CITY MANAGER SULLIVAN stated that the Acting Chief of Police has checked this location and there is no particular police problem involved. COUNCILMAN CARRIGAN stated that this place of business also houses a sub -station of the U. S. Post Office and wondered how that would enter into the picture. ATTORNEY WARNER said he did not believe there is anything in the Alcoholic Control Act concerning a Post Office, but there / is time to check into this matter before it is necessary to make a decision. Mayor Matthews laid this application over until next week. 1 COMMUNICATION FROM ELLEN BAEDER, LIBRARIAN, requesting per- mission to live outside the City of National City was read. Mrs. Raeder stated that due to circumstancbs beyond her control she has had to move from National City, and requests that her name be placed on the list of City employees not living in National City until such time suitable quarters may be found in National City. ATTORNEY WARNra said he thought this was something that was not anticipated when the 3/20 557 new rule was made, we have no list of employees remaining outside of the City, and due to the fact that this provides for special permission for those who were not living within the City at the time the rule was made, it was his suggest- ion that this be referred to the Civil Service Commission and himself and they would come back with a recommendation. Moved by Curry, seconded by Carrigan, that this be referred to the City Attorney and Civil Service Commission for a re- commendation. Carried, all Councilmen present voting aye. CITY CLERK ALSTON said she received a communication from the State Compensation Insurance Fund and a check for $1,813.09 which represents a saving of 34.5% in the cost of the work- men's compensation insurance. This saving is a direct result of on-the-job accident prevention activities of the City employees. MAYOR MATTHEWS suggested a letter to each of the Department Heads be written in appreciation of a job well done. REPORT FROM THE PLANNING COMMISSIO$ approving in part the request for a zone variance by C. D. Matthews, "L° Avenue between 16th and 17th Street, was read. The Commission recommended that since there were additional R-2 and R-4 land usage, and enough lot area for a duplex and garage, also no protests, that tho request be approvud without the apartment above the garage. COUNCILMAN HART said that since there were no protests that he thought it should be turned back to the Planning Commission for further study. With 16th Street to be a through Street and 18th Street is going to be a through street and this property is between the two streets, he thought it should be an R-4, MMYOR MATTHEWS 3/20 1 1 558 said he thought the R-2 was suitable in his case and was satisfied with their decision. COUNCILMAN HART said why start an R-2 when eventually it will be an R-4 zono. COUNCIL- MAN CURRY said he did not feel this should be roferrod back to tho Planning Commission until there are more requests and tho Commission has given it more study. CITY PLANNER WAGNER said the reason the Planning Commission decided on the two units was because there was not quite lot area enough for a triplex in an R-2 variance. COUNCILMAN CLARKE said he was not in favor of referring this back to the Planning Commission and that ho was inclined to go along with their recommendat- ion. RESOLUTION NO. 5411 was read, granting a zono variance permit to Cip D. Matthews for the purpose of building a one bedroom plaster and frame duplex on the foliating doscribed property: Ely 1401 Nly 401 Sly 1551 of Si Ni E4 of 20 Acro Lot 1 in Quarter Soction 133 of Rancho de la Nacion, in National City, EXCEPTING therefrom any portion within the lines the City of thereof lying of any public road or street, as the same existed on March 8, 1921. Tho Ely 1401 Si Ni Ei of 20 Acre Lot 1 of Que^tor Soction 133 of the Rancho do le Nacion. Moved by Clarke, seconded by Curry, that tho Resolution be adoptod. Carried, by tho following voto to -wit: Ares: Carrigan, Clarko, Curry, Matthews. Nays: Ha"t, REPORT FROM THE PLANNING COMMISSION approving tho zone var- iance of H. M. Klinger, 1431 E. 17th Street was read. Mr. Klinger was present et the planning