by Irlr. Bludberg as f ollows:
Parcel 4-A , .ad j acent to the Library t
, a small parcel abutting Parcel 4-A (Steinbeck parcel);
Itre foregoing parcels were proposed inasmuch as eventually the Library
itself shall be expanded and the parcels used for Library purposesi
Blu berg stated that several alternatives have been proposed:
that the City either increase its contribution ($640,000.) or
advance the $300,000.00 or that the (3) Council authorize an increase
the assessments on the properties within the Parking District.
Parcel 3-A

3, Parcel 5-A , referred to as the "old Donnelly House" ov,med by A. C.criffiths on Donnelly Avenue. The parcel is fifty percent contiguousvrith the Steinbeck lot and fifty percent non-contiguous west of the
Steinbeck Lot. The elimination will not affect the patrons of the
Library utilizing the parking facilities on both sides of Donnelly
Avenuei
4. A walkway , ten feet in width, J.eading from Burlingame Avenue toparking facilities south of Burlingame Avenue i the parcel provides
an easy access to the facilities but the loss may be rnade up by
merchants permitting shoppers to enter and exit through their
respective business e stabl ishrnent s;

two unimproved parcels with a frontage of seventy feet on Lorton
Avenue; the federal Goverrunent proposes to acquire the parcel for the
expansion of the Post Officer the Postmaster has indicated that parking

and to the west shaI1 be provided.
Mr. Blumberg further stated that with the elimination of the Lots and
the contribution of cash in lieu of the property purchased by the City
for future fibrary expansion, the City would be requested only to
contribute a sum of approximately $80,000.00. In concluding his
report, Mr. Blurriberg advised that the Commission is of the opinion
that the recolunendation to delete the aforementioned lots would be
a satisfactory compromise.
!1r. Kenneth I. Jones. Attorney, representing the District, questioned
Mr. Jack van zandt, Engineer for the District, on parcels proposed
to be deleted and the effect, if any. on the balance of the parking
district progr.rm.
Iqr. Van zandt advised essentially, in each instance, that in his
opinion, there would be no "appreciable disturbance for sudt elimination"
(of parcels) and that the properties within the District "shal1 renain
benefitted. "
There being no response to the Chair's invitation
proponents and no communications on fi1e, those in
extended the privilege of the floor.
for comnents from
opposition were
!1r. Roger Duncan, 444 pri:nrose Road, merchant and property owner
within the District, questioned the elimination of parking lots on
the north side of Burlingame Avenue, stating that from h! observation,
the rnajority of parking has been provided the area south of Burlingame
Avenue and where, in his opinion, the largest assessments should be
borne.
Mr. ,Jones, Attorney for the District, referred Mr. Duncan to inquiries
directed to the Engineer for the District, wherein it was ascertained
that the proposed deletion would not be detrimental to the District
and that the overall benefits shall be preserved.
Mr. charles E. Gfoerer, 1210 Burlingame Avenue, representing a
merchants' conunittee, spoke on the concern of the merchants on the
proposed deletion of the Lorton Avenue parcel and referred to a
petition bearing the signatures of sixty-six merchants in the down
town area, protesting the "exclusion of the parcel of ProPerty
located next to the Howard Building from the Parking Plan."
4fJL
Mr. cfoerer stated that the lot is a "key" lot to the dovrntown parking;
merchants on Lorton Avenue are opposed a1so, based on the increased
traffic hazard that shall be created by the proposed plan to expand
the Post Office facilities and in additi.on, to the "unsightly" appear-
ance of a loading dock area generally associated with Post Office
construction.
Mr. cfoerer further protested the acquisj-tion of twelve lots on the
south side of Hor'/ard Avenue, stating that it will only provide "free
parking" for ernployees and consj-deration should be given first to
retaining "key" lots to provide shoppers in Burlingame with adequate
parking facilities.
CounciLman lrlartin explained that the lots were purchased as the appraisals
were received and their acquisition successfully negotiated. councilman
Martin pointed out the difficulty experienced, on occasion, to acquire
parking lot properties and that there hras no definite "plan to buy just
lots south of Iloward Avenue but to acquire lots within the core area
first. "
An inquiry from a merchant on Donnelly Avenue with respect to an
increase in assessments to provide the $3OO,OOO.0O deficit was answered
by Mr. Van zandt t^,ho estimated that the property assessments would
increase by approxirnately twenty-five percent.
Mrs. Emil we1z, operating a busj.ness

