veloped there was a 4" water main requirement and that now a 6"

of the water pressure problem. He states that the estimated cost
to install a 6" line from the middle of Eschenburg Drive extending
toward Sixth Street to the back property line of the middle lot
in Eschenburg Drive is $400.00. He also states that this line can
be completed to Sixth Street when the subdivider submits the map
of Eschenburg Drive Unit #4 and when the easement is granted to

line to the Sixth Street proposed 10" line which will increase

to add to the request.

Director of Public Works Kludt reports that he has checked
the reasoning for a four acre minimum embodied in the model trailer
park ordinance which was previously discussed. He states that he
was told that it is not economically possible to operate a trailer
park with land less than four acres. He states that the City in
which the ordinance is in effect allows trailer parks in a residen-
tial area and they believe that anything smaller than four acres
would be too small. Mr. Kludt also states that the four acre mini-
mum is for a 50,000 population and he believes that a two acre mini-
mum is a better requirement for the City of Gilroy.
Director of Public Works Kludt is instructed to investigate
the County's regulations for trailer parks.

ance describing yield right of way intersections and the placing of
