The subject om the proposed Kenmar Subdivision adjacent to the Burlingview Terrace, both of which are now under Council consideration for annexation to the City of Burlingame, was again reviewed by the Commission. City Engineer Marr advised that he, together with members of the Commission had viewed the property and that the Commissioners are a w-ire of the drainage problem. He stated that the proposed 25- home, 15 acre subdivision is located along the crest of a ridge and that the contractor would be required to provide for an adequate drainage system to take care of -the excessive storm water run-off so that it will not aggravate the present situation. Mr. James Waters, Engineer for the proposed subdivision stated that the old existing road bed .runs along the north edge and it is proposed to regrade that area and wipe out the existing road. Secretary Perkins advised that he had viewed the property and insofar as the subdivision is concerned, the tentative map should be approved and that the problem of drainage is up to the engineer of the property.
