L from Railroad A.ve~ to Second; .K street from First' to Second; J Street 'from First to Second and So. Livermore Ave. from Railroad Ave. to Third.

Livermore Ave. from the Southern Pacific Railroad Co. for parking, the only problem being no access to First street except L St. and So.

The license fee would be raised and the dutiesaf the Poundmaster increased. The ordinance will also provide for other animals such as chickens, horses, etc. A person owning such will r pay a special permit fee which will provide for inspection. The animals may be kept within the City as long as at least three persons do not make complaints.

Ray Bianchi, 967 Palm Ave. Some of the points objected to in the ordinance were the Poundmaster being authorized to enter private property to check if a dog is registered or whether proper treatment and care is being given a dog; the City Attorney explained this provision can be carried out only through proper channels of the law; the requirement of dogs to be on leash and not running at large, many people do not have fenced in yards to keep their dogs in; the requirement of rabies shots before a license can be procurred, Dr. Baird of the Alameda County Health Department stated the requirement for rabies shots is a very good idea as her department is Often faced with the problem of whether or not to inoculate a child that has been bitten by a dog. The question as to why cats are not required to be licensed or inoculated for rabies was asked. Dr. Baird stated that cats do not present the problem that dogs do in respect to rabies. Councilman Callaghan suggested some minor changes he believed should be made in the ordinance. The amount for redeeming a licensed dog from the Pound should be $2.00 instead of $4.00 as for the un- licensed dog and all licenses are to be on a calendar year, annual licenses to become due in January.

MAR 2 8 1955 7 5 Discussion with High School Board Mr. E. J. Mulqueeney, Chairman of the High Schhol Board, n I ! I advised the Council that their board has a great problem, with the City growing as it is, they are faced with lack of room for expansion. They would like to use a portion of Vila Gulf for such expansion and are taking this opportunity to present and explain this problem to the Council so they may better understand their needs. Mr. Wattenburger presented a map of the Vila Gulf and High School area to show the tentative plans made by the Board. Along with a portion of Vila Gulf they plan to negotiate for a small piece of property on School street and a 7 acre vineyard tract on the south side of Vila Gulf. The portion of Vila Gulf tentatively agreed to be sold to the District by the City Housing Authority would go as far back as Rose Street, which street could be extended to provide access to the housing units; also Leahy Way could be opended into the Jensen Tract. Eighteen apartments plus the Administration Building would be lost by relinquishing a portion of land to the School District. Mr. Mulqueeney stated that possibly in negotiating for the Vila Gulf land the back portion of vineyard property the Board wishes to acquire could be traded for Vila Gulf" land to move the Administration Building and also provide for a play area. If the school does purchase the Vila Gulf land the buildings probably would not have to be taken down for at least a year. Mr. Wattenburger explained that surveys are made twice a year on the enrollment of the schools and each time the survey is taken the classes increase. It takes approximately two years from start to finish for a new building. The present school will reach its capacity in a very short time and something must be done\now to either expand the present site or look for a new site. A new site would have to be a minimum of thirty acres, 1200 students, and not less than 4 miles from the present sohool site. The minimum cost for a new plant would be approximately $2,475,000.00. To expand the present site to accomodate 1800 students plus 76 MAR 2 8. 1955 additional gymnasium, music room, shop and other necessary facilities would be a minimum cost of $970,000.00. This would,be a saving of over $1,000,000.00 and should Suffice for at least 10 years. After a 10 year period they will know in which direction the City is developing and the proper location for a new school. o The question was asked if the proposed expansion of the present school can be in two separate parcels. Mr. Wattenburger stated that it is more desirable to have one parcel although there are cases where the schools are separated by a street, or if there is heavy traffic an underpass or overpass is installed. The City Attorney explained the process of acquisition of Vila Gulf by the City Housing Authority. The School Board members thanked the Council for listening to their problems, and the matter will be discussed at such time as the project is released to the Housing Authority. Councilman Callaghan was seated during the discussion with the High &mool Board. The Mayor then declared a 10 m~nute recess. 0""."

Report of County Health Department (Tract 1565) A letter was received from the Alameda County Health Depart- ment regarding Mrs. Goebel's tentative subdivision map for Tract 1565. The subdivision is an expansion over the proposal of a year ago and inasmuch as the subdivision can be connected to the City sewer, the Health Department feels that the property should be sewered and no septic tanks permitted.

The matter will be discussed at a later meeting. Recommendation of the Planning Commission A letter was received from the Planning Commission.

Mr. Michell stated the school has approximately 2 acres near this multi-purpose building at the corner of the proposed Lee Avenue and Junction Avenue that ~ould be used as a park, with shade trees, etc. 1 94 APR 181955 Arrangements could be made for a 99 year lease and the City would not have to purchase the area. Since the facilities at the school can be used by the Recreation District there would be no need to go to the expense of duplicating such facilities. Mr. Michell also stated that the School District is contemplating purchasing 10.21 acres from Mr. Stifle for a~hool site. Several acres of this area will not be covered by buildings. He understands the City is interested in a park area next to the school which would be a duplication of facilities side by side. Mr. Stifle would be willing to donate to the School acreage to take care of the $250.00 per acre fee charge imposed by the City for subdividers for the number of acres the City would accept of said school site at the rate of $3000. per acre. The matter will be discussed again whereby some arrangement may be worked out. Form Committee Mayor Carter suggested that a committee be formed of representatives of the four political subdivisions to discuss the needs of the City regarding parks and when the City does have money in the Park and Recreation Facilities Fund it can be spent to the best advantage. The City Clerk was instructed to write to the Elementary and High School Districts, the Recreation Board and the Park I Commission to meet with the Council next Monday evening to discuss the forming of such a committee.

