1. Mayor Clay P. Davidson suggested to the City Council the possibility of
acquiring property and constructing a service road adjacent to the 101
Freeway south from Marsh Street to the Madonna Road, this service road to
.run on the westerly side of the 101 Freeway. -The purpose of the road would
be to divert traffic from having to cross at the Madonna Road intersection
with the 101 Freeway, which presently crosses at grade. Mayor Davidson
presented preliminary plans for the construction of the service road and
necessary property acquisition. Mayor Davidson stated that in his discus-
sions with property owners, City Staff Members, and members of the State
Division of Highways, that the estimated cost for land acquisition would
be approximately $8,000 and the construction of the road would be approxi-
mately $15,000 more or less. It was the common consent of the Council
that Mayor Davidson proceed in his investigation of the acquisition and
construction of the service road with property owners and State officials.
2. Communication from the City Planning Commission recommending that the City
Council adopt setback lines forty feet back-from the center line on both
sides of Broad Street from Monterey Street southeast to the city limit line.
' Mr. Houser,: City Attorney, briefed the City Council on the recommendation
of the City Planning Commission in requesting the establishment of the set-
back lines and the reasons for consideration at this time, as a property
owner has requested a building permit to construct a building in what would
be the future street line if this recommendation were approved.
Mr. Houser stated further that he had prepared an ordinance for the Council's
consideration under the emergencyyprovisions of the City Charter so that
the ordinance could go into effect immediately upon passage by the Council
and upon publication in the Telegram Tribune. Emergency provisions could
be enacted in the interest of public health and safety because of the
congestion that would be created by permitting buildings to be erected too
close to an inadequate street. Mr. Houser explained the legal background
for this type of emergency ordinance.