Commission meeting and stated that at this time he did not plan to split his 751 270' lot into smallor parcels, or to provido off street x 3/20 1 1 559- parking garages, or slab for tho requested triplex, but ex- pected to do so later. RESOLUTION NO. 5412 was read granting a zone variance permit to H. M. Klinger for the purpose of building a multiple duplex not to exceed a triplex, on tho following described property: W 75' of E 1281 W 2641 W 3961 of Ei Ni Ni of 40 Acre Lot 1 in Quarter Section 133 of Rancho de la Nacion. Moved by Curry, seconded by Clarke, that the Resolution be adopted. Carried, all Councilmen present voting aye. REPORT OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION regarding the request for zone variance by E. F. Finley of 2212 E. 4th Street, was read. The Commission denied the petition due to the fact that the nearest R-2 zone, or R-4 zone was over 600 feet distant, and they hope the City property directly across 4th Street would be a very restricted large lot neighbor- hood development, and that granting this petition would not be in the best intorests of the City. COUNCILMAN HART said ho would like to know why this variance was denied. Were there any protests? CITY PLANNER WAGNER said there were no protests. COUNCILMAN HART said there is a duplex next door to Mr. Finley. MR. E. F. FINLEY, 2212 E. 4th Street was present and stated that next door is a 2300 square foot duplex and ho had to put a six foot fence to give himself clearance to make a walk, so ho purchased tho lot on the other side to prevent anything like this happening again. Mr: Finley said he wanted to put up a 1000 foot duplex, not anything that will block tho scenery, etc. Under the exist- ing conditions it seems that another duplex on this street would not do any harm. MAYOR MATTHEWS stated ho heard some 3/20 560 members of the Planning Commission discuss the possibility of multiple dwellings on 4th Street and that ho thought it would do no harm to refer this back to them. MR. FINLEY said he called the Commission about three days ago and they said they would reconsider it, and they would survey the lot. There is ample parking space on his proparty so this would present no problem. COUNCILMAN CLARKE asked PLANNER WAGNER if the Planning Commission fools that this is not the timo to grant a varianco so anothor duplox can bo built, why is there one thore now. What is the comparison being made by the Planning Commission. CITY PLANNER WAGNER stated that ho believed the Planning Commission fools that the duplex that is thero probably was there before the Zoning Ordinance wont into effect and the Ordinance is not retroactive, and granting an additional duplex in that aroa considering tho very rostrictod subdivision they hope to see on the North Olds of 4th Street would not help the situation. Some members of the Commission aro awaro of the dissatisfaction and they would roconsidor tho case if it was brought to tholr attontion. MR. FINLEY stated when ho purchased his houso it was with the understanding there would bo no duplex, that tho R-1 was in effeet, then tho same contractor went noxt door and put up this 2300 foot building. Movod by Clarke, seconded by Hart, that the zone variance bo granted Mr. Finley. COUNCILMAN CURRY said that to rofor this back to the Planning Commission would result in about a six week's delay, and that he would favor the variance being granted. COUNCILMAN CARRIGAN said ho did not fool that this would be quite fair to the Planning Commission, that instead of over- riding them to send it back to thorn for reconsideration and 3/20 / 561 1 ask for speed on this particular item. There is no doubt but that what the planning Commission is doing is for the best interests of the City, they are working hard and putting in ,a lot of time. COUNCILMAN HART asked Mr. Finley how long ho has waited. MR. FINLEY statod tho zone varianco was started about six weeks ago. COUNCILMAN HART said if Mr. Finley wished to wait another week ho would withdraw his second to Mr. Clarke's motion, if not ho would leave it stand. MAYOR MATTHEWS asked if Mr. Finley would have any objections to giving the Planning Commission another chance to consider this. COUNCILMAN