ANNEXATION REQUEST
LANDS ADJOINING LOT I
BLOUKB,COUNTRY CLUB
PARK:
The next item was the communication dated March 26, 1971 from Mr. Louis A. Arata, P.E.,
concerning annexation of lands adjoining Lot I, Block B~ Country Club Park, San Mateo Co.
In answer to Councilman Ahern's question, Director of Public Works Goss remarked that the
parcel of property in question was on the east side of Alida Way.
Councilman STeinkamp moved that we deny the application for the annexation of this property
into the City as has been pointed out by the City Planner that it behooves the City to
look towards a total annexation of that whole land so that it can be orderly planned to
include the streets.
Councilman Ahern commented that, in his opinion, this was not an application but only a
letter to the City Council to which City Planner Pass replied that the matter should be
initiated through the City Council for their denial or approval at this time.
Discussion then followed at which time it was pointed out that other areas had been
annexed tolthe City, the most recent of which was Rotary Plaza, that Alida Way was now the
main thoroughfare in the Country Club Park Subdivison. It was likewise mentioned that an
attempt had been made some years ago to annex all of Country Club Park to the City of
South San Francisco but such an election failed.
Further discussion followed concerning the need for the City to increase its facilities
to these annexed areas, one of which was the pretreatment of sewage; and that an attempt
should be made again to have the whole of the area annexed at one time.
Councilman Ahern then seconded the motion after which Councilman Mammini stated that he
felt the motion as proposed would prejudice the decision of the Local Agency Formation
Commission and which was concurred in by Councilman Bertucelli.
A request was then made that the motion and second be withdrawn and that the matter be
returned to the Planning Commission and staff for study and report.
Councilman Steinkamp stated that he would not withdraw his motion.

The next item was the communication dated March 26, 1971 from the Citizens for Responsible
Government concerning the City's Beautification Program.
At the request of Mr. Robert Albright, President of the Citizens for Responsible Government,
Assistant City Manager Ross read the letter in full after which he replied to each of the
questions that were asked, furnishing the information with regard to the committee which
had been formed, meetings which had been held, amounts which had been spent, the sources
of revenue and the amount of revenue held in this fund. He likewise explained the
future program for the beautification projects.
Discussion then followed at which time Councilman Ahem commented that he had, on occasions,
requested suggestions in this regard but that none had been forthcoming.
Mr. David Friedenberg suggested that a committee be appointed as an active committee for the
Beautification Program, stating that he could not see these monies lying idle and doing
nothing. He then commented on the areas in Westborough which were in need of landscaping
after which discussion took place concerning the purposes for which these monies could
be used.
Councilman STeinkamp suggested that the City's park on Cypress Avenue be given some
attention since it was in a rather run-down condition at this time.
Mr. John Tamburini suggested to the City Council that some attention to the beautificat
of the Marina be given, pointing out that the parking lot was in need of repair, that
revenues were received by the City from those who paid their berth and rental fees and
that they should be entitled to some consideration.
on
Councilman Mammini suggested that the answer might be that this be part of the Master
Plan for the City.
Mayor Borba then requested the City Manager to prepare a quarterly report for public use
on the programs in progress and the money which was being spent.
There being nothing further, Mayor Borba asked if anyone wished to speak under Good
and Wel fare.
At this time, Mr. Peter Frankel, 2293 Delvin Way, brought to the attention of the City
Council that some six weeks' prior, he appeared concerning the construction equipment o~
Piombo Construction Company in that the area in which it was being parked and the oper-
ations of the equipment were of a disturbance and annoyance to the residents in the area.
He commented on the refueling which was taking place during the evening hours and that the
residential properties were suffering damages because of this equipment and its operations.
He likewise mentioned that the equipment was being used in the construction of the roadway
on Sneath Lane and that this equipment was afterwards parked near their homes. He requested
of Council at this time that the equipment be ordered removed.
Councilman Steinkamp commented on the resolution which had been adopted by Council and
which governed and controlled these operations. He questioned the storage of equipment
in the City if the work was being performed in the City of San Bruno.
Councilman Mammini remarked that if the equipment was being used in the construction of
roads in San Bruno, the equipment should be stored in that City and not in South San
Francisco.
Councilman Mammini at this time introduced the resolution entitled: "A RESOLUTION
AUTHORIZING TERMINATION OF GRADING PERMIT ISSUED TO PIOMBO CONSTRUCTION COMPANY (WESTBOROUGH
PARCEL 16~ UNIT 4)"
Mrs. Claudia Duncan, 2590 Gellert Boulevard, requested of Council that Piombo Construction
Company be informed to leave the equipment where it was being used and not in their
residential area.
Discussion then followed concerning the earlier resolution which had been introduced and
adopted by Council as well as the Grading Permit which had been issued to Piombo Con-
struction Company after which Councilman Mammini stated that he had introduced a reso-
lution which would determine whether or not the terms of the permit had been completed
and the permitted yardage removed.
Mr. Joseph McCracken requested to know whether or not the terms of the Permit which had
been issued allowed working on weekends, bringing to Council's attention that trucks in th
area were traveling at excessive speeds.
Mrs. Barbara Bergero, 36 Escanyo Drive, remarked that the removal of equipment from one
residential area to another would be no solution to the problem. She suggested that the
City Attorney and staff determine the status of the permit, the work which was being per-
formed and if it was a violation of the permit. She commented on the noise and vibrations
which their area was suffering because of the construction work on the Westborough
Boulevard Extension.
Roll call vote was as follows: Ayes, Councilmen Patrick E. Ahern, Frank J. Bertucelli,
William A. Borba, F. Frank Mammini and Warren Steinkamp. Noes, none. Absent, none.
Mr. Gordon Bobblitt, 2204 Delvin Way, at this time stated that this equipment has been
bothering residents for some time and that there over a hundred acres in which it could
be parked instead of being parked near a residential area so that the residents could
watch the equipment for the contractor, that it was not the duty of the residents to
watch this equipment.

at which time he indicated his support to Councilman Steinkamp for the position of Mayor.
Mayor-elect Borba replied that he had reason to change his mind, that he would attempt
to do his job and would give the people his best efforts.
Mr. Marie Gagliolo, 760 Grand Avenue, congratulated the City Council on their selection
of Mayor and Mayor Pro Tem, remarked that he felt both would attempt to obtain unity for
the City and suggested that the citizens make constructive criticisms in their discussions
with the City Council.

exchange of ideas and suggestions which would be reviewed and presented to the Board
