CORRESPONDENCE: .
a. Letter dated hgust 21, 1958 addressed to the Council from John P. Hard'isty,
324 Pine Avenue, stating he wished to call to the Council's attention the fact
that properties in the southeast corner of Pine and Lincoln Streets, which is
located directly across the street from his property, are encroaching upon the
City Street.. The encroachment is in the form of a garage building and a fence,
said structures being in a bad state of repair, unsightly, and damaging to his
own property, The City Manager informed the Council the offending property owner
had been contacted and he had agreed to demolish the garage and clean up the
I I
unsightly fence and surrounding area, however, he is contemplating asking for
street vacation even though the garage is,removed. The City Manager was
instructed to inform Mr. Hardisty in this matter.
b. Letter dated August 27, 1958, from the Carlsbad Union School District
Board of Trustees, expressing their gppreciation for the splendid cooper-
~ ation they had received from the City Engineering and.Public Works Department!
and any others involved, in the preparations that have been and are being mad4
preceding the openlng of.schoo1. They further stated they wished to commend
the Council and others involved in the requirements placed on new subdivision:
for sidewalks, due to the transportation facilities being severely taxed by tl
necessity of transporting all kindergarten children to school because of the
lack of sidewalks throughout a large part of Carlsbad, and hoped the City wou:
continue encouraging the building of sidewalks throughout the Carlsbad area.
6. ORAL COMMUNICATIONS:
There were no oral communications. <
7 . PLANNING :
a. Review of activities of Industrial Coordinating Council. The Mayor requestc
this matter be deferred until some future date.
b. Civic Center Master Plan - deletion of Zahler Property. Letter dated Augusl
27, 1958, addressed to the City Council from Mrs. Alice E. Greenwood requestil
that'the City release her property from the Civic Center Master Plan as she hi
received several gratifying offers far the sale of her property on Elm Avenue,
Letter dated September 2, 1958, addressed to the Mayor and the Council from
Mrs. Alice E. Greenwood stating she wished to rescind her request that her
property be removed from the Civic Center Master plan.
,Letter dated September 1, 1958, addressed to the City Council from Aleatha
W. Vaughn, stating on July 1, 1958, she had written the City Council requestil
that her property on Pi0 Pic0 Drive either be purchased by the City or be
removed from the Master Park Plan; on July 7, 1958, she had received'a letter
from the City stating the Council had reaffirmed their previous policy regard,
the purchase of her property, however, nothing has been done about the remova:
of her property from the Master Park Plan. Due to her property being includec
in the Master Plan it has repeatedly blocked the sale of the South portion
of her land, which she wishes to sell, and feels this is a very unjust situat
and entirely unnecessary on the part of the City. Mrs. Vaughn further stated
she would appreciate immediate action on this matter.
Memorandum from the Planning Commission to the City Council dated September 2
1958, was read stating it was the opinion of the Commission that 'the Zahl.er
property should not be excluded from the Master Civic plan, and setting forth
their reasons upon which the decision was based. They further stated they
wished Mr. Fennel to represent the Commission at the meeting of the Council
when this matter would be discussed.
MR. FENNEL, stated the Planning Commission was most appreciative of the
Council's cooperation in referring the subject matter to the commission.
Thorough discussion had been given this matter by the Commission, including
full symp-athy with the Zahlers as well as the City's desire and need to develc
the Civic Center according to the accepted Master Plan. It was the hope of tt
Commission that every reasonable effort would be made to carry out the goals
for Carlsbad's future development.
'.'.: MRS:EDWARD ZAHLER informed the Council they could not sell their property due
to the fact that it was included in the Master Plan.
The Mayor asked for comments from the members of the Council. Cmn, Ledgerwooc
stated he was on the committee at the time the property, WBS purchased for the
parking lot adjoining the City Hall and at that time they never felt that any
of 'the property in that area would be prohibitive, but felt the appraisal- of t
au 0
Zahler property made it prohibitive for the City to purchase at this time
and this property could be excluded from the Master Plan. Mayor Lough
stated that according to the appraisal, the land itself would be approxi-
. '.mateTy $12,000 per acre of land. Cmn. Helton stated he felt if the Zahler's
property were excluded it would be setting a precedent, and the Council
should look towards the future .development of Carlsbad. Cmn. Grober stated
he did not feel you should take the privilege away from anyone who wished to se1.1 their property - if they wanted to sell they should be allowed to sell.
If the new purchase]: wished to sell, perhaps they would sell back to the City.
Cwn. Sonneman stated the Zahlers have requested their property excluded
from the Master Plan and felt it should be excluded. Mayor Lough asked Commissioner Fennel if the Planning Commission were aware of the appraisal
of this property, and Commissioner Fennel informed the Mayor the Planning
Commission did not consider the financial aspects of this plan.