CLARKE said that he stands on the motion that he made because ho feels that under the con- ditions that thoy have stated, in his mind it shows an ossenco of discrimination. COUNCILMAN HART said that Mr. Finley is willing to wait another week, and under that condition he withdraws his °second". MAYOR MATTHEWS asked if anyone would second Mr. Clarke's motion, if not could we havo a motion that it bo reforrod back to the Planning Commission. Moved by Carrigan, seconded by Hart, that this matter bo referrdd back to the Planning Commission. Carried, by tho following voto to -wit: Ayes: Carrigan, Hart, Matthews. Nays: Clarko, Curry. REPORT FROM THE PLANNING COMMISSION regarding tho zono variance for C. B. Brown, 1404 Division Stroot, was road. This variance was requostod to permit Mr. Raymond Koons, rontor of the property, to operate a Children's Boarding Homo for mentally deficient crib cases. The Commission felt that duo to tho fact that this usago would comp under C-2 (limited business) zone requirements that this was too much 3/20 562 of a jump from R-1, and this use would bo dotrimontal to tho poaco and happiness of tho noighborhood, thoroforo tho pot- ition was denied. ATTORNEY WARNER said he dreftod a Resolution ih accordanco with what ho thought was tho tlouncilts expression at tho lest mooting, which limits tho operation of this boarding homo to this potitionor for leasing to and operation of tho homo to Mr. Raymond Koons and it is not to b assignod or transforrod. COUNCILMAN HART said ho felt thoy should bo granted this zono variance, thoro is no noiso, no complaints and thoy arc doing a good job. RESOLUTION NO. 5413 was road granting a zone varianco pormit to Claudo B. Brown for the purposo of oporeting a Childronts Boarding Homo for mentally rotardod crib casos. That said pormit is grantod upon tho conditions that said pormit is grantod to potitionor for loosing to and oporation of said homo by Mr. Raymond Koons and to no othor porson or persons. That said pormit is non -assignable and non-transforrablo. Movod by Hart, seconded by Clarko, that the Rosolution bo adopted. COUNCILMAN CARRIGAN asked that a lottor be writton to Mr. Koons sotting forth tho stipulations in the Rosolution. ATTORNEY WARNER said ho thought it would be well to send a copy of the Rosolution also. Carried. all Councilman presont voting aye, REPORT FROM THE PLANNING COMMISSION regarding tho approval of Scheme #4 for tho Subdivision of Park View Estates, was reed. Of the four plans submittod by City Plannor Wagner, numbor four was considered the most desirable by the Commission because of its use of tho existing land features. 3/20 563 They wont on record as favoring rostrictive covenants govern- ing tho size and quality of tho homes to bo built on tho tract. Some mombors folt that National City should attompt to rostrict tho area to possibly 1200 square foot homes of oxtremoly high quality by roquiring that plans for buildings bo approved by the Planning Commissiob and tho City Council. Tho Commission voted that Schomo #4 b© approvod subject to revisions nocossary after completion Of an accurato topo- graphical map, which is at prosont boing drawn, and subjoct to tho architoctural approval of all structuros by the Planning Commission and tho City Council. COUNCILMAN CARRIGAN askod what tho particular reason is for sending this plan to tho F. H. A; CITY MANAGER SULLIVAN said the roason for sending it to tho F. H: A. is for their 000porat- ion on land planning approval toward a future loan from the area. Although the City doos not oxpoct to build any housos, if tho land plannor of tho F. H. A. is consultod at tho be- ginning; whon thoy are approached for a loan the tract will already bo approvod and the pooplo who build housos will know that it has F. H. A. approval. MAYOR MATTHEWS inquirod as to tho minimum and th,, maximum lot scheme. MR. WAGNER said t-rov trici to get an UOGO aquaro foot lot in eaeh case, there may be ono or two that aro slightly undor 8000 square foot. MAYOR MATTHEWS askod Mr. Wagnor, if in his opinion for this typo of a subdivision that 1200 square foot por houso is onough of a rostriction. MR. WAGNER said that would bo a minimum rostriction, the 