PLANNING COMMISSION., CITY OF EL SEGUNDO, dated September 6, 1955,
transmitting therewith copy of a report made to said Commission by Brysis and
Gordon Whitnall in connection with the proposed use of .a` substandard lot at 605
Washington Street, and which report indicated-that in the opinion of the Zoning
Consultant the lot could not be used for the purpose of erecting a dwelling
thereon.
The City Clerk then reported that pursuant to request of the City Coun-
cil, the City Administrative Officer had obtained from the Title Insurance and Trust
Company .a report showing the recording date of the portion of Lot 12, Block 111x, -
upon which Mr. Morgan desires to erect a dwelling, and that such report shows the
recordation date of said portion of said lot to be•August 5, 1955, which date is
subsequent to the adoption of the Zoning Ordinance.
Considerable discussion ensued, during which Councilman Frederick stated
he had suggested to Mr. Morgan, owner of the lot in question, that he attempt to
purchase from adjoining property owners, sufficient footage to add to the lot in
question to make the area at least 5,000 square feet, which would give him suffi-
cient area to enable him to erect a dwelling.
City Attorney Woodworth stated Mr. Morgan had exhibited the deeds to
the property to-him this date, and that the ruling made by said City!Attorney
at the prior meeting had been predicated upon the information given him that the
deeds had been recorded prior to the date of adoption of the Zoning Ordnance,

order therefor at a later date.

Building the architect had omitted to provide for roof ventilators in the attic,
and that the City Building Inspector states same should be installed to prevent
dead air in the attic; that the Building Inspector had secured a price for the
installation of such necessary ventilators, between $500.00 and $600.00; that
the architect is not inclined to pay for this item, and while he feels,it is not
the City's obligation, the ventilators should be installed regardless who will
have to pay for the item.
The Council discussed the matter, and inasmuch as the ecst of the venti-
lators is in reasonable amount and the work must be done, it was -the consensus
the City would pay for same. Thereafter, it was moved by Councilman Frederick,
seconded by Councilman Swanson, the following resolution be adopted:
