HEARINGS
1. ORDINANCE PROVIDING FOR INCREASED SPEED LIMIT ON OCC]DENTAL AVENUE
Mayor Mangini announced a departure from the agenda order to hear, first,
audience corunent on the above legislation, scheduled for hearing and action
by the City Council this evening-
Mayor Mangini declared the hearing open to the floor. Douglas Bow1us, 135
Occidental Avenue, reported that the entire situation of traffic and control
was addressed at the Traffic, Safety and Parking Commission meeting of
February 12, Lg76. The minutes of that meeting recite that he and Mrs'
Roy Muetzenbergi, I28 Occidental Avenue, as requested by the Commission'
=pof. with their neighbors about the increase in speed limit from 25 to
30 MpH in line with engineering studies made by the city's Traffic
Engineer. Mr. Bowlus explained that, prior to contacting the neighbors,
he and Mrs. Muetzenberg met with sergeant o'Brien, and were informed of
legislation relating to use of radar in speed limit enforcement' Residents
interviewed had reservations about the higher speed limit' Because they want
radar and. understand its use is legislated by the State, they are willing to
accept the higher speed on a trail basis. They asked for a painted cross-
walk on the south side of the HowardlOccidental intersection and a stop
sign at the same location for traffic northbound on Occidental Avenue'
There are many sight obstructions making this an unsafe intersection; an
oversize hedge, trees and cars parked on the street are contributinq factors'
Mr. Bowlus advised the crosswalk has been painted. The Commission, based
on statements by the Traffic Engineer that a stop sign would expose the
city to undue liability, decided not to recommend the sign. I"1r' Bowlus
contended there are many areas throughout the City that create situations
of liability to the City, Heritage Park and Washington Park, as examples'
Councilman Harrison stated when the Ordinance was presented to the Council
at the meeting of March 15 it. was indicated there \^7as neighborhood agree-
ment supportive of the increased speed limit. Traffic, safety, Parking
minutes appeared to confirm this. Mr. Bowlus stated that was not true;
the Conunission's motion that passed unanimously, did not reflect neighbor-
hood opinion. He referred to Comnission minutes of Februaty 12, second
paragraph, Page 2, quoting "Mr. Bowlus stated he and Mrs. Muetzenberg had
talked to neighbors and, quite frankly, they are not enthusiastic about
raising the speed limit but understand the Police Departmentrs problem of
enforcement." Councilman Harrison asked Mr. Bowlus his reaction if the
stop sign were not instatled and the speed limit increased. Mr' Bowlus
felt the sign should be installed.
ID
Mayor Mangini referred to the letter from Assenbll.man Louis J. papan (March
A, f976) concerning radar use in speed limit enforcement, asking were notthe statenents in that letter and the matter before the Council related?
The City l,lanager pointed out that Assenblyman papan,s letter concernsalifficulties he would encounter in attempting to have legislation amendedto allow use of radar when a posted speed 1imit is below that establishedby engineering studies. Mayor Mangini informed Mr. Bowlus that the lettex
was sent to Assernbllrman Papan at the City Council's direction. Mr. Bow1usstated he \rras a\rrare of the Staters legislation.
Councilman Crosby stated it was his understand.ing, vrhen the subject wasfirst brought to the attention of the Council. that speed r^ras the primaryissue, there was no mention made of intersections. Now, the Council isbeing asked to authorize a stop si-gn. l,E. Borrlus explained there vras betterawareness on his part of the real problem after discussions with SergeantOrBrien and Mr. Moore and after having the opportunity of riding with themon a demonstration run. councirman crosby explained he is thoroughry familiarwith the problem of speed.ing drivers on Occidental Avenue. However, thereis an ordi"nance before the council increasing the speed limit to arlow theuse of radax. rt was his understand.ing this was what the residents wantediit wourd seem the stop sign should not be interjecteal at this time. councilnancrosby asked the city Attorney to comment. The latter exprained that rraffic,Safety and Parking Conunission considered the issue of the stop sign anddeclined to recorunend it. Mr. Bowlus exptained the residents came to theco,ncir this evening because of the connnission's failure to act on the stopsign.
