_ . .. . .1s �.; .Y ;' (� Captain William Faul.stich, Assessor-Auditor John J. Brophy and Ad.ministrative Assistant Orrin E. Wendling, PERSONAL APPEARANCE JAMES D. PASCUAL TO REQUEST REZONING OF LOT 18, BLOCK �}, DINGEE PARK FROM FIRE ZONE N0. 1 to N0. 2. Mrs. Pasqual requested that his property be rezoned to Fire Zone No. 2 in order that certain improvements could be made to comply with the Building Code. Fire Chief Lodi was of the opinion that it would be bad policy to reduce the fire zone requirements� not � only in this instance but in anp other aection of the City, inasmuch as it was the desire ,� of the City to bring fire rates down. If the City establishea a policy of zoning downwards our relations with the Fire Rating Bureau would be jeopardized. Councilman Britschgi raoved denial of request, seconded by Councilman Granger who stated his opinion that such a move � �rould be dangerous inasmuch as this buidling wea intended for a rest home and was situat- ..� ed immediatel�r ad�acent to a garage. Motion carried. LAND DEVELOP�T COMPANY VERIFIED �LAINi FOR ALLEGED AMOUNT DUE ON IMPROVEMENTS ON HALF OF BAY ROAD ABUTTING CITY PROPERTY, FIRE STATION N0. 3. CITY ENGINEER REPORT. The Land Develop- ment Company are claiming a balance due on work done in the vieinity of Fire Station #3 amounting to ��.,846.63. City En�ineer Jain stated that the agreement w ith Land Develop- ment covered certain work to be done by them. The City Engineer�s office had submitted a statement to the Land Development �ompan�r some time ago at which time �1,105.03 had been paid, however, there appears to be a difference of opinion as to certain items which Land Developmsnt claims are properly chargeable to the City. The largest tiem in the bill apparently covers drainage. The City Engineer states that the fire station faces on Sec- ond Avenue which drains the City toward Bayshore. The drainage work done by the Land Developm�ent Company apparently is of no value to the City. City Attorney stated that this "�""' claim has been verified and it is within the province of the Land Developrnent Company to � attempt collection. He stated there were two things to be considered, one was to deny the claim and attempt to compromise and the other was to li�igate. Councilman Britschgi moved that claim be denied on the advise of the City Attorney and the City Engineer, secon- ded by Councilman Granger and carried.