Petitions bearing the sigmatures of sixty-six merchants on Burlingame
Avenue, referred to by !1r. Gfoerer and from sixty-eight merchants on
the north side of Burlingame Avenue were acknowledged and communications
were read from Mr. James H. wilson, 1509 Burlingame Avenue, dated
ilanuary 2l , L964, requesting that a public hearing be scheduled on the
deletion of parking lots west of El Camino Real on Ralston Avenue and
Burlingame Avenue and from Jake W. Iliggins, 409 Primrose Road, protesting
the possibility of an increase in property assessments, expressing
criticism to the "evident under-estirnation of costs, etc.," and to the
parking pJ-an in general . A further petition bearing the signatures of

offering suggestions with respect to city parking lots in relation to
locations, was acknowledged.
Considerable discussion arose on the subject of financing the estimated
def iciency.
Couneilman ceorge quotd figures received from sales tax revenue, of
which fifty percent is appJ-ied to reduce the property tax and spoke
also on the low tax rate the City has continued to maintain and the
many services provided by the City from its tax return.
Referring to the deficienry in Parking District funds, councilman ceorge
stated that the original figures were merely estimates and if the city
were to contribute to the deficiency, it would be necessary to reduce
the fifty percent allocati.on to the ceneral Fund from sales tax receipts
and to raise the tax rate.
An inguiry from lilr. cfoerer

lr{r. cfoerer expressed objection to providing an employee parking
facility west of the EI Camino Real in what he termed ,'a sacrificein spaces for shoppers. "
Councilman llartin pointed out that the ,'main issue is so many cars
come into Burlingame it is necessary to find a place for them.,,
The intention was to use the peripheral lots for employee parking
and to provide a parking "rotation,, system for lots within the
central- area.
Itir. Robert Haight, Lorton Avenue merchant suggested that the
purpose lots be retained and the fringe area lots be eliminated.
I{r. Roger Duncan again urged the retention of parking lots, statingthat the ultimate received in sales tax receipts would result fromthe establishment of downtown parking spaces.

with Councilman Martin's sugtgestion that a fourth alternative be
considered, namely, that $l,O00.OO be contributed by each of three
hundred merchants drawing objections from Mr. Gfoerer and !1r. Duncan
vrho stated in essence, that the merchants were assuming a "fair
share" of expenditures.
Councilman Diederichsen stated that the "City itself needs expansion"
and pointing to the number of improvement s that should be initiated,
questioned the status of the "Capita1 Improvement" plan should the
City contribute to the Parking District fund deficienry.
A suggestion from !lrs. EniI welz that parking meters be installed in
the parking lots to increase revenues, $ras answered by ur. Blumberg
who advised that the subject is under considerati.on but a decision
on a policy has not been reached.
I{ayor Johnson questioned Council reaction to the scheduling of a
hearing on the possible deletion of lots on the west side of E1
Camino Real, with council generally indicating concurrence.
!1r. Jones explained the legal procedure necessary, suggesting that
Council first take action on the disposition of the present hearing.
Councilman Diederichsen moved that the hearing on the deletion of
Parcels 3A, 4A, 5A, 68, IE and a ten-foot walkway be closed,
seconded by Councilman George and following a brief discussion on
the question, unan i:nously carried.

Councilman ltlartin, in considerable detail, outlined the preliminary
and careful planning of the District, the consideration thereafter by
the members of the Parking Conunission to select only those lots to be
