The reports regarding the request of Azusa Greens Golf
Course to amend Resolution No. 4520, having been con-
tinued from the 9/5/72 meeting, were again placed before
Council.
The City Attorney refreshed the memory of the Council
with regard to the request by the Azusa. Greens Golf
Course owners for the severance of the golf course
conditions from City Council Resolution #4520 and for
the deletion of the condition in said Resolution requir-
ing dedication of a certain triangular portion of Lot 38
to the City for park and recreation use.
He eTained the interconnection between Council Resolu-
tion4520, the golf course as a buffer, Planning Resolu-
tions Nos. 386 and 387, and the Variance permitting
excavation of the rock quarries. He indicated that it
would be quite awkward to attempt to sever the connecting
items, as they were all quite tied together. It could be
done provided proper public hearings were held and new
Resolutions were adopted.
With regard to the deletion of the requirement for dedica-
tion of a certain piece of property, it was noted that the
Park and Recreation Commission and the Planning Commission
both recommended that this requirement not be deleted.
