West Kettleman Lane and Harney Lane. Public Works Director Jones presented and reviewed the propos-ed Specific Plan. Mr. Victor Ideyer, 41 South Sacramento Street, spoke concerning the Specific Plan. He questioned if right-of- way locations should be considered at this time. Mr. Meyer said he was concerned that some recognition should be given to location of driveways, etc. Mr. Meyer stated he was opposed to the plan as presented for several reasons. He felt the policy being considered for South Hutchins Street was contrary to that adopted for Lower Sacramento Road.

Mr. Meyer suggested that no pedestrian sidewalk should be provided in this area of South Hutchins Street. The developer of the English Oaks Subdivision, Mr. Robert Houston, 824 Mariposa Way, said he would be agreeable to dedicating additional right of way to provide for a bicycle path and he preferred to install landscaping on the private property rather than in the public right of way.
