Mancini, C,.E. recommen~ ing the acceptance of improvements on West Fourth street. Also a letter from Floyd King of K-C Construction Co. re- garding three sewer services, 1640, 1624 and 1660 W. Fourth st. There had been some question by the property owners that their 4ft sewer services to their residences had been broken or obstructed during the construction work on 4th street. For this reason a special meeting was held between property owners and the contractor to determine a course of action. On January 23, 1957 the cleanouts at the above mentioned homes were uncovered and a 3 3/4ft auger was inserted into the 4ft sewer services, as a result of the above mentioned meeting. The auger is construction in such a way that it will catch on any obstruction or broken length of pipe. The auger went through each of the three services without catching at any time. It was the opinion of both Mr. Winter, Public Works Supervisor, who also witnessed the test and Mr. King, the contractor, that none of the three sewer services are broken, or obstructed as a result of the improvement of Fourth Street. Mrs. R. Albertini appeared before the Council regarding her sewer service at 1660w. 4th Street. She and her husband are very much concerned. On December 7th their sewer line was obstructed. Mrs. Albertini called a plumber who told her that he felt the line was broken as he found two pieces of broken pipe and some rocks in cleaning it out. The line may appear to be clear now but they may still have trouble; dirt and gravel can be slowly shaken into the broken pipe and again obstruct it. Mrs. Albertini wished to know who would be responsible for replacing her sewer line if this paYment to the contractor is made. Mr. Chas. Conkel of 1624 W. 4th st, also present, stated his situation was the same as Mrs. Albentinis; he felt his sewer line is also broken. The matter was then discussed by the Council. It was suggested a reasonable period of time be set and if anyone of -- &~.... ,- "'..

Mrs. Albertini and Mr. Conkel both agreed this would be fair enough if a reasonable length of time were given. Mr. Conkel and Mrs. Albertini both agreed that if no trouble occurs within one year they will not hold the city responsible. The follovling resolution was read and introduced by Council- man Patterson, seconded by Councilman Owren, and by the following called vote was passed: Ayes--Councilmen McClaskey, Nordahl, Owren, Patterson and Mayor Burch; Noes--none; Absent--none. :Resolution 1/22-57 WHEREAS, JOHN A.

Public Heal"':lng on PLJ.nning Conunission Recomme~1d3.tion to He::.:;one Property Eno\,n as v.i.neyard_ Shopping Center' At this time the public hearing was held on the Planning Commission's recommendation to the City Council to rezone the property commonly known as the Vineyard Shopping Center, owned by Nojet Company from Zone C-l and C-2 to Zone R-l. Mayor Burch stated that since this matter has been discussed at several meetingsof the Planning Commission and everyone is familiar with the facts presented, the Council is interested in information not previously presented. Mr. Leuenberger, attorney for Nojet Company, stated that he had intended reviewing the entire story of what occurred at each , ,,"'; ...',.. .:... ___r:" ......~,1jIl...,..i!I'..i 1!If~1frr...'~ ~_...~,j,~1.,1i, .,.,....: Ii' ./.

The Council agreed they should present Nhatever facts they ',."ish. fvIr. Leuenberger, attor'ney for Nojet Company s ta ted he l.vished - to revie1,j' the entire story of i'ihat occurred durin,; the past 3i:~ months of hearings. Ordinance No. 321 zoned the Nojet property, containing ll~ acres, to Zone C-l and C-2; this ordinance became final in December 1955. This original re zoninG 1:."as made on the unanimous recommendation of the Planning Commission and thereafter the City Council unanimously accepted the recommendation of the Commission and Ordinance No. 321 vias passed and adopted. The Nojet Company reported they had relied on Ordinance No. 321 to their great financial detriment; and further stated, had spent large sums of money on plans for this proposed shopping center. lVIr. Leuenberger referred to the September issue of National Association of Home Builders which is devoted to the A B CIS of Shopping Centers, outlining the following steps that should be taken. 1. Select a site with the assistance of a qualified consultant; (Nojet Company had the services of Mr. Hal Dunleavy of Western Research, well qualified for this job.) 2. Market Analysis be made, vmich was done with the assistance of lVIr. Dunleavy. 3. Prepare Site Plan by a qualified planner; (This was done fur Nojet Company by IVIr. Paul Hammerberg.) 4. Developer contact interes'~ten3.nts. (MUCh time and effort was spent contacting various businesses. Grants and Lee Bros. Markets were ready to negotiate leases.) 5. Mone~l commitments. l\lr. Leuenberger stated as everyone knOllS there is a tight money market for development. In the early months of 1956, Nojet met with top financial institutions of the State and after many meetings, were finally ready to go ahead. They had preliminary engineering vTOrk done, v."hich Has very costly, all on the assumption that the ordinance was good. - Mr. Leuenberger then reviewed and commented on City Attorney R. M. Callaghan's opinion of July 20, 1956, addressed to the Planning Commission and on file with the secretary of the Commission. The Nojet Company has expended in excess of what the City of Livermore has spent on the entire development of the Master Plan. 234 1957 ~ MAR 4 ~ ~ :J> CC In June 1956 the Planning Commission received a communication from Harold F. Wise Associates advising the Planning Commission that since nothing has been done with the property in a years time, the developer should show cause vThy the land should not be zoned back to its original zoning. At the Planning Commission meeting of July 5th, Mr. D"' , , Leuenberger advised each member of the Planning Commission that Mr. Wise was in error. The property was not rezoned until December, 1955; Nojet Company could not possibly proceed with such rapidity as Mr. Wise suggested. After this meeting the Planning Commission never- theless continued. A public hearing was set for August 16th to re- consider the land use claSS~ation of this Vineyard Shopping Center property. The hearing was then held on August 16th, and at such time Mr. Lincoln's application for rezoning of property at the NW corner of Hillcrest and East Avenue was also on the agenda. At this meeting there was a completely new commission with the exception of Mr. Medeiros. Mr. Leuenberger stated that Nojet Company found themselves in a contested hearing; the Superintendent of Schools ~ spoke against the Lincoln site as it would place the children in jeoprody being in such close proximity to the East Aven~e Schooi. Mr. Leuenberger stated that it was apparent what the Commission was going to do, and suggested that Mr. Lincoln then withdrew his application for the reason it was receiving unfavorable consideration. Nojet then proceeded to show what they had accomplished to date and what they had not done. Mr. Leuenberger stated that the Planning Commission had made up their minds this property should be rezoned, and further stated the only people to speak were the dmmtmvn merchants, who argued with him and criticized Mr. Callaghm. After several continued meetings, notices were published ~ calling a hearing on the rezoning of this property back to resi- dential use. On December 6th Nojet Company appeared beforethe Commission with Mr. Dunleavy of Western Research and were in a position to answer all questions as to why they did not do certain things. Mr. Leuenberger stated there was silence, the Planning "~,' .~. if, "" l' . " ~. Ii ~~... , .~if "(,. 111 MJ~R -1 1,957 235 Commission had made up their minds. Nojet Company then contacted Mr. Callaghan regarding re- locating the proposed shopping center on a smaller area on the property owned by Nojet Company requesting a public session to dis- cuss the problem, but the Planning Commission said no study session. I I, After the recent meeting vJith the Council, Nojet Company understood that a joint session of the Council, Nojet Company and the Planning Commission VJould be held to discuss the problem. The Planning Commission would not meet vii th them and the next step was the calling of the public hearing iiJhich tioJaS set for this evening. Mr. Leuenberger stated if an advisory body such as the Planning Commission refuses to sit dovm and talk things out, then the court is the only answer. The Nojet Company VJould rather sit dovm and Hork things out with the Planning Commission. Possibly the size of the proposed shopping center could be reduced to 8 acres and leave the remainder of the property dormant at this time. Mr. Leuenberger stated that the property is now Zoned C-l and C-2. His client feels they should be allowed to proceed with a service station on the C-2 area. Mr. Leuenberger then read from the Planning Commission statement regarding their development being contrary to public safe ty, vIe Ifare, health and convenience and s ta ted they cannot find where this statement applies to Nojet Company's proposal. Mr. Leuen- bergeI' said it is not the function of the Planning Commission or the City Council to protect or invite monopoly; they should invite competi tion, the downtmJl1 merchants 1;111 thrive on competition. fJIr. Leuenberger then introduced Mr. Dunleavy of I'lestern Research, Nojet Company's l\1arket Analyst. Mr. Dunleavy stated he has appeared before the Planning r Commission vmere he presented a full report of the market analysis of the area. Mr. Dunleavy commented on the fact that the trading area has developed rapidly but not in shopping facilities. People are doing a great deal of shopping in larger communities a distance away. Mr. Dunleavy: felt this proposed Nojet Company site vJaS well located for residents of the community; it has access from many 238 MAR 4 ,1957 ~ ~ ~ ::t> ~ streets therefore would not cause any traffic congestion and he strongly recommended that his client be permitted to go ahead. Mr. Dunleavy also spoke on redevelopment. He stated that under the Urban Renewal Program, in order to be eligible for Federal funds the area proposed for redevelopment must contain residences in ~ a blighted area. Also there is a question how quickly this can be done. The City should allow retail facilities to develop now, so that people can use them now. Mr. Dunleavy also stated that so far as he could determine the point at issue was whether or not the downtown core area as outlined by the Planning Commission will re- develop and expand to provide the facilities and parking necessary for good shopping. If not, will the Planning Commission permit other shopping areas to develop. Mr. Dunlea~y pointed out that Redevelopment is not an easy task and the Planning Commission and Council should consider these points: 1. To thoroughly consider redevelopment of the downtown area. 2. Leave open the question of where and what facilities are established, competition will determine this. If redevelopment is clearly coming, parking downtown will develop and the proposed Nojet Company site will not develop, it H is a common sense decision. The Mayor then requested any protestants to speak. Mr. Bert Duke, Chairman of the Merchants Committee stated if the Council had any questions, the merchants committee \lJould answer them as honestly as they can. Al Caffodio, dOvmtovm merchant, commented that because the merchants have been active in supporting a good planning program and are accused of ,being against Nojet, they are opposed to all shopping centers. The merchants have advocated a central business core large enough to attract larg,e stores with plenty of walking traffic. They have never opposed shopping centers as such, shopping o centers should be properly placed according to good planning principles. Also speaking against the Nojet Shopping Center and asking various questions of Mr. Leuenberger and Mr. Dunleavy were Sig Renne, Rennels Mens and Boys Wear, Loyal Crownover, J. C. Penney ,..... ',,~~-~;,~~ -'--"i.IIi....". --- - .- ,..........1- ._...----.~....~~ ..~... .".' .;~~ MAR ,li~E;7 237 Co., Jim ~Iadlo\iol, Burtons Shoe store, and I\1r. Goldberg. The merchants felt that this shopping center as proposed is too close to the dowfr town area and liould only split the ~hopping facilities we no Vol have, and it v,ould also delay expandins e;rovolth of the downtm'Jn area. I The foJ.:J-oi:Jing citizens spoke regarding their views as being in favor of having the Vineyard Shopping Center located as proposed by Nojet Company: I,ll". R. P. Raskob 1484 W. First st. !vIr. Larry 11al ton 588 Germaine 'vJay Mrs. Bruce Johnston 1752 Spruce street The matter \'ias then discussed by the Counc:Ll. Councilman Patter~on stated that the only concern the Council should have is v!ha t is good planning for the City. Traffic flow, safety, and general welfare of the people should be considered, not competition. Councilman Patterson felt that the recom,'D.enda tion of th~ Planning Commission is valid but he feels that tbeir findings also pO~Lnt out there is no reason vlhy they should not 3ho1/1 cause why the Vineyard Shopping Center should not be able to develop a smaller center, possibly at another location on the site. Councilman Patterson felt the Council and the Planning Commission should make such a suggest~ion. Councilman IvIcClaskey asked if the Nojet Company had made the originaJ request for rezoning of this property. City Attorney C_.llaghan s ta ted the original application '\'.Jas made by Hr. R. H. Titheri~gton of Four Companies. Mr. Leuenberger stated th~ Four Compani~s was tal{en over by lTojet before the re:~oning became effective. I Councilman Nordahl stated he had read the report pf the Plannin~ Commission, has all the opinions and facts and has no questions at this time.