Sewer Problem - Tract 1565 Mr. Charles Ruegnitz of the Alameda County Health Department was present at the meeting to discuss the sewer problem concerning Tract 1565. Mr. Ruegnitz explained that a year ago Mrs. Inez Goebel presented a map with some six or eight lots and at that time septic tanks were approved because of the hardship and expense in connecting to the City sewer. Since that time the subdivision has doubled in size and the Health Department feels that every effort should be made to extend sewer facilities to this tract. It has been the policy of the Health Department not to approve septic tanks for subdivisions. Mr. George V. Walker, representing Mrs. Goebel, gave a summary of the problems Mrs. Goebel has had'since starting this subdivision two years ago. In accord with the Health Department's decision of a year ago she had to re-survey her tract to have at '" , .". '''lfIOl ..~. .'li!.' 2"".~.'.t."

Goebel is now ready to present her tract for final acceptance but this reverse of decision of the Health Department is holding things up. City Attorney Callaghan stated that a subdivider is interested in property adjacent to the city and he will have to put in a sewer lift to connect to the City sewer, of course, this sewer lift~nges on the annexation of ths property to the City. If this sewer lift is installed, a benefit district will be formed which will include Mrs. Goebel's property. City Attorney Callaghan asked Mr. Ruegnitz if the Health Department would stand by their original decision to grant septic tank permits for eight lots so that Mrs. Goebel may proceed with her subgivision and at such time as the sewer lift is installed the balance of the homes will be connected to the sanitary sewer. Mr. Ruegnitz informed the Council that the only way the Health Department could agree would be to have definite assurance that a sewer line is going to be installed and that the houses granted septic tanks will connect to the city sanitary sewer and abandon the septic tanks. People buying said homes should be in- formed of tills stipulation. The City Attorney will know by the end of this week whether or not the proposed subdivision adjacent to the City will be developed. It was agreed that the Health Department would be given a statement that Mrs. Goebel's property will be incorporated in the benefit district on the development of the tract and sewer lift installation, and the assurance that the owners of Lots 1) 2) 6) 7, 8, 15 and 16) which will be granted septic tank permits, will connect to the sanitary sewer.

Halker stated that he has been informed that Mrs. 132 MAY 2.J JSo5 Goebel will be obligated to pave both Mocho street and Holmes street. He and Mrs. Goebel were under the impression that the City would pave both Mocho street and Holmes street. Mr. Walker presented the preliminary map of Tract 1565, which was approved by tiE city, showing a notation by the engineer that the city is to pave ~ Mocho street. Mr. Walker stated that of her own volition, Mrs. Goebel had deeded a portion of her property to widen Holmes Street and recently she gave property to widen Mocha Street and it seems only fair that the City give something in return. Mr. Walker was informed that at the time Mrs. Goebel presented her tentative map, it was approved as to lot layout only. Mayor Carter stated that in the past other subdividers have given land for the widening of streets and have paved them and there was no reason to change the policy for this subdivision. The City Attorney recommended that the North 22~ feet of Mocho street and all of Holmes street be included in Mrs. Goebel's contract for grading and paving which also includes Mocho Court. The Council was in agreement with this recommendation. The City Attorney stated that all tract improvements including sewers, ~ water mains, grading, paving, sidewalks, crubs, gutters, street signs and fire hydrants should be included in this contract for the above named streets. Since the sewer line may not be laid for quite some time, it was suggested paving be deferred until the sewer line is installed. Mr. Walker stated the bond on sewers should be waived until such time as the sewer line is available. City Attorney Callaghan and Mr. Walker are to work out the necessary arrangements. Mrs. Goebel's tract will be presented for acceptance at a later meeting. The Mayor then declared a 7 minute recess.'

A discussion was held; the Council was in favor of annexation providing a satisfactory sanitary sewer system is installed. On motion of Councilman Callaghan, seconded by Councilman Burch, and by the following called vote the City will commence proceedings for the annexation of the Andrew J.

