Oscar Thayer, architect, appeared with revised plans for an apartment house
proposed to be erected on Lot 122 Block 17, Burlingame Grove, - the original plans
having been submitted at the meeting October 26 and referred back to the architect. On
this resubmission it was unanimously agreed by the members of the Planning Commission
that. the plans as resubmitted are approved and the Chairman or Secretary was authorized
to so indicate on the plans.
City Engineer Longson drew attention to what appears to be an inadequate set-
back line along E1 Camino Real and referred to the new apartment house being built by
Mr. Dore North of Broadway which_is set back only 15' 6" from the front property line.
In the discussion which followed, it was brought out that any widening of E1 Camino
Real would probably require the moving of a number of buildings, - the expense for
which should be avoided if possible. It was suggested that the City Attorney draft a
letter to be sent to Mr. Dore informing him that the set -back of his building does not
conform with the permit obtained from the Planning Commission.
The Roberts Pest Conrol Company,located at Broadway and Commercial Way, pre-
sented plans for a 20' addition to their present building which were approved by the
Building Inspector and the Planning Commission. City Engineer Longson proposed that a
study be made of the extension of Carolan Avenue to Broadway.
City Engineer Longson presented a letter addressed to the Planning Commission
dated November 15, 1945 reading as follows:
"In order to expedite the studies for the preparation of the Master Plan it
will be necessary that some field surveying be done and certain maps be pre-
pared.
"In accordance with Section 3 of the 'Planning Act' the City Council has ap-
propriated an amount of $2,500 in the current budget for Planning Commission
expenses and it is requested that the Planning Commission authorize this of-
fice to make the necessary expenditures from this fund for the surveying,
drafting, blueprinting, etc. for this work."
After discussion it was moved, seconded and voted that,the City Engineer be authorized
to make the cessdary expenditures from the fund appropriated for The P1e�Comr ssicn by the
City Council n o draft and blueprint a set of zoning maps in convenient folio size which
may be better Kept up to date than the large map now used for that purpose.
7 Commissioner Shattuck made a motion seconded by Commissioner :riacomber as fol-
lows: That the Planning Commission send a communication to the City Council calling
J attention to the recommendation of the joint meeting of the Recreation Coiivaission and
the Planning Commission held October 26, 1945 at which it was agreed that Ray Park

suggesting deferment of appropriation for construction in that area. The following

Plans were submitted for a proposed warehouse building for the Golden
Brands Bottling Company to be located in the industrial area between the State Hidi-

building inspector pointed out that the plans did not contain sufficient details to
determine the type of structure, and City Engineer Longson said that before approving
plans for a new building in that location, it would be necessary to make provision
for sewer and water lines and the extension of Carolan Avenue. The plans were there-
fore referred to the City Engineer to communicate with the owners and confer with
them upon necessary arrangements.
