"It appears that this will require the installation of a

main. Royal Inns should have their engineer contact this
office so that a study can be made of this proposed installa-
tion.
A study should also be made for the disposition of storm and
roof water to the pipe and ditch lines adjacent to South
Airport Boulevard. The method of handling this water should
be shown on the plans. It
City Planner Pass then read an Interoffice Memorandum from John E.
Hoffman, Landscape Specialist:
"The swimming pool-sauna bath facility oocupies space
which could be devoted to landscaping. Since the plans of
the proposed complex manifest a critical shortage of land-
scaping, it is recommended that the Comm:lission approve UP-82
upon the condition that the applicant eliminate the said
pool-bath facility, and devote the square footage of the
facility to additional landscaping. It is further recommended
that the specific location of the additional landscaping be
subsequently referred to the Commission's Architectural Com-
mittee for determinationQu

Present for the applicant was Mr. George E. Hauk of the Architec-
tural Department of Royal Inns of America, IncQ, 4855 North Harbor
Drive, San Diego, California, agent for the applicants.
There being no one else further to speak for or against the request,
Chairman Boblitt declared the public hearing on this matter closed,
and solicited comments from the Commissioners.
Commissioner Rosati asked the applicant if he could agree on the
requirements as set by the Landscape Specialist in regard to the
swimming pool and the sauna bath.
Mr. Hauk answered that they would agree but that they would try to
obtain lands from the Valcar Corp. in front of the project to make
up for the alleged shortness of landscaping. They intended to
come back before the Commission at a later date to have the swimming
pool and the sauna bath added.
Commissioner Rosati stated that the C1luestion coula. well be if the
swimming pool should be inclua.ed or excludea. as apart of the total
landscaping. He felt it was a part of it and would blend in well
with the actual landscaping, and that it was not just an accessory
structure. Such a body of water fitted in well and was a very
essential part ofa motel.
A short discussion followed during which several commissioners
agreed upon the essence of a swimming pool for a motel and that it
could be considered a basic part of the total landscaping. Mr.
Hauk agreed and stated that if the company could aCC1luire the
necessary portion of the Valcar lands it would come back for the
swimming pool and the sauna bath as they belonged to a motel. He
further wished to introduce a letter the Valcar Corp. sent them
in regard to the lease of land, which would become subject to a
final approval by P. G. & E. who owned the right of way of the
subject lands.
Mr. Hauk thereupon handed said letter to Mr. Pass who read it into
the record as follows:
UDear Mr. Gagesian: I enclose for your signature a copy of
our Master Concession Agreement and our Hotel Concession
Agreement.
For and in consideration of your execution of these agree-
ments, the Valcar Cor~oration will agree to an assignment
of our lease with Pacific Gas and Electric to the Royal Inns
of America, Inc. cevering that certain piece of property lo-
cated on South Air~ort Baievard, So~th San Francisco. The
assignment shall, of course, be subject to approval by P.G.&E.
As a further consideration for the assignment of the afore-
mentioned lease, Royal Inns ef America, Inc. shall furnish
the Valear Corporation with a minimmm of fifteen parking
spaces on the grounds of the new hotel to be built adjacent
to the Pacific Gas and Electric property previously referred
to. In ad.dition, it shall prov:tde the Valcar Corp. with a
small booth in the lobby of that hotel for the purpose of
operating an exclusive rent-a-car concession. That exclusive
concession shall be subject to all the terms of the afore-
mentioned Hotel Concession Agreement except that there shall
be no payment in considerati0n there.of.u

Commissioner Gardner asked if the applicant would provide the
pumping station mentioned. Mr. Pass answered that this would
be provided by the applicant at his expense.
Commissioner Zlatunich then asked the applicant if he would go
on record as being willing to landscape according to the wishes
of the Commission and provide the necessary lands for this. Mr.
Hauk stated that his company would so provide.
Commissioner Rosati then stated he must consider the pool as a
part of the landscaping but that he would like to see some extra
landscaping done in the front of the project on the present
Valear lands.
There being no further comments by any of the other Commis-
sioners, Chairman Boblitt declared the q'U.estion.ing closed and

Subdivision map of Cabot, Cabot, & Forbes Co., representing the
subdivision of an ap~roximately 20-acre parcel of land, located
at the northeasterly corner of Allerton Avenue and East Grand
Avenue, in the M-2-H District, into 4 lots..
City Planner Pass react the following recommendations of his office
with UPA-2o, to wit:
"The proposed subdivision meets the minimum requirements of
the Subdivision Map Act, and the Subdivision Ordinance of
the City of South San Francisco. The sai subdivision would
produce four well-designed, but irregular y shaped industrial
lots. The non-rectilinera shape of the ject parent parcel
is primarily responsible for the noted irregularity in the
shape of the proposed lots.. This. irregularity, however,will
not preclude the development of the said lots with physical
plants which are congruous with other projects in the Cabot,
Cabot and Forbes Industrial Park. Furthermore, the configura-
tion of the proposed lots would not adversely affect traffic
circulation. It is the intent of the subdivider to ultimately
merge the remaining lands of his parent parcel with the
adjoining lands of Swift &,Co., and to resubdivide the
resultant parcel into several industrial lots.
The above factors require the City Planner to recommend that
the Planning Commission approve the tentative map under con-
sideration, subject to the requirements of the reporting
department heads."

Louis H. Goss, to wit II