Mr. Haug stated that the communication rrom the Livermore r i Eagles, Aerie #609 has been withdrawn. Mr. Haug explained that the Eagles had informally met with the staff to determine whether or not they could ,obtain an exemption from the business license fee for their annual carnival. Mr. Haug explained the present business license ordinance contains no provision to exempt anyone from business license fees. Consideration should be given the adoption of a provision to be included in the business license ordinance that will permit exemptions from the fee schedule wherein the majority of the proceeds go for benevolent purposes. The Council then discussed this proposed amendment~ It could not be passed in time to benefit the Eagles but it will help - I other organizations and churches in the future. On motion of Councilman Nordahl, seconded by Councilman Owren, and the unanimous vote of the Council, the City Administrator and City Attorney were instructed to draft an amendment to the business license ordinance to be presented at the study session next Monday evening. Urge Annexation Policy and Adoption of an Annexation Fee Schedule Communication from the Planning Commission urging the City Council to give favorable consideration to the development of a policy which would permit the annexation of unincorporated territory, and also recommended that an annexation fee schedule be set up of such an amount that necessary City facilities could be extended to these areas with consideration to the area being annexed ~ I i as well as to the City of Livermore. Also a communication was read from Joseph A. Schenone, counsel for Lincoln Lumber Company, requesting annexation of real property situated immediately North of East Avenue and East of Hillcrest Avenue, approximately 44 acrea, as outlined on the accompaning map. 244 'MP,;( 18 1957 Mr. Haug stated that there are many other developers interested in annexation and he believes an annexation fee schedule can be worked out that will be agreeable and beneficial to both the City and those seeking annexation. Councilman Nordahl felt this discussion was out of order. The Council has not formulated a firm policy regarding annexation; this discussion should be referred to a study session. The Council was in agreement that this matter should be first on the study session agenda next Monday evening. Mr. Haug was to invite Mr. Schenone, Mr. Mehran and any other interested developers to attend this study session to hear the discussion. Public Hearing - Application of R & B Investment Co. Rezoning of Lot 7, por Lot 8, Plot C, Ladd Estate At this time the public hearing was held on the application of R & B Investment Co. for the rezoning of Lot 7, and a portion of Lot 8, Plot C, Estate of A. S. Ladd from Zone R-l to Zone R-2 to accommodate multiple dwellings. The City Clerk read the letter from the Planning Commission recommending the denial of this application for rezoning. Mayor Burch then asked any proponents to speak. Mr. Alvin Becker, a member of the company requesting rezoning" stated he wished to take exception from the Planning Commissionls re commenda tion. There was no meItion of the Planning Consul tant IS letter and his recommendation in favor of this rezoning. Mr. Becker also stated that an inquiry was circulated among residents in the area asking various questions. The biggest objection seemed to be the parking, play area for children, and no privacy, the second story would be looking into their yards. Seven out of fourteen of a possible twenty-one persons had no objections. Mr. Becker stated that they are providing adequate parking and a play area'but as to the objection to no privacy he has no defense except that the City will have to start building upward in the very near future. With the amount of land available, they can get a greater number of units with a second story. -,., _II; 411t<.'ii1llt.<ll':Jl!ipJ.',-..J. - !I.. : ~ 'f' 't . ~. ~ .l\ Cd,,!!!. ~ ~ ~ ::J> CC o D B .._':w=:F1It.~.~~3;~ ~ MflR 18 19'17 245 -- t , I ; I Councilman Nordahl asked if the Planning Consultant recommended this as proper zoning. The City Clerk re~d the letter from the Planning Consultant to the Planning Commission in which he stated the proposed zoning and planning recommendations made and to be made do not advise against multifamily development in single- family areas, provided that there is sufficient land available for the multifamily use. Mr. Walker recommended that this site be rezoned. The following persons spoke in opposition to this rezoning because of the location of their homes and the way they are built, all the living rooms facing the rear which would give them no privacy; the glare and noise and increased traffic: Mrs. H. K. Carstensen 376 No. I st. Mr. John Malloni 375 Junction Ave. Mr. Sidney Rowland 974 Chestnut st. On motion of Councilman Patterson, seconded by Councilman Owren, and the unanimous vote of the Council, the hearing was closed. The matter was then discussed by the Council. The Council felt that before a decision is made, they should have a clarir1cation from the Planning Commission and Planning Consultant to determine what is to be done in the future, also there are certain unanswered questions that should be clarified. It was agreed that a decision would be made at the meeting of April 1st. The matter will be discussed at the study session next Monday evening and someone from the Planning Commission will be requested to be present. - , Accept Recommendation of Planning Commission to Rezone Vineyard Shopping Center Property Mayor Burch stated that the matter of the Planning Commissionls recommendation to rezone that certain property commonly known as the Vineyard Shopping Center has been before the Council and the Council has held a hearing and the hearing has been closed. The 246 Mf~h 13 ,liJ57 ~ ~ ~ ::t> Cc Council has had time to review the matter and should be prepared to take action. Councilman McClaskey asked that the recommendation of the Planning Commission again be read. Councilman Patterson felt that the recommendation of the o Planning Commission should be accepted and at the same time a communication should be addressed to Nojet Company asking them to approach the Planning Commission with a plan to develop a neighbo~ hood type center at another location on their property. The present location is objectionable as it would tend to defeat the central core development. A motion was then made by Councilman Patterson, and seconded by Councilman McClaskey, to accept the recommendation of the Planning Commission. Councilman Patterson suggested the City Administrator be instructed to communicate with the Nojet Company inviting them to petition for establishment of a neighborhood type shopping center elsewhere on the 27 acres owned by Nojet Company. Councilman Owren felt there are questions of proper zoning and proper utilization of a particular piece of propenty. The Planning Commission feels that it is not compatable with the over- all zoning and the usage is not compatable with the proposed planning, at least at this time. Councilman Owren also concurred D with Mr. Patterson that if the Nojet Company wishes to present a neighborhood type facility elsewhere on their property, he will have an open mind. Councilman Nordahl stated he did not feel that these people were negligent; they did not take an unreasonable length of time in which to act. He does not believe the use as proposed a year ago is contrary to good planning. Safety is not a problem that canlt be overcome; it is not a health problem. Councilman Nordahl ~ believed the only legitimate reason for rezoning would be to set down control of the size which could be worked out in another way other than rezoning. "".'~.

He can see no reason why Livermore should not be on the same basis of Other Cities of this size. Mr. Patterson requested the. City Administrator to check with the League of California Cities regard~g Councilmen's salaries in other cities. New County Burning Policy Councilman Patterson also spoke regarding the October ban on burning and expressed the opinion that thought should be given on use of the city disposal plant by outside industry. Mr. Haug stated that he will present a fee schedule for the Council's consideration at the next meeting if the Council wishes to give this service. Mayor Burch reported on a joint meeting of the Alameda County and Contra Costa County Mayors group regarding waste and refuse disposal. A proposed survey of Alameda County and Contra Costa County was discussed by the Mayor's Conference as a result of the action taken by the Bay Area Air Pollution Control Board against open dump burning. This survey will cost from $35,000 to $85,000. to be paid D' on a pro rata basis by all the cities in Alameda and Contra Costa Counties. o tit Mayor Burch stated that Contra Costa has already made this study but they are interested in the findings of Alameda County. ..,""~ .

I , Rescind Resolution Prohibiting AnneRation The Council then generally discussed the matter of annexation and the problems that might occur as a result of any annexation program. The sanitary sewer plant may not stand further loading or it may be necessary to haul sludge on a stepped up basis for a time. The question of a sewer bond election failing to pass was also discussed. Mr. Panitz, a developer present at the meeting, stated that if there is a time element, the Council should know that it takes approximately eight months to a year to develop a piece of property; first annexation proceedings take from four to five months and engineering and planning take many months before the development is ready to begin. Councilman Nordahl asked what would happen if the Council opens annexation and takes in large parcels of land and then the bond is defeated. Mr. Haug stated that at present there are approximately 140 acres ready to be developed immediately. If the Council pro- ceeds with an annexation pOlicy, everyOne requesting annexation must be informed that there is the possibility that some of their property may be delayed in development.

Proposed Parking District - I i, _ I Communication from the Planning Commission recommending to the Council that the proposal of Mr. I. Schuman relative to a center proposed parking district for the shopping/planned for development in the block bounded by 2nd and 3rd, So. K and So. L Streets be accepted and a letter of intent to form the district be given as proposed, subject to the conditions set forth in Section V of Res. .Ii ff2-57 which was enclosed. The City Clerk also read a communication from downtown merchants requesting the City Council to proceed with the formation of a parking district to provide essential parking facilities. I I The Council discussed the findings and recommendations of the Planning Commission as outlined in their Resolution #2-57. From tentative studies and surveys made by the Planner, this pro- posed development fits into the general plan for the downtown area. The question was discussed as to why the parking district land should be taken off the tax rolls. Stores that now provide parking must pay taxes on their parking lots. Also if the Council does n take favorable action on this proposal, it might be creating a 272 APR 15 r957 ~ ~ ~ > ~ problem. Each person wishing to build, requiring parking, will corne to the city requesting the Council to condemn a lot for him. Some of the property owners have said they have not had bonafide offers for their property. Mr. Ernest Geisch, represent- ing Mr. Schuman, stated that the majority of the property owners on the north side of 3rd Street have refused to discuss the sale of B their land. Mr. Geisch explained that this~e thing has already been done in many cities. Georgaphica1 location determines the development. The Bank of America has set the pattern; parking is logically in the rear. For the convenience of shoppers, shopping centers have continuous shopping frontage, with parking in the rear. The Council then discussed the procedure that would be followed if a parking district were formed. First the district boundaries would have to be determined; then an appraiser would appraise the property at its present market value; a representative of the City would contact the property owners to make an offer for their property around this price. In most cases the property can be acquired by these negotiations without going to court. o Mr. R. L. Miller, attorney for one of the property owners, stated that the city is being asked to use the power of condemnation for a private developer. Private property can only be taken for public purposes. The Council should consider this very carefully as they could be facing a law Suit. The City Attorney stated that private property could be condemned for public parking and this is a public purpose and there- fore we could condemn these particular lots. After further discussion, the Council was of the opinion that parking is definitely needed in the downtown area but to justify this action there must be adequate development to benefit the City. It was pointed out to Mr. Geisch that even a~ter the City has been [] petitioned to form a parking district the Council could, after a public hearing, decide not to go ahead with the project.

