OLD BUSINESS: 1. Roscoe, Wendell W. - Consideration of Release of Covenant for Lot Unit -1, Fink Horse Ranch Subdivision. The Mayor requested that the Council consider the Covenant apart from the road improvements. A.CTION : That the Council release the Covenant now existing for Lot #6 Unit1, Pink Horse Ranch. MOTION: Treat; SECOND: Bledsoe; VOTE: Passed unanimously 2. Pink Horse Ranch Subdivision - Ofd' -tract Road Improvements. The Mayor commended Commissioner Hart H. Tantau and the Committee for the research made and for the fine report submitted regarding the problem of off -tract road improvements for Fink Horse Ranch Unit #1. He gave a brief review of the report, and asked Mr. Tantau to summarize his conclusions. Commissioner Tantau stated that he had reviewed all the minutes of the Planning Commission and Council relative to Fink horse Ranch, and that he also studied the bond posted for Unit #1. He stated that it was the conclusion of the Committee that there was a verbal understanding that the resubmission of two units and the abandon- ment of the driveway changed the picture, and the road improvements would be required for approval of Unit ##2. When the map was orig- inally submitted to the County in 1955, they required realignment of Moody Road. When it was resubmitted to the Town, realignment was not specifically mentioned. Mr. Roscoe was asked for his comments. The following is a summary of his comments: The original plan was approved by the County, as stated by Mr. Tantau. The Town was formed in January of 1956, and it was not until July of 1956 that any action was taken. (There was a difference of opinion as to when action was first taken. One of the Councilmen stated that the first action was taken in May of 1956•) The Map was submitted as one unit, but the Planning Commis- sion felt that it would be better to submit the subdivision in two units There were two (2) conditions listed on the original map of one unit. (1) Abandonment of a section of South E1 Monte. This was originally the main entrance to the property. (2) Re- alignment of Moody Road which the County wanted done on their terms, from Stonebrook to Elizabeth Avenue. On three occasions, members of the Planning Commission met on the site and discussed the realign. ment of Moody Road, but it was the unanimous opinion that they did not want the road re -aligned, due to the traffic problem --speed. They also wanted to keep the Town rural, and also at the time, no funds were available.
