Meeting called to order at 8:00 p.m.; Chairman Martin presiding.
FOR STUDY:
1. RESUBDIVISION: Lots 1,2,3,4C, Block 6, Unit No. 3 Millsdale
Industrial Park.
Mr. James Brett, Coldwell Banker Company, representing the owners,
reported there to be approximately 6.36 acres in the parcel. Develop -
went plans are uncertain and the owners are requesting a resubdivision
into the four (4) lots described on the map to set a land pattern for
future sales.
The City Engineer, in response to the Chair, advised that the
resubdivision-as proposed will require the installation of additional,
sanitary sewers. The existing sewerage facilities cannot service
the four (4) parcels as set out on the map. Mr. Marr sugg6sted that
the construction of such public works by the City identifies the
proposal as a subdivision, requiring the application of the City's
subdivision ordinance.
In ensuing discussion, Members concurred in the City Engineer's
statement. The City Attorney proposed that the owners submit a
tentative map for Commission approval at the regular meeting,
February 25, holding the final map until their plans are determined.
2. RESUBDIVISION: Parcel 35-A, Lot 35, Block 13, Unit No,, 3
Millsdale Industrial Park.
Mr. Jack Van Zandt, civil engineer, representing the owners,
reported that the resubdivision serves to divide Parcel 354A into two
parcels "C" and "D"; "C" a strip twenty (20) feet wide to be made
part of the adjoining large lot.
In response to the Chair, City Engineer Marr.and Planning
Condultant Mann reported the proposal to be a proper resubdivision.
Chairman Martin suggested to Mr. Van Zandt that the remaining forty
(40) foot parcel, rD", be made a part of Lot 34-•A to eliminate the
narrow lot. A hearing was thereafter scheduled for February 25.

3. FINAL MAP: Smallcomb Industrial Park.
The City Engineer reported that the final snap differed from the
previously approved tentative map in the lot lay -out. The plan now
proposes three (3) lots, the fourth parcel possibly to be sold as
acreage. Members reviewed the map and scheduled a hearing for the
next regular meeting, February 25.
4. GASOLINE SERVICE STATION - El Camino Real and Dufferin Avenue.
Mr. John J. Cannon, 1121 Dufferin Avenue, in attendance, in
behalf of a group 'of interested homeowners, addressed the Commission
protesting any contemplated rezoning to permit operation of a service
station on property located at the northeast corner of El Camino Real
and Dufferin Avenue.
Chairman Martin observed that there was no such application be-
fore the Commission but should a hearing be scheduled, property owners
would be notified as required by City ordinance„
5. RESUBDIVISION - Lot 24, Kenmar Terrace.
Mr. Frank Gallo discussed informally plans for resubdivision
of the above property into two or three lots. Commissioners agreed
to visit the site and at the February 25 meeting; discuss further
with Mr. Gallo the possibilities of properly dividing the land.
6. NURSERY SCHOOL Eugene Umla nd,, 1515 Are Way.
Mr. Eugene Umland solicited Commission opinion with reference to
the operation of a nursery school in a residence at the above location.
Commissioners expressed some doubt that a commercial, enterprise would
meet with neighborhood approval and suggested to Mr. Umland that he
poll, his neighbors prior to filing a variance application.
7. PETITION:- To rezone Lots 14 and 15, Block 10, Mills Estate No. 3,
from C-3 (professional business) to R-2 (second
residential, duplex) .
Mr. Harold Asher, in attendance, submitted the petition, signed
by nineteen property owners, and declared that the rezoning to R-2
was requested to prevent construction of additional apartment build-
ings in the neighborhood. There are three such developments at
present and it is understood that an additional apartment is under
consideration for'these two remaining lots, the :last of the C-3
zoning on the street. Mr. Asher urged the Commission to favorably
consider the request because of the predominately duplex pattern now
established on Sequoia Avenue.
In ensuing discussion, Mr. Asher was informed that an action
for reclassification of land may be taken on the motion of the Com-
mission or the application of the property owners. Members agreed
to consider the petition at the regular meeting, February 25, and
determine at that time the advisability of conducti-ng a public hear-
ing. It was further suggested to Mr. Asher that the owner of the
land be informed of the petition.
