tentative map for PM-79-182 of Thomas
J. Callan to create four parcelLs from
one existing parcel on the westside of
Gellert Boulevard directly north of
Westborough Boulevard. The property
consists of 16.2 acres and it is pro-
posed to be developed with a McDonald's
ReStaurant and various commercial
and office uses. When the Planning
Commission had under consideration
the final Parcel Map for this
area, one of the prerequisites was
that the City Engineer examine the
map to determine whether the map was
consistent and in compliance with the
Subdivision Ordinance and with the
State Map Act. The City Engineer did
examine the map and determined that
it was in violation of Section 401 of
the Subdivision Ordinance, which states
"where you have a double frontage lot,
access to one lot must be relin-
quished.'' This was pointed out to
the applicant by the City Engineer.
Subsequently this map was approved by
the Planning Commission on December 9,
1980, with the following conditions;
1) The applicant shall agree to re-
linquish access rights to Parcel G
to either Westborough Boulevard or
Gellert Boulevard and the final map
corrected to indicate this relin-
quishment of access rights; and 2) That
no building permits shall be issued
on parcels G, H or J until the slopes
located along the westside of the
parcels have first been approved
and stabilized in accordance with the
certain requirements of the City
Engineer.
Director of Community Development
Dell'Angela continued by stating
that subsequent to the approval with
the attached conditions, the applicant
filed a letter of appeal on the Planning
Commission's conditions.
An in-depth discussion followed on
the Subdivision Ordinance requirements
for access and the probable traffic

problems that could occur.
Mayor Acosta invited those wishing
to speak on behalf of the appellant
to step to the dais.
Theodore V. Tronoff, Civil Engineer,
representing the appellant Mr. Thomas
J. Callan, Jr., presented to Council
three maps of the subject area, two
of which had been recorded previously,
one in 1967 and the other in 1974.
The map which was recorded in 1974
was in violation of the Subdivision
Ordinance.
City Engineer Yee explained that when
the map was recorded in 1974 the City
had not been aware of the violation
and had not become aware until they
were in the process of revising the
Subdivision Ordinance.
Mr. Tronoff continued to explain
that the third map had been recorded
in 1978 and that there had been access
rights on two sides. He further reiter-
ated that the City had never asked that
access rights for either access be
relinquished.
Acting City Attorney Rogers requested
that Council not equate access rights
with the construction of driveways.
Mr. Tronoff expressed concern that
the City should examine the sections
the Subdivision Ordinance regarding
egress and ingress rights to be sure
the City wants the provision to stay
as it is presently written.
Councilwoman Teglia questioned the
enforcement of this particular section
of the Subdivision Ordinance, dealin9
with the relinquishment of access rights,
when it had gone undetected for so
many years.

it could create a problem.
An in-depth discussion followed on
the alternate possibilities aVail-
able for rectifying past errors and
clarifying the standing of the City
in relation to this section of the
Subdivision Ordinance. Consideration
of amending the Subdivision Ordinance
was also discussed.
Further discussion followed on the
stabilization of the slopes.
Mr. Carlos R. Hulse, Attorney at
Law, representing Mr. Thomas J.
Callan, Jr., explained that the
appellant was not saying that the
City Engineer and the City Attorney
were wrong in not approving this
Parcel Map as is, however, my client
feels that the modification asked for
was the same as the City requested.
"We are not here tonight to ask for
a Use Permit or to put in a road,
what we are requesting is the Council's
authorization to correct an error in
overlooking the section making these
stipulations when approving the previous
maps. This correction could be made
by changing the lot line of one of
the lots."
Discussion followed among Council as
to the action they could take at this
time.
Mr. Thomas J. Callan, Jr., 2790
Junipero Serra Blvd., Daly City, in-
formed Council that he had written a
letter to City Manager Birkelo, dated
12/6/80, outlining what was being
discussed this evening. In that letter
he had proposed that at the City Manager's
earliest convenience he would like to
meet with him and discuss the possi-
bility of considering the City Council

amending or changing that particular
section of the Subdivision Ordinance
pertaining to access relinquishment.
He continued by saying that he be-
lieved what Mr. Tronoff had stated
earlier that the Council had adopted
and passed this particular provision
in the past. He requested that
this matter be continued and that
in the interim the City consider
amendments to the Subdivision
Ordinance and that he be allowed
to meet with City Staff to discuss
the feasibility of the item.
City Manager Birkelo explained that
at the forthcoming Study Session the
City Council will have before them
a redraft of the Subdivision Ordinance
for consideration.
Councilwoman Teglia requested that
some rationale for this particular
provision be developed.
City Manager Birkelo explained that
he had been in error and that the
Subdivision Ordinance would not be
heard at the forthcoming Study Session
due to the fact that the Notices had
been sent out and that the item was
not included.
Discussion followed as to when the
Ordinance could be discussed and the
length of time this particular Parcel
Map could be continued, before being
returned to the Planning Commission.
Consensus of Council to hear the
Subdivision Ordinance redraft as
a priority item as soon as possible.
Discussion followed as to the various
timetables that could be affected by
the continuance of this item and the
length of time needed to consider all
aspects.
Consensus of Council to continue the
item for 60 days.

