Attention: Mr. Donald R. Short,Director of Public Works
Gentlemen:
SUBJECT: Proposed Sanitary Sewer District No.501116,
City of E1 Segundo.
RECOMMENDATION: It is respectfully recommended that sani-
tary sewers be installed in this District.
ANALYSIS: This Department has made an investigation
of the area of proposed sanitary sewer
district #501116, located in that portion of East Syca-
more Avenue lying and being between Eucalyptus Drive and
Sheldon Street. The results of this investigation indicate
that six property owners or tenants were contacted and of
this group three or fifty percent reported that they have
had trouble with their cesspool sewage disposal systems.
One resident reported that they now have three cesspools
installed; another reported that they have had their exist-
ing cesspool pumped within the last two year period. This
residence is only three years old. Two other contacts re-
ported that their laundry waste water was disposed of by
discharging it onto the surface of the ground. This Depart-
ment assumes that this method of disposal was used in order
to conserve on the available capacity of their cesspools.
In view of our survey it is respectfully recommended that
proceedings be instituted at once for the installation
of sanitary sewers in this district as an improvement
necessary to the protection of public health. This recom-
mendation is made pursuant to the provisions of Section
2808 of the Streets and Highways Code.

Attention: Mr. Donald R.Short,Director of Public Works
Gentlemen:
SUBJECT:
Sanitary Sewer District No.510405,
Sycamore Avenue between Eucalyptus Drive
and Pepper Street, and in Pepper Street
between Maple Avenue and Walnut Avenue,
City of E1 Segundo, California.
RECOMMENDATION:
It is respectfully recommended that sani-
tary sewers be installed in this District.
ANALYSIS:
This Department has made an investigation
of this proposed sanitary sewer district
#510405, Sycamore
Avenue between Eucalyptus Drive and Pepper
Street, and in
Pepper Street between Maple Avenue and Wal-
nut Avenue, as
shown on the attached map.
During the course of this investigation ten house to house
calls were made with the following results: Eight property
owners or tenants were actually contacted. (Two were not
at home or did not answer the door.) Of the eight actual
contacts two or twenty -five percent reported that they had
experienced trouble with their cesspool sewage disposal
systems. The soil within the area of this proposed sewer
district is beach sand and clay. Soil of this nature is
not conducive to any type of individual sub - surface sewage
disposal system.
The topography and also the area of the lots are such that
in many cases there is not sufficient area remaining on
which to construct new sewage disposal systems if and when
the present system should fail to function.
In view of our survey it is respectfully recommended that
proceedings be instituted at once for the installation of
-3-

sanitary sewers in this district as an improvement neces-
sary to the protection of public health. This recom-
mendation is made pursuant to the provisions of Section

-4-
Mr. Dunlap reported that he had made an examination of
the property in question, had determined that the building had
been enlarged to twice its original size some time during the
year 1949; that he had found that during screening and loading
operations at Mr. McIlroyts establishment the wind carried
large amounts of sand on to adjoining properties; that trucks
were coming in and out of the plant at all hours of the day, in
cluding Sundays; and that a large amount of debris and broken
machinery vere found to have been deposited by Mr. McIlroy in the
rear of his plant.
Mr. Dunlap further stated that it was his opinion the
Council had received sufficient information in the form of com-
munications from adjacent property owners, through personal in-
spections and reports from Gordon Whitnall, Zoning Consultant,
to justify its declaring the plant of Mr. McIlroy a public
nuisance; that he had prepared a form of notice to abate said
nuisance, to be served upon Mr. McIlroy and other persons
interested in the property upon which said sand screening plant
is located; and he recommended that such notice be served, and
if the persons served failed to abate such nuisance within the
time limit specified in the notice, the Council might then
direct the City Attorney to institute court action to abate such
nuisance.
The Council being in accord with the recommendations made
by Mr. Dunlap, it was moved by Councilman Peterson, seconded by
Councilman Gordon, the following resolution be adopted:
BE IT RESOLVED, by the City Council of the City
of E1 Segundo, a sixth class city located in Los Angeles
County, California, the legislative authority of said
City acting in that behalf under and pursuant to the