Mayor Mangini recalled a request several years ago from George Anast, aresident of the same ar:ea, for a stop sign at a tocation that failed tosatisfy lr,arrants. The City Engineer reported that I,Ir. Anast vras concerned\'Jith the intersection of occi-dentar anal chapin Avenues, Mayor Mangini askedif Occidental,/Howaral intersection wi-1l qualify. The City Engineer statedthe Traffic Engineer's investigation revealed that technical \4rarrants werenot met.
The City Engineer advised that the Traffic Engineer has written theowner to reduce height of the hedge to three feet and that he (Cityis of the opinion, after discussions with the gentleman, that the TrEngineerrs request will be appealed.

The Chj-ef of Police, responding to Mayor Mangini, stated he Inet with theTraffic Director and the Tr:affic Engineer, and both confirmed the intersectiondid not meet criteria of the warrants.
Mr. Bow1us asked. does that nean the stop sign cannot be installe.l.? The
Cj-ty Attorney responded that the City Council can authorize the sign.
Mayor Mangini recognized Arnold Rodman, Chairman, Traffic, Safety andParking Corunission, requesting his conment. Mr. Rodman advised that the
Commission requested a survey of the Occidental/Howard intersection. anaccident survey plus a study of traffic throughout the intersection. Thesurvey revealed that none of the three warrants were met. I{I. Rodman stated"it l,ras not even close.,' The Traffic Engineerrs recommendation to theComnission was not to install a sign at the intersection because, ratherthan act as a deterrent, it night cause ad.d.itional accidents; rear-end co1li_sions were mentioned specifically.
Mrs. Muetzenberg addressed the councilr stating she initiated the peti.t-,ion
because of her concern as a mother and grandmother for the safety of children.
Day by day, traffic and speed seen to be increasing. Heritage park atRalston and occidentat \"ri11 create more foot traffic, children wilr want toplay there. Mrs. Muetzenlf,erg stated the residents want the stop sign and.,in her opinion, are entitled to it.
Councilman Anstrup askeal if the stop sign can be included in the presentOrdinance. The City Attorney explained there has not been an ordinanceintroducing the stop signi correct procedure requires a new ordinance tobe prepared by staff at Council direction.

paul Sterner, 1561 Ralston Avenue, referred to the number of young children
in the area, explaining it is for that reason the residents ask for the
stop sign. He mentioned the stop signs on Trousdale Drive, explaining he
had been told these did not meet warrants criteria; apparently, a precedent
has been set for stop signs that do not meet the warrants.
Councilman Harrison asked Mr. Sterner for his reaction to the Ordinance in
terms of support of increasing or not increasing the speed limit. Mr. Sterner
responded he would like to see the stop sign installed if the speed is to
be increased from 25 lo 30 MPH; further, he would like to tie the Ordinance
and the stop sign together.
Robert Craig, 157 Occidental Avenue, opposed any increase in the speed limit-
There were no further comments from the floor-
closed.
The hearing was declared
The Chair invited Council corunent.
councilman Amstrup discussed the letter from Assemblyman Papan' stating that
the problem facing the Council this evening has been created by a State law
that is ridiculous. The Council is attempting to regulate speed limits and
asked Mr. papanrs assistance in having existing legislation concerning use
of radar amended. In his letter, Mr. Papan stated that, after surveying
the legislature, he concluded that the suggested amendment would not be
supported. Councilman Amstrup read from the Assemblyman's letter "The
opposition appears to center around the unwillingness of the Legislature
to amend the law to deal with the individual problems of Burlingame when
it appears other avenues are open to the local- jurisdiction. That is to
say, you could simply use aII other means except radar within those areas
wnlre-you desire to reduce the speed limit below the specifications of the
engineering traffic survey." Councilman Amstrup remarked the Assemblyman
obviously missed the point that this situation is not localized in this City
but exists in many cities. As a conseguence of the legislation, the City
of Burtingame is required to increase speed limit in a residential area
from 25 to 30 MpH to implement radar enforcement petitioned by the residents'
Councilman Amstrup supported the stop sign, stating there have been 508
fewer accidents on Trousdale since the signs were installed-
Councilman Harrison, in endorsing the stop sign at Howard,/Occidental, men-
tioned he had some doubts about raising the speed limit. The people asked
for radar; it would seem that a change in the posted speed should emanate
from the people.
