He stated that he is negotiating with the San Diego Gas I(c Electric Company for a small parcel of land across the highway, which, if the deal goes through, will be developed as a business district.

The tentative master street plan was consulted md proposed streets for that area studied, Comm, Sutton pointed out that a master plan is not binding until the streets are dedicated or offered for dedication, The land involved is a portion of Tract 255, Thum Lands, presently zoned E-2. It was suggested that Mr. Ploore, Hr. Edwards and Hr, Curtis, another interested owner in the area, write a letter outlin- ing what they would like to have done in the way of future streets. Corn'. Sutton suggested that the City Attorney be asked whether it is possible to establish and hold a street position, and what can be done to assure the future owners of the property that the street placement will be there-. .-.I. ~ The recommendation from the Civic Center Site Committee was reviewed, Several objections were raised to the site as a Civic Center, although the majority of members felt it would be a suitable site for a fire house and police station, Corm, Baumgartner stated he believed fire, police and city offices should be in one location for economy in building and staffing, and for the convenience of the citizens'. Fire Chief Hardin stated he believed tb present site is entirely unsuitable on account of the close proximity of churches and schools, Other sites suggested by members were the land now owned by the Water Company in the Industrial Tract, or somewhere in the Tamaraok area, After considtipable discussion, -2- Comm, Stringer moved that the recommendation of the Civic Center Site Committee that a site on Boosevelt Street, described as Lot 33, Seaside Lands, be considered as- a site for fire, police and city buildings, be accepted insofar as temporary police and fire stations are concerned, but that the Commission feels that the civic center site would require mrther study', Seconded by Comm, Gronseth. Four ayes, one nay (Baum- gartner), motion carried, Comm. Gronseth stated for the record that he voted for the location for the fire and police stations on the proposed site on Boosevelt Street because no other location was submitted, but does not believe that the location of the fire and police department at that location will be gatisfactory to the majority of' the people of the community, Fire Chief Hardin stated he has some ideas in regard to getting someone to buy some land, when a site has been selected by the City, aad build buildings to be rented to the City, probably on an option-to-buy basis , Comm, Stringer suggested that the Harbor Committee be empowered to plan the zoning and the streets for the submerged and adjacent land to the proposed boat harbor, since they are close to the project, and then come to the Planning Commission with their recommendations. He stated he felt this would result in saving of tine and effort for the Commission, Comm, Sutton stated he believed requests for any planntng of streets or zoning should come from the residents themselves, as that neighborhood has been disturbed by several things lately, such as the Thacher subdi- vision plan and the request for reclassification of a portion of the Cappe' property for sign puI*poses, and would probably resist almost any proposal at this point unless it originated with one of the property owners in the area. Max Ewald outlined briefly the Sm Diego Gas 8e Electric Company's plans for dredging, and urged that immediate thought be given to planing of a street around the north shore, etc', Comm.
