ERICKSON- <br /> BRISTOL PROPERTIES - To <br /> construct an industrial building in <br />the A 1District at 2941 Hesperian; APPROVED, was received and ordered <br />filed on motion of Councilman Evans, seconded by Councilman Villa, and <br />carried on the following roll call vote: <br /> <br />AYES: <br />NOES: <br />ABSENT: <br /> <br />Evans, Villa, Griset, Yamamoto, <br />Markel <br />Herrin <br /> <br />Patterson <br /> <br />DEED On motion of Councilman Patterson, <br /> seconded by Councilman Yamamoto, <br /> Council approved the following deed and <br />authorized the Mayor to sign all necessary documents in connection with the <br />purchase: <br /> <br />FERREL, north side of First Street, west of Pacific, for <br />street purposes. <br /> <br />Motion carried on the following roll call vote: <br /> <br />AYES: <br />NOES: <br />ABSENT: <br /> <br />Patterson, Yamamoto, Villa, Evans, Griset <br />Markel <br />Herrin <br /> <br />TENTATIVE TRACT MAP Councilman Patterson expressed <br /> concern that apartment developments <br /> are being permitted in the south area, <br />and requested a report from Staff on the reasons for their recommendation for <br />approval. Planning Director Wieland stated that this property is being <br />divided into three separate parcels for condominiums; that there had been <br />several hearings before the Planning Commission; that there have been a number <br />of problems involving the Public Works Department, such as a frontage of <br />only 60' on Lyon and on McFadden, difficult access, and the fact that two of <br />the boundaries would be a flood control channel and a railroad. He stated it <br />would be very doubtful if the property could be developed for R 1 because of <br />the lack of frontage, lack of street access, and the peculiarly shaped parcel; <br />that most of Lyon Street is in multi-family development; that Tract Map #7492 <br />provides for well over 100 units of housing, with density of approxir~ately 16 <br />units per acre. In response to a question from Mayor Griset concerning industrial <br />development of the property, the Planning Director stated that this would also <br />be very difficult because of access problems; that both Lyon and McFadden begin <br />just immediately in front of the railroad tracks, and that in the proposed <br />development any possibility of through traffic has been eliminated; and that there <br />is the additional problem of frontage for industrial development, with the only <br />possibility being acquisition of single-family homes now fronting on Lyon, which <br />has been attempted in the past without success. <br /> <br />CITY COUNCIL -347- October 18, 1971 <br /> <br /> <br />
