A. S. Monroe
Special Assessment Engineer:
May 18, 1949
We originally asked for a dead end street;
understand this was not approved by the Flann�
ing Commission; why canrt we swing the street
over and go through the - vacant lot. I do not
want to be assessed or taxed more than I have
been.
I am in accord with Mr. Brightly. I do not
want to stand in the way of a street going
through but I cannot quite see paying for a
house being moved, It looks like the street
could be curved to avoid this.
It does seem like we should be able to have
a street and I am in favor of putting a
street through. Property will be worth
nothing if we do not have the street through,
but I am not in favor of moving houses.
I have a question which pertains to assess-
ments. I would like to know if equal
assessments will be made for people in the
opening of streets in Blocks 110 and 111;
the same assessment as those in blocks where
houses have to be moved -- would the cost
be bmme equally by us?
Appraisers in setting up values and damage to
be sustained by the several property owners
have recognized that in the new set —up. I
would say that the people in Block 107, 108,
and 114 are not particularly interested in
the acquisition of 110 and 111. I believe
that each contiguous street should be treated
by itself in the spread of the ultimate assess-
ment.
Various persons in the audience questioned the Council as to whether
or not the petition effecting Block 109 could not be changed so as to make
either a dead end street or a curved street. Mr. Monroe, Special Assessment
Engineer, stated that if a petition is to be changed all proceedings must be
abandoned and new proceedings instituted from the beginning. The following
persons then spoke in favor of the proposed street opening to —wit: J. S.
Montgomery, C. E. Kenney, Mrs, Badger, Bernard M. Howland, James Watson, and
M. L. Saylor; thereafter Mr. Brightly and Mr. Cramlet withdrew their protests.

After all persons, objecting to said improvement or to the extent of

heard and all objections presented having been heard and fully considered,
it was moved by Councilman Baker, seconded by Councilman Swanson, and
unanimously carried, the protests be referred to the Engineer for checking
and report, and further consideration of said matter was continued and
adjourned until the hour of seven - thirty o'clock (7:30) P. M. on Wednesday,
the 25th day of May, 1949•
ORAL COMMUNICATIONS.
Mr. Lindley A. Allen, Chairman, El Segundo City Planning Commission,
addressed the Council, stating that under the State Conservation and Planning
Act of the State of California, said Planning Commission is delegated the
duty of preparing a Master Plan for Recreation; that he understands four
different surveys are being made at this time by four different entities
respecting recreation; that inasmuch as the Planning Commission must perform
this service under law, he feels such surveys should be channeled through
said Commission.
Discussion developed that the Council is unaware of any such surveys being
made, with the exception of one authorized by the Council to be made by the
State Recreation Commission, which survey is to embrace activities and cost only,
but that if any surveys come to the attention of the Council which might come
under the jurisdiction of the Planning Commission, same will be referred to
that Body.
