A resubdivision snap prepared by the firm of Carl E. Kirker, engineers,

agai,.�.pst the property, will provide street frontage to El Predo Road
for Parcels C and D.

part of the County of San Mateo road system. The City Engineer stated
that if the resubdivision is approved it is possible the city may
decide to annex one half of the road and require the developer to
install street improvements to city specifications along his frontage.
