Mr. Kenneth McCutoheon, 6256 Calera, appeared before Council
and,submitted a petition containing 47 names,:and asked the
City Administrator to read the preface of the petition,,,whieh
stated:
We, the undersigned, with at this times'
.to go on:reeord
as protesting the decision of the Azusa City Council -
in regard to the opening of Calera Avenue. We were of '
the opinion that this had been definitely.settled
May 20, 1963. At a public hearing, the Council adopted
Resolution No. 4485, approving Resolution No 321 of
the Azusa Planning Commission, which clearly states:
"The Planning Commission hereby recommends to the City
Council and. includes as a part of this precise plan
that the north -south residential streets.that would
intersect with Hollyvale Street should not be opened
to the roadway of aforementioned Hollyvale Street."
The City Attorney explained that the public he was held
on the Precise Plan, and that "A" and "B", quoted in the
heading of the petition, of Resolution 321 of the Planning
Commission were.recommendations only and.not part.of the con-
ditions of. the Resolution,. One of the conditions of the
Soelberg agreement is that the west half. of Calera Ave. be
opened to the south, and therefore there will be a street on
the south side with an open dedication to, the County. The
intersection with Hollyvale St, refers to .the four .streets
other than Calera.
Joan Martin, 6214 Galanto, also appeared before Council in
protest to the opening of Calera Avenue, stating that a.
fence could,be.put up to make it a dead-end,street.
