UNFINISHED 3USINESS The Council considered the development at 2039 L Avenue and the City Mana- ger's recommendation that if the property owners have not agreed to a 1911 Act, the building permit for Mr Daniels will be issued the meeting of February 9 (a copy of map was attached to the agenda) . Moved by Hogue, seconded by Camacho, they refuse to allow anyone to build into the future M Avenue opening; they should set up a future street line through there. Gary Ellingson, Attorney, Suite 1108, San Diego Trust & Savings Bank Build- ing, San Diego, was present and said he represented Mr. Daniels and Mr. Rindon; it was his understanding that if the property owners of the proper- ty involved for M Street did not want M Street put in under a 1911 Act that this building permit would be issued to Mr. Daniels and Mr. Rindon for their apartment; at the meeting he attended 2 weeks ago he went through the details for the apartment at that time; at that time he was informed that if an insufficient number of people owning the property affected by M Street voiced an objection then at that time the building permit would be issued; he certainly could not understand how the City could hold up a building permit for any additional length of time when it had been held up for well over 2 months now; he thought the 1911 Act initiation was going to be the final resolution of this matter and if there was no 1911 Act initiated by the property owners who are the ones affected by the streets and the only ones who could possibly benefit by the streets because the street has to lead to a dead end, a cul de sac which can go nowhere, then the only people directly involved who could benefit from the street are the ones who own that property; he could not see how the Council could consider refusing to grant the building permit and, in effect, denying Mr. Rindon and Mr. Daniels and all of those other property owners the opportunity to develop their land. There was discussion. City Manager Osburn said they had roughly 56 3 of the people against a 1911 Act improvement, 20 a for it and 245 did not respond. There was discussion. Vernon Stroiz, 765 Ash Street, Chula Vista, owner of property in subject area was present and said he would like to read a letter he sent to Mr. Foster a week ago: "Dear Mr. Foster: Subject: M Avenue, etc. After considerable study of the above matter, I find that the above improvement would not work out for me at this time. I find that approximately 30,000 sq. ft. of land would be used for streets which is 2/9/71 15 from 1/5 to 1/4 of the total footage; according to my tentative map, most lots are shallow making improvement costs per lot extremely high. I have tried at this point to sell the property and I feel it should be kept in a position so it could be developed however the buyer desires. The prospec- tive buyer I had recently backed out because of the cost of developing according to my tentative map. Please be informed that at this time I am against the improvement. Yours very truly, Vernon Stroll." Motion failed by the following vote, to -wit: Ayes: Camacho, Hogue. Nays: Reid, Waters, Morgan.
