SUBDIVISION NO. 32, TRACT 26661, A. E. ESSER
Mr. Cecil Lee of South Bay Engineering, representing Mr. Esser,
presented a Vicinity Map colored to show the turn -around required by the
Fire Department. A radius of approximately 25 feet is necessary for
fire equipment to turn around, and it was agreed that a full circle
ould not be required, because. the "fingers formed where the roads, join,
lus.'the paving of a 14 foot strip between the existing Esser.and Schliess-.
her drives would provide additional xoom for maneuvering and would elim-
inate the need to cut into the bank. Mrs. Schleissner, subdivider of the.
adjoining property, indicated that she would be willing to share in any
cost involved in meeting the requirement for adequate turn around.

Councilman Tourtelot requested that a new tentative map be
furnished showing the proposed drive to Lot 2 on Mr. Esser"s property,
and stated that a single line marked "Variable width Easement for
driveway purposes" as shown on the tentative map is not definite enough
for the Council to accept. Councilman Fay Advised that he had discussed
the proposed driveway with Mrs. Clifton, who recommended that the Coun-
cil follow the recommendation of Chief Russell of the Los Angeles Fire
Department.
After discussion, the consent of Mrs. Esser, subdivider, was
obtained to continue the matter until the next meeting of the Council
on dune 26, 1967 for the following reasons:

the access road to Lot 2.

serving Lot 2 should be paved to a width of 12 feet, 15 feet
or 16 feet (18 feet on the curve).
