Meeting called to order at 8:10 p,m.; Chairman Martin presiding.
FOR STUDY:
1. FINAL MAP "Burlwav Industrial Park" - proposed subdivision of an
d acre parcel of the Lowrie Paving Company, Inc., lying
between the Bayshore Freeway and the Old Bayshore Highway.
City Engineer Marr advised that the only changes from the approved tent-
ative map were the elimination of 2 five foot public utility easements.
This appeared to be satisfactory as the subdivision ordinance does not
require back lot placement of utility poles in industrial developments.
Lee Ham, Engineer for Burlway Industrial Park, explained that the street
placement of poles eliminated wires crossing the drainage channel, and
the Planning Consultant suggested that any poles set (in the street) now
would serve surrounding land when developed. erv.�c �ccL

A proposal offered to utilize part of the Old Bayshore Highway, recently
deeded to the City by the State, by making it available to Mr. Lowrie and
other property owners in the industrial area was referred to the City
Attorney for investigation.
2. TENTATIVE MAP - Smallcomb Industrial - proposed subdivision of a
parcel 4-1/e acres riui, or amaiicomo moror uompa
with a 350 footfrontage on old Bayshore Highwa
north of the Broadway overpass.
Jim Roemer of Wilsey & Ham, Engineers, representing Mr. Smallcomb,
stated that the development would be across from the Lowrie Paving Com-
pany property. The property extends into the Bay and the fill would be
carried to the end of the property line. In discussing the drainage
procedure, it was determined that adjoining properties must be consider-
ed, and the City Engineer was requested to investigage and submit a re-
port at the July 23rd meeting.
3. RESUBDI VISION BLOCK 27, MILLS ESTATE NO. 5.
City Attorney Karmel advised that the City Council had granted to the
developers of the Mills Estate an extension of one year, to July 1, 1957s
on the Agreement for the Improvement of Mills Estate No. 5, and the ap-
plication for the resubdivision is now proper. Mr. Karmel stated fur-
ther that a decision had not been reached on the final disposition of
the parcel and the proper procedure on the map was undecided at this
time. The Commission therefore requested the City Attorney, in coll-
aboration with the Attorney for'the developers, to determine the re-
quirements of the developers and the course of action for the Commission.

4. IMPROVEMENT OF CAROLAN AVENUE - TOYON DRIVE TO MORRELL AVENUE
Mrs. William J. McKeon, 904 Larkspur Drive, in attendance, requested
the Commission to consider the improvement of Carolan Avenue from Toyon
Drive to Morrell Avenue and urged some assistance for the residents in
the area to secure completion of that portion of the street work.
Following some discussion, Commissioners concurred that they were not in
position to take action but informed Mrs. McKeon that an assessment dis-
trict could be formed by the property owners or by petition to the City
Council.
In response to the floor, Planning Consultant Mann reported that a study
of the Deed conveying to the City of Burlingame, by W. S. Leadley, title
to 20f f4ide strip of land adjacent to and parallel with the northeasterly
line of Carolan Avenue for the extension of Carolan Avenue, in consider-
ation that the property would not be assessed for said improvement, dis-
closed that the 20 foot strip was to be free of assessment but the Deed
did not state that the balance of the property was not to be assessed.
Edward Leis, 1031 Morrell Avenue, and Mrs. McKeon protested this inter-
pretation and were thereafter advised by the Chair to submit a request
to the City Council for a meeting with the property owners holding such
a Deed to determine a course of action.
The Chair announced that the next matter for consideration was postponed
from the regular meeting of June 25. The adjourned meeting was therefore
called to order at 10:15 p.m. for consideration of the following:
REVISED TENTATIVE MAP - MILLS ESTATE AREA
Lee Ham, Engineer for the Mills Estate, advised the Commission that the
revised map covered all of the undeveloped area and a portion of Mills
Estate No. 5, and requested approval on that portion from Sebastian
Drive easterly to Mills Estate No. 5 and No. 7.
The Commissioners expressed reluctance to approve part of a tentative
map and in the discussion that followed disapproved of the steep grade
of Divisadero Street, the dividing line between Burlingame Avenue and
Millbrae; suggested a break in the street to eliminate the long steep
stretch; suggested curvature in some of the other streets and requested
a change in the name Divisadero. (iHzsee next page)
Mr. Ham agreed to submit the entire map with the recommended changes, at
the next meeting, and it was thereafter moved by Commissioner Henderson
that action be postponed to the regular meeting of July 23, seconded by
Commissioner Norberg:
AYES: COMMISSIONERS: Henderson-Martin-Norberg

Study Meeting
July 9, 1956
**On the portion of Mills Estate No. 5, proposed to be resubdivided,
members agreed to take action at the next meeting on the basis of find-
ings to be submitted by City Attorney Karmel and Attorney Stevens.
The Chair announced the final matter for study:
5. RESUBDIVISION - MILLS ESTATE NO. 1, BLOCK 1, LOTS 2-3-4.
Lee Ham advised the Commissioners that Coldwell Banker Company felt
theland would be more easily sold if 50 foot frontages were available
to accommodate the smaller merchants. The Planning Consultant suggested,
and members concurred, that 100 foot pieces be established and requested
that a representative of the Coldwell Banker Company be in attendance at
the regular meeting in July.
There being no further matters for discussion, the meeting was adjourned
at 10:50 P.M.
Respectfully submitted