Mayor Acosta declared the Public

Director of Community Development
Dell'Angela explained that this was
an appeal on the decision of the
Planning Commission to approve a
Site Plan for the proposed McDonald's
fast food restaurant on the westside
of Gellert Boulevard north of Westborough
Boulevard. He continued, by explain-
ing that Council on 3/19/80 had approved
Use Permit No. 79-525 to construct
this particular resturant on site.
Condition 3 of this approval stated
that "no Building Permit could be
issued on McDonald's site until a
traffic study was prepared and revised
Site Plan and Landscaping Plan was
approved by the Planning Commission."
On December 9, 1980 a Site Plan was
submitted to the Planning Commission
and was approved subject to certain
conditions, approval remains to be
given on the exterior appearance of
the building and the Landscape Plan
and the Sign Program.
Director of Community Development
Dell'Angela continued to explain that
for clarification the Use Permit is
not being appealed the only thing
being appealed is the actual layout of
the site in terms of the location of
the building, the location of parking
spaces and the dimensions of driveways.
Mayor Acosta invited those wishing
to speak on behalf of the appellant
to step to the dais.
Mr. John J. Lank, Attorney at Law,
5172 Mission Street, San Francisco,
representing Mr. Mulgrew, requested
that a ruling be on the record in

people will have to say in relation
to this matter.
Acting City Attorney Rogers explained
that the decision to permit this Use
on this particular location was made
last year and the appeal time on such
an item is a 10 day period of time,
the decision on the Site Plan which
was made within the current appeal
period is what is being considered this
evening. Therefore, the only item
to be considered this evening is that
which was considered by the Planning
Commission on December 9, 1980.
Director of Community Development
Dell'Angela explained the previous
actions taken by the Planning Commission
and the Council, which had resulted
in the approval of the Use Permit with
the attached conditions.
An in-depth discussion followed as
to the appropriateness of discussing
whether this was the proper site
for a McDonald's restaurant at this
time.
Mr. John Lank explained that Items
No. 8 and No. 9 cannot be separated
and that if there should be a relocation
of any lines in these particular
subdivision maps then there should be
a reconsideration of the Use Permit
that was granted. He then requested
that if the Council were to continue
Item No. 8 then this item should also
be deferred for further consideration.
Acting City Attorney Rogers explained
that whatever the decision is regarding
the Site Plan, that McDonald's cannot
begin construction until the Parcel
Map is completed and approved.
Discussion followed regarding the
possibility of the Site Plan being
changed and consequences which could
arise.

Councilwoman Teglia requested

Chief of Police Datzman explained that
the Police Department had spent
considerable time on various aspects
of the Traffic Study, prepared by
Mr. Barnard Johnson, one specifically
was page 2 of the report which stated
that, "if possible existing problem
locations should be corrected or at
least not aggravated." The City Staff
agreed that in the area of Westborough
Boulevard this would cause aggravation
of an already very congested situation
on Westborough Boulevard. Chief of
Police Datzman continued by pointing
out the configuration on page 10 of
Mr. Johnson's report which illustrated
a heavy incidence of traffic accidents
over the past 3 years. He continued
by stating that in looking into the
future there were considerations of
various alternatives which could be
acted upon due to the fact that the
traffic conditions would increase in
the next 5 to 10 years. One of the
alternatives is represented by
signalizing Gellert Boulevard and
provides the best possible access to
that property area being considered.
Councilman Damonte expressed his
concerns with the traffic problems
on Westborough Boulevard, Gellert
Boulevard and the surrounding areas.
He continued by questioning the types

Councilman Damonte inquired if the
gas spill, which took place on the
300 block of Grand Avenue and which
is visible, was going to be corrected.
Associate Civil Engineer Mike Sattel,
explained that at the present time there
had been no deterioration in the pave-
men due to the gas spill. He continued
to explain that when the spill occurred
the Fire Department responded quickly
and washed the area down. The only
damage, which was slight, was to the
first 1/16 of an inch of the asphalt
and felt that unless the asphalt were
to start to ripple there was no reason
at the present to replace the asphalt.
Further discussion ensued regarding
the grates surrounding the trees,
the benches, newspaper racks and
the awning which had been installed
at Rousso's Apparel.
Councilwoman Teglia explained that
there were a number of items on
Grand Avenue that did not meet with
her approval: 1) the bricks across
the sidewalk on the 200 block of
Grand Avenue, at the far end the
bricks are at least 1/2 inch above
the curb; 2) the lack of parking
bumps; 3) that the newstands were
located everywhere except where they
were designated to be; 4) that
at the parking lot entrance on the
200 block one pole was out and the
City's crew came and removed it,
she further investi9ated other poles
and found that they were extremely
loose; 5) that there was a temporary
cover in front of the Bombay Club
for the base of the light standard;
