150 Timingham requested the Clerk to read the Ordinance and then ask Attorney Gale to point out the zoning districts on the map for the benefit of those present. Mayor Trimingham then called on Mr. and Mrs. Shotwell. They expressed their approval of said Ordinance