1200 square foot is ox- clusivo of garago. Tho width of tho lots aro 75 to 80 foot, some of tho lots aro 100 foot doop and others"120 foot deep depending upon the location. COUNCILMAN CLIME said he 3/20 564 thought we should bo sure that we are going to have an aroa there that will be a crodit to the community, and hoped that in addition to a fine residence aroa wo would also have a park area. MR. CLARKE inquired as to how much the City would get out of the sale of these lots. MR. WAGNER said there aro 238 lots in that subdivision. COUNCILMAN CLARKE said this land was purchased through the taxpayers money and that we should get as much as wo possibly can out of this land, and if the profits are largo enough, that he personally would like to see the people of this community considered again. It has been a year since they voted to enlarge tho Library and tho City Hall, and that it is about time that something was done to give the people a City Hall that is also a credit to the Community, and that this should be given consideration from every angle. MAYOR MATTHEWS said if wo get the price that we think wo should, $3,000 to $3,500 a lot, it would bring possibly between $700,000 and $800,000 less oxnensos of Bolling and getting the land roady for the subdivision. There should be enough profit to the City to build a City Hall or Library. COUNCILMAN CURRY said the map shows 60 foot stroots on the Park Viow Estates and the map of Rancho Mesa was laid out for 40 foot streets, which he does not approve. Why tho difference in laying out the two sections. CITY MANAGER SULLIVAN said the 40 foot streets are not agreod to by the Planning Commission. Tho contour of Bay View Hills is awaiting the topographical map. Tho Planning Commission told tho people prosent that they wanted to see 60 foot strgets if possiblo, and tho only way the Commission would consider a narrower stroot is if they could not get 60 foot stroots out of it. COUNCILMAN CURRY asked if they 3/20 565 could got any F. H. A. loans on any such layout as a 40 foot street in this area. CITY MANAGER SULLIVAN said she could not answer for the F. H. A. but thoy would hold them to 60 foot streets if pose 'blot and that she believes they will have 60 foot streets in Bay Viow Hills. COUNCILMAN HART asked if the lots in Park Viow Estates are to bo sold through real estate brokers. cm MANAGER SULLIVAN statod that was hor understanding that tho lots be sold through real estate brokers, and the itom of commission is somothing that tho Council will havo to docido on. Tho ordinary commission on improved property is fivo percont, the ordinary commission on vacant land is ton percent, and that this should bo considorod as that is the rulo of their trade. BERNARD BANKE, 533 E. 3rd Stroot, was present and stated that thoro are no laws as far as commission of roal ostate brokers is concerned, but all business mon sell their mer- chandiso at the usual profit, so our trade has settled on _ five percent commission on improved proporty and on unim- proved property ton percent. COUNCILMAN CLGRRE asked if thorn is going to be a standard and ostablishod prico on all these lots, MAYOP MATTHEWS said he wps sure the Council will set the pries according to tho size and loeation of tho lots. COUNCILMEN CURRY asked if the lots would bo on multiple listings. MAYOR MATTHEWS said that thoy would be. Moved by Carrigan, socondod by Curry, that Schomo #4 bo approved subject to revisions necessary after completion of an accurate topographical map. Carriod, all Councilmon present voting aye. CITY MANAG 2 SULLIVAN asked if it would meet with tho approval of the Council if copies of suggostod deed covenants were sent them to be reviowod before submitted 3/20 566 to F. H. A. to make certain that your policy in regard to the subdivision is contained in the deed covenants. The Planning Commission has suggested some and the 1200 square feet exclusive of garage will bo included. MLYOR MATTHEWS said he would like to have a mooting with members of the Planning Commission end possibly the Planning Dept. of the Realty Board and make sure that wo got the right restrictions on this property and that ovoryone is award of what we aro trying to