One of the reasons the man who placed first did not qualify was because he was just over the age limit. Councilman Patterson felt that persons should not be allowed to take an examination for a position if they do not qualify. Also Councilman Patterson stated he felt it was poor administrative policy for the City Administrator to take his time in interviewing new employees. This should be the responsibility of the Department Head. The matter was discussed by the Council. Mr. Haug stated that according to the ordinance that sets up his position he recommends to the Council the hiring and firing of all employees. He felt he could not make a recommendation to the Council unless he interviews each new employee. If the Council does not wish him to interview new applicants, the ordinance should be changed.

Rescind Resolution ~o. 78--57, Re: Zone 7 A letter was received from the Chamber of COnuTIerce requesting ::;0 be placed on ~he agenda for discussion vri th ~he Council on:~he proposed Zone 7. A.':, the meeting of May 27thche Council passed Resolution #78-57 appropriating $750 to ~he Chamber of Commerce for ,~.he purpose of advertising and promoting t.he interesl~s of the City of Livermore in Zone 7. 'The Council fel:~ it was their duty to present the facts regarding Zone 7 to the citizens of Livermore. The question then was raised as to whether or not this $750 appropri- I I ation:.:;o the Chamber of Commerce was legal. City Attorney Callaghan and City Administrator Dean R. Haug:.hen checked with the League of California Cities. Mr. Callaghan then read his letter addressed to Mr. Haug giv- ing his legal opinion on the matter. In his opinion, the money so appropriated by Resolution J78-57, duly passed and adopted on May 27, 1951 for the purpose therein designated is, if spent for said purpose, an illegal expenditure of public money. Councilman Nordahl seated that it was not the intent of either the Councilor the Chamber of Commerce to act illegally. The following resolution was read and introduced by Councilman McClaskey, seconded by Councilman Owren, and by the following called i vote was passed: Ayes--Councilmen McClaskey, Nordahl, Owren, Patterson and Mayor Burch; Noes--none; Absent--none. Resolution J84-57 vffiEREAS, this Council did, on May 27, 1957, duly pass and adopt i'~s Resolution No. 78-57 appropriating money to the Livermore Chamber of Commerce for the purpose of promoting the interests of ~he Ci~y in Zone 7; and ~'lHEREAS, the City A~torney has advised 'che City Administrator in writing that such appropriation of public money, if spent for 316 JUN 3 1957 ~ ~ ~ :J:;> ~ the purpose mentioned in said Resolution No. 78-57, would be an illegal expenditure of public money; and WHEREAS, the money so appropr.iated has not been disbursed by the Ci :,:y and said Resolution No. 78-57 should be rescinded. NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that Resolution No. 78-57 heretofore duly passed and adopted on May 27, 1957 be, and it is hereby rescinded. Councilman Nordahl, commented he still believed this resolution of appropriation was not illegal, it did not state IIfor or against" D the proposed Zone 7, it was merely to present the facts to the voters. He feels it is urgent that people know of the need for water. It was suggested that the Council put out a brochure publishing all the facts of this proposed Zone 7. A resolution was then introduced by Councilman Nordahl to grant the Chamber of Commerce a supplemental budget request. The motion died for lack of a second. The Council was in agreement that something should be done to present the facts, both pros and cons. Mr. John Steif and Mr. Centoni from the Chamber of Commerce ~ were present at the meeting stating the Chamber is very much in favor of presenting the facts. The Chamber feels they have to very strongly urge the passage of this proposed zone but they are willing to present any negative facts also. Mr. Haug suggested that members of the Council meet with the Chamber of Commerce in an attempt to work out a cooperative plan that would meet the approval of both the Council and the Chamber. It was agreed that a meeting be held at noon on Tuesday, June 4th to discuss the problem and then a formal Council meeting be held at 5:00 P.M. Wednesday, June 5th to take any necessary action.

The property Oi~ers have been given a copy of the appraisal report to study before a decision is made. The meeting then recessed at 10:00 P.M. until later in the ~ evening. The meeting was called back to order at 11:30 P. M. Matters Initiated by Councilmen (Cont'd) Councilman McClaskey asked for a report from Chief Michelis on the juvenile problem in Livermore. Chief Michelis reported on the increase in juvenile cases, giving a comparison from July 1955 to July 1956 and July 1956 to the present time. It is difficult to get adequate men to do an adequate job. rrhe Police Department tries to have an officer at all dances, ball games, and all public gatherings, as this is where most juveni~ trouble arises. Chief Michelis stated that inadequate recreation might be part of the trouble in the rising cases of juvenile delin- ~ quency. Chief Michelis reported that in the next budget he is asking for three additional men. With the present manpower they cannot effectively enforce the curfew. Also they are requesting in the budget the creation of the position of "Investigatorll. This will enable a man to be relieved of all patrolman duties and work ex- elusively on investigation. Also further utilization of the Police Reserve will help. Councilman McClaskey then asked for a report of t~e unfortunate incident of a week ago at the Block "LII initiation a"t the High School. Chief Michelis introduced Officer Doc Blalock who had made an investi- gation of the incident. Officer Blalock reported the initiation was held on Monday evening, May 27th in the old gym and the Police Department knew nothing of the matter until the following afternoon, Tuesday, when they received complaints from parents of the boys that were initiated. o ..

JUN 3 1957 319 The school was then contacted to find out what had taken place and if criminal action was committed. An investigation was made, state- ments were taken from boys involved and a report written. Officer ,.-- I I I Blalock then reported on 1~hat took place as reported to him. Although there was a teacher present the whole affair seemed to have become complete'ly out of hand. 'lbey are nOvl waiting to see if any criminal action is going to be taken. The matter was then discussed by the Council. Councilman Owren quoted from a booklet issued to all High School students re- ferring to the high standards of the school. This hazing was in complete violation of the school code. Some action should be taken. After some discussion by the Council, it was felt that this matter should be handled by the High School Board. The Board should be given the opportunity to take the proper corrective action; at this point it is not a Council problem. If the Board does not take action and it is felt that some action should be taken, at that time Police Department facilities may be utilized. Mr. James Gaskill, father of one of the boys initiated, was present at the meeting and stated he proposes to appear before the School Board and state certain facts and ask the School Board to take certain action. Mr. E. J. Mulqueeney, President of the High School Board of Trustees, was present stating that the School Board is meeting rfuesday evening, June 4th, which is an open meeting, and requested a copy of the Police Department report of the incident and that Officer Blalock be present at this meeting. Mr. Mulqueeney commented on the word hazing being used. He does not believe this is the proper word. He would like a definition of the word hazing. Mayor Burch commended the Police Department and Officer Blalock on their fine work on this matter.

Haug reported on Police Officer Frank Salazar, '\Ilho has been on sick leave since April 28th. The Council has no set policy regarding accumulated sick leave, and at present it has been based on 12 days per year, not to exceed 30 days. To date Mr. Salazar has used 30 days sick leave and five days vacation. There seems to be no alternative but to put him on the inactive list without compensation unless the Council wishes to extend it. Councilman Patterson stated that he believes an employee should be allowed to accumulate sick leave indefinitely. This is the practice in many organisations. Councilman Nordahl stated he does not agree with this. The Council agreed that a policy should be established. In this particular case, the employee has been with the city five years and could be entitled to a total of 60 days sick leave. The Council is in favor of treating him in as equitable a manner as possible; where sick leave is not abused, the employee should be given every consideration. It was decided that no decision would be made this evening. Chief Michelis was to check with the doctor on the possibility of his returning to 1/lork and Mr. Haug 'dill present a staff recommendation at the meeting of the 24th. App:r.'ove Cla:1.m r,lr. Haug reported that Mrs. Jordon of 1042 Linden Street has presented a plumbing bill in the amount of :~16.25 to the city for payment. ~~s. Jordon's sewer was stopped up and she engaged a plumbing contrac tor. It developed that the city sewer l'laS clogged and Mr. Winter was then notified as the sewer cleaned by the city crew. Mrs. Jordon then received a bill for the contractor's services which she believes the city should pay. The Council vras in agreement that this bill should be paid. It 1dll be added to the claims. for payment. ! ,~~ ,;; ...-- -. ,l..:li< .;'I....f ~:....f(.;..'d'4" ;- Wi.]'. .,~l ~ ~ r.-:: > t::C D n,,' bi,J ~ ..HJN 1 7 :057 331 Pe~Dit to Sell Sm2ll Fi~e~rn3 Or. motion of Cou~cilma~ Pacterson, seconded by Councilman McClaskey, and the unanimous vote of the Council, a permit to sell small fireClrms at 167 So.

