The City Manager informed the Council that a prevlous applica- tion hadl been made by A, L. Nevares and the Chief of Police had recommended against this application because of the property being located near the Boys' Club. It was also pointed out that this property is now located in an R-3 Zone which would
prohibit, alcoholic beverages being sold in that location, It -
was moved by Cmn. Robinson and seconded by Cmn. Ledgerwood that

located in the middle of his'new subdivision street. The Dis- trict stated they would do so if the subdivider would put up a
$lOO,OO deposit, The Subdivider refused to put up the deposit
and requested the City to take over the negotiations as it was
a public: street. A copy of a letter addressed to the District
from R. L. Watson was read wherein he informed the District that
he had alppealed to the City since they were the owners of the
property where the valve now rests, and asked that they please
direct ad1 further communications relative to the matter to the
City of Carlsbad as he considered the matter closed. It was
the opinion of the City Attorney that we could demand the Dis-
trict mcwe this valve. It was the mutual feeling of the Council
that since the City was not notified of this relocation of the
valve, i.t was the District's obligation. The City Manager was

could be! worked out.