do. CITY MANAGER SULLIVAN said that in order that you have a basis for discussion, with the Attorney's assist- ance we can draw up a preliminary deed covenant and circular- ize it and then everyone can have a chance to add to or subtract from it, and it might be easier to have a sample deed covenant. RESOLUTION NO. 5414 was road, amending Resolution No. 5250 by rescinding the following portion of said resolution: That $47,644.60 be transferred from the Special State Gas Tax Street Improvement Fund to the Street Improvement Fund; that said amount be earmarked and designated as "Special Gas Tax Street Improvement Fund" and that the Special State Gas Tax Street Improvement Fund heretofore existing bo dissolvod and discontinued.

Moved by Hart, seconded by Clarko, that the Resolution be adopted. Carried, all Council - Men present voting aye, 3/20 567 ATTORNEY WARNER statod thoro has boon a roquost for rofund on taxes for the years 1946, 1947, 1948, 1949 end 1950, from the Paradise Valley Sanitarium. Mr. Warner said ho did not know the oxact amount of money but it is around $9,000. The Board of Supervisors on March 14, 1951, through thoir County Council rocommonded a rofund of $17,439.02 out of a roquost of $19,861.30, and wo may have a Sizablo tax rofund to mako. This is tho rosult of some rocont decisions of tho Court in regard to refunds under Suction 214 rogarding religious, hospital and charitablo owned institutions. The Council will no doubt havo to make a decision on this matter before too long, so it is presented for your considoration. ATTORNEY WARNER statod that tho hearing for the protest for tho liquor liconso at 316 Highland Avonuo has boon sot for April 5, 1951 at 2:00 P.M. in tho Court Room. COUNCILMAN HART said that tho Commandor of tho V. F. W. asked that tho Council hold over thoir request for tho use of tho City Park for tho Carnival. CITY MANAGER SULLIVAN statod that Mr. Poulter would like tho City Council to moot with tho City Council of Chula Vista and tho Directors of tho now Irrigation District on March 28, 1951, at 7:30 P.M. Ho will hotify tho Council lator where the mooting will bo hold. CITY MANAGER SULLIVAN said sho rocoivod a roquost from the Lions Club for the use of the City Park for their rogular Fourth of July celobration on tho 3rd and 4th of July. If you wish to grant thom.pormission on tho samo basis as previous years, that thoy furnish a bond for firoworks, a 3/2e 568 resolution can be proparod for that purpose. Movod by Hart, seconded by Curry, that a resolution bo prepared for the Lions Club to use tho City Perk July 3rd and 4th. Carriod, all Councilmen present voting ayo. CITY MANAGER SULLIVAN stated that the Comrades of tho Purple Hoart had requostod pormission for four of thoir mombors to sell purple violets ono day in National City. This is the typo of roquost for which a permit can bo givon if it moots with the policy of the Council. Movod by Curry, seconded by Hart, that the request bo grentod. J. R. HARVEY was presont and stated that tho proceods from this would bo usod for rehabilitation purposes for the disabled veterans of the Purplo Hoart. CITY MANAGER SULLIVAN said it would bo nocoss- ary for the mon to havo somo identification so that she can issuo the permits. MAYOR MATTHEWS asked Mr. Harvey if ho could chock and find out who is the head of tho Purplo Hoart and havo him designate tho four people who aro coming to National City, and notify Mrs. Sullivan. Carriod, all Oouneilmon present voting ayo. OTT! M'dMAGER 5ULT,TVLN said she recoivod a request for 'or - mission to connect to the sower on Division Strout from an aroa in San Diogo. It is at approximatoly 58th and Division and immodiately oast of tho County area "Las Alturas". This is a roquost for connection to the sowor to subdivide the aroa. MAYOR MATTHEWS said ho did not bailove we should con- sidor an aroa of that typo unless thoy wore going to be in Paradiso Hills and pay the rogular chargo that Paradiso Hills will be paying, or socodo from San Diogo and annox to National City. COUNCILMAN CURRY askod why thoy could not bo 3/20 ' 569 served by San Diego sewors. CITY MANAGER SULLIVAN said they cannot bo sorvod on San Diogo trunk linos duo to