proposed for the extension of Third Street within said proposed
annexation. Said meeting hopefully scheduled prior to the November
6, 1967 Public Hearing date.
In order to accomodate, interested parties in the audience,
the Mayor deviated from the Agenda to discuss the Second Draft of
an Agreement on the proposed Elks Lod~e Site. Mr. John Klarich,
Chairman of the Elks Building Committee addressed the Council and
reported on the minor revisions to said Agreement by the Elks Lodge
and requested modification to Paragraph II regarding the construc-
tion of the pathway for golfers and golf carts to cross the mose
southerly portion of the proposed Elks Lodge parking lot to reach
the 8th golf tee; specifically to allow the Elks Lodge to be afforded
a pedestrian and cart crossing at grade with the proposed access
roadway planned. He further explained that at the present time the
Elks Lodge would prefer to provide the pedestrian crosswalk through
the said parking lot rather than the tunnel or overpass of the pro-
posed access road. A grade separation would cost an estimated
$5,000.00 to $10,000.00 and that the Elks Lodges' funds are limited
unless their property on Monterey Street and property on Morey Avenue
is sold immediately at their established price; upon sale of same it
is the Elks' Organizations' intention to provide the tunnel under o~
the pedestrian over-crossing at said location when additional funds
will be available, however, he further explained that this requested
modification if acceptable ,would still authorize the City at any
time to order construction of said tunnel or over-crossing if the
"at grade" crossing proved unsatisfactory to the City. Council
agreed on the requested modification to be included in said Agree-
ment with the stipulation that said modification include that the
City at any time could require the Elks Lodge to provide and oon-
struct said separated crossing and that the preliminary proceedings
for construction of same must begin at least thirty (30) days fol-
lowing notification of same by the City.
City Administrator Worn reviewed the minor revIsions studied
and recommended by the Council and Elks Committees to be included
in said Agreement. Motion was made by Councilman Allemand seconded
by Councilman Wentworth and carried that the said Agreement as
amended and modified be executed and that the Mayor be authorized to
sign same on behalf of the City subject t6 inclusion of the revi-
sions as presented and agreed upon.
Plan.Com.Meet. Secretary of the Planning Commission Henry reported on the
10/19/67 Planning Commission Meeting of Thursday, October 19, 1967 further
explaining the Commissions' intention regarding expansion of exist-
ing Church Buildings and Structures specifically that parking must
be provided in accordance with the Zoning Ordinance for the entire
church building (to include the existing portion plus the newly
expanded portion); further recommending a Zoning Ordinance amend-
ment to reflect the proposed changes for off-street parking; inform-
ing the Council of their discussion on the report of Planning Con-
sultant, Mr. Warren Jones, on the proposed development at the Gavi-
Ian College entrance and informing the Council that said matter re-
quire further study; notifying Council that the Commission instruc-
ted Staff to appear before the County Planning Commission at their
November 2, 1961 meeting requesting tabling the zoning for the Gavi-