Councilman Crosby requested the Chief of Police to comment on the effective-
ness of a stop sign in controLling speed. The Chief stated that radar
enforcement will slow tfre speed more. With respect to the 30 MPH limit on
Occidental, that was determined as the speed at which traffic moves on the
street at the present time. If the Council approves the higher speed, the
radar unit will be on the street. He reported he did not take part in the
discussions on the stop sign, nor did he see the warrants. Potential for
accident always exists. on occidental Avenue, accident experience is not
high.
councilman crosby pointed out that radar can be used and speeders cited
once the street is posted at 3O MPH, and it was his understanding from the
Traffic Engineer,s survey that most of the people were travelling at
30 to 35 MPH. The Chief of Police explained that, in the absence of radar'
the only way an officer can stop a speeder is pursuit, which can be a
dangerous situation. Councilman Crosby stated he did not oppose the stop
sign, but neither did he believe it would be effective in controlling hazards
described bY the residents.
councilman Harrison asked how many radar guns does the city own? The chief
of Police responded "two. " Councilman Harrison asked how much radar enforcement

ORDINANCE NO. 1067 "Ordinance Increasin g the Prima facie Speed Limit On

Five To Thirty Miles Per Hour,' was given its second reading. On motion of
Councilman lfartin, second by Councilman Crosby, the Ordinance passed its
second reading and was unanimously ad.opteal on ro11 call. Council-nan Harrison
confirmed with the City Attorney that the Ordinance wiII be effective ona trial basis for six months.
!4r. Roy We1ch, 141 Costa Rica Avenue, asked about the stop sign, Councilran
Amstrup explained he asked for the Ortlinance to be presented at the nextmeeting. l4r. Welch stated he has lived in the area for a good many yearsiit would appear that not everyone is aware of the conditlons existing tirere;it j-s an orphan as far as traffic regulations. The streets carry a goodportion of the traffic from Hillsborough. Occidental is the best routeto Howard, Burlingane anal Chapin Avenues. !4r. welch asked for stop signsat every intersection, stating the time has corne to stop Crivers fron usingOccidental as a through-way.
Councilman Martin requested that all of the technical d.ata supporting in-starlation of a stop sign be furnished the counci-l with the draft ordinance.
I. PARK DEPARTMENT CORPORATION YARD IMPROVEI4ENTS
Bials for the above project, opened on wednesday, March 3I, L976, at 2:OO p.m.,Alternates I and II, are detailed in Bxhibits A and. B attached to the lastpage of these minutes.
councilran Anstrup, comnenting on staffrs recommendation, stated he did notrecall that the City Council had approved the building. The Director ofPubli-c works recarretl that the councir had requested Alternates at a study
meetj-ng.
councirman }larrison asked the Director of pubLic works to comment on r{rhatmight be involved if Alternate I were approveal this evening and the shopbuirding approved. at a later date. The Director stateal it would be necessaryto removed about one-quarEer of the asphalt to be laid if Alternate r proceeds.lihile cost will not be high, it could be an unnecessary expenditure if theCouncil knew it was going to approve the building later.
In response to a series of questions from Councilman Martin, the Director ofPubric works advised (r) asphalt paving v/itr be used if the concrete workis approved. (2) Park Department equipment, including a jeep, 3/4 pickup,
heawy crane and aerial lift will be parked on the surface, and (3) the lurnp
slrIn bid of $8,950 for the slab and foundation is for an area estimated atabout 90 x 25 feet, or 2,2OO square feet. The Directox eurphasiz ed this wasa very rough estimate. Councilman l{artin stated the foundation representsthe bulk of the cost in Arternate rr. The Director of plrclic works agreed,
can be antj,cipated cn Occidental Avenue, considering the number of streets
throughout the City posted for radar use. He pointed out there nay be anti-
cipation by the residents that radar units will be on the street continuously.
The Chief of Po1ice reported there wiII be a saturation poi-nt if the Ordinanceis aalopted; rad.ar is in use 15 to L8 hours a day; there witl be units in
the area and obvious for a tfu[e, which lsill have the effect of slowing thetraffic.

In a communication dated March 31, 1976, the Director. of public works andthe Park Director advised that the bids were prepared in two alternatesat the direction of the City Council, Alternate I being site improvenentsonry and Alternate rr being site improvements prus foundation and froor srabfor a proposed shop building - bualget item 20-113 ]nas 947,743 for the project.It was staff's recomnendation that the contract be awarded to the 1owestresponsible bidd.er, Asphalt paving Company, anal that Alternate II at a costof $36,616.50 be accepted. In a menorandum dated April 1, 1976, the City
Manager concurred in the recoNnendation.
7B
statinq if Alternate f were chosen now there would be a cost of about $1,200
for removing part of the asphalt area, bringing in additional fill and
building the structure from that point. Councilman Martin stated that
the Council has not authorized the building; for that reason, he would prefer
to accept Alternate I. Later, it may be necessary to consider the buitiling.
If the foundation is approved at this time, it will follow that there will
be a building. He recommended Alternate I in the hope that the building
will not go forward.
Councilman Amstrup concurred with Councilman Martin.

The formal appeal from the above applicant was filed with the City Council at
its meeting of March 1, Lg76, and scheduled for hearing this evening'
The City Council received the following material from the City Planner:
I. Report "Appeal of Planning Commission Denial of Special Permit to Allow

The city pranner initiated the discussion at the request of Mayor Mangini,
explaining the applicant wished to expand his business from 251 California
Drive into an aa-iacent vacant buildinf at 247. Thb zoning classification
is C-1. l,n L967, a business license was issued to l4r. Thorstenson for
,,foreign car and. marine service." The business has continued to this day'

District. The matter was placed before the Planning corunission with a request
by the applicant for a special Permit. The Planning conmission denied on
a unanimous vote.
The hearing was declared open to the floor.
Mx. Joseph Salem, employed at Thorstenson's, Inc., spoke for Mr' thorstenson'
I,1r. Salem confirmed the business has been operating at the california Drive
address since 1967 when !lr. Thorstenson was issued a permit for marine and
auto servicing. The readerboard shows on one side the type of auto services
offered and, on the opposite side, indi-cates sale of marine engines, whrch
indicates the building is being used for the two purposes permitted in 1967.
Mr. Salem stated that the pickup truck observed by the Planner does not belong
to the Thorstenson operation. The truck and trailer mentioned by the Planner
were moved at 5:00 p.m. to another location to be parked overnight. Mr'
Salen suggested there may have been some confusion by the Ptanningl Comml-sslon
as to the nature of the business that has exi-sted since 1967. l'1r. Thorsten-
sonts business has been partly marine service and partly foreign auto repair
from the time he located at 251 california Drive. The request to expand to
247 does not entail auto workt the only form of service in that building will
be moving an engine from a box on to a boat and some very minor installation '
Apparently, the Planning comnissionts denial was based on auto repair at 247'
If this was so' the Comnission's denial was improper. The expansion from 251
into 247 is primarily for the purpose of boat sales, not services. whatever
service performed will be secondary and minimal to the retail operation' Mr'
salem stated there will be no detrimental environmental impact on the area'
nor aesthetic detrjment. A recorunendation at the Ptanning commission hearing
by Commissioner Mink that the business be relocated s eems to be improper
inasmuch as 1,1r. Thorstenson is operating in the present location on a valid
permj-t. Mr. Sa1em stated that the uses that have developed on the street have
outgrown the c-I zoning classification. The applicant urges the city council
to direct staff to investigate the matter of rezoning from C-1 to C-2t petitions
the Council to approve Special Permit and to consider a temporary spot-rezoning
of the two buildings.
The following connents were heard from the audience.
J. Mccoy Johnson, resident of Millbrae, informed the Counci-I he spoke for a
few retired citizens h,ho have had the opportunity of dealing with Mr' Thor-
stenson, of goj-ng to a man in the area for estimates and receiving honest
answers to questions concerning auto and boat servicing. Mr. Johnson stated
Mr. Thorstenson has always treated him fairly.
councilman crosby asked I,1r. Johnson about the type of repair work. The latter
advised he owns a saab automobile and a boat. He ra'as having a problem with
the boat, took it to I4r. ?horstenson, who put it in his garage, checked it and
gave an honest opinion.
walter Weaver, IIOI Douglas Avenue, supPorted ML. .Tohnson's comments. He
advised he has been a mechanic on aircraft for 42 years and can recognize
a alishonest estimate for repair rl'ork. He has found lulI. Thorstenson to be
honest, straightforward, one of the best mechanics he has had the good fortune
to dea]. with.
Reuben White, san Mateo resident, owner of the building at 251 California
Drive, considered l"!r. Thorstenson an excellen+' tenant and asked that his
application be given every consideration.

BO
Council comment followed. Councilman Harrison, in acknor,rledging thefavorable remarks from the audience concerning I,1I. Thorstenson,s reputation,pointed out that the consideration before the council is an appricaiionfor a speciar permit for a use not permitted in the c-t District. rt wouldappear that the Council must decid.e, first, can the permit be approvedand, second, shal1 the Council explore the possibility of rezoning.
CounciLman Crosby referred to the planner's surunary, page 2t ,'euestions
by commi-ssioners, " specificauy the question "Do you do auto repair work?"Councihan Crosby, conmenting he did not quj-te understand the question,asked if auto repairs ar.e part of the operatj-on. Mr. Salem responded"yes," explaining that the Commission was attempting to establisfr tnatthat type of hrork took place as well as the marine service. Councilman
Crosby pointed out that automobile repairs were mentioned by the people
who spoke, and the read.er board. identifies the establishment as an autorepair facility. Councilman Crosby stated his primary concern is theuse of Hatch AIIey as a means of egress and exit for boat owners. Thisis a narrow roadway, He asked if the road is being used at the present
time to bring boats into the 25I building. Mr. Salem advised that theboats can be brought through the al1ey and into the builaling withoutdifficulty.
There hrere no further comments from the f1oor.
closed.The hearing was declared
Councilman Martin asked for. coment from the applicant on the statementin Mr.. Thorstenson t s memorandum of February 9. i.e., "duplication of very
expensive too1s, machinery, et cetera, would be an astronomical figure."
Mr. Salem explained this related to the possibility of being forced to
move to another location and continuing the same type of repair work.
Further., in response to Councilman l,lart j,n, I4r. Salem confirmed there is
smaIl machinery used at the 251 location.
There followed discussion relative to Planning Commissi-on concern with
traffic on Hatch A1ley generated by Thorstenson's operation and the volume
of auto repair. The Planner stated that the matter of auto repair appeared
to be the key question that tended to turn the Comnissionrs attention to
whether or not the expansion should be permitted.
Mayor Mangini stated that the com[ent of Commissioner Taylor recited in
the minutes raised. a question in his mind. Ile read from the Commission
minutes, 'rcommissioner Tyator stated he did not thj,nk the present. use is
a permitted use in C-1. He said that it is not only retail sa1es. The
applicatirn t .s beerl running an auto repair shop there since 1967, and the
introduction of the boats is additional. " Mayor Mangini stated he thought
ttE auto repairs were legitimate because of the prior permit. Apparently,
Councilman Martin asked the City planner to Corunent on the legality ofthe operation at 251 California Drive. The planner expressed the opinionthat the matter of legality is debatable, except he considered that theCity's previous business license can be respected. It woutd seem this
would be the time for the City to take a new look at a repair shop 1ocatedin a C-I District. It rrras the planner's opinion that the use does not
satisfy present zoning regulations. He was not prepared to make a
determination whether or not the use was legal. Councilman l,lartin stated
that Thors Thorstenson l,tras granted a business license to engage in foreigncar and marine service, that was a legal license in 1967. when he rrent
into busj-ness Ln L967, he was legal. Now, doubts have been raised as tothat legality. The City Planner confirmed he did have doubts. Councilman
Martin felt that the full tenor of the ptanner,s report seemed to oppose
the application. Anal the fuIl tenor of the ptanning Corunission minutes
seem to oppose something about the use because of questj-ons about the
operation at 251 California Drive. He stated that !4r. Thorstenson was
lega1 when he started business at 251. The City might have changed its
minal but Thorstenson's business has not changed since 1967. The City
Planner confirmed that the business has continued as it existed i.n L96'l ,
and it may be ctassified as a legal non-conforming use.
