PUBLIC PROPERTY USE An Application to Use public property BLOCK PARTY filed by Brother John Blazo, 2402 South Maple Street~ for a block party on South Maple Street between Warner and Central Avenues, on August 7, 1970, 3:00 P. M., to lh00 P. M., was approved on motion of Councilman l~arkel, seconded by Councilman Villa, on the following roll call vote: AYES: NOES: ABSENT: Herrin, Markel, Patterson, Evans, Yamamoto, Griset None Villa Brother John Blazo described plans for the party preceding the Council action. The City Manager stated that there was no objection to the request other than the general objection that it was contrary to previous City policy. Mayor Griset noted that exceptions had been made where requests had been received from certain organizations, but that, in his opinion, it was a poor policy to "just open the door to this kind of request". Councilman Herrin suggested the possibility of using several of the home-owners' front lawns for the block party. Councilman Patterson stated that since it did not block a main thoroughfare or create a public health or safety hazard, he had no objections to granting the request; that he would prefer to have a definite policy adopted concerning the factors which would govern granting and disallowing future requests; and that perhaps an ordinance could be drawn delegating such authority to the City Manager with a provision for appeal to the Council. A motion by Council Villa to defer Agenda items 47 through 55 to the evening session and proceed to Oral Communications~ due to the lateness of the hour, died for lack of a second. PARCEL MAP 667 Parcel Map 667, filed by Santiago Development Company, creating two C 4 parcels adjacent to the southwest corner of MacArthur Boulevard and Main Street, was approved subject to conditions in Planning Director's report dated July 21, 1970, and alley requirement was waived, on motion of Councilman Herrin, seconded by Councilman Patterson and unanimously carried.