The Mayor informed FIr. Fennel that perhaps the Council has failed in not
having a liaison between the Council and the Planning Commission and work
more closely with the Planning Commission; he would certainly not be in
favor of paying $12,,000 per acre for unimproved land of the Zahler's prop-
erty. Mayor Lough further informed Mr. Fennel the Council appreciated his
appearing before the Council.
MRS. ALEATHA VAUGHN stated she did not want to sell all of her property,
only the South portion; her water bill was $31.00 this month; she was
physically unable to keep up all of the property; she had four parties who
wanted to build Cal-Vet homes and could not get a loan due to the fact that
this property was included in the Master Park Plan. She felt she was being
deprived of her rights.
y Mil,* PAT ZAHLER stated he wgsked to point out to the Council the appraisal
made on the property was made by an appraiser appointed by the Council. They
had tried to obtain financing on their property for additional buildings
and had run into the same situation as Mrs. Vaughn.
MR. DYCKE stated he would rather see development of houses than a Master
Plan. He had no interest h-this project, but the growth goes with the City.
MR. JACK KEENAN stated he wished to compliment the present Council on
respectih&requests made by individuals; he had attended the last meeting
of the Planning Commission and heard one of the Commissioners state that
one individual should not be allowed to come in and upset the Master Plan.
MR. M. W. JARVIE stated that he felt a meeting of the Planning Commission
and the Council should be held; he was also in accord with Mr. Dycke that
we should not hinder anyone -from doing what they want with their- property.
Mr. Jarvie also stated the records will show that all the Commissioners
were not in agreement in this matter.
MR. DYCKE informed the Council he felt the Plznning Commission was doing
a good job - he had no objections to the Planning Commission, but felt the
City should progress.
Cwn. Sonneman stated she felt the Park area was very essential and every
consideration should be given to the Vaughn property, as this could be one
of the finest assets to the City, as well as profitable.
Mayor Lough informed the Council they were faced with the decision of ex-
cluding the Zahler Property from the Master Civic Center plan. Cmn. Helton
asked if a notice wo.uld have to be published in order to amend the Master
Plan. The City Attorney informed the Council a notice would have to be
published and a hearing held by the Planning Comlission and a hearing would
have to be held by t:he Council. Cmn. Ledgerwood moved that the City Attorney
be instructed to pre;pare a Resolution of Intention to exclude the Zahler
property from the Master Civic Plan. Seconded by Cmn. Sonneman. Four ayes,
Cmn. Helton voting "no", motion carried. Cmn. Helton stated that he hoped
that some day the City would be able to purchase the Zahler property for
the Civic Center plan.
MRS. VAUGHN stated that the South part of her property would make a beautiful
spot for a library.

hearing objections or protests on the proposed work, or the extent of the
assessment district, or on the proposed grades under the resolution of
intention, Resolution No. 422, providing for the construction of certain
sanitary sewers on Magnolia Avenue 388.55' west of Adams Street to Highland

Letter dated August 23, 1958, from Joseph and Nellie Bertino protesting the
-. proposed sewer until such time as the hazardous conditions referred to in hi,
letter of July 14, 1958, have been remedied and due to the fact that it does
not appear practicable to connect because of their location, and the pro-
hibitive major changes in plumbing which would be required.
I I
I
Letter dated September 2, 1958, from John R. Keenan requesting to be exclude1
from this sewer project as he did not feel it necessary to include him in th
assessment since his house faces Tamarack and should be included in a projec
along this street; his house is considerably lower than Adams; his property is close to 400 feet on Adams and takes up approximately one-fourth of the
length of the street, and felt it would be discriminatory to expect one home
to pay such a large proportion of the assessment. He further stated he woull
be very happy to cooperate with,the City on any plans that they may have for
proposed line along Tamarack.
A petition protesting Assessment District No. 4-1958 signed by 14 protestant
was read, stating they believed the highest and best use of their properties
is for rural homesites with large lots which are and can be adequately servec
by septic tanks and lines and other means on each individual property; the SI
in this area is ideal for the use of septic tanks and lines and readily abso.
all moisture without any danger to the health, safety and welfare of the
subject property and is one means of conserving water.
The Mayor asked if any of the Protestants or their representatives desired
to be heard in support of any such protests?
JOHN H. KIEFER, 1274 Magnolia Avenue, stated he bought his home because it
was in a rural district; he acquired this property approximately three years
ago primarily for the purpose of spending his.retirement in: he realized that I
I
eventually this area would be improved; and to his knowledge his sewer had
caused no trouble to the neighbors.
