SCHEDULED I1EM NO. 2: 11110 CONSIDERATION OF CHANGING NA14E OF "BYRNE PARK" to "BYRNE WILDERNESS AREA". Mayor Aiken expressed his feeling that the open space and nature preserve tv atmosphere of Ey.ne Park should dictate a more appropriate designation than "Park" to insure that people were not mislead into thinking playgrounds, and similar facilities, are or would be available. Council concurred and the following names were suggested: "Byrne Open Space Preserve", "Byrne Conservancy". Mr. Donald Spencer, member of The Nature Conservancy, noted they have applied a national designation to the property as "Byrne Preserve". Council concurred to explore a possible name change with The Nature Conservancy and re -agenda this item in the near future. UNSCHEDULED ITEM NO. 1: .1 (b HECKER, DR. S. P. (V-324-69) - Request for 3' reduction in side setback to 27' for cabana at 12532 Briones Way. Staff report was presented noting a previous variance had been granted in December, 1968 and that the applicant desires to relocate the cabana from the easterly to the westerly end of the pool, with a corresponding 6' decrease in setback from the original variance. City Manager noted Planning Commission recommended approval. Dr. R. Steele, adjacent property owner, requested the 30' setback requirements be adhered to and opposed granting of the variance request.

Dr. Hecker and Mr. John Knox, adjacent property owner, spoke in support of the variance request.
