The Secretary read a report from the City Engineer, subject being a request
for street vacation of a 15 foot wide strip along the East side of Carlsbad
Boulevard between Redwood and Sequoia, recommending certain requirements, if
the vacation were gr:.nted. The Secretary then st:ted thzt this property is part
of the Palisades Subdivision and approximately 15 feet bought along the east side of that street was acquired by the State when the 101 Freeway went through. Mr. O'Connor, who made the original application for this vacation, bought the
"
property at Tamarack and tlse boulevard and he would like to have the 15 foot strip put to best use. The Secretary brought to the ett2ntion of the Commission
that before they proceed, he felt this matter should be referred to the City
Attorney for an opinion and a title report should be acquired from a title com-
pany because there is a possible cloud on the title and thlt the property may
not revert to the owners who would normally acquire the property but may aevert back to the original subdividers.

relocated.

PAT O'CONNOX, Newport Bench, stnted that he was one of the principals in this
property and that there was B copy of a title search at the Security First
National Bank in Carlsbad. He then suggested another solution to this matter
might be for him to exchange some property on Tamarack Avenue for widening of
that street for this 15 foot sttip, thus avoiding a vacztion. He explained that
the street would actually be 12 feet wider with curb and gutter in this 250 foot block if he were able to acquire the property and put in the improvements.
