Chairman Tantau. <br />There are approximately 136 acres of land which may <br />receive some benefit from an improved road on South <br />El Monte. Twenty-five acres are presently built <br />upon and 35 more acres are in the process of sub- <br />division. The Fire Chief is particularly concerned <br />with a proper road because of inadequate access on <br />the present private lane and a water problem. A <br />future school will be located on Crescent Lane off <br />of Purissima and school buses will probably use <br />this road. <br />A Resolution prepared by the planning Commission at <br />their meeting of May 21, 1957, was re -read by Secre- <br />tary Williams. This Resolution recommended a Town - <br />sponsored Road Assessment District to finance any <br />road improvement on E1 Monte from Tape Way to its <br />terminus, and that it be made a public road. This <br />would require all property owners to dedicate 30' <br />as the land abutting the road is developed. Where no <br />development was eminent, require a 20' dedication. <br />This Resolution also recommended that E1 Monte between <br />Moody and Tepa Way in the rink Horse Subdivision #2 <br />be abandoned. <br />Commissioner Mellquist, who had been chairman of <br />the committee to study this problem, further summarizes: <br />the Commission's thinking that went into preparation <br />of the Planning Commission Resolution. <br />GENERAL DISCUSSION: <br />Charles McCandless, City Engineer, outlined the <br />process o crea ng an assessment district and the <br />types applicable in the case of South E1 Monte.' <br />