tho pumping. COUNCILMAN CARRIGfN said ho thought wo should attempt to sorvo the peoplo who aro hors boforo wo go into othor cities. COUNCILMAN CLARKE said ho was not in favor of considoring this roquost. MAYOR MATTHEWS said ho bellovod it would bo safe in stating that if this porson wishos te- bo annoxod to National City that he will bo sorvod. CITY MANAGER SULLIVAN reportod that tho last mooting of tho Disaster Council tho mattor of communications was studied. The communication division is attempting to find a wave longth in tho band dosignod for this purposo wheroby ovory community in the County may havo a standby rocoivor and transmitter to go onto a common wave longth during tho timo of disastor. As it is now some of the cities are on difforent wavo lengths. Tho fire services havo about oight difforont bands so tho communication division is attempting tc work out a common frovuoncy sc that there can bo lnter- ehango during time of disaster. CITY MANAGER SULLIVAN presontod a tentative map of tho sowor plan of Bay Viow Hills. Tho numbor of lots in the 848 acros of Bay View Hills as laid out is 2,074, some of which will bo duploxos. Thoy do not as yot havo their final topo- graphical map. Mr. Smith has made an estimate basod on the information wo havo, which wo know to bo inadequate for final dosign. Batweon tho Bcy Viow Hills and the Crary Housing, basod on tho samo kind of treatment that wo havo for National City, tho income from connoctiwns of the prosont layout would bo $$517,815. Tho cost to Bay View Hills in its 3/20 570 prosont form is higher than most subdivisions bocause it is on tho crown of the hill, so that after the sowers woro in- stallod it would loevo a balance of $83,000 to apply to trunk lino construction. It will roquiro throo trunks for tho whblo area. Mr. Smith has ostimatod the amount of money that would bo required for a control velloy trunk et $25,000. It means that tho land lying outsido of the two projects to bo sorvicod off any of the throo trunks would havo to havo a reimbursement on tho trunk amount toward tho trunk of $8',000 in excess of tho on sight dovolopmont to ropey tho city. This was discussed with Mr. Holliday and Mr. Adams and point - ad out that in the ovont that they woro not developing all of tho 2,074 houses at ono timo that they would bo expected to deposit a sufficient amount of money to covor the cost of tho trunk service to tho tract, which could bo countod against futuro installations as the City was not in tho businoss of furnishing sowers free to proporty ownors. Tho layout of tho tract has some largo distances betwoon areas of houses where sower trunks will go across bocause of tho contour without any houses boing served off of it. The lay- out which thoy now havo has 2.5 lots por acre of tho ontiro tract, which is not regarded as a very economical devolop- i °nt. They ere p]enntr.g on rc is4n7 the ml. i to teet men- 'Je , per aero and losson the distance. These figures aro only tentative based on the information now available. It would take slightly in excoss of 800 additional connections off of the throo trunks to pay for tho cost to tho City of the trunks to come out oven if thorn was no financing from tho Milts Organization. Thoy did not indicate any reluctanco to put up sufficiont money for tho trunk linos. Nothing more 3/20 571 should be done with tho ostimato until another map is filed. They aro inclined to beliovo thoy can widon the stroots. COUNCILMAN CLARKE suggested a roll down stand be obtained and tho maps can be orectod on it go that ovoryono in tho room can see thom as they aro boing discussed. MAYOR MATTHEWS concurred in tho idea and asked•that tho City Manager obtain a stand. CITY MANAGER SULLIVAN prosonted a map showing tontative plans for tho Dog Pound. A yoar ago a survoy was made to determine some area for tho Dog Pound because of tho continual dust and smoke at the prosent location, and no place could be found that was not in a rosidential zone, and tho tidelands was considered. We now hallo wator, sewor and electricity to tho area of the tidolands which had boon previously considered and there is a cement slab already in place noar tho sewor pump house on the tidelands.