B1
the Commission denied the permit because of the auto servicing. In response
to Mayor lvlangini, Mr. Salem stated there are boats on display.
Mayor Mangini noted options available: Sustain Planning Conunission - there
is a rule, perhaps the rute is being broken; or direct a rezoning study
and grant a temporary permit.
Councilman Martin posed the question as to percentage that would be allowed
for display and for service assuming l4r. Thorstenson's application was
only for the premises aL 247 California Drive. The City Planner anil City
Attorney reported. that percentages are not recited in the code. The code
provides for "other uses si:nilar in Characterr " and "incidental accessory
uses. "
Councilman Martin moved to overrule the Planning conmission decision.
motion was seconded. by councihan crosby.
The
on the question, Councihan Anstrup referred to co[unents regarding Planning
Conunission thinking. The staternent was made that the Commission may have
acted. improperly. Councilman Amstrup stated that the Commission recognized
it was dealing with a non-conforming use and v{as aware of the city council's
concern h'ith abatement of such uses. It was his position that a ternporary
permit was not a good idea and suggested that the applicant wait for rezoning
to c-2 and submit his proposal \"rhen it can be jualged as a conforming use.
concerning the motion, councilman Harrison stated he would be willing to
encourage a study of the area by staff and Planning Corunission for the
possibility of changing zoning to C-2 and he would support a lfunitation
of six months on the permj-t.
Councilman Amstrup asked ho\,, can an applicant be given a temporary permit
for six months when that applicant intends to rent a buitding, make changes
in the buj-lding to suit his purposes, and then later be informed that the
city's alecision was not to allow him to operate.
I.4ayor Mangini asked if the applicant rr'ould be willing to accept the motion.
I4r. Salem stated the conditions were acceptable.
Councihan crosby stated his position that, if this were referred to the
Planning corunj-ssion to explore changing the zoning from C-l to C-2, the
commission would agree. This appeared to be the trend of Commissioner
discussion. If the conunission decided not to change to c-2, Councilman
crosby felt this would be rather strange. He stated he would have no
qualms about the Council's decision if he were Thorstensoni the Planning
comnission, in its minutes, stated the zoning shoul,d be changed to c-2.
In response to an inquiry frdn councilman Amstrup as to length of time
required for the Council to receive a recommendation from the Corunission,
the city Planner stated that the matter will be expetlited as much as
possible, since it is a directive from the city council. He named May 17
as a tentative date when the subj ect can be returned to the Council.
Councilman Amstrup asked I,1r. Thorstenson for his reaction. I"lI. Thorstenson
stated he was willing to proceed on the tenporary permit for six months.
The motion introduced by Councilman Martin and seconded by Councilman
Crosby to overrule Planning conmission and grant the specidl Permit to
Thor Thorstenson, Inc. to expand to 247 california Drive to a1low servicing
and installation of marine engines was amplifietl to include the condition
Councihan Martin stated he faj-Ied to understand the turmoil over a pro-
posal to service outboard motors in connection with retail sales of the same
product. He stated it seems the whole block could be rezoned to C-2 con-
sidering Thorstensonrs operation, two bars, Federal Auto Parts, CYCles
Unlimited anal the Arata used car sales Iot. The council has before it an
application from a successful businessmani there would appear to be no
logical reason to deny his request to expand the business.

The City Planner initiated the discussion at the Mayor's request, advisingthat the application was denied by the planning Connnission on a 4-2 vote.
The proponents wish to operate the beauty shop at the rear of an officebuilding in the M-r District. An area of 940 square feet wourd be convertedby adding a partition, installing four stations with provisions for twoadditional stations. euestions raised at the time of the comnission hearing
concerned suitability of that type of retail service in an M-l (Light Indus-trial) District; with people coming and going for service at the beauty sa1on,would it be in accord with other uses in the area; would. there be more carsusing the parking and would it be possible to police the area so that cus-
tomers would not park in the area of the office buirding irunediatery adjacentat 1575 Bayshore. The 1575 building received a special permit to operate atraining facility for beauty operators. At 1555 Bayshore, there are 24parking spaces, an office building at the front and. a vrarehouse at the rear.