Request to Refer Proposed Downtown Rezoning Back to Planning Commission Dr. Paul E. Dolan, representing the majority of the property owners affected by the Merchant's Committee proposed rezoning, requested the Council to rescind their action of last Monday evening regarding said rezoning and refer it back to the Planning Commission. It would craate better feeling if the matter could be heard before the Planning Commission. Dr. Dolan was instructed to put this request in writing to present at the next meeting. Merchant's Committee Proposed Rezoning Mr. Al Caffodio stated the Merchant's Committee would like to meet with the residents of the area affected by the proposed rezoning as the Merchant's Committee feels that the opposition to this rezoning is due mainly to misinformation. Mr. Caffodio stated he would like to get a ruling from the City Attorney whether or not a person can rebuild a home accorllng to R-l restrictions or would it have to be a masonry or cement block construction. 166 :iu N ~"7 : \9S'S City Attorney Callaghan informed Mr. Caffodio that a residence could be rebuilt in the extended Zone C-l, but in the event that the fire zone limits are extended to cover the zone, then such rebuilding must be in masonry construction and comply with all fire zone regulations, and further that in a C-l Zone the setback lines provided for in an R-l Zone would be eliminated and any structnne could be erected up to the property line. o The City Attorney was requested to put this information in writing. Mr. Jack Baughman stated that as the commercial zone is extended, the f~re zone should also be extended. ( Planning Consultant, Master Plan Councilman Burch, also a member of the Planning Commission, stated that the City has no master plan and no Planning Consultant. Councilman Burch suggested that the City ask a Planning Consultant to come in at times he is needed and stated that he was in favor of allocating a sum of money for said planner. @ Councilman Burch stated he has also investigated the approximate cost of having a master plan of the City made; the price would be between $1500 and $5QQO depending on the type of plan wanted. Possibly the Merchant's Committee and Real Estate agents would help to set up a master plan. A preliminary plan of what should be done could be obtained within sixty days. A motion was made by Councilman Burch to employ a City Planning Consultant to prepare a master City plan and that no further rezoning or business expansion be allowed at this time. Mr. C. Carr stated he agreed with Councilman Burch; the CiW has grown and there is a great need for.a Master Plan or Planning Consultant. The City should be zoned in a scientific way. Mr. Carr stated he is sure that subdividers will go along and cooperate. Councilman Palmer agreed that there should be a Master Plan for Livermore but he does not feel that the City's growth should ~-.; ..~" ...,., be stymied. Mr. Baker, representing the Lincoln Lumber Co. stated he f"'\ . .,..... .:'~ .. _.11';';'; i,&tf;~,.filJ -ir.......,~~l~tt~;~_D:J;..j;\.:.,.,' r" ... .--._' - ~" ,.;;.<:~...t", JbJN 27 1955 1 ti 7 r approved of the proposed master plan and would like to contribute $1,000 toward the employ of a Planning Engineer to start a master plan for the City of Livermore. Mr. Baker also felt there should be no rezoning until a plan is put into operation. Mayor Carter thanked Mr. Baker for his offer but assured him that the City is able to finance its own plan. Mr. Stanford Green, Ch~ir~an of the M~rchant's Committee, stated the merchants in the City are not opposed to progress but they believe the City should not permit the building of shopping centers without a need. The merchants in Livermore have the most to gain or lose by any rezoning within the City. Mr. Green stated that if the Merchant's Committee proposed rezoning is to be referred back to the Planning Commission, the matter of the shopping centers should also be referred back to the Planning Commission. The Merchant's Committee is willing to forget their proposal until a Master Plan is made. Councilman Callaghan stated that in regard to Councilman Burch's motion, he could not see suspending all progress for sixty, one hundred or even ten days. The motion died for lack of a second. At this point Councilman Palmer offered an amendment to the motion of Councilman Burch that a City Planner be employed, but that all pending zoning matters not be suspended awaiting the determinations of a Planner, but Councilman Burch did not accept the amendment to his motion. A motion was made by Councilman Palmer, seconded by Council- man Callaghan, that the City obtain the services of a certified City Planner to work out a City Master Plan and also an opinion on the projected growth adjacent to the City boundaries: Ayes-- Councilmen Burch, Callaghan, Palmer and Mayor Carter; Noes--none; Absent--Councilmen Dear.

Mr. Mancini was to come up with a recommendation of a man for said position. Report from Boundary Commission-Rincon Annex #1 City Attorney Callaghan read a report from the Alameda County Boundary Commission regarding the annexation of Rincon Annex #1. The protest hearing before the Council was set for September 6th. ~ Rincon Avenue Drainage Mr. P. B. McWalters representing the developers of Tract 1557 appeared before the Council regarding the drainage on Rincon Avenue. At the time the tract was filed nothing was set up regarding drainage on Rincon Avenue. Since the developers have already given 15 feet for the widening of Rincon Avenue they should not have to cut Rincon Avenue to grade and repave it. M~. Mancini informed the Council that the policy of the County and most cities where an existing dedicated street is widened, the developer puts in curbs, gutters, sidewalks and utilities and the City assumes the responsibility of grading and paving the street. On motion of Councilman Palmer, seconded by Councilman Burch, and by the following called vote, the developers of Tract 1557 and Tract 1321 are to make curb, gutter and sidewalk improvements and '\ 18 8 J U L 18 1955 rough grade the 15 foot strip on the East side of Rincon Avenue adjacent to said tracts and the City is to complete the balance of grading and paving: Ayes--Councilmen Burch, Palmer a~d Mayor Carter; Noes--none; Absent--Counci1men Callaghan and Dear.

Clean Vacant Lots Fire Chief A1 Bonne stated that something should be done to clean vacant lots which are a fire hazard to adjoining property. Ordinance No. 219 should be enforced whereby property owners will be forced to clean their lots or pay to have them cleaned. 190 JUL181955 . Mr. Bonne suggested that his Clerk, Jack Baird, who is a Lieutenant on the Fire Department at U.C.R.L. and has some free time during the week, be hired to carry out provisiops regarding the c~eaning of lots under Ordinance No. 219 such as posLibg lots, notifying owners and keeping a record of all posting. In cases where there were no danger of liability the Fire Department could burn, otherwise a grader or tractor could clear the lot. Mr. Bonne suggested a fair salary for Mr. Baird would be the same rate as a street and Utility man and work under Mr. C. G. Clarke. " The Council was in full agreement. Mr. Clarke, Mr. Bonne and Mr. Baird were to work out arrangements.

