Traffic Committee Report on matters referred: 58 -7 -1C. On the request of the cafe on Carmel Street for a time limit zone on Carmel between Marsh and Higuera, the Traffic Committee feels that some restriction is necessary but that present conditions would not justify zoning the entire block. It is therefore recommended that the .Council authorize a 150' foot one and one -half hour time limit zone 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., Sundays and Holidays excepted, on the east side of Carmel running in a southerly direction from Higuera Street. Excluding the ramp for the service station at the corner, this would leave approximately four car spaces for restaurant customers. Introduction of Resolution No. 409 (195$ Series).

On the request of Paul Davis for city maintained direc- tional signs pointing in the diredtion of the Sleep Off the High- way Motel, to be installed at the corner of Marsh and Higuera, the Traffic Committee feels that such signs should be installed 1 back to back at that location which would be the southwest corner. However, it appears that the desirable location for such signs would be within the State Division of Highways.right- of -way, and if the Council concurs, we would like to have Mr.' Romero contact the Division of Highways to see if permission can be secured for installing such signs. Recommendation of the Traffic Committee approved on motion of'Nels Beck, seconded by J. Barry Smith. 58 -7 -3C. We understand that :there will be a letter request from the Baptist Church for a street light directly in front of the church on Johnson Avenue. There is presently a light slightly to the west of the church and directly opposite the parking lot entrance. After checking with the P•G & E Company, both the Traffic Committee and the company feel that this is a better lo- cation for the light than in front -of -the church since the church has its own lighting on the front of the building. However, it is felt that a different type of refractor would serve the purpose better than the one installed at present, and if the Council has no objection, . we would like authority from Mr. Romero to order this refra ctof "changed. This should -throw more light onto the parking lot entrance. Recommendation approved on motion of J. Barry Smith, seconded by 1 Nels Beck. 3.
