2. FINAL PARCEL MAP L469 EL CAMINO REAL (continued)
A communication from the Director of Public Works, July 31, L974,
reported that the map, a subdivision of Lots 3,4 and portion of Lot 2,

approved by the Planning Commission at its meeting on July 22, L974,
227

acldendum to the communication, August 1, L974, the City Manager
informed the Council that the item was listed for consideration subject

The Director of Public lrlorks, upon recognition by Mayor Pro Tempore
Amstrup, stated he received the agreement shortly before 5:00 P.M.
todayr-and that the map was not available unless the applicant had it
with him. The Director of Public Works recommended a continuance of
two weeks to the next regular meeting for the reason that there had
not been adequate time for proper review of map and agreement.
i'{r. Robert E. Church represented the proponents. He asked that the
map not be delayed, pointing out that the application has been before
the city since becem6er , 1973, and further delay could be significant
to the project. He stated that the agreement is not complex ancl
that he intended to arrange for a certificate of deposit, the city to
be a co-owner, in an amount to cover costs of the public improvements.
The City Council felt that the request of the Director of Public Works
for a continuance was reasonable. Councilman Mangini's motion to
continue to Lhe meeting on August 19, 1974, was seconded by Council-
rnan Cusick and unanimously carried.

Hugir A. Banks of WEBcoR Builders, Inc., ]-B2B E1 Camino Real, Burlingame,
atfvised in a let,ter dated August I, L97 4, that an error in laying out
Lhe parking structure for the above development resulted in 4-5/8"
encroachment on city property for 27'4" along California Drive between

maintain this encroachrnent was requested. Sketches clarifying the
area of encroachment were filed.

Councilrnan Mangini objected to relinquishing

squarethe city.
Councilman Cusick asked about landscaping. Mr. Trexel stated that the
archj-tect has provided for some, but not around the parking structure.
In response to Councilman Cusick, the Director of Public Works reported
that city sidewalk at this frontage is 10 feet in width, and that he
had no objection to 2-l/2 feet to 5 feet of minor landscaping in front
of the wa1l, provided access to public ut,ilities in that area is not
disturbed.
Thomas W. Sine, member of the Planning Commission, and experienced in
the construction field, informed the Council that if a surveyor was
retained to lay out the 1ot, the developer or contractor obviously
raad.e a rnistake in the layout. He suggested removal of the walI and
proper replacement as the only intelligent solution.
I'Iayor Pro Tempore Amstrup and Councilman Mangini concurred vrj-th

major undertaking.

waIl of the parking structure on California Drive between Trousclale
and Murchison Drives and reconstruct on the private property was
seconded by Mayor Pro Tempore Amstrup.