A discussion was held on the drainage in the area. The Council deferred any action on the matter until the developer of the area provides a survey and report on the drainage from this area. Also discussed was the Planning Commission's recommendation to annex a tract of land lying West or Tract 912 and rrom the extension of 01ivina Avenue southerly to the railroad. There would be no problem as to drainage, it will drain to the Mocho creek and the area will be served by the Rincon Ave. sewer lift station. Councilman Burch stated that since our Sewage Disposal Plant is near to capacity now, the City should expand only to areas that have been zoned for potential residential growth and not to areas zoned otherwise. Mr. Mancini stated that this area was not intended to be included in the sewer benefit district. The present sewer lift was designed to take care of only approximately 600 residents, but possibly larger pumps could be installed. A discussion was held on the capacity of our present sewer farm facilities. Mr. Mancini stated that in his opinion the City cannot go into unlimited expansion unless additional sewer facilities are provided. The expansion proposed for the present sewer farm under the recent bond issue will only take care of present commitments. Action was deferred on this proposed annexation until a later meeting. - , Report on Hearing Before County Planning Comm. City Attorney Callaghan reported on the hearing before the County Planning Commission of the Lincoln Lumber Co. application for rezoning. The Planning Commission thought the area too small. After hearing protests to the application, the matter was continued to August 22nd, when they will have a report from the County Health Dept. regarding sanitary facilities and from the City regarding Mr. 192 JUL 18 1955 { Lincoln's proposed shopping ~enter within the City directly across from the area requested to be rezoned in the County.

Report on Pestana Tract Mr. Bryan.of Bryan & Murphy, engineers presented map of Mr. Pestana's proposed annexation on Vallecitos Road. He reported the pumping plant proposed to take sewage across the bridge will be similar to that of McGuire and Hester. He also stated that Pestana believed he should connect his line to the nearest sewer line in the City, which would be a 6 inch line on Holmes street. After some discussion it was decided that the City would put in an 8 inch line from the bridge to the present 8 inch line, approximately 600 feet, at College and 4th; Mr. Pestana's engineers to do the engineering work. .~ Recess On motion of Councilman Palmer, seconded by Councilman Burch, and the vote of the Council, the meeting recessed at 11:08 P.

