discussion inasmuch as all facts have previously been presented but
the order of business would be for the Commission to take action this

2. Bus shelter construction in Ray Park. Considerable discussion
arose as to whether a concurrence By the City with the Staters permit
would establish a precedent and whether the shelters may prove to be
a nuisance if not properly maintained. A letter dated July 15, 19530
was read from the Ray Park Improvement Club, assuring the Commission
that proper upkeep of the structures and surroundings would be guar-
anteed. Roy W. Seagraves, member of the Ray Park Improvement Club,
in attendance, also stated that the Ray Park as well as the Burlingame
Village Improvement Club will assume the responsibility and upkeep and
suggested that the Commission approve the permit with a revocable
clause. Following further discussion, Commissioner Diederichsen moved
that the Commission recommend the granting of a provisional and revoc-
able concurrence with the Staters permit, seconded by Commissioner
Rooth. The result of the vote on the motion was as follows:

SUGGESTIONS OR COMMENTS BY CITIZENS:
Roy W. Seagraves stated that in his opinion the proposed zoning ordin-
ance is no improvement to that in effect now inasmuch as it does not
serve as a guide to an applicant to determine whether his application
may, or may not be favorably considered. He urged that consideration
be given to what type of industry may be permitted under the proposed
"M-2" zone.
.James Himmel, Vice -President of the Burlingame Civic Welfare Lead e,
suggested that the vote of the people decide at the next election the
maximum zoning they would prefer for the City of Burlingame.
