Future use of the area is not fixed by existing conditions on the land since very little develop- ment exists in the area. This would give the City a great deal of leeway in making a decision, one way or another. Whatever that decision is, however, would have a great deal of effect upon what the future of the remainder of the surrounding land might be. 3. Since the northerly direction is almost the only one that can be viewed as being available and satis- factory for fine single family homes development in the future, it would appear that the future highest and best use of the land might be adversely affected by the decision to permit high density mobile homes uses on the land.

In the matter of the storm drain over the American Brake Shoe property, the City Engineer reported it has been learned that the existing storm drain extending from 9th Street to the north property line of American Brake Shoe was installed many years ago by owners of the land over which it was installed. The owners are willing to grant an easement to the City, providing they will be able to maintain land rights so that buildings could be constructed over the drain if necessary.