Communications A statement from L. R. Thibault for services rendered in connection with the preparation and completion of the Livermore zoning map; the map is complete as of March 3rd; resignation from William R. Dear, Sr. and a letter from the Mayor appointing James Nordahl to fill the unexpired term of Mr. Dear. Drainage in Proposed Annexation Mr. F. Bryan of Bryan & Murphy presented a map showing the drainage in the proposed tract of Sunset Development east of the Lea1and Heights Tract 1556. The water from the proposed tract will drain into the Lea1and Heights tract, The water from the area on the north side of Livermore Blvd. can either be drained down the south side of Livermore Blvd. or go through an easement at the north- west boundary of the tract and drain into the adjoining tract. The best plan seems to be to have the drainage from the north go down Livermore Blvd. Mr. Bryan was instructed to re-submit a preliminary map showing the proper drainage design. County - 5 Acre Building Limitation Mr. C. Carr appeared before the Council regarding the County restriction stipulating that a person must have a 5 acre parcel of land in order to build. There has been much opposition to this regulation since it was put into effect. Some people want to build a home on just an acre or two and the only way this can be done is ~ 184 JUl'2 5 '1955 to apply to the County Planning Commission for a use permit. Mr. Carr recommended to the Council that they pass a resolution requesting the County Planning Commission to change their ordinance to permit building on less than five acres with the consent. of the Health Department. Mr. Miller, who is a member of the County Planning Commission, o was present at the meeting. He stated that the County Planning Commission has never denied a person with less than five acres the right to build, but possibly some adjustment could be made regard- ing the five acre limitation. Mr. Carr was instructed to write a letter to the Council stating his request. Public Hearing Merchant's Committee Application for Rezoning Mr. Nevin McCormick, chairman of the Merchant's Rezoning Committee presented the plan for expanding the commercial downtown area. Also speaking for the plan were Mr. John Whiting, Mr. A1 Caffodio and Mr. A1 Bonne. o The plan for rezoning was originally started because the Merchant's Committee felt the present downtown business area did not meet the rapid development of the valley. They felt they should rezone an area large enough to accomodate commercial development for some time to come and possibly attract large concerns to this area. This particular area bounded on the east b~ Ma~le :a. line drawn paral1e1'to andoiistant 1?0' West of street, the west bY~ street, the south by~t~i~trgatWRnBat~~ln~rtR i5g,d~s~f by 2nd street, was chosen as there have been only three new homes built in the last five years and the commercial zoning would dis- courage any further residential building in the area. I This proposed plan will tend to alleviate the parking problem by having properly zoned land for either City owned or private parking lots. B This proposed plan does not oppose shopping centers in the outlying areas but would like to see the downtown area become the center of the valley. Zoning the area to commercial will not affect the tax 'I\, -l~'\~;~'''' " ~'~.. '1 . . . . ~",. .;, , . . 4t '.' \ "".. ,;" 'It "'"'1' if. Jll~ 2 Si 195~ 1 D 5 ../. assessment but land values will increase. It will assure the downtown merchants that business is going to be developed in this location rather than the outlying areas. Mr. Farrigan of the County Assessor's Office stated that - I ' zoning in itself does not create value, the use of the land is what tax appraisals are based onj therefore if the proposed areas were zoned commercial there should be no change in tax assessment until the area is developed commercially. Downtown commercial development will bring additional revenue rrom sales taxes, business licenses and taxes which will benefit the taxpayers. Mr. Whiting mentioned the following points brought out dbring the circulation of a petition against the plan and gave answers to said objections: 1.. If property were rezoned, the City could take the property. If the City wishes property for public use they can condemn and take it regardless of zoning. 2. If property is rezoned, there would be limited parking. According to the present ordinance, parking of vehicles on streets at night is prohibited on all streets but the enforce- ment is at the discretion of the Police Department. 3. In the event a home burned down, it must be rebuilt with materials conforming to the fire zone. Extending the fire zone would be at the discretion of the City, although the fire zone probably would not be extended until the commercial building develops. 4. Objection to the possibility of using a home for a taxi stand, barber shOp or ther business. This would be an undue hardship to adjoining property owners. The Council could be requested to put limitations on these businesses; the parking problem could go along with this, and before a building permit or license is granted, off street parking must be provided. In most cases this would curb businesses in the home. This proposed plan for rezoning was presented in good faith and the committee believed it to be for the best interest of the City as it would be in effect a commercial Master Plan. - , Mr. R. L. Miller, retained by property owners in the area, presented their written objections in the form of a petition signed by 105 property owners and also spoke on their beha~f. A~so speaking against the proposed rezoning were Mr. Lloyd Gunderson, Dr. Paul E. Dolan and Mrs. A. Rothamel. The people opposing the rezoning did not question the sincerity "\ 196 JUL 25 1955 of those who presented the plan but one thing was lacking, they did not consult the residents in the area. From the standpoint of ~ood planning, it is desirable to provide for expansion of the business district but consideration should be given existing uses. Even though this area is an older section, some of Livermore's ~1 finest homes are in the district, also it contains three churches and the Public Library. Commercial zoning is needed but not at the expense of these residences. It will be a long time before this area is developed; the mere fact of rezoning alone does not bring commercial business. This rezoning will completely destroy the value of the residential property in the area and according to law if this property is zoned commercial, the property will be assessed at its fair market value. Unless some restrictions are set up, homes can be converted into barber shops, etc., and to prevent this the City would have to place some restriction on this type of use. If C-l zoning is put into effect, this area will be a first. class Livermore slum in five years. It was suggested that C-l zoning be increased gradually as business increases or the area be stretched out, from S street to Church street and from the present commercial zoning to the north side of Third streetj this would still take care of any expansion, even a large business. At this point Mr. Bissell's report concerning this proposed rezoning was read. The Merchant's Committee did not feel that a compromise of their plan should be made. It was agreed by the opponents and proponents that a Master Plan is greatly needed for the City of Livermore. The Merchant's Committee suggested that all proposals be set aside until a master plan is obtained. The City should go to work on a master plan immediately. Mr. Whiting, on behalf of the Merchant's Committee, requested that the Merchant's Committee application for rezoning be withdrawn. Mayor Carter thanked those attending the meeting for their views on the matter and stated that it will take time to prepare " .

Mancini and Mr. Don Bissell were present at the meeting presenting the following report on the recent survey made of our present sewer farm facilities: A preliminary study of the existing sanitary sewer treatment plant has been conducted by this, office. It is our opinion that the existing plant is, at the present time, seriously overloaded. We cannot recommend taking in any further annexations unless a program is immediately undertaken to modernize the existing plant or con- struct a new treatment plant at a new location. Three proposals for undertaking this program have been considered. 1. Modernize Existing Plant This proposal would retain the existing type of treatment. It would serve an equive1ent population of 15,000. Cost would be in the range of $175,000. to $200,000. A secondary type of treatment has not been considered under this proposal. The only existing equipment that would be salvaged would be the clarifier, which represents an investment of from $15,000. to $20,000. 2. Construction of New Treatment Plant to Serve Population of 15,000 Under this proposal a new plant would be constructed directly west of the existing plant at the westerly boundary of the airport property. This plant would give a secondary type of treatment, and would serve an equive1ent population of 15,000 and would cost approximately $435,000. Of this cost, $105,000. would be required '\ 2 U 4 AU G. 1 1955 for the construction of 7,500 feet of outfall sewer. The effluent of this plant would be discharged into a pipeline extending northerly along the westerly boundary of the airport prope~ty to a point of discharge in the Arroyo Los Positas. 3. Construction of New Treatment Plant to Serve Population of 25,000 Under this proposal a plant would be constructed under the same conditions as proposal No.2, but would serve an equivelent population of 25,000. The total cost would be $655,000; $105,000 of this being required as the cost of said 7,500 feet of outfall sewer. This represents an added expenditure of $220,000 for an increase ~n population over that of proposal No.2. Summary Proposals No.2 and No.3 wou1d.serve an added area to the west to the direct extension southerly of the west line of the airport property to the Arroyo Mocho. Proposal No. 1 would not serve any increase in area. Immediate investment costs could be cut by partial con- struction under each of these proposals. After some discussion it was decided the present plant should be improved to take care of present commitments and further annexation discouraged until a definite plan is under way to con- struct a new site or expand the present one. City Attorney Callaghan read from the contract with the Government which states that at. such time as repairs or recon- struction may be necessary, it shall and will pay the cost of such repairs or reconstruction on all facilities so to be installed by the Government and all repairs or reconstruction of the Imhoff tank owned by the City and the filter and/or sludge beds shall be borne in equal shares by the Government and the City. The Atomic Engrgy Commission was to be contacted regarding improving our present plant.

AUG' 11955 205 from Junction Avenue to Wood street. The only obstruction on this proposed street is an old house and a barn.

"\ 212 AUG' & 1955 " Public Hearing - Vineyard Shopping Center City Attorney Callaghan read a letter from the Planning Commission recommending to the Council the rezoning of a portion of the Callaghan Vineyard from Zone R-1 to Zone C-1 to accomodate a shopping center and a small parcel at the northwest corner of said property from Zone R-l to Zone C-2 to accomodate a service station. 't ~ Mr. James Fisk presented a petition with approximately 50 signatures of downtown Merchantscpposing the Vineyard Shopping Centen Mr. Lee Gillette presented a petition signed by sixteen property owners residing within a 300 foot radius of the shopping center, opposing the rezoning of said property. Also speaking against the rezoning were Al Caffodio, Bert Duke, S. J. Henne and Russell Bargmann. The downtown Merchants feel the City ts not large enough for a large shopping center; on the basis of the present population business will suffer. If future commercial development is needed, ., the downtown area is the place that should grow. Downtown Merchants have taken leases on buadings in good faith and another area should rJ g not encroach upon them. If there were more s~res centrally located it would bring in more business. The merchants are not opposed to competition in.a shopping center but it would be better for all concerned if business was centrally located, and not merely a duplication of types of business in a new area. At the present time many people shop out of town bacause they claim merchandise is not available at stores in Livermore, but ~f there is a duplication of stores, merchants will be forced to carpy less inventory than at present. Mr. B. Costello, representing the Four Companies, spoke favoring the rezoning of the area for the proposed shopping center. He stated the petition signed by the merchants opposing the rezoning could not be accepted, as according to law only those living within B a 300 foot radius have the legal rightm object. On the second petition, which was signed by sixteen property owners in the area, it would have to be determined whether or not said signatures represent ~ ~,.,,.,,'''''''~. R_ _._ ,,'., ,,_ , ': w~",~,~'" -~!t.It},,,. - . i.: ......h ellL ""'",ll.. AUG 8 1955 2 J 3 20% of the total property owners in the area. The majority of the property owners objecting are also downto~vn merchants. Shopping Centers are common in most cities and as Livermore is growing there is a need for additional commercial r-! development. The downtown area of the City will be faced with a parking problem before long and possibly will have to face a bond issue to finance parking area. The matter of the shopping center should not be considered from the standpoint of fifty people but from the standpoint of all. It is an opportunity for the City to grow and develop in an intelligent fashion in keeping with ~ master plan. The overall solution to the problem would be a master plan for the City but that will take time to develop. Consideration should be given the advice of the City Planner in his recent preliminary report. A shopping center would increase the assessed valuation of the City from 10 to 12%. What will most benefit all is the most important thing to be considered. Mr. Costello presented a petition signed by approximately thirty eight property owners in the area favoring the shopping center. City Attorney Callaghan explained that a 4/5 vote of the Council would be required to override the objections of 20% of the property owners in the area, otherwise a simple majority of the Council is all that is needed. Mayor Carter then called on the Council members for their thoughts on the matter. _ ~M~ f 80uncilmall Ca.llaghan til.ated that Hhcn tho w1an for rozoning ~B$ first prescntcd hc fc1t it Wati ~ bit prcmature. went on the matter was given careful study by the Planning Commission and at the joint hearing vefore the Planning Commission on both the r- Vineyard Shopping Center and the Lincoln Shopping Center there were no protests to the Vineyard Center as there was to Linco1ns. The downtown area has not grown along with the population of the City. The shopping center will bring in more taxes; the City has more to gain than to lose in approving this shopping center. '" 214 AUG 8 1955~ ~ Councilman Nordahl stated he is new on the Council and as he understands it the Planning Commission thoroughly studies the matter before making a recommendation to the Council, therefore his vote would have to be based on the recommendation of the Planning Commission. bJ ' ' Councilman Burch stated that from the beginning he was in . favor of annexing this vineyard area into the City and the City Planner, in his recent preliminary report, gave some evidence of going ahead with plans for the shopping center in this location. Councilman Burch stated he was in favor of both shopping centers, Vineyard and Lincoln. Councilman Palmer hadro comments. Mayor Carter stated that the Council as a body must base their decision on what is for the best interest of the City. The people proposing the shopping center are thinking of the future of Liverm~e, based on the growth of the City in the past years. The present downtown merchants. might increase their business by brightening up and improv1ng their stores to attract shoppers.

Councilman Nordahl stated he believed the proposed o development is not in the most desirable place; it is near the sewer farm and also there are no access roads other than down 01ivina Avenue.

Councilman Palmer suggested the City o-et s arted on a Master fh-R ~ 6}k~1 - . Plan as soon as possible. APhe first thino- hat should be done is to revamp the Planning Commission.

