the public hearing should be held open until everyone had an opportunity to be heard. Mr. �+IlacLain again addressed the Council and asked whether or not the alley could be constructed from gas tax funds. Assistant Building Inspector Kreiss requested information clarifying the position of the Building Department in granting per- mits. City Attorneg stated that plan lines would protect the future and would prohibit building which would complicate and prove to be expensive should the Council decide build- ""�'""" alley at a later date. Councilman Stout then offered an amendznent to the motion continu- ,�,,� ing the public hearing to September 7th, the Building Department to refrain from issuing building permits. The motion was seconded by Councilman Jones and carried.

The motion was seconded by Councilman Spillers and carried. PUBLIC HEARING: CONTINUATION OF HEARING, REZOI�TE L�TS 1 TO J.�., RENATO OAKS, REQUEST OF F. LOG- RASSO, EL RANCHO, 283�. EL CAMINO REAL.

Mr. Lograsso proposed build- ,,�,,, ing nine additional motel units together with a screen fence which would act as a screen between the proposed bar and restaurant and the residents. In answer to Councilman Stouts � question as to whether or not the motel units would be a part of the overall plan and would be built at the saxne time as the restaurant and bar, Mr. Lograsso stated that the new units were needed and would be built as soon as financial arrangements could be made. Mr�.Cal- � velli and Mr. Bareilles ob�ected strsnuously stating that the� did not want a bar backed � � up to the rear of their property.