City Attorney Callaghan read the proposed resolution which would waive annexation fees on industrial lands owned by the Western Pacific Company. Councilman Nordahl stated he does not think that this is necessarily proper. Some months ago a list was prepared of land 352 j\Jl. l' i851 ~ ~ o > ce and buUdings owned by the City of L1.vermore - a valuation of $7OB per acrs. Any person coming into the city acquires these imprOve- ments automatically. The people coming into the community sho~Id I pay for. what taxpayers have paid tor in the past. He. has .tried- '., . to rationalize why these fees should be waived for one particular 0 group. . If a portion of these .fees were to provide fDr park and ' recreation, that part could be. waived as they can be provided for in other ways. But d;her portions are intended to provide for -new facilities, such as Fire Department sub-stations and expansion of the Police Department; these go on and on by means of annexation and increase in population. Because of this industrial 10cati~, the citU will have to put in a sub-station and have additional ~en on the Police force. These additional faci1it~es will cost more' than the city will receive in taxes from that area. Mr. Harold Emmerich, representing the Ne~ Industries Committee of the Chamber of Commerce, stated the New Industries Committe~nas made a survey of industrial acreage. They feel that industry should definitely pay their fair share, however, because the Western -- Pacific. has pioneered this ndustria1 area, the city should consider waiving. the annexation fee in this case. A study should be made by the Council on fees to be charged in the future. Councilman Patterson stated he was in favor of waiving ~ls fee. They are 1h the middle of the proposed industrial area, the D . "neck of a funnel" so to speak, and if they decide not to come into . . the city, they could block the development of the whole area. ~e Western Pacific Co. is doing other things, such as putting up a substantial amount of money to install trunk lines. Councilman-' Patterson felt that in waiving this fee, the city is not setting a precident; the city had., said they would negotiate with these people seeking annexation. Councilman Norda~ commented that it is said industry pays its own way, schools, reCreation districts and others will benefit ."-" but the city is different, they will receive taxes but must give many services in return. The minute these services become greater I I i I I i . ':-:.::..I:E:-.=1l.Jf,'~',.:..""-- :.;;;1'7 -.: "';':lI[i~,]~...':...''''''''''''T-= .::~. " ~_~ D JUt 1, 1957 353 than the amount we receive, other taxpayers will have to pay. Mayor Burch stated that both San Leandro and Hayward have waived all annexation fees. Hayward has much industry outside the city limits and they are now trying to acquire land to have industry buy into the city. Councilman McClaskey commented that Sacramento also does not have an annexation fee. Councilman McClaskey stated he would like to make it clear that he feels that this is not establishing a precident or a policy. The question was asked if the route and size of the sewer lines are established and also how much is the Western Pacific Co. going to contribute. Mr. Haug stated that engineering surveys are still being made and the route determination and size of lines will be determined later. As yet there is no program in effect; some- . thing will be worked out and then presented to the Council. Councilman Patterson stated he believed that industry is important to the community and it is better to have them in the city limits than on the outside. . Councilman Nordahl stated that it is not bad to have industry . outside the city. The taxpayers will be benefited because the school districts and recreation districts will be benefited. If " . this industrial land were in the city and the city provided only half of the services required, they still would not be paying their own way. The following resolution was introduced by Councilman . . McClaskey, seconded by Councilman Patterson, and by the following 1 . . called vote was passed: Ayes--Counci1men McClaskey, Patterson, and Mayor Burch; Noes--Counci1man Nordahl; Absent--Councilman Owren. Councilman Nordahl stated he would like to qualify his tlnotl vote; he would be willing to waive a portion but not all of the annexation fe~. Resolution #106-57 RESOLUTION'WAIVING ANNEXATION FEES ON CERTAIN INDUSTRIAL LANDS WHEREAS, the Western Pacific Railroad Company, acting by and through the Standard Realty and Development Company, has acquired certain land located approximately 2 miles east of the City of Livermore and adjacent to the northerly right-of-way line of the 354 Jut 1 ,'" \~?7 Southern Pacific Railroad Company, to be used exclusively for industrial purposes; and WHEREAS, said stan ard Realty and Development Company has requested that this Counc I make a waiver .of the annexation fees which would be ordinarily appli able to said lands upon annexation under the annexation fee policy heretofore adopted by this Council and now in full force and eff' ct; and WHEREAS, this Counilhae given consideration to ~s annex- ation f~e poliey and the enefits to accrue to the City of Livermore and its inhabitants by th development of an industrial area on the site now owned by the Sta dard Realty and Development Company, and has determined that it w u1d be to the best interest of the City of Livermore and its inha itants that a waiver of the annexation fees, as now established W this Council, as to said indusDrial site should be made.

Payroll and Claims Sixty-one payroll claims and twenty-four claims amounting to a total of $17, 444.29, audited by the City Administrator were presented for acceptance and payment. One item questioned was No. 1051 in the amount of $800.00 to the Livermore Police Reserve. Col. Robert Craver, in charge of the Reserves, was present at the meeting to answer any questions the Council might have. Col Craver was asked how this money is to be used. Col. Craver replied that this money represents an advanced quarterly . payment to the Reserves which would not ordinarily be due until . September, but which they have requested in order to get under way with some sort of project which as yet has not been determined. . This money is not ear-marked for salaries but will probably be used for some civic organization or some civic project that they will take care of within their organization. The reserve by-laws direct that they take a civic project relating to law enforcement, such as . a boys patrol, safety program, etc. Also these funds could be used for the purchase of equipment and training films, for the improve- ment and expansion of the reserve. After much discussion the Council still felt that before this payment is authorized they should know what specific program it will be used for. - I I Mr. Ernie Schwertscharfl sergeant in the Reserves, stated that they are hampered by not having any funds to do with. They have considered the possibility of organizing a blood bank in the Livermore-Pleasanton area and have contacted hospitals. Also they wish to start organizing school patrolsl furnishing belts, badges and rain coats, and possibly a drill team. Also they would like to organize a baseball team to compete in the Little League. 366 Jllli '1'~ ;t10C;1' ~ ~ o :J> ec Councilman Patterson asked who supervises what the money is spent for and Mr. Schwertscharf replied it must have the approval of the whold unit as well as the approval of the Police Chief on what they intend to do. Mr. Haug stated that apparently there is confusion and mis- D . understanding on this whole matter. The $3200 allocated in the budget to the Police Reserve is based upon 23 to 25 members in attendance, in much the same way as the Fire Department. This money . is not designated as salaries to each person, but is for services . rendered and is paid 1n one lump sum to the Reserve to be distributed . or used as they see fit. Mr. Haug suggested that this item be - . deleted from the claims and that he work with the Police Chief to present some firm program to the Council. Chief Michelis stated he would like to come up with a recommemdation. The Council agreed that this item of $800.00 should be deleted from the claims at this time until something is worked out. Councilman Nordahl commented on the payment of $200 to the Eastbay Chapter, National Safety Council. It was his underatanding that the Council was to get information on what benefits the City B received from this organization. Mayor Burch stated the matter was discussed at a budget session and it was approved, to be paid after July lst. . Councilman Nordahl still felt it was reasonable to request this group to furnish specific information on what benefits the city receives. Mr. Haug stated he will hold up this warrant until the Counctl receives further information and is instructed to release the check. Mayor Burch will contact the National Safety Council regard- ing ~urther information. On motion of Councilman Patterson, seconded by Councilman D...:.

Proposed Parking study The City Clerk read a letter from Randall J. Walker, Planning Consultant, outlining the work that should be done for thi~ parking " , 8 90APr.$ ': 1Q51 '.. . ..... ~ ~ :J> 0= study and the cost for said study. Also presented was a proposed planning services agreement for the performance of said service. Mayor Burch reported that the City is moving along as far as urban renewal is concerned. He has been in contact with some of the downtown property owners; they seem very anxious to get ~ together to discuss what they can do with their property. A mee~ ing will be called very soon of property owners from the flag pole to L street. A parking district is very necessary along with t1'lispl?ogram. Mr. Walker has outlined this parking program as to what will be done under this parking survey, it is now up to the Council what action should be taken. Councilman Nordahl commented that this has just been received this evening. It was his understanding that a great deal of this work would be done under the Master Plan; this would just be a lot of duplication. Mr. Walker, who was present at thecmeeting, stated that when they work on the general plan, the overall area is considered rather than specific sections. The development of the downtown area has changed considerably and should be brought up to date. Mr. Walker commented that the traffic study made under the general plan was of traffic entering and leaving the city and not a precise study on every street in the downtown area which is what is needed. Mr. Walker stated that once the city adopts the general plan the next step will be to do a precise plan of the downtown area. By the time the general plan and the precise plan are completed the parking district plan will fall in order. Councilman 'Nordahl inquired if they want a detailed plan of the Business District before going into the parking plan. Mr. Walker replied that research can be done, data compiled while the precise ~lan is being adopted. Mr. Haug stated this parking study would include cost to the land owners and information on financing. f]....

They will examine all the best ways of paying for the district., Mr. Walker commented that they may even come up with a recommendation r- that a parking, district is not needed at this time, but on further development, more parking will be needed. Lots for a district would be selected on a priority basis. , Mayor Burch stated that what money we invest now would be a part of something permanent. . Councilman Patterson asked if this is typical of Master Plan development. Are we going to have to go into more detailed studies , on each phase. Mr. Walker stated that this is very apt to occur on other phases as well as the parking plan. Mr. Bert Duke, local merchant, stated the Planning Commission had reviewed the parking problem and felt that more information was needed on the best procedure to take and a consultant was neceesary. - ! . As far as the merchants are concerned, they are willing to assist in any capacity they can, and would like the Council to take some action totlight. Councilman Patterson asked if the city would bear the cost or would the district. Mr. Haug replied that either way may be used. In some cities where a business license ordinance is in effect, the city pays for the cost of a parking district. Councilman Patterson stated he does not wish to be criticized for using general fund monies for a specific group. Mr. Haug stated that this district will provide benefit to all people as well as the merchants, although fees, such as consultant and attorney's fees, 'etc. and all costs of setting up a district can be charged to the district. r A question was asked regarding the proposed parking program for the 2nd street development proposed by Mr. Giesch. Mr. Haug stated that the city will not spend any money toward his parking program. The Council was in agreement that this parking study is needed. This study can be justified as it provides for the general safety and welfare of the people. 392 AUG$ 1957 .... ~ ~ :J> t::C The Council also felt this proposed parking study should be referred. to the Planning Commission for their comment and recom- mendation., It can be presented at their meeting of August 8th and the Council can possibly act on Monday evening, August 12th if the Planning Commission gives their recommendation. Designate ~hamber of Commerce to Handle Campaign for Sewer Bond Issue Mr. Jack Howard, Chairman of the Chamber of Commerce Sewer o Committee stated he has a report, opinion and recommendation to make. Mr. Howard reported on the results of an election held within the Chamber of Commerce on whether the Chamber would support the bond issue. 98 ballots were returned; 93 "yes" votes, 4 "no" votes "' and ore not qualified. His opinion was that the Council should indicate who is responsible for the campaign for the bond issue. Councilman Nordahl stated he thought it was understood the Chamber would take the lead. Mr. Howard stated they looked for instruction from the Council. W., t1 It was suggested that the Chamber of Commerce Sewer Committee be designated as the body responsible for the campaign for the bond issue, augmented by others to help in the campaign. On motion of Councilman Patterson, seconded by Councilman McClaskey, and by the following called vote, the Chamber of Commerce was designated as the organization to educate the public to the facts involved relative to the Sewer Bond issue, as such with the , understanding that the City of Livermore can in no way finance this activity, and the Chamber of Commerce has the responsibility for I augmenting their committee as they wish: Ayes--Councilmen McClaskey, Nordahl, Patterson and Mayor Burch; Noes--none; Absent--Councilman Owren. ~...." , . ~ 'I'.

Mayor Burch read a letter from the Sandia Corporation making application for use of ~he City garbage dump in the very near future. They.will be moving into the first of their new buildings ~oon on East Avenue across from the UCRL. When all buildings are completed and tully staffed, they anticipate from six to ten yards of trash per da~, mostly paper.

