ROBERT LEE BRANDER, dated August LOUIS CARL NOTO, dated September MARION SAUL, dated September 8, employment by the City of El Segundo. -3- 15, 1952; 10, 1952; and 1952, each being Ordered filed. an application for v 74 ORAL COMMUNICATIONS Mr. Kenneth M. Bailey, 1212 East Acacia Avenue, El Segundo, ad- dressed the Council, expressing appreciation to said Council and the Street Department of the City of E1 Segundo for the immediate action taken in response to a.petition signed by himself and eleven other residents in the 1200 block of East Acacia Avenue, previously received by this Council, and for the prompt construction of approaches to drive- ways in said block. Mr. Bailey thereupon submitted a petition dated September 8, 1952, signed by himself and fifty -three other residents of the 1100 and 1200 block of East Acacia Avenue, objecting to the proposed house numbering change on said street easterly of Center Street, and requesting the City Council waive all action being taken in said matter. Mr. Bailey stated that the proposed change in house numbering had been ordered by the Building Inspector of the City of El Segundo, for the purpose of causing that portion of Acacia Avenue easterly of Center Street to be numbered uniformly with other streets of said City lying easterly of Center Street; that Acacia Avenue easterly of Center Street is numbered starting with 1100 series whereas other streets are numbered in the 1400 series easterly of Center Street, and that uniform numbering was desired by said Inspector to avoid confusion in locating addresses. The petitioners, Mr. Bailey stated, are of the opinion that the inconvenience and expense which might be caused said residents by the proposed house numbering change, such as changing printed letterheads and business forms, inability to get a new listing in the telephone books before June, 1953, an estimated two and one -half years to effect a complete change in mail delivery, the confusion which may result in numbered maps, legal documents, change of address for magazines, mail and utilities, far outweigh any confusion which may result in said portion of Acacia Avenue remaining non - uniformly numbered as it has been for the past three and one -half years. Discussion followed between Mr. Bailey, Director of Public Works Short and- members of the City Council, and it appearing that the proposed change in house numbering is not vital at this time, and until such time as Acacia Avenue is extended easterly from its present terminus and such area is developed it would be unnecessary to have the numbers changed, it was moved by Councilman Peterson, seconded by Councilman Baker, that the Street Superintendent of the City of E1 Segundo be and he is hereby instructed to order and cause to be installed one new street name sign at the corner of California Street and Acacia Avenue, indicating the present numbering of Acacia Avenue. Carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmen Baker, Gordon, Peterson, Swanson and Mayor Selby; Noes: Councilmen None; Absent: Councilmen None.

Mayor Selby advised Mr. Bailey that the City Council will take every action possible to eliminate any noises that are objectionable, and that a conference with Mr. DeSilva, Airport Manager, is planned in an effort to secure full cooperation of all companies involved, in the elimination of such noises, and that such conference had been delayed pending Mr. -4- v DeSilva's return from vacation this date, and suggested that resi- dents of said vicinity keep records of the date, hour, duration and nature of disturbances for future reference. Mrs. Marie M. James addressed the City Council respecting her appli- cation presented to said Council at its regular meeting held July 30, 1952, for permit to permanently maintain, use and occupy a house trailer at 145 Richmond Street, El Segundo, which application was taken under advisement until the regular meeting of the City Council held August 6, 1952, at which meeting such permit was denied inasmuch as it is not the Council's policy to grant permits for permanent use of trailers at a location outside of trailer parks, and stated that it was not her in- tention to permanently occupy said trailer and requested the Council give consideration to her application to use the trailer on a temporary basis for sleeping purposes only. Discussion followed, and it appearing that it is not the Council's policy to grant permits for use of house trailers in the business area, it was moved by Councilman Peterson, seconded by Councilman Baker, that the following resolution be adopted: RESOLVED, that the action taken by the City Council of the City of El Segundo at its regular meeting held August 6, 1952, in denying the application of Marie M.
