OLD BUSINF,SS
Hup,h Monohan - South E1 Monte Road.
For several Council meetings, there has been
discussion as to methods to improve the private
road of South E1 Monte. The Planning Commission
will not give approval to any further subdivisions
on this road until a solution has been reached.
Although not on the agenda, Mr. E.R. Mastin
from George Nolte's office, Civil Engineer,
appeared representing Mrs. Monohan, property
owner on South E1 Monte. Mr. Mastin requested
permission to submit an estimate prepared
by Nolte of the cost of a substandard 18'
road, with 6" base rock and armour coat. This
is equivalent to existing La Loma Drive. Mr.
Monohan proposed that he improve the 1385 feet
of South E1 Monte from the northwesterly cor-
ner of his property to the intersection of
La Loma Drive. The estimated cost was $2.50
per foot.
ACTION:
This proposal be referred without comment to
the Planning Commission to be added to the
data they -are studying. Also in view of the
present confusion on the matter, that the
entire Monohan problem be referred to the
Planning Commission for clarification.