Request for Annexation - Stifle-Rincon Annex #2 Mr. Forrest K. Moyer, representing Mr. B. A. Stifle, presented the plan for the area south of Olivina Avenue and west of the present City boundary which Mr. Stifle wishes to develop and have annexed to the City. -- Mr. Moyer spoke on the rapid growth of Livermore in the past few years and of the City's great future. The area adjacent to the railroad was discussed as to the possibQity of zoning for commercial use. Mr. Moyer stated that in this case the areas adjacent have developed into residential properties, '"' 222 AOG 1 5 1955 and this flow should not be interrupted with industrial development. Also, with schools and recreat.ion parks already planned for this area, it is doubtful that industrial zoning would be desirable. The sewage problem was also discussed, and Mr. John Mancini reported that this land can be serviced by the City's sewer plant provided the area develops in an orderly manner and the City pro- ceeds with a plan for expansion of the sewage treatment plant. Also discussed was the need for access roads to t~is development, and ~he possibility of roads across the railroad which would require signals. These requirements will be discussed with th~ developer upon presentation of maps for subdivision. The area was approved for annexation and on motion of Council- man Palmer, seconded by Councilman Callaghan, and by the following called vote the City Attorney was instructed to submit a boundary map to the County Boundary Commission:' Ayes --Counc.i1men Burch, Callaghan, Nordahl, Palmer and Mayor Carter; Noes--none; Absent-- none.

The Mayor then' declared a 10 minute recess.

City Attorney Callaghan reported on the meeting in Los Angeles where he, Councilman Palmer and Mr. Kimberling met with representatives of the C.A.A. On point brought out by the meeting Has the fact that the airport was given to the City by General Services Administration to operate as an airport. All land usable or not is considered 290 NOv 1 4: 1955 airport property. Any sale or lease of land not used by the airport would have to be at a fair market value, as compared with adjacent land values, even if used by the city for its own purposes. All funds from such sale or lease must be used for the operation and to the C.A.A. in Los Angeles, who then submits it to Washington. fl.:.; LJ improvement of the airport. Any proposition must be presented \ Regarding the subdividers complaint against the hazardous flying of airplanes, the airport is being conducted in a safe manner and cannot be forced to close down or move even by leg~l ,action. It has been established that court action has upheld airports when homes have come in later. The discussed ways in which the landing pattern might be: re-arranged and possibly easements could be secured to protect approaches. City Attorney Callaghan stated he further discussed the matter with Mr. Bonard and the developer of the subdivision. He informed them that the city will make every effort to re-arrange o the flight pattern and alleviate the hazard over the houBes. Mr. Bonard and Mr. Flagg stated that at present they will proceed no further with the matter and see what solution can be worked out. Mr. Cecil Beebe of the P. G. & E. presented a sketch of the proposed plan for power poles down Rincon Avenue to serve the new development. Mr. Beebe was asked if the poles could be put in some place other than Rincon Avenue, possibly the rear of the lots. He will make a study of the area to see what can be done. It was suggested that the Council meet as a committee to study the entire problem of the airport. The City Attorney was to contact Mr. Davis of the Oakland Airport to meet with the Council regarding the airport. The meeting was tentatively set for November 28th. [J The Mayor then declared a 5 minute recess.

Council Repor~s Councilman Callaghan, Police Commissioner reported that a firm doing work in connection with the U. C. Radiation Laboratory wish to install an alarm system and connect to the police office. They would like a written agreement with the city for said install- ation. The Police Commissioner was instructed to see what can be worked out. Mayor Carter requested that the Safety Committee make a Second and study of the northeast corners ofjJ, K and L Streets with the possibUity of eliminating the first parking space on each corner. If someone is parked on the corner, it is difficult to make a right hand turn from Second Street on to either J, K or L without crossjng to white line.

The City Attorney was to write to each property owner stating the city's offer for the purchase of a portion of their property for the purpose of joining North and South P Streets. Hold Up Progress Payment The claim for the progress payment to McGuire & Hester was again presented. The chuck holes still had not been satisfactorily repaired, therefore payment was held up another week. Fire Chief Report Fire Chief Al Bonne spoke to the Council with reference to a recent letter to the Council regarding the need for fire alarm - I boxes in the Northern Addition. The cost for fire alarm box system in the City would cost approximately $50,000 and in his opinion fjre alarm boxes will soon be obsolete. 90% of all fire calls are turned in by phone and with Livermo~e soon having the dial system, there should be no trouble. " 292 NOV141955 At the present time the city is well protected by its Fire Department set-up, but if the city continues to annex property and grow there will be a need for a partially paid Fire Department in both the Southern Addition and Northern Addition. Mr. Bonne recommended that before any expenditure is made, a survey should be made by the National Board of Fire Underwriters. Storm Drainage Problem Roy N. Jensen asked about the storm drainage problem in the area beyond the cemeteries. He would like to know what the city engineer's plans are. His engineer could work along with Mr. Mancini to work something out. Mr. Jensen's engineer is to make a survey of the area and then meet with Mr. Mancini. City Attorney Callaghan was to contact Mr. Mancini regarding the matter.

Said pipe to be plugged and blocked off so that the system is non-functional until such time as the storm drain presently being constructed on South Livermore Avenue from E. Fourth Street to East Avenue can be extended to intercept rn:'.' ',~ ~ ;'said: sy~tem. . . - A discussion was held as to whether the pipe should be laid down McLeod Street or East Avenue to take care of the Shopping Center.