BARBARA L. HAYES stated she had drawn a diagram representing the area of the
property owners on Magnolia who had protested on the petition; if the Counci:
.is considering this project she would like the Council to-consider deleting
this portion of the area proposed to be assessed. She pointed out there werc
only three property owners on Magnolia who had requested sewers, and they we:
located on the corner of Adams and Magnolia.
3.U b
JOHN R, KEEN.M,~O~O Tamarack stated he is getting bitter; plans like this make
his hair stand.on end; he had voted against incorporation, however, that .
issue had been forgotten. He had moved away from a large city mainly be-
cause of such assessments being imposed and had moved to Carlsbad in order
to 1 ive in a rural area.
H.4RRY MILLER, 366 Grand Avenue, stated the property Owners on the north side
of Grand Avenue have adequate sewers from a private line running down to
Washington Street.
A map of the proposed assessed district was presented to the Council for
their review.
MRS, JONES, 1149 Magnolia, stated they have a seepage in their .basement.
The seepage is corning from 40' to .loo' above their property. She had
received a notice from the Health Department regarding this matter; and
an investigation had been made which showed the drainage is coming from
the hill; and up to date they had spent over $200.00 to try to correct this
matter.
DON DACKINS, 3730 Adams, stated he had moved into a new home a little over
2 year ago and had had trouble with his septic tank for the past few months;
his neighbor had moved in his home only 8 months ago and they have already
had trouble; the soil where he lives is not good; the Health Department had
informed him he cou1.d not install another septic tank. He had had a test
made of the water draining into his yard and it showed bacteria; this- seep-
'age has affected the footings of his house, His septic tank was 12 feet deep.
MRS. JONES stated that Mr. Williams dug 20 feet deep and still hit hard pan.
Mayor Lough stated he believed the top soil was deeper on Highland; he pointed
out that if part of the are2 is elimin,tedthe front footage cost would be in-
creased; at the present time the Engineer had estimated the cost to run
$3.60 per front foot:. The Mayor asked the Engineer of Work to please ad-
vise the City Council what per cent of the toEal area to be assessed for
the improvement is represented by written protests or objections filed with
the City Clerk. The Engineer of Work reported that written protests and
objections had been filed with the City Clerk by owners of 33.76% of the
total area to be assessed for the improvement.
Discussion was--given by the Council as to the exclusion of the properties
protesting from the proposed assessment district. Cmn. Grober stated the
correct method of determining this exclusion would be to have a core hole
test made to see how thick the top soil was. Cmn. Ledgerwood stated that
this is the cheapest estimate they had received on any of the assessment
districts, and yet they had received the most protests; he felt the property
owners should reconsider their-protests as it would be much more expensive
to have an extension at a later date.
BARBARA L. HAYES informed the Council she had had her secretary call the
Engineering Department as late as last Friday as to the number of lineal
feet of sewers to be constructed; and that the secretary informed her she
was laughed at and did not receive the information asked for.
The Mayor informed M:rs. Hayes he wished to apologize on behalf of the
Engineering Department's alleged discourtesies.
The City Engineer requested permission to ask Mrs. Hayes who the party was
in the Engineering Dlepartment that had talked with her secretary. Mrs.
Hayes stated she did not know. The City Engineer asked Mrs. Hayes if she
would please check this matter for him.
The City Manager suggested the matter be continued in order for the Engineer-
ing Department to modify the assessment district, and present the matter
to the Council at the next meeting. The Mayor stated he felt the Council
should go along with the suggestion of the Manager and continue Ehis matter.
It was moved by Cmn. Helton and seconded by Cmn. Ledgerwood that the hearing
be continued until the next regular meeting of September 16, 1958, and the
I
matter be referred back to the Engineering Department in order for them to
review and-modify the assessment district, giving due regard to the protestil
parties appearing orally and the written protests received. All ayes, motiol
carried. Cmn. Helton stated that perhaps some of the property owners would
like to withdraw their protests as an extension of the sewer at a later date
would be more costly.
b. Request for weed abatement program - Robert Bartol. The-City Manager Info:
the Council he had received an oral request from Mr. Robert Bartol, 5310
Carlsbad Boulevard, regarding the lot adjoining his property which was causil
a fire hazard due to the weeds. The City Manager was instructed to have the

to consolidate all suits. The Mayor asked the City Attorney if the City of
Oceanside would convey an undivided 112 interest in the 12 acres to the City
of Carlsbad, and let the chips fall where they may, would this interfere' wit'
these law suits. The City Attorney stated it would not. After considerable
discussion, it was moved by Cmn. Helton and seconded by Cmn. Ledgerwood that
