duced Ordinance No. 645 annexing the Boron Addition to

FOR SOWER with law, the Mayor called for hearing on the proposal
SACR- ENTO RJ to establish a Specific Plan for the limitation of
access by the use of frontage roads on Lower Sacramento
,toad between Lodi Avenue and Turner Road. There was
no one in the audience who wished to speak for the
proposal. Mr. Clint Hoellworth, 719 South Garfield,
speaking for St. Peter's Lutheran Church, said he had
made inquiries and was of the opinion that the frontage
road should be eligible for gas tax funds as the
design standards were such as to qualify as a collector
street. He also felt the plan was premature because
t -he amount of traffic does not require this type of
road. Public Works Director Jones stated the standards
for the frontage road were no greater than those for
residential streets. iir. Hoellworth felt his infor-
mation was reliable and the Mayor suggested that
i -Ir. Hoellworth contact his sources of information to
have them get in touch crith the Public Works Director
in order to clarify the requirements. The Council
discussed the design of the frontage road and the
a—unt of right of way chich would be required. Council-
man Walton said the design might be an unreasonable
burden on the property owner and be wished to consider
the matter Further, as tiiere might be some reason for
City participation in the cost. Councilman Hunnell
moved that the proposal to establish a Specific Plan
for Lower Sacramento Road be continued to the meeting
of F.ugust 2, 1967. The motion was seconded by
Councilman Walton and carried with Councilman Culbertson
voting no, because he felt the design could be approved
now and City participation considered at a later
meeting.