Primary questions of the Planning Commission focused on compatibility of thistype of use, whether it would provide something not available in that areai
would other properties be adversely affected. if add.itional traffic were in-
troduced at the particular location.
Declaring the hearing open to the f1oor, Mayor Mangini recognized the appli-cant, Jerry Norcj-a, resident of San Bruno. In asking the City Council toreverse Planning Comnission decision, he stated that the City planner con-
sidered parking of utmost importance; because mention was made that there
may evenually be six stations, there was an incorrect assumption that there
would be six patrons and six employees in the shop at one tire. That wouldnot necessarily be so. !,ihen Mr. Vannucci appeared before the planning Comnis-sion to dlscuss the application, including parking, he informed the Commissionthat patrons r for the most part, will be airline personnel staying in nearbyhotels and. they would be transported to the shop by mini-bus.
There were no further conments from the floor. The hearing vras declared
closed.
Councilman Harrison referred to connents in planning Conmission minutes con-
cerning selective clientele and lack of interest on the part of the operator
in soliciting "street traffic" as such. Councilman Harrison asked t4r. Norcia
how he intended to preclude "off-street,' customersi also, six stations avail-
able do not preclude six patr.ons and six enployees being on the premises at
one tire. Mr. Norcia stated parking vrould be sufficient even if there r,rere
six stations and six employees.
Councilman Martin inquired about other beauty shops available i-n the vicinity.
The Planner responded three of the hotels offer this type of service. Council-
man Martin asked why this shop would be different from any other. I4r. Norcia
explained he planned on catering to airline personnel. councilman Martin
asked j-f Mr. Norcia would be willing to limit his clientele to airline people.
Mr. Norcj-a stated he would rather not because he was hoping every three
months or so to offer a free service to senior citizens.
B3
Mayor Mangini asked if Mr. Norcia r'r'ouId own the minibus ' He stated hotel
buses would be used. The buses are available to transport airline people
staying at the hotelsi if stewardesses wanted to be taken to the beauty
shop, the hotel bus would take them.
councilman Amstrup stated he found it ilifficult to accept that a hotel with
a beauty shop rrould allow its equipment to take customers to another beauty
shop. l,tr. Norcia explained there are contracts between airlines and hotels
wheieby airline personnel are lodged at certain hotels, and transportation
is provided to wherever these People wish to go. He stated, also, that
hotel beauty shops have more business than they can accomodate'
Councilman Harrison observed, rrith the introduction of free service for
senior citizens. which in turn could lead to their recorunendations to family
members, the operation becomes less exclusive than it appeared to be on
the surface.
Councjlnm l,h.Lin noted that the land is zoned M-I. The Planning Commission is
concerned about commercial areas and starting to think about rezoning '
Historically, this area was zoned M-I because it was felt that was the only
type of development that could be attracted. when other than industrial
started to develop, retail uses were permitted primarily to service businesses
that were there. He stated it disturbs him to think about rezonj-ng and broad-
ening commercial operations to other than t hat serve that area' Rezoning
could have the effect of taking business away from the three established
commercial districts. He asked if there would be sufficient business gener-
ated to justify rezoning and indicated reluctance to support i-t without
in-d.epth stutly.
councilman crosby recalled that some restaurants were permitted - primarily
serving lunch - because the area was isolatedi rezoning to conmercial was
never considered. IIe expressed slmpathy with I4I. Norcia, explaining he
clisliked stopping anyone from going into busi-ness but ditl not think this
was a suitable place for a conrnercial enterprise. fn recalling the history
of the corunercial uses that were permitted, he stated that the primary
motivation was to provide accessory services, forl'th6 people 'who worked
in the axea. councilman crosby stated, for that reason, he agreed with
councilman Martin and the concept of supporting the established comnercial
areas.
Councihan Anstrup's motion to uphold the decision of the Planning commission
j_n denying the special Permit was seconded by councilman crosby, unanimously
carried on roll.
RECONVENE: Following a recess at 10:15 p.m., the meeting was called to order
by Mayor Mangini at I0:20 P.m.

of the above property I ylr. Walterr Sjostrom, and his attorney Cyrus McMillan
with the result that an amortization schedule has been proposed for the
Council's consideration as a method of abating multiple dwelling use of this
R-I property. It is the remaining large illegal apartment use in that area.
