On March 26, 1975, the Planning Commj~s$on
determined that the alleys are no longer nec-
essary for public use and recommended that they
be vacated.
As to the easements, the San Diego Gas and

ments.

understood that the alley ran all the way
through to what is now the hospital. Since
then, the school has built here and put in a
handball court. Mr. Mattes added that he can-
not come into his home from the front because
of the property and garage being built next to
his home.
City Attorney Lindberg stg~ed that the alley
is being closed as a private accessway --there
is no question of that being closed in any way.
PERMISSION TO USE ALLEY In answer to the Council's questions, Director
of Public Works Robens explained that the
easements are reserved for the utility companies
for their use only--- the property owners would
have to have special permission from them to
use the alley.
COUNCIL DISCUSSION Discussion followed concerning the legality of
private easements, providing a reservation of
easements for the property owners, question as
to whether or not the alley is still needed for
present or future access to properties, and
whether or not the alley runs all the way down
to the hospital property.

PUBLIC HEARING - On April 2, 1974, the City Council by Resolu-
RESOLUTION OF INTENTION FOR t911 tion No. 7262 accepted a petition for a 1911
ACT IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT 75-1 Act Improvement District for the installation
(ROSEB~LNK SEWER DISTRICT) of a sewer system in the Rosebank area of the
City. The petition was signed by property
owners representing over 60 % of the assessed
land within the boundaries of the proposed
district.
In accordance with Council's direction, on
April 12, 1975, the Engineering Division
prepared plans, specifications and a cost
estimate of the work. The sewer system is
designed so that all undeveloped property not
within the district may be served by extending
the sewer, The design also provides for the
future relief of the Rosebank Sewer Pump
Station.
DirectOr of Public Works Robens reported that
the estimated cost of the improvements is
$138,S67 which includes incidental costs and
contingencies. There are 91 parcels to be

City Council Meeting 4 May 13, 1975
Public hearing opened This being the time and place as advertised,
the public hearing was opened.
Protests received City Clerk Fulasz declared that she received
two written notices. She read the prote~s
which were r~ceived from Mr. John R. Payne,
62 Corte Maria Avenue and from Vera K. Shipman
and Daniel S. Slip, 66 Corte Maria.
City Attorney's opinion Mr. Lindberg stated that the letter from Mr;
Payne does not stipulate that it is a protest
against the formation of the District -
instead, it makes recommendations to the
Council as to the manner in which to proceed
if a District is to be established. The City
is bound by State Law as to this procedure,
so therefore, it would not be appropriate for
the Council to recognize these recommendations.
The second letter constitutes a protest (Ship-
man and Slip) and the staff should evaluate the
percentage of the District area in terms of
assessed valuation that it does represent.
Mr. Eric Adney Mr. Adney said that he has lived in the area
93 Corte Maria for 19 years and discussed the need for this
District because of the overflowing of the
cesspools in the area. He asked that the
Council speed up this project as soon as
possible.
~lr. Warren Harding Mr. Harding stated he was in the process of
144 First Avenue splitting his lot and is very much in favor
of putting in the sewer rather than having
to build a cesspool.
Public hearing closed There being no further comments, either for
or against the hearing was declared closed.
Response to Mr. Payne's Councilman Hobel asked the City Attorney to
letter respond to Mr. Payne's letter, since it was
not considered as a protest.
City Attorney Lindberg stated he would make
an appropriate response to this property
owner.
Motion for resolution It was moved by Councilman Hyde, seconded by
Councilman Scott and unanimously carried that
a resolution be brought back at the next
Council meeting calling for proceedings (to
form a 1911 Act Improvement District for the
installation of a sewer system).
RECESS A recess was c&lled at 8:45 p.m. and the
meeting reconvened at 9:05 p.m.