Manner 1h which design firm will be chosen and how fee is paid. Several firms have already been interviewed and Mr. ManCini - , I I had been asked to prepare a questionaire to be mailed out to various cities regarding informationcn their sewage treatment installation.

Of the $350.00 per acre annexation fee, a -portion is 1t> r ~ -parks. Protest Flying of Model Airplanes Mayor Burch presented a petition protesting the flying of model airplanes at the Recreation Ball Park, signed by residents living in the immediate area. The airport and rodeo grounds were suggested as possible locations where these planes might be flown. It was decided to have the City Clerk phone Mr. Shelly in- forming him of this petition and requesting that he or a represent- ative from the District meet with the Council to discuss the l] tj problem and try to work out a satisfactory solution. Discussion on Flag Pole & W. End 1st street Intersection The flag pole intersection and the intersection of W. First street was again discussed by the Council. The state will take the initiative on the intersection of South Livermore Avenue and West First street, but the intersection at the end of W. First Street will be the city's problem. Mr. Mancini was instructed to prepare a tentative plan for this W. First street intersection and a description of the area to be abandoned. Proposed Repairs to Justice Court Offices and Court Room o The Council discussed the renovation of the court room and office upstairs. This would include painting, new shades, lights and possibly air conditioning.

G. & E. to Increase Power of street Lights Mr. Winter was asked about the changing of street lights in the City from 2500 lumens to 4000 lumens. Mr. Winter replied he had checked with the P. G. & E. regarding this and they had no record of a request being made and also they were not certain at that time if there would be a charge for changing to these brighter lights. The City Clerk was requested to check to see if a letter of request had been sent to the P. G. & E. regarding the changing of lights from 2500 to 4000 lumens, if not, and there is no additional charge other than on the increased power for this changeover, the City Clerk was to make such a request. Farm Land at Airport Mr. Fullerton stated that several people are interested in the airport farming land. They would like to get on the land now to work it. It was suggested that informal bids be called for. Discussion on Fence at Vallecitos Road and Ninth st. The Council discussed the traffic hazard caused by the fence along the Vallecitos Road bordering the Sunset Tract 1637. Coming out Ninth street the view of the highway is blocked by this fence. Chief Michelis suggested this fence be cut down at lease 250 to 350 feet back and also a double line be painted on the road. It was decided to have Chief Michelis check with the state regarding this and come back to the Council with a recommendation. - I I i I Request Fly Survey The City Clerk was instructed to request the District Health Officer of the Alameda County Health Department to make a fly survey in the City of Livermore. Purchase Desk Jack Hale stated the police Department is in need of a desk for their department; this is included in their budget. Permission 434 SEP; '3'1957 o ~ C":! t:'J:' c:: to purchase this desk was granted. Request to Pave Parking Area Next to Fire House to Be Used as Basketball Court. Councilman Patterson stated the Optimist Club would like to , ., pave the parking area next to the Fire House and use it in the evenings for a basketball court. If this area were paved, all city employees could park ~heir,cars during the day, thus providing employees parking for the new office~ at the.Bank ot America building. D Check Drainage Problem in Front of New Bank of America Building - Mr. Winter reported that on 2nd street, between I and J, the construction of curb and gutter in front of the new Bank of America building will create a problem. If constructed as planned, the area in front of the bank will be lower, thereby leaving approxi- mately six inches of water standing 1h the gutter. Mr. Mancini was instructed to check this matter.

Public Hearing - Nojet Application for Shopping Center At thmt~e a public hearing was held on the application of Nojet Company to rezone property on the NE corner of South Livermore and Pacific Avenues from Zone R-l to Zones C-l and C-2 to accomodate the erection of a service station ahd shopping center. Mayor Burch asked for those who wished to speak in favor of the shopping center. Mr. Fred Leuenberger spoke o~ behalf of the Nojet Co. stating it is not his intension to stress public morality. He only requests that the Council consider the merits of the application. ~ Nojet Co. has requested to zone seven acres for a shopping center and one acre +or a service station. This p~oposed area is a desirable neig~borhood location. The Planner-had recommended the site be limited to a size of 6 acres so as to permit other areas to have shopping center facilities, but the Planning Commission recommended a 4 acre site. In discussions with the Planning Commission, the Commission felt the size of the center should be reduced so as not to conflict with the downtown area. Mr. Leuenberger stated that the center will offer neighborhood facilities which should not be-in conflict with a downtown facility. All findings indicate that the size of shopping centers vary. FOr the Nojet Co. to present an application for a four acre facility would be impractical. A center is geared to a super market; a six or eight acre center will accom- . modate a super market that will be in competition with large markets such as Safeway, Purity and PI markets. If a four acre site were granted a smaller market would locate that would not be in . . ." ........ "'.' ..'.~ "'<i"'''''''.L... l4.1.'<> 1,.J" ,iili ;.,....,' .....

Mr. Leuenberger then presented a map to each of the Council- men showing uses of the land area for the proposed eight acres; and - the proposed stores that may be built in each unit. Mr. Leuenberger stated that his company believes that this seven acres for the shepping center is a logical site that can best serve the needs of "the peeple in the area. Mayor Burch then asked for those who wished to speak in opposition to the proposed shopping center. Mr. Harold F. Wise spoke on behalf of the Merchants' Committee of the Chamber of Commerce and stated he does not undertake the situation lightly by any means. He commented that everyone must be aware that he seyered connections with Harold F. Wise Associates, which is now called Pacific Planning and Research, in June,of this year, and stated he enjoyed working with the City up until that time; he is not aware of any actions taken by the planning firm since _ that time. Mr. Wise stated he had been called upon by the Merchar.t s Committee of the Chamber of Commerce and it seems important to in- dicate that the City of Livermore today is very definitely at the cross roads in terms of development, particularly as relates' to the commercial area. A study that was provided to the Planning,Commis- sion indicated that there is now being used 32.42 acres for commercial property and there is zoned 129.87 commercial acres. Something must be wrong if within 90 acres there is not an 8 acre site-to provide for this type facility. From studies made, a good deal of zoning in the past was in accord with the general plan and some that was in the wrong place. The bulk of the- downtown area is not being properly used. Mr. Wise stated that this pro- posed facility is too close to the downtown area and there was an error made in the recommendat!on of his former associates in saying that the trading area between the proposed Nojet center and the I downtown area can b~"counted for this proposed center. Mr. Wise then commented on the proposed plan of the Nojet Co. as outlined on the map submitted. TO support this new facility 438 SEP 1 0 1957 would take about 1/3 of a~l retail sales in the City. An estimate of future development shows the central business district,will require most of the land between the railroad and 4th street; this puts the proposed,facility between 1500 and 2000 feet from the downtown areas which is too close for the kinds of facilities proposed which are in direct competition with existing facilities. Mr. Wise then read from and commented Qn Resolution No. 73-57, a policy statement adopted by the City Council to guide in the future development of the,City. "For Shopping Areas: Central Business District 1. TO serve as the major commercial center for the Livermore area. To be directly accessible. from but not cut through by major traffic ways. To be compact in areas with adequate off street parking and landscaping and loading facilities. To occupy an area based on the needs of the future population in accordance with findings on purchasing power and the ratio of sales to commercial areas." '- 2. 3. 4. Mr. Wise stated there has been two recommendations made to the Council by the ,merchants and their committees; th~ proposed parking study and that the City investigate and act favorable on redevelopment in the City of Livermore. Mr. Wise spoke on San Leandro's redevelopment program on 250 acres of the central business district. Th~s program will mean changing of street, patterns, elimination of old b~ildings, etc. , Mr. Wise believes ~his application before the Council is premature; now is the time to make a total plan to redevelop the downtown area. The property 9wners and merchants should get to- gether, to work together to provide the right facilities for the downtown area. Mr. Leuenberger stated h~ wisped to take very serious and strenuous objections to Mr. Wise appearing at this hearing; he believes that it is ethically improper. Mr. Wise was the Planning Consultant for the City and received a fee for these services until just recently" the Planning Consultant's letter-head still bears his name. Also he commented that while Mr. Wise worked f!,r the G!ty of Livermore and an error ~as made, he should have come to the City with it and not bring it out at this time. '.. .. " ;. ,.Wi.

SFP'10 1957 439 r i I, Councilman Patterson questioned Mr. Wise on his statement that the eventual goal is 3-1 parking. He has heard the complaint that in the downtown area this is almost prohibitive. Mr. Geisch, developer of the proposed Second Street development stated he feels they cannot provide 3-1 parking. Mr. Wise commented that if the City is to approach the job of providing an adequate amount of parking for properly located shopping sites, they should think in terms of regrouping, as in the case of San Leandro. Not all of the land would be redeveloped at once, it would be over a period of five or ten years. In assembling ,....- , this land under th~ redevelopment process the land is purchased under the Redevelopment Agency. streets would be abandoned, then the land is put on the market. on terms of economic re-use value. Mr. Wise then discussed with the Council how redevelopment is financed. He does not think that, short of redevelopment, it is possible to achieve 3-1 parking. Councilman McClaskey stated that he is confused on the attitude of the Planning Commission. Their resolution of October 4, 1957 established a policy that the Commission shall not consider further commercial zoning on South Livermore Avenue which extends south of the center line of W~ Third street as it intersects with So. Livermore Avenue. Commissioner Kuenning was present at the meeting and stated that this resolution may not have been worded properly, it meant any further extensi9n of the downtown area which is somewhat different from a neighborhood shopping center. ~ Councilman--McClaskey asked what is the policy going to be on W. 3rd Street and Commissioner Kuenning replied that the general plan says that the downtown area will extend as far as 4th Street by 1980. r Councilman Patterson asked if the Council can only properly consider the 8 acres. City Attorney Callaghan stated the Council has the applicatiop for an 8 acre site which the Council can accept or deny or they can accept the recommendation of the Planning Com- mission and approve 4 acres or they can approve anything less than 8 acres. 440 SEP 10 J99! o C'.I:l ~ t:t" ~ Commissioner Kuenning stated the Planning Commission considered the question whether they should deny the 8 acres ans ask for some- thing less., but due to the fact that this matter has been dragged out for such a long time and to expedite matters they recommended the 4 acre site. The Council then discussed the area that would be allocated rtl [] to support a 4 acre center, 6 acre center and 8 acre center, and whether or pot according to the proposed general plan this location is in a general location proposed for a neighborhood center. Com- missioner Kuenning stated that you cannot set down hard and fast rules regarding locations of neighborhood centers, he would say that 3/~9 to 5/10 mile from the edge of the central business district would be a reasonable minimum. The centers should be reasonably spaced so as to best serve the people. Coupcilman Nordahl stated this proposal may conflict. with present shopping facilities in the downtown area now but should not in the future. Mr. Kuenning stated that if the size of a neighbor- hood center is a proper size then there should be no conflict. The question was asked what are the advantages of a core instead of a neighborhood center where parking is more convenient. A core area would attract large stores. It is the desire of many shoppers to compare; merchants support each other to bring in trade. After further discussion on the advantages of centralization against the advantages of decentralization, on motion of Council- man Owren" seconded by Councilman McClaskey, and by the following called vote, the public hearing was closed: Ayes--Councilmen McClaskey, Nordahl, Owren, Patterson and Mayor Burch; Noes--none; Absent--none. iJ Councilman Owren stated the Council should now decide. whether this is or is not good planning for the City of Livermore. One important aspect is that for the time being, and some time 1n the future, the downtown area is.going to be the same. People like these centers because of the convenience in parking; people will go o a few extra blocks to be able to park in front of the store where ,.

Councilman Patterson commented he feels a lot of people would like a neighborhood center in this location and also that the City has a certain moral obligation to oonsider. The fact that it is only a half mile away is not a serious matter. He has considered I the matter for a long time and feels that no one will be unduly injured. ,- A motion was made by Councilman Patterson, seconded by Counc~n Owren to accept the Planning Commission recommendation - and approve a 4 acre site and the service station site. Councilman McClaskey stated he feels it is not good planning; it is too close to the downtown area. Councilman Nordahl stated there is no health or safety problem, as to welfare, land values will not be hurt by this. He does not think anyone has enough facts as"to what is right and wrong. It will not hurt anyone; it will serve many people who want this service and this does confor~within reason, to the general plan. Mayor Burch felt this is not a proper location, he wants to do what is right, what helps the City in a visionary way. The Council should not disregard the things Mr. Wise has said regarding redevelopment. Councilman Nordahl stated he does not see "where there is a conflict; there is no conflict between the use of this area and the downtown area. r Councilman Owren asked Mr. Leuenberger if they went to a 6 acre site, would they have aoout the same facilities as those pro- posed and Mr. Leuenberger replied they could have about the same facilities in a six acre site but if a four acre site were granted, they would have to renegotiate for a smaller market. Councilman Owren stated he would like to have the best for Livermore, he does not want a second rate center. Mr. Leuenberger commented that Mr. Walker's recommendation I of six acres is more logical; they may have one or two lean years 442 SEP 1 0 1957 o ~ ~ t:!:' e.: but a six acre site will take care of the future. They can conform to a 4 acre, 6 acre, or 8 acre site, the'. key tenant would vary. A 4 acre site will offer neighborhood facilities at the minimum. Councilman Patterson feels that a 4 acre site would not jeopardize any other area. After further discussion, Councilman D..;.. UJ Patterson's motion to accept the Planning Commission recommendation for a four acre site plus the service station site received the following vote: Ayes--Councilmen Patterson and Owren; Noes-- Councilmen McClaskey, Nordahl and Mayor Burch; Absent--none. Councilman Nordahl then made a motion to accept the appli- cation for rezoning as requested to be rezoned. The motion died for lack of a second. Councilman Patterson made a motion to accept the Planning Commission recommendation and grant a four acre site plus the 3/4 acre for a service station. Councilman Patterson then withdrew this motion. Councilman Owren then made a motion to rezone the West six Fl.;. B acres instead of the four acres and accept all other recommendations of the Planning Commission. The motion was seconded by Councilman Nordahl and passed by the following called vote: Ayes--Councilmen Nordahl.. Owren and Patterson; Noes--Councilman McClaskey and ~or Burch; Absent--none. Flyi~ Model Airplanes at Recreation Center The Council then discussed with the Recreation District Board the recent petition to the Council objecting to the ~lying of model airplanes at the Recreation Center. Mr. Michael spoke on behalf of the Recreation District stating they want to please an many people as possible. They have scheduled this activity at times when they felt the neighbors would be the least inconvenienced. The Superintendent has been instructed to seek out another location but as yet a desirable location has not been found. This model airplane flying is a fine recreatio~al activity and is growing all the time.

A petition was presented, circulated by officers of the Falcons Model Airplane Club, among the residents in the immediate area. Th~ majo~ity of them had no objections to this ,activity. r- .Mr. Ve~non Williams representing the Falcons, explained they l now fly the airplanes on Saturday from 4:00 to 7:00 p~ M.I Daylite Savings Time; they soon will have only one hour from 4:00 to 5:00 due to darkness. The purpose of this group is to promote the building and flying ot model airplanes. At present the g~oup con- sists of 35 members. Mr. Williams exp~essed the hope that this activity will not be curtailed; a~ry few people may be inconvenienced but this is greatly outweighed by the benefit to the young~ters in keeping them off the sDreets and providing a very fine recreational activity. The matter was then generally discussed and the question was asked about the High School grounds and. Mr. Shelly replied this is not a good site because of the safety anglej there is no fence. The airport property was suggested as a possible location. It was explained - that there must be a turf for ~ying these planes. It was decided that with the coming winter months the objections should decrease and in'the meantime the Council will work with the Recreation District in locating another site. It was suggested that Mr. Shelly contact Mr. Kimberling regarding a site at the airport. Tentative Map Tract 1906 (Jensen) Mr. R. N; Jensen appeared before the Council regarding a tentative map of Tract 1906. There is a problem dating back to the time when the property was owned by Ralph Hoffman. It is now dis- covered that with the standard street and sidewalk area, the face of the curb will be encroaching private property on Nielsen Lane. Te maintain a 40 foot traveled way, the sidewalk area would have to be cut down to 9 feet. Mr. Robert Becker who has already built his home, which is not in the tract, objects to a Ii foot parking strip which would not be large enough to plant trees and also it '- would be difficult for cars to drive in. Mr. Jensen asked the 444 SEP '1 0 i1951':' o ~ I:U t:X:' c::2 Council if they would consider cutting down the street to a 39 foot travelled way where necessary. The Council asked Mr. Mancini for his opinion regarding this matt~r and Mr. Mancini stated he would 'like to see the road maintained at a minimum and take up the difference in the sidewalk area. Mr. Jensen anq.Mr, Becker were:to work something out regarding the sidewalk area. D" ".) ,,~ 'of Later in the meeting Mr. Jensen retunned and-reported that ha and Mr. Becker had reached a decision. Mr. Jensen will install concrete in the reduced sidewalk area. Extension of Marylin Avenue Mr. Mancini reported that the approved plans for the extension of Marylin Avenue were sent to the City Administrator July 31st with a letter of transmittal. Since these plans ~annot be located the City Clerk was instructed to request additional copies from Bryan and MUrphy.

" ~~. , Traffic Problem Corner of Vallecitos & Ninth st. The Council then discussed the traffic problem at the corner of Vallecitos Road ~d Ninth Street due to the fence along Vallecitos Road blocking the view. Mrs. C. A. Burton appeared before the Council stating she plans to buy the house at the corner of this intersection andf,'is williilg to have the fence moved back twp feet on her property to alleviate this traffic hazard. Also she commented the problem would be minimized considerably if the "end 35 mile" sign were moved from the ~ridge out further south on Vallecitos Road and a do'uble white line painted to prevent passi?g. Mrs. Burton presented a sketch showing what she proposed for tpis inter- section. She had measured the intersection and feels that moving the fence back two feet will be more than enough to give a clear view of Vallecitos Road to cars turning into it from 9th street. Mr. Mehran said he will be willing to move the fence back along her lot. i Mrs. Burton was requested to leave this sketch with Chief Michelis to check. If he feels that this will solve the problem the Council will accept it. ~ " "..; ~ ",. ~ !"!':::..I -'~.<=""~'~'c :":" ""!~,bX' ;,:,,:'i: :e-':.: :~.~m:.::,~t<~ ;"~ "~ :~.. , '" , , ..-<W., --- ...... ...... -' ~ - I I ' i, I S'EPIO 195~i 447 General PIE\.n The City Clerk reported she has received the stencils of the General Plan and there will be 80 pages instead of 160 and asked the Council if they wished 200 copies made instead of the IOO as previously authorized.

Policy Regarding Burning of Lots Witnin the City The Council then discussed with Fire Chief Jack Baird the policy for the cleaning of lots within the City. Mr. ~ird reported the City does have an ordinance that allows posting of property that are fire hazards. If this property is not cleaned within a certain number of days, the property E cleared by the City and the property owner is billed or the charge added to the property assessment on the tax role. Mr. Baird recommended that these lots not be burned by the Fire Department because of the liability involved. He suggested that the weeds be chopped or disced. In the spring the Fire Chief will survey all the lots in the City and as they become covered with hazardous grass' and weeds~ the property owner will be notified of the danger. If the lots are not cleared by the property owner, they will be posted and after IO days disced by the City and charged on the owners property taxes.

S.EP. 16 1957 449 refunded and they will be required to discontinue the use of the City sewer line and" install other methods of aewage disposal for - their dwelling. The City Clerk was instructed to write Mr. Givens informing him ofcthis action and instruct him to contact City Attorney R. M. Callaghan regarding the preparation of a contract. Mr. Callaghan was to have the proposed contract ready for the next meeting. Fenoe on Vallecitos & 9th street Mrs. C. A. Burton told the Council she had apparently mis- informed them at the last meeting in saying that Mr. Mehran would move her fence. He objects very much to paying the cost of moving the .fence. l Councilman Patterson stated that this is a traffic hazard, the City had ordered the fence put up and should be responsible for moving it. He suggested that Mrs. Burton bring in an estimate of the cost. Mrs. Burton reported she already has an estimate for moving this 40 feet of fence. To cut the fence flush leaving the posts in the ground would cost approximately $138.00 and to remove the posts entirely would cost approximately $1-46.00. The Council considered the possibility of the City crew doing this work but decided they should not be taken off their working schedule to do this type of work. 'The mOVing of this fence was authorized to be done in the most expeditious manner and Mr. Winter was to have this work done for an amount not to exceed $138.00. The City Clerk was instructed to write to Mr. Mehnan in- forming him of the above action. - Discussion With Pleasanton Township County Water District Vice-Mayor Nordahl read a communication from the Pleasanton TOwnship County Water District to bring the Council up to date on the matter. I ' Mr. Bush introduced the members of the Board and Mr. Lowell Miller, their attorney, who would be spokesman. Mr. Miller began by saying this matter cannot be resolved this evening; it will take considerably more information to 450 SEP 16 1951 o ~ ~ =' c::: determine whether it would be a good thing for Livermore to annex to the Pleasanton Township County Water District. Everyone must look to the future and cooperate in an attempt to con~erve every possible bit of water for the valley. We cannot sit and wait for the state Government and Federal Government to solve our problems; D we are obligated to the people of the valley to conserve all water. . , Local water is always the cheapest water; the further you have to export or import water the more expensive it is. Any effort in the field of water supply should be a cooperative effor~ by a~l agencies concerned. Mr. Miller stated that this proposed Arroyo de~ Valle project cannot hurt Livermore's water supply, partly becau~e of the natural barrier; lying between the City of Livermore running in a southeast to northeast direction is a fault which divides the basin. Very little water gets from Livermore to ~he lower basin, and Pleasanton Township basin is fed by percolation of water primarily from Arroyo del Valle. The Pleasanton Township Water District has entered into ~ arrangement with the Alameda County Water District for the d~ve~op- ment of the Arroyo del Valle to put to use the waste water; waters would be captured by a dam from the Arroyo; this project is one that they cannot finance alone. Assuming that this project is developed~ it would not take away anything that Livermore now has but it might take away a share of future water. If Livermore were not annexed to this n, u district, they would not have the oPP?rtunity to share any future surplus water. Mr. Miller stated that at this point he cannot say if it would be wise for Livermore to come into the district or if it would be wise for the District to annex Livermore. The Council then asked various questions of Mr. Miiler. He stated the Pleasanton Township Water District will be meeting soon with the Zone 7 BOard to agree on the ove~all job each is to do so there will not be a duplication of effort. r:1 tJ ,...,,~ ."",., .. or' ~ ".~ ~.. - ~ [, ' ~ I i I I I ___r_"'I!illI!I'~ 'r.'-~.' SEP 16 1~57 451 The Council felt that until the Pleasanton TOwnship Water District has met with Zone 7, they will not know what action should be taKen.

Vice-Mayor Nordahl explained that I ' , . . even though some of these items for capital outlay are included in the budget, the Council approved the budget on the basis of an estimate and when expenditures for capital items are made, prior approval of the Council should be given. Mr. Gaskill explained the history of the proposed purchase , of this capital equipment, namely a truck. On July 16th a signed application was SUbmitted, on July 28th they received word they cculd inspect the truck in August, Mr. Brown checked on it. Theyhave - now received a phone call that Livermore is one of two cities to - , - receive a truck. This is a G.M.C. 6x6 van type Army shop truck which was used as an optical vehicle. Mr. Gaskill was asked to what purpose would this truck be used and he replied it could be used as a mobile communication center or converted as a light duty rescue or light engineering truck. 452 SEP .16 :W51'~ co CI'l ~ t::I:' c:: Mr. Gaskill then explained the usual procedure in securing surplus equipment. The state circulates forms saying certain items are available and applications must be made by a certain time. They then make application without committing any money. After inspection is when they must decide in a hurry if they want the item or not. In the past Mr. Gaskill has gone to the City Administrator regard- D ing the purchase of certain items. Councilman Nordahl asked if it was possible for them to make the request and inspection and then come to the Council. Mr. Gaskill stated he would like to propose that when he gets the sheets he will file an application and at the same time tell the Cou~cil he wants it; if the Council does not approve he can withdraw the application. Mr. Gaskill stated he already has an application in for generators in the amount of $940. and would like the Council's feelings on the matter. This is committed from last years budget. The Council then discussed the purchase of this sprplus truck. The question was asked who is going to maintain this truck and where will it be stored. Mr. Gaskill stated this truck will be garaged at the City Corporation Yard. Councilman Nordahl stated he is not in favor of this ex- B penditure; he feels that Civil Defense has a place; their major effort should be in informing people what to do in case of an emergency. On motion of Councilman Pattersonl seconded by Councilman McClaskey, and by the following called vote, the expenditure for said truck was approved: Ayes--Councilmen McClaskey, Owren and Patterson; Noes--Vice-Mayor Nordahl; Absent--Mayor Burch.

Application ~r Shopping Center At this time a public hearing was held on the application of Lincoln Lumber Co. xo rezone the easterly 400 feet of the property located on the northwest corner of East Avenue and' Hl11crest Avenue from Zone R-l to Zone C-l to accommodate the erection of a shopping center. Mr. L. H. Lincoln of the L1ncoln Lumber Co. of Oakland --,,-sPoke regarding their rezoning application. Mr. Lincoln stated that when they first built homes in the area there were no shopping facilities immediately available and there was no school. Builders in the area of the PX shopping center had something to offer and had the advantage. About 4 or 5 years ago he started to think about a small shopping center at this East Avenue and Hillcrest Avenue location. Two years ago Lincoln Lumber Co. made application R.".... LJ ':,~', :.1 .~ '11.., -(:U~:~~:, ,~ :,j,:ii~..-- i.~. :::Ai :;"~:~'~~~'.~.;*"~.,~i;~1Ji,~)" c.....' .. StP' 2 :r1957 461 I for an eight acre center which met opposition from downtown merchants. It was suggested that they withdraw their application until after the Master PlaR was developed. l~en this Master Plan was well along application was made for a four acre site which the Planning Commission recommended for denial. Mr. Lincoln stated that he plans to build approximately 100 homes on the Jacobson property and Mr. Panitz plans 140 homes and there is a real need for a-shopping center-in that area now. They plan the center to be of single story ranch type that will harmoniously fit into the area. Mr. Lincoln then introduced Mr. Dave Whittet who brought out the point that this site is a central location in area proposed to be developed. Mr. Whittet then presented a map showing the probable route to the center. 75% of the people in a half mile radius will use Hillcrest Avenue and East of the. school instead of East Avenue. r I I This map also showed pedestrian traffic; because of its central location, a great deal of driving would be eliminated. Another map was presented showing the proposed center's relationship to the school. The shopping center building will be located in the North- e'ast corner of the site. A neighborhood center could be created; a school, shopping center and church, which would be physically attractive and convenient for the people who used it. Mr. Whittet then presented a sketch illustrating the type of architecture planned for the center; one story buildings with gabled r roofs centered around a patio which would be harmonious wi~h the surroundings. Mr. Whittet also presented a map showing that residents in the immediate adjoining area were in favor of the shopping center and have signed a petition for the center. This map also showed the location of the 'proposed church. Mr. Lincoln then stated he would like to review the close of the public hearing before the Planning Commission. At one meeting a motion was made that the testimony be closed and the proposal taken under advisement. At the next meeting all Commissioners were not present. About a month later a member of the Plannin& Commission i ! 462 SEP 23 1957- moved that the hearing be opened for the second time. This was the first time they had an opportunity to speak on the que~tionaire circulated among various sChool districts. Mr. Lincoln felt this questionaire was a little' unfair when it was offered after the hea~ ing was closed. Thi~ que~tionaire should have been phrased by both parties. It does not state the size of the shopping center; a medium size center is considered by some as 15 to 25.acresl this proposed center is a minimum 9f 4 acres with 3-1 parking ratio. ~. Lincoln then commented on the various answers given on this questionaire; the answers are pot 100% negative. There wa~ some feeling that traffic would be a great problem. If this application were granted Mr. Lincoln would be willing to sit d9wn w~th school officials and work out a program such as landscaping or fencing to further protect the children. Mr. Lincoln stated he felt that they have convinced the Planning Commission and everyone present that traffic i~ a second consideration. Councilman Owren was seated during the above discussion. Mayor Burch acknowledged receipt of a number of commun~cations sent to the Council from individual citizens. and groups of citizens. Most of them do not favor the shopping center where it is n9W pro- posed; a center. is needed'in the area but not in such close proximity to the school. Mayor Burch then asked for any protestants to speak. Mr. Joe MichellI Superintendent of the Livermore School District, spoke on behalf of the School District Board pf Trustees protesting this application. He informed the Council that, at no time has the Livermore School District opposed progress in the City of Livermore nor has the Sphool Board or the Administrator opposed shopping centers. They are pres~nt tonight to oppose this rezoning application because of the nearness of the area.to the Eas~ Avenue School. If this zpning was approved it might establish a precident, commercial zoning may be requested on other corners of the inter- section. Mr. Michell commented on the map presented by th~ Lincoln !:c.: 1.;6'. 1" " . ... 4" , - .\t_,;i....r .L;'..~:l!""~p, .~ .:.. " . - ~ '<I,'"" ~~ c C'-" CU et' <<::2 D g ~ ", SEP 23 1257' 463 I Lumber Co. showing the people expressing themselves as favorable to-- the shopping center; most of this area is uninhabited, there are not more than 35 or 50 people residing in this area. Mr. Michell also stated that if they called this proposed facility a medium size center they were wrong but he does not think the magnitude of the-shopping center is the problem. It is a nuisance problem and will require an additional amount of super- vision by the school. Mr. Michell then commented on the sketch showing the traffic pattern. Traffic will not pass in front of the school but they will still be vitally concerned about traffic around the corner where children have to cross the street, this problem will increase as the area develops. Mr. Michell stated the school probably would not object if the center were on Hillcrest four or five blocks away. The following property owners spoke in opposition to the proposed shopping center: Carl Kober Corner Estates st. & Harvard Way I l I Dorothy Sladky Hillcrest Court James Bell Yale Way Jean Kruger Harvard Way & Estates St. The main objections brought out by these people were that when they bought their homes the surrounding area was zoned resi- -dential and they expected homes to be built, the shopping center cou1d be built East of Hillcrest and people that.want to live next to a center can buy homes there when the area is developed. The traffic problem will not be minimized as they proposed; if a store the type such as Safeway is in the center, people will come from all r-- ! over town to shop. Children will be going through the parking area which:will create a hazard in itself. Also there is a nuisance in- volved, their yards will aOllect,candy wrappers and ice cream sticks from children stopping on their way home from school. 464 SEP ',23'1957 Mr. Lincoln was asked what he would recommend for tDe TOmpkins property and he replied that garden apartments would be one possi- bility for this property. Councilman McClaskey asked Mr. Lincoln in view of the opposition does he have any alternative in sight. Mr. Lincoln replied there is.a problem involved further out. There are no sewers and the community has not developed further out. He has made studies and the only alternative woul~ be tn the Jacobson property which is about 3/4 mile from Nojet Company but it is not as logical a location as on this intersection as now outlined in the present application. Mr. Mancini was asked. about the drainage in this area and he replied he does not think this is feasible at this time; the drainage will develop with the area. Councilman McClaskey asked Mr. Michell if the trustees would be opposed to this alternate site and:Mr. Michell stated it would be a matter to be discussed by the board. . Mr. Dick Lincoln stated he has a shopping center in Mission San Jose. Shopping center stores do not open early enough in the morning to conflict. There is not much time during the noon hour; after school is the only time the children might come to the center. Mr. Malvern Sweet commented.on Mr. Lincoln's statement re- garding the conflict of the shopping center with the school, businesses downtown are open before school starts in the morning. Also there is an added b~rden in the educations budget by administer- ing traffic patrOlS. Thought should be given the problem before it arrise~, not after. It was also pointed out that the height of the shopping center traffic does overlap with the school hours as many classes are on double~sessions.