Livermore Ave. 3. 21 inch pipe on So. Livermore Ave. from Pacific Aven. to the west end of the tract. - ! Also discussed was the fact that the developer of this tract should not have to bear the burden of installing drain pipe of a size to accomodate 50 acres; possibly a benefit district can be set up whereby the developer may receive a portion of the cost back from future development or this developer should bear the entire cost of installing said pipe and future developers should help on the installation of pipe from the present drainage system to join the pipe at the west end of tract 1669. Further discussion was the possibility of adopting an ordinance to provide for an annexation fee for drainage facilities. Mr. Mancini was to make an estimate of the cost of drainage for said tract and work with the City Attorney on the possibility of forming a benefit district. - , Drainage for Jensen Tract Roy N. Jensen reported that his engineers have met with Mr. Mancini regarding the drainage for his proposed tract on the south side of East Avenue. The drainage from his tract will go down East Avenue in front of the school and join his present tract on the north side of East Avenue.

That January 9, 1955, ::it the hour of 8:00 P.M. of said day, in the Council Chambers in the City Hall in the City of Livermore, County of Alameda, California, is hereby fixed as the time and place 'when and where any person O\'inins real property within the uninhabited territory above described and proposed to be annexed to the City of Livermore and having any objection to the proposed annexation may appear before the Council of the City of Livermore and show cause why such uninhablted territory should not be so annexed to said City of Livermore. Such protest must be in writing, may be filed at any time before the hour set for hearing objections to the proposed annexation, and shall state the name or names of the owner or owners of property affected and the description and area of such property in general terms. 4. The City Clerk of the City of Livermore is hereby authorized and directed to cause a copy of this Resolution to be published at least twice, but not oftener than once a week, in The Livermore Herald, a newspaper of general circulation publlshed in said City of Livermore, the city to which it is proposed to annex the aforesaid territory, and also in The Pleasanton Times, a newspaper of general circulation published outside the City of Livermore, but in the County of Alameda, California~ the county in which is located the territory proposed to be annexed to the City of Livermo~e~ said publication to be complete at least twenty (20) days prior to the date set for hearing; And the said City Clerk is further authorized and directed to cause written notice of such proposed annexation to be mailed to each person to whom land v;ithin the territory proposed to be annexed is assessed in the last equalized county assessment roll available on the date the above said proceedings were initiated, at the addresses shown on said assessment roll or known to said Clerk, and to any person who has filed his name and address and the designation of the lands in which he has an interest, either legal or equitable, with said Clerk, such notice to be given not less than twenty (20) days before the first public hearing on the ,...... I "\ 304 DEe 5 1955 proposed annexation; And, in the event any land within the territory proposed to be annexed is owned by a county, the said City Clerk is directed to cause written notice of such proposed annexation to be mailed to the Board of Supervisors of such county, such notice to be given not less than twenty (20) days before the first public hearing on the proposed annexation; And, in the event there is, upon the land proposed to be annexed, a structural improvement owned, being acquired or leased by a county fire protection district, the said Cler.k is directed to cause written notice of such proposed annexation to be mailed to the governing body of suchdstrict, such notice to be sent not less than ten (10) days before the first public hearing upon such proposed annexation; And the said City Clerk is directed to cause written notice to be given to such other persons as may be legally entitled thereto, in the manner required by law. Adiscussion was held on whether or not Vineyard Annex #4 should be annexed at the same time as Vineyard Annex #3. There are more than twelve registered voters in #4 therefore an election will n.~.. ii have to be held. It was suggested the city have a policy regarding annexations- any area annexed must not leave a possible island that may block f~ture annexations. If Vineyard Annex #3 were annexed to the city and the annexation election on #4 failed it might block the area on the ~.' D north side of East Avenue from coming into the city. Mr. Roy N. Jensen stated that he already had 90% of the property owners in Vineyard #4 signed up to assume the bonded in- debtedness of the city~ therefore they should be favorable to annexation. Mr. Jensen said he could not possibly wait five months for the completion of the election for Vineyard #4. He has gone ahead with his plans and thought he had been assured by the Council that Vineyard Annex #3 would be annexed immediately upon completion of the annexation of Vineyard Annex #2. It was decided that before the public hearing January 9th, on Vineyard Annex #3, Mr. Jensen would have a petition circulated in the area of Vineyard #4 to secure signatures of a majority of the registered voters in favor of annexation. Said petition will enable the City to start proceedings toward the annexation election.

The Superintendent of streets was instructed to paint said crosswalks, eliminate said parking spaces and install "Stop for PedC;;::;~rian" sign. Airport Problem o Hr. Chas. Bonnard and Mr. f/!. Flagg were present at the meeting re3arding the airport problem. Mr. Bonnard stated that his client does not know what to do. They have difficulty in sell- lng homes because of the proximity of the airport. If they had a deal with the city to buy the airport property they could tell thcir purchasers that they are buying the property and the airport will be moved. City Attorney Callaghan explained that there can't be a lapse of time in the operation of the airport. The city will have to acquire a site acceptable to the C.A.A. before anything can be done. The city has been looking for a site but as yet v.Ti th no success. o The only immediate relief would be to re-align the landing strip. This may prove to be too expensive, some fill would have to be brought in, grading, rolling, and changing the field lights. Also there is the possibility of property owners objecting to the change in the landing strip. Mr, Flagg stated that he would be glad to help the city in searching for a new location for the airport and also help with the preliminary work. He was to get in touch with the City Attorney regarding the matter.
