Works Goss stated that the subdivision conforms to the subdivisio~ ordinance. Most of
the drainage, he stated, w~s in o~der. He then remarked on the drainage in the unlined
ditch that would camac severe erosion,this being in the neighborhood of the school prop-
ert~ and that if it were allowed to go through in this respect, a severe maintenance
problem would exist. Another problem, he state~, wm~ with respect to the Xe~al~ ~erviee
street in the vicinity of Junip~ro Serfs Boulevard, stating that he had spoken to the
su~ivider in this regard. City Manager McOlmng stated that Mr. Goss had covered every-
thing pretty well but that all the features had not ~een explored by the Engineer. He
remarkm~ that the service road would be advamtageoas especially for emargency vehicles
having to go from one area to another by having this service road. He further remarked
that the service road could well be used by pam~nts going to and from school areas.
He said that the California Golf Club would object to the use of their property for ro~d
purposes.
It ~ suggested by City Manager McClung that the matter be laid over for a week or so
until a ~ could be made. John ~ree~, mea~er of the Plamning C.~=~ssion, spoke from
the a~iience stating that two ma~ers of the Planning C~a~ission ha~ expressed their
views re~arding this service road. George B~werth, another member of the Planning Com-

nm exists in Winston Manor regarding the crossing of children on Hickey Boulevard.
Leo E~e~'stated that the School Board ~ r~dy to work with the City in sharing the
coet ~f e~rr~ting this situation. Couneilma~ ~ r~marke~ that a former agreement
eximt~ in t~ Sterling Sml~Livision area Se~ t~e sml~Livi~er and the School Board

~rini s~s~ed that a st~ly be ma~e betl~aem the City a~i School officials. Councilman
~ait~ stx~e~ that he ~ looked at the map ar~ had been over the area, concurring that
service roe~s are needed in sc~e areas. Hewever, he stated he could not see the advan-
tage of a service road in this subdivisiou. He stated that it seemed that the layoat
of this subdivision w~s good and would not like to see a service road unless it w~s nec-
sssal~y.
Councilman Bracco spoke on the cost of developing a road through unincorporated areas,
concurring with Councilman Smith ou his explanation of the subdivision pattern. John
Breed stated that a service road is to go aroun~ a subdivision not through it and that
future plans are ~Ang made at this time. Councilman Noonan stated that the problem
has becc~e knotty and involved, stating that John Breed an~ George Bosworth were sincere
in their convictions. ~Ho~mver~ he stated, that & service road did not seem feasible and
that road should be planned to serve the overall l~ople iu the neighborhood.
Mr. Chris MeKeon, subdi~vider, remarked that the original map had been presented to the
Planning Core.mission some two months ago. He had requested Mr. Breed and Mr. Bosworth
to m~ a view of the property but that they were bu~y at the t~ and could not do it.
It wa~ then referred to a ccmmittee. He remarked that the service road w~s not feasible
an~ ~ fantastic. Ne said that he wo~ lika ts ~i~ out ~ of the problems that
-~,xld ~e encountered with this service road. ~e w~mt on to explain the removal of prop-
erty in the National Cemetery which would be necessary should the service road be desired
from ~ickey Boulevmr~ to Sheath Lane. Ne referred to a California Golf CI~
they re~ rk~i that they wo~ld not give up any of their property for such a service road.
Ne further e~ined the necessary fill and ~emeval of dirt that would have to be done
to fill in the gullies. He said that reco~aer~atiens comld be obtained from any city
in which t~e~ built a subdivision relative to the type of work that was done by his con-
cern. He further explained the added taxes that wo~ld be enjoyed by the city through
the develolmaeut of this pre~erty. He stated that the service road would serve less
than two hundred homes. He also said that the Barrett & Hilp interests had abandoned
the develo~nt that they had started, that he Mad an option to purchase the Barrett
and Hilp property.
After a lengthy discussion, Mr. McKeon said that he would lika to get approval of the
tentative map in the interests of tim~, that the engineer could work out the problems
after the tentative map had been accepted. Counci~n N~onan asked Mr. McKeon that if
the council could show that a service roa~ wa~ feasible or necessary, would he be will-
ing to go along and change it to which he replied he would. Councilman Noonan then
asked Mr. McEeon if it would meet with his approval to w~it ten days if Mr. Goss, Mr.
Breed and Mr. Bosworth could bring in some final results. He stated that it must be
within ten ~ays. Councilman Noonan then asked City Attorney Lyons if the request of
Mr. MeKeon w~s iu order regarding the teutativ~ map, that if the city approved it and
found that a service road was needed, would this be iu order to ~,~ke the subsequent
c~uge. City Attorney Lyons stated that this was ~ a tentative map and that the final
map would govern the final action of the council. He would reQusst that a letter be
sent to the City and filed with the City Clerk by Mr. McKeou relative to the service
road that should it be found to be necessary that it would be done.
Discussion was then held by members of the City Council and the McKeon interests. After
