Noes None
Absent: Commissioner Salles
Comm.iss;ioner Bigelow entered the meeting during the
discussion `of the above matter and refused to vote,
as he missed the main dkscussion "on the subject
His refusal was considered an "aye" vote
Mre Marsha.i 1, engineer for .Ben Woodworth Subdi.vi®
lion, submitted, a remised preliminary layout for
the Commi s's i on's 'consid In reply to Com-
mLs.sioner Bigelow, Mr, Marshall stated he had con-
tacted the- Petaluma School Board and was informed
that a school site was not needed in said subdivim
sione. Mr. Woodworth then spoke on the subject of
a_'recreat.i -on_al site, and stated that he will deed
Lots 87, 88 and 89 to the_ City for the purpose of
a children's playground. The Commission
mented Mr. Woodworth fo.r'his generous offer. How=
eve -r, in the ;final- discussion, and with Mr o Woad
worth's consent, it was agreeable with all con-
cerned-that instead of the three lots offered
that three contiguous lots be designated for a
playground, and by a 4 to 1 vote, it was dec;id.ed
that the location of said 'three lots be referred
to the Recreation Commission., through the City
`Eng,ineer e, offi.ce, for its recommendation. (Com.
Talamantes voted to retain Mr. Woodworth's origin „
na 1 o.f f e�r of Lots 87, 88 and' 89).
Commissioner Bigelow was appointed to convey to. '
the City Counci l at it;s next. work session Mr. � Wood-
worth's offer of the aforementioned three lots as
a playground, and request 'that the Council members
consider 'the matter of establishing a, policy for
future subdivisions to set aside a playground area
as well as legalizing °same, if they so d
Upon reque.et of the Commission as to the revised
layout, city Engineer Russell Ingram noted that
all cul -de -sac -s have been el.imi.nated all streets
have been d.e,sig'ned as - through streets, that Pay -
ran Street has been rerouted to connect to Magnolia
Avenue and that the Payout appears to'be satisfac-
tory,. 'whereupon the, Commission unofficially approv-
ed the revi sled preliminary layout.
In.jine with Commissioner Bigelow's suggestion, , it
was decided that the future standard procedure of
the Planning Commission will be to
send a prelimin -.
ary layout plat of all subdivisions to the Council
for 'ita in°for.mati`on an"d' to notify the Commission
of any suggested changes or modifications
