June 26, 1972
on Palos Verdes Drive North at the intersection. with Rolling Hills Road,

nal system at the Main Gate.

California Contract Cities Association
The Manager presented a communication dated June 5, 1972 from the
California Contract Cities Association on the subject of Legal Action
Against County Overhead. Mrs. Clifton explained that there is addition-
al information in the letter on theproposed law suit against Los Angeles
County.
Mayor Pearson said the Council had already taken a position on the
matter, but ordered the new correspondence held for a full Council.
Regional Planning Commission: Tract 28866
Mrs. Clifton reported that the hearing on Friday, June 23rd before
the Subdivision Committee of Regional Planning on Tract 28866, a 37 unit
condominium on Whitestone Road at Highridge Road, had been postponed
because the developer did not appear at the meeting, Mayor Pearson
ordered the matter held on the agenda.
TENTATIVE TRACT 30932, Tom Moran, 10 Packsaddle Road West
Mr. Clark Leonard, engineer for Tom Moran, developer of Tentative
Tract 30932 requested that the matter be held on the agenda. The Mayor
so ordered.
TENTATIVE TRACT 30605, Gordon Shultz, 10 Johns Canyon Road
Mr. Clark Leonard advised that he and Mr. Shultz were present to
request Council's approval of the Planning Commission's action on
May 16, 1972 for inclusion of Lot 7 in. the first unit to be recorded,
as the initial approval of the Tentative Tract on February 15, 1972
was for Lots 1, 23 3, 4, 8 and 9 in unit 11, and, Lots 5, 6 and 7 in the
second unit. `
Mrs. Clifton explained that -one -of the conditions of approval by
the Planning Commission in May was that in including Lot 7 in the first
unit, the subdivider was required to extend the cul de sac of Johns
Canyon Road approximately 75 to 100 feet to serve Lot 7, and to bond
"for development of the remainderofJohns Canyon Road to ultimately
cul de sac at Parcel 6. Mr. Leonard said he felt there was no need to
extend the cul de sac at this time; if the future road to the west
between Lots 7 and 8 is developed, a knuckle would result. Until
then, Mr. Leonard explained, Lot -7 -�otild be served from the proposed
cul de sac at the north boun.dary.of :dot 8, and he requested relief from
the requirement of bonding for the remainder of Johns Canyon Road.
In the discussion that followed Councilman Hesse stated that the
requirement of the Planning Commission was a reasonable one, and that
the request by the subdivider and his engineer for relief from the
requirement was also reasonable, and it was his ®pinion that in con-
sidering reversing the ruling of the Planning Commission the City Coun-
cil should carefully consider all details. Mayor Pearson suggested
that in any case of appeal to the City Council for relief from recom-
men.dations of the .Planning Commission, the Chairman of the Commission
or his representative should be present at the meeting.
