A letter from the Azusa City Planning
Commission relative to the proposed
Subdivision No. 16687 was read. Be-
cause of the fact that the natural drain-
age of this subdivision is from east to

streets will necessarily have to be
bridged across the Little Dalton Wash,
the Planning Commission recommended that
Council approve this subdivision only with
the understanding that deed restrictions
will require that no entrance to Broadway
(Gladstone Avenue) be permitted from
residential lots due to traffic hazard
as well as flood conditions of the gutter
waterways leading into the Little Dalton
Wash. The Planning Commission also re-
commended that all the homes contain not
less than 1000 sq. ft., exclusive of
porches and garages.

ed to Council by Mr. Harvey L. Tadlock,
