Moved by Pinson, seconded by Camacho, Council send a resolution to the Count Su ervisors that we are not concerned or interested in any kind of a review because all they are doing is trying to take away local _government (home rule). Mayor Morgan said he wrote a letter to Mr. Conde in this regard; they have created this review group and there is no one in City government on this committee and no one from the South Bay area;...it is like hiring a fox to look over a chicken house.

Moved by Camacho, seconded by Reid, in favor of the City Manager's recommendation, HOWARD KRUEGEL, was present and said there were a few things that were brought out in this recommendation that are not exactly right; they said there are a few violations, that the driveway curb should be no closer than 11 feet; his property line extends another 260 feet past that driveway; he would like to have it as he presented it with a 101--ft. driveway. Moved by Morgan, seconded by Reid, this be laid over one week. There was discussion. City Engineer Foster said he did not inspect the site, his department reviewed the applicant's request and then tried to work out something they thought would comply with the ordinance; he does not know whether or not they talked with Mr. Kruegel. Moved by Morgan, seconded by Reid, the motion to lay over for one week be referred to staff and they bring it back at the next meeting with a recommendation. There was further discussion. MRS. HOWARD (OPAL) KRUEGEL was present and said the City Engineer did not give this situation a very thorough study; they submitted their request on a Friday afternoon and first thing on Monday morning the letter had already been typed; she does not feel they gave the problem any real study without going down there and looking at the situation; we have a traffic hazard. Assis- tant City Manager Stenberg asked Mr. Kruegel to contact him at his earliest convenience and he will make arrangements to take a look. Motion to lay over until meeting of February 5 carried by unanimous vote. REPORTS Planning Department transmittal regarding VACATION OF PUBLIC WAY: all or part of ARCADIA PLACE from the northerly line of 10th Street, south a distance of 395 feet more or less and stating the Planning Commission recommended that Arcadia Place from the northerly line of loth Street, south a distance of 390 feet, more or less, not be vacated but that an 8-ft. high chain link fence be installed along the median for the entire length of said street and the Planning Directors statement the City Attorney should review and comment on the legal implications involved before Council takes final action on the total issue; and a letter from Plaza Manor Associates requesting continuance until first meeting in February in order that they might circulate petitions, obtain witnesses and to be prepared to present adequate protests to the vacation of Arcadia Place on east side of their property were presented. Planning Director Gerschler said Council has the Planning Commission's recommendation and also the request for 1/22/T4 34 continuance.

There was discussion. ROY EDWARDS, 3010 E. l0th, was present and asked if he did not just get through with a public hearing? He was advised the Planning Commission has had a public hearing; by law, there must be a public hearing before Council as well. There was discussion. City Attorney McLean said if the Council finds there is a threat to public safety, Council can take steps to regulate vehicular traffic on city streets; that is Councilts legal power; as to what kind of temporary measure Council ought to take, he has no opinion on that; that is something that should come from the Engineering staff; he does not know whether Council needs to to put a chain across the street or stop signs; there was a report from the Chief of Police that advises Council of some temporary measures; he is not sure on this. There was further dis- cussion. City Attorney McLean said there is a second issue that he does not have the answer to; if Council completely excludes vehicles from coming out of the Plaza Manor onto public streets the driveways were originally designed to serve, then there is the question as to whether or not the Council has so substantially interferred with the owners'right of access, it could constitute an act of condemnation; if the answer is "yes Council has so substantially interferred with the owners right of access," then Council has, in effect, condemned their access away; the City could be obligated to pay monetary damages; it would be speculation to think of what that amount of money might be in dollars and cents; that is a very real factor here; no staff analysis has ever been made of the consequences of physically closing Arcadia Place; you have never made such an analysis. Motion carried by unanimous vote, Moved by Pinson, seconded by Waters, the Cit En ineer ut u a tem orar barricade of same t e that would give immediate relief from traffic there but not interfere with fire trucks in case of emergency until the public hearing on March 12.

MAYOR MORGAN said/the National Award Homes were built on Division and Euclid and 4th, they put in this stake fence at the rear of the houses on the east side of Euclid; some people there want to put up a 6-ft, fence; in two places, cars have run through that; and asked Mr. Gerschler if that had to go through the Planning Commission. Planning Director Gerschler said he would look into it and make a report to Council; if he could not answer it, he would take it to the Planning Commission. Vice Mayor Pinson said he has had reports from the property owners that they think the City owns that fence. Mayor Morgan said he checked on it and the City does not own the fence, Vice Mayor Pinson said they want to be able to put gates in there; one of the big complaints is the trees were planted along in the parkway on Euclid there when that project was built; to be able to water the trees, they must throw the hose over the high fence, walk all the way down to the end of the block and walk back on the sidewalk to water the trees; the trees are now dead because it has been years since they have had water; he would like the Planning Commission to check and see if they can put gates in there to be able to have access to that street. Mayor Morgan said he has checked on that fence and the City does not own it; it is on private property; when the subdivision went in that was part of the thing; they could not have any access to the property from off Euclid; they can't cut a driveway in there; if we don't put up something we are going to look in the back yard.