The proposed amortization reflects a schedule similar to that used at 1510
Newlands Avenue. In fourteen years, the entire use of the property at 1516
Ralston would be down to one rentaf unit. Councilman Martin asked about the
units to the rear. The City Attorney stated they are in a separate buildingi
detached from the principal building. Councilman Martin recommended that
the plumbing be disconnected. when the units at the rear are vacant so they
cannot be returned to rental use.

RESOLUTIONS
1. FOI]NDATION INVESTIGATION (Police Station Site, Carolan Avenue)
At Councilman Martin's request, the City Attorney was directed to amend theAgreement by removing the last sentence of (c) page 2 from that paragraph
and making it a separate section (d) providing "Consultants agree that in theevent of any termination of this agreement, it will make its books and recordsrelative to the performance of this agreement available for inspection byCity, its agents, servants, employees or independent accountants for thespecific purpose of verifying the amount of compensation to be paid toConsultants. "
Councilman Amstrup stated. that the Council is having a special study meetingon wednesday night, April '1, on the subject of the police station. He asked.why is it necessary to go forvrard with this Agreement at this time.
Councilman Crosby stated that foundation investigation will be require,:l nomatter what final architectural plan is accepted.
Councilman Martin recommended that the consultants be authorized to proceedwith test borings; this information is always saleable with the property.
The City Attorney stated if the council will authorLze the Resolution, theAgreement will be amended and the consultants witl be advised to proceedwith borings.
FESOLIJTION No. -34-76 "Agreement I'or Foundation Investigation Harding-LawsonAssociates" was introduced by councilman Harrison, who moved adoption, secondby Councilman Crosby.

ORDINANCE
(Second reading) Amending Highland Avenue Between California Drive And Howard
Avenue As A One-Way Street."
Mayor Mangini declared the hearing open to the floor.
The Council heard comments from Harry S. Graham, member of the Traffic, Safety
and parking Commission, to the effect that atlowing Greyhound buses to
travel north on Highland Avenue against one-way southbound traffic will
create more hazards and problems in the area than exist presently.
There were no further comments from the floor. The hearing was declared
closed.
The Director of public Works, in response to Councilman Crosbyr expressed the
opinion, if the Ordinance before the Coqncil is adopted, it will be
,rl""=="ty to widen the curb return by the Greyhound Bus Depot to allow
the buses to turn into Highland Avenue without encroaching any further
than they do right now into the southbound lane, which is presently restricted
to southbound traffic. He stated that the Chief of Police and he have some
serious reservations about the Ordinance.
Both the Director of Public Works and the Chief of Police informed the
Council they were primarily concerned with signing to alert motorists of
what is intended for them to do and what not to do. The Director of Public
Works pointed out that a stranger in this City, following a Greyhound Bus
on California Drive, and across California Drive, could very easily follow
that bus when it makes the turn northbound into Highland Avenue. The bus would
be making a legal turn, the motorist, an i]|ega] turn. These are the problems
that must be faced if the Ordinance is adopted. The Director of Public
Works projected a map of the area of California Drive, Howard Avenue, Highland
Avenue on the =.r..rr, explaining the variety of traffic movements that take
place in the area: ,traffic out of Highland Avenue southbound, traffic
crossing Howard Avenue from Highland and, prohibited from entering Highland
northbound, attempting to make a left turn at California Drive' He mentioned
accident experience in this area.
councilman Harrison asked if the recommendation to make Highland Avenue one-
way souttrlcound to Howard Avenue came from Traffic, Safety and Parking Commis-
sion. The Director of public Works reported it was recomnended by the
George No1te Company in the traffic survey contracted for by the City'
The city Attorney informed the council that legislation approved by the
council made Highland Avenue southbound one way in the vicinity of the
Greyhound Bus Depot. The ordinance before the council is an amendment to
thal prior ordinance to provide for a bus lane on Highland Avenue north-
bound, against southbound traffic on that street'
There appeared to be a consensus among the city council to repeal the
Ordinance designating Highland Avenue one-way southbound between California
Drive and Howard. The city Attorney was requested to prePare legislation
for Council consideration.
