amount satisfactory to the City Engineer.
Councilman Simonds was present and informed the City Planning Commission that a
street problem has developed in Burlingame Manor, the solution to which is difficult to find,
and that the matter is having the attention of the City Engineer and the Council.

posed automotive building at the Northeast corner of Highland and Peninsula Avenues. After
discussion, the members of the Commission indicated that they would not look with approval upon
the rezoning of the lot for such a purpose and Mr. Mitchell stated that he doubted if the in-
quirer would file a formal petition.
Chairman Mitchell asked Councilman Simonds regarding the contemplated subdivision of
the Mills Estate, and in the discussion which ensued, Mr. Simonds stated that he understood
the plans have not yet finally been determined and there is nothing for the Planning Commission
to do on the subject now.
The Chairman asked City Engineer Fitch regarding the status of the Chapin Avenue
street widening project, and the City Engineer reported that the situation is that his office
is preparing plans for submission to the City Council and a project of this character unavoida-
bly requires considerable time to work out the details. He explained that these details in-
clude not only such features as the street section and profile, but also involve the location
of mains and sewers, the type of curbs, and possibility of installing a center dividing strip
which as yet has not the approval of the Fire Department, and the type of street lighting and
the possibility of underground wiring and so forth.
The Planning Commission drew attention to the highway area around the Broadway over-
pass and asked the City Engineer to ascertain what are the plans of the Highway Department
relative to the planting program.