Rezoning Application - Continued The Council resumed the~ discussion on the Lincoln Shopping Center application. ~ Councilman Patterson stated that because qfthe economic feasibility of choosing the p~oposed alternate site with its storm drainage problem he would like to have Mr. Mancini discuss this problem briefly. Councilman Nordahl stated there is a specific application before the Council; the problem of an alternate site and the drain- age in this alternate site is not a proper matter for discussion at this time. B Councilman Owren stated he disagreed with Councilman Nordahl; when you are~ rezoning land it would make a difference to him if there were other areas available or not. " .0......

SEP 23 1951 469 ,-- Mayor Burch felt the Council should discu~s both the present application and the possibility of an alternate site. Mr. Mancini was asked about the storm drainage problem and replied that he is in no position to give a recommendation, there is no specific proposal as to the exact location~f a site and how it is going to affect other areas. A drainage problem exists on either the Hillcrest or East Avenue area. \ I Councilman Nordahl then asked Mr. Kuenning what is the thinking of the Planning Commission relative to shopping centers .anywhere in the vicinity as relates to other developments, such as schools and high density ho~sing; is it the thinking of the Planning Cpmmission that the logical place for commercial expansion would be the four corners at East Avenue and Hillcrest. Mr. Kuenning stated one commercial four acres is enough in a general area. The general - I I , I area on the proposed General Plan is mainly single family homes with a minimum of 500Q sq. ft. lots. Mr. Kuenning was also asked if there was a possibility of apartment houses in the area and he anawered there might be certain areas for multiple dwellings. Councilman Nordahl asked what,assurance do people ,buying in these areas have of what their n~ighbors are likely ~o be; Mr. Kuenning replied there is no specific plan he oan only say that somewhere in a general area there is a need for a shopping center. The Co~ncil then discussed the possible location of a service station in that area. Mr. Lincoln stated that if it were less objectionable they wou~d propo~e a service station across the stret. Mr. Kuenning stated that h~ w9uld personally recommend that the service station be included in the center. Mayor Burch asked Mr. Kuenning if he could tell the Council where another shopping center site can locate and Mr. Kuenning for Nojet and the Council granted a six acre site; he is not sure ... 470 SEP, 23 1957< , " , ' c en ~ t:e ~ how to interpret it, whether the Council felt their standards were too low. If the Council intends they should allocate more trading area to Nojet, he feels that the alternate site proposed would be a better location; he believes the Planning Commission would consider this a logical site. If the Council is in favor of larger centers than four acres, they will have to ~e fewer and farther apart. After further discussion on the proposed site and the alternate site, the Council felt that in view of the fact that a substantial number of people do not want the shopping center at the proposed lopation although they do want a center in the general area, the application should be denied, and Mr. Lincoln should be assured that the Council will give every consideration to an alternate site. Mayor Burch stated the Council has tried to be fair to every- one; it is evident that this proposed shopping center is a little too close to the school but he is sure a satisfactory solution can be found, such as this shift further down ~~ ~ On motion of Councilman McClaskey, seconded by Councilman Owren, and by the following called vote, the application to rezone was denied: Ayes--Councilmen McClaskey, Nordahl, Owren, Patterson ~ ~ and Mayor Burch; Noes--none; Absent--none.

Mr. Jensen stated he is payillg $859.pO or $200 per acre, storm drainage fee which was set up by Mr. Mancini some time ago. Councilman Patterson felt this drainage fee should be paid on the actual cost instead of based on an estimate and suggested that the fee submitted be accepted with the understanding that when the actual cost is known the amount will be adjusted up or down. Mr. Mancini stated an actual cost is not known until con- struction is started and referred to his detailed report to set a policy to aid in future financing of storm drainage. Mr. Jensen stated this $200 fee was levied where property owners would install pipe at cost as they went along; when they reached Tesla Road they would have to buy an easement across the winery propertYA From this $200 per acre fee there would be a sufficient amount of money to install the last out-fall pipe to the " creek. - !

Selectl.on of'Coi1sult1ng'Sanitary 'Engineer tor Sewage Disposal ImproveD1ents - . -The Council discussed the three engineering finns being considered for the engineering design of the sewage disposal plant and improvemenlls. On Brown and Caldwell's proposal, the engineering fee for the total project would amount to approximately 9~. Council- man Patterson stated it was suggested at one time to split up the job, have one firm do the trunk lines and one firm. do the plant. How would this affect the fee? Mr. Parness indicated if the job were split the fees would have to be revised. Councilman Patterson stated that most of the firms did not express anything but possible disappointment regarding a split. Councilman Nordahl stated that Mr. Carlton Yoder's fee figures out from 1 to 1~ lower than that of Brown and Caldwell and will give essentially the same things. In discussions with representatives of the three firms, Councilman Nordahl felt that two of the firms, Brown and Caldwell or Yoder could do a job the Council will be satisfied with. Councilman OWren stated he believes that all three are qualified engineers; also he can see no advantage to the city to split the job. Councilman Nordahl remarked the only advantage is the difference in fees. Mayor Burch asked the Council if they were ready to make a decision. Councilman Nordahl stated he is convinced that two of the firms can give us the type of plant we need; he has said before he was very disappointed in many of the phases of Brown and Caldwell's Report as they did not consider many economic points which should have been included. Councilman OWren commented that from his observations he has been disappointed in most surveys he has seen; probably a person over- 6 o OT 719.57 ~ o :>c > = anticipates what may be accomplished in a survey and report. Councilman McClaskey felt that any of the three can give good facilities", his only concern 1s who can the Council work best with. Councilman Patterson stated that if Mr. Yoder were selected, ~vermore would be upper.most with him; although he has confidence in both Mr. Yoder and Brown and Caldwell, which are the only two he would consider. fj Councilman Owren stated he cannot say that Mr~ Yoder is any better engineer than the other two. If Brown and Caldwell is not chosen he would like to review the other two. Mr. Mancini's proposal to the Council was a verbal one. He would go along with all proposals ~de on a straight percentage basis. The inspector' s ~alary would be paid di rect by the ci ty but he would be responsible to Mr. Mancini who in turn would be responsible to the City. Mr. Parness stated that if the decision is to be based on cost of a consulting engineer he can prepare a special proposal form for submission to each fi~, this way each one will be sup- mi tting a proposal on the same sort of proposal form. The Council agreed they do not intend to, choose on a fee basis only, the most important thing is the ab~lity to do the job. Councilman Patterson asked Mr. Mancini if there are any advantages for the City to split up the work. Mr. Mancini stated he feels that Brown and Caldw~ll are o specialists in one field, they would have to e~loy him or someone with like experience to do certain types of work, and he believes he can do a better job on the trunk lines than Brown and Caldwe~l, because of his familiarity in the area, as he has worked for the ci ty for the past 20 years" his fir.m has had more background, which would take years for Brown and Caldwell or any other fir.m to learn about this area. Mr. Mancini stated his fir.m will, lend all their help to whoever is awarded the job. Councilman Nordahl asked if it is desirable to split up such 8 ,;"............. i-,,~:,~I ,......., '1 .--. t ..""" It ~(It.'~" .'''____..'.._....If''''Wlt''~' >If" 'or'''''' . ,~""ftt.O !'" ~ .

( 'lC~:7 J.j 7 a job or do you run into more problems. Mr. Mancini cpuld see no o - . additional problem with the split, it appears to him that somebody familiar to the area, as he is, can give the city a much better job. There is no conflict in the design of a treatment plant and the design of the trunk lines. Mr. Mancinl was asked if he supplied any survey work for Brown and Caldwell's sewerage report and he replied that Mr. Bell was in his office repeatedly after infor.mation. His firm had worked very closely with them and advised them as to where they thought trunk lines should be installed. This was a duplicate of that which [ was submitted to the Council some time ago. Councilmen Nordahl stated the Council planned to make a decision this evening on the selection of an engineering firm. He would be satisfied with either one of two and the order of preference would be Mr. Yoder first and Brown and Caldwell second, based on the disappointment in approach used on the survey and the engineering approach used in the proposal. Councilman OWren stated he would reverse the two, Brown and Caldwell would be his first choice and Yoder second. His only reservation was whether or not they could get the services of Caldwell. Councilman Patterson stated he would like to see Mr. Mancini do the trunk lines. Something that has to be considered is whether the plant will have to be raised or lowered; basically Mr. Mancini's work in this area has always been to his credit and he has always been more than cooperative with the city. He would like to have Mr. Mancini considered for the trunk lines as there was no firm rl ,l objecting to the split, and would like a list of preferences from the Council and also regarding the split. Councilman Nordahl stated that he would like to go along with this idea of the trunk lines. Mayor Burch stated that all three of the firms were in favor of dQing the total job but if the Council wanted to split it they 8 " OCT 1 '. 1957 would go along. The Council then voted on their preference. Mr. Parness announced that Brown & Caldwell had received three votes on both sections of the job. On motion of Councilman Patterson, seconded by Councilman OWren, and the unanimous vote of the Council the finn of Brown and Caldwell was selected to do this job and the City Administrator was authorized to draw up the contract. Lease "of Pasture Land at Garbage Disposal S1 te -,. Mr. Parness reported to the Council that ~he contract with Mr. Henry Garaventa for lease of area not used at the Garbage Disposal Site has expired. This lease had provided for an option to renew for two years but Mr. Garaventa did not notify the City, although he is still interested in leasing the property. Assuming that the Council would like the renegotiation of this lease it will be necessary to prepare a new agreement. The matter was referred to the City Administrator to have a new agreement drawn for either a one or two year period. Applioation for Business License On motion of Councilman Nordahl, seconded by Councilman Patterson, and the unanimous vote of the Council, the application of John Flynn to conduct a restaurant at 71 South L street was approved.

The City is now in the process of purchas- ing 30 acres and have an option on 10 acres. This will require the city to purchase an additional 20 acres to meet.'.the required needs. Mr. Parness asked the Council if they wished to pay for the site from current monies or bond funds. He presented a report show- ing estimated fund balances as of June 30, 1958 and obligations. The matter was then discussed by the Council, They wish to reduce the total amount of bonds by available monies such as sale of the present site, ~nexpended sewer bond monies and any other available funds but they do not wish to restrict any funds by using current monies.

Discussion on Right-Of-Way at Proposed Sewage Disposal Site City Attorney Callaghan read a deed from Herbert Hagemann deeding 30.01 acres to the city for the sewage disposal plant. This deed contains a right-of-way to Mr. Hagemann from the South end of the property to the North end. The Council questioned the fact that no right-of-way had been provided for egress and ingress from the site to Highway 50. Mr. William Gale, Attorney, stated that there has never been, any discussion about an option for a right-of~way to Highway 50 since he has been representing the Hagemanns; he was not aware this was the feeling of the Council. Since there seemed to be some misunderstanding in the matter, it was decided to authorize Mr. Parness to call Mr. Gale and arrange a meeting.with the Hagemanns and Mr. Gale in order to clarify this matter and some action will be taken on December 23rd.
