Mr. Hamilton, speaking in behalf of the Russell Realty Company, advised
that present plans call for establishing a parking area to accommodate
22 to 24 caxs. Of these spaces, the Realty Company would require ap-
proximately 15 and the reaming would be available for rental to neigh-
boring merchants. He stated further that the lot would be policed and
maintained and lanscaping along the El Caminofront,age would be com-
pleted to comply with City requirements.
The following citizens offered objections to the application:
J.P. Tahe�►, 1538 Btu�lingame Averiue; James H. Wilson, 1509 Burlingame
Avenue; Isabel C. Larsen, 1508 Howaxd Avenue; Edith G. Kimall, 1525
Burlingame Averiue; James Himmel, in behalf of the Burlingame Civic
Improvement Club.
Approval of the lot was ex�essed by Mr. B.J. Bullock, 1508 Burlingame
Avenue.
fn response to the Chair� the City Engineer confirmed that there is con-
siderable traffic at the intersection of Burlingame Avenue and the E1
Camino and the paxking lot might create some traffic congestion.
Considerable discussion was given to the problems of policing and
maintenance, creation of a rmi.sance to neighboring properties and
traffic congestion. Objections were presented to the establishment
of a commercial enterprise on the west s ide of E1 Camino Real, and it
was thereafter moved by Commissioner Henderson that the application
be denied, seconded by Commissioner Kindig:
