CORRESPONDENCE
a) Letter dated June 17, 1964 from Anthony Jabuka,
28 Portuguese Bend Road, Rolling Hills requesting
the City Council to issue an extension of time
for recording of final tract map of parcel 103 of
Rolling Hills to June 24, 1965. The Manager fur-
ther explained that Sub -Division Ordinance No. 32
makes it unlawful for any person to offer -to -sell
or sell any portion of the land to be sub -divided
until the Final Subdivision Map is approved by
the City. Though Mr. Jabuka has sold a portion
of his Subdivision he is attempting to immediately
correct this error by having the Final Maps sub-
mitted for approval. No building permits will be
issued until the Ordinance is complied with, how-
ever a time extension is needed. The Manager
further stated that time extensions are only
granted once and for one year. After discussion,
it was moved by Councilman Goodman and seconded
by Councilman Tourtelot and unanimously carried
that the time extension be granted as requested,
and the Mayor so ordered.
