RETORT FROM THE 7LANNING COMMISSION was read, relative to the
communication received from the Chamber of Commerce, relative
to the creation of bus service for the population of the north-
east section of National City. They are interested in secur-
ing information relative to the noseibilities of cutting Sani-
tarium Avenue through to Division Street. City Engineer '.'!a.r-
lack advised this would reeuire considerable planning since to
establish a, bus route the street should be constructed of a
high type subgrade and adequate surfacing and should have a
concrete a'ron at each bus stop. It was the recommendation
of the Planning Commission that an extension South from Euclid
Avenue becoming Sanitarium Avenue is a possible street, but
the cost might be quite high end actual development of that
street would have to be held in abeyance until such time as
the Council determines the use of the City owned property in
that area. COUNCILMAN '_:O-SE7_ stated he was present at the con-
ference on this bus situ'-tion and there 're many people who are
very desirous of having bus service for this area, Many routes
were under discussion and at one time Division to Fourth Street
and Sanitarium was a suggested thought. Mr. :,looser stated he
has ta_lked'*,•rith many of the reeltors, members of the Planning
Commission, Taxpayers1 Association and other community organ-
izations and it seems the thought is that the City should dis-
pose of the 80 acres of ground in that area., and get it on the
tax rolls, and by so doing whoever would subdivide could pos-
sible rn ke arrangements for the cutting through of Sanitarium
Avenue which would be a. solution for bus service in that area.;
and he would entertain such action tlnt we loo'_z into the fea-
sibility of having this ground placed for sale and be placed
so ths.t the City can get revenue and thereby through proceed-
ings enable the residents in that area to get bus routing.
COUNCILMAN CAi?BE LL stated he mould be in favor of this pro-
posal, but before any decision is made that first of all
directive be issued to the Planning Commission to have a
joint meeting with the 7ark and Recreation Advisory Board in
reference to the placing of City park facilities and any other
such room as the recreational and park facilities may be need-
ed in all of the area, CITY :^NGINjER 1+WARwICK stated in regard
to the property being discussed, he would like to recommend to
2/2
187
to the Council that. before anything is done, he be allowed
to have his rights Of way through it before it is sold and
let the subdividers ol.td, it up to suit themselves in a w^y
that we cannot possib id
handle the potential traffic we feel
there will be. COL'IId `,fir ':OESER stated he did not feel that
the Council intends to go ahead but to give it consideration
as to the feasibility and it would of course be referred to
the proper departments for recommendations. VICE _LYOR
PAE.CHEN stated he thought we should all keen in mind having
the best type of home possible in this are
ATTORNEY CAW7BE.LL reported on the opinion of the :'ublic
Utilities Connission concerning grade crossings. The Corn -
mission has set uP certain forms for requests for allocation
if need can be shown, and suggested_ that this be turned over
to the City Manager and City Engineer to see *nether or not
there is any need or any t�rotection of our streets as to
grade crossings or railroad crossings, and. if so this would
be an opportunity to at least seek half the cost of that
Protection. VICE KAYO PARCHEN requested this be referred
to the City Manager and City Engineer for proper action,
ATTORNEY CAM7BELL stated that in regard to the contract on
our drainage Problem at 12th ,and Highland., we have just re-
ceived the proposed plans for the dr-•inege east of Highland.
CITY ENGIN ,'. M.�.R',rIC::: stated relation the . � st�, t d in r�l�..,,ion to tyre channel he
considers that the culvert at Highland and 12th would be ap-
nroved with the necessary changes to the utilities to meet
their own requirements. The channel across the property own-
ed by Mr. Trotochau would Peet with our approval. There is a
box culvert across Hart of the property which we consider
would be adequate. It has been suggested that we allot.* the
South Bay Plaza to install the three nines they will be
rather expensive, and the City be given an easement to build
the fourth one. The culvert under 12th and Highland will take
any storm that has ever been recorded in this area, it is more
than adequate. COUNCIL:IAP? ICTSER suggested we should give
attention to the furtherance and consideration of a public
works nro.ject and that we do proceed so that we can work with
the flood control problems and our Engineering Dent. for the
furtherance of a drainage situation by public works, with
Federal assistance. VICE ILAYOR PABCHEN asked if the nines
proposed by Mayfair fit into an overall drainage program.
CITY ENGINEER WA WICK stated under the offer suggested by Mr.
Wilson that the culvert could be so built that an extra nine
would take- care of rather a reasonable storm, GUY C. ?1ILSCN,
resident of National Center, Inc., was present and stated he
did not think that the Council would feel, or that I r. Warwick
wants to incur that the answer to a. hundred percent in the
whole line of that drain is the responsibility of the ownera
of the property in question. COUNCIL"IAN CAMPBELL stated if
Mayfair is Twilling to Put in more than adequate provisions
for drainage, and as,long as they are trilling to grant an ease-
ment in the event of future deluge, it is his belie" that they
are doing their part, in nutting in the provisions for three
60 inch nines. COUNCIL:AN i OFSE^ asked Mr. ':Filson if the
City should agree to put in this fourth barrel if his organiza-
-'tion would agree to compromise with the City on a fifty-fifty
basis. Mr, ?Filson said they would. Moved by ifoeser, that
the City rut in the fourth barrel and compromise on a fifty-
fifty basis with Mr. ''ilson's organization to Pay that hart
of the fourth barrel. Motion died for want of a second. E. H.
ALSDO?F, 2105 HJu Avenue, was present and stated that the only
wry he could see that the City would be protected in regard to
the drainage would be to build a canal under 8th Street and
nnethel= one nne.er the nro7) sed Idth Street,
