Caddick, 19003 E. Hollyvale, Glendora, which was pre- sented just before the Council meeting. Mr. John Daniel, 500 Mesa Circle, Monrovia, appeared before Council to represent himself and Robert Kyle, two of the property owners in the area proposed for annexation. Mr. Daniel explained to Council their plans for commercial development on the Alosta frontage, and apartment units in the rear with garages possibly acting as a buffer be- tween the units and the nearby residences. Mr. Daniel further stated that they would continue Calera as a through street to Alosta Avenue and would prefer to construct an east -vest street in approximately the center of the area, ')etween the C-3 and R-3 zones. Mr. ohn Clark, 133 Mauna Loa Drive, Monrovia, appeared 4efore Council to state that his views coincided with those of Mr. Daniel, and to answer any questions Council might have regarding the proposed development. The final petitioner, Mr. C. M. Johnson, who with his son owns the property on the southwest corner of Alosta and Ben Lomond, also appeared before Council. Mr. Johnson stressed that they wished to preserve their corner property for commercial zoning. This commercial zoning would extend 150 feet on Ben Lomond Avenue.

Jamison, 19003 Haltern; Mrs. R. P. Caddick, 19003 E. Hollyvale, and G. H. Murray, 6261 Hanlin. The protestants all spoke in favor of an east -west road on the southerly end of the proposed annexation, which would divide the units from the adjacent homes, and a north -south service road on Ben Lomond which would serve as a buffer zone. Opposition was also voiced to the C-3 zoning on the corner of Ben Lomond and Alosta by property owners on the east side of Ben Lomond Avenue. G. B. Solberg, 2030 Lorraine Road, San Marino, who owns property adjacent to the proposed annexation, appeared to inquire whether his land was included in the proposed annexation. When advised that his property was included in the legal boundaries which had been submitted to the Boundary Commission, Mr. Solberg stated that he did not desire annexation to the City at this time. He did, however, indicate willingness to dedicate a portion of his property for the extension of Calera Street to Alosta Avenue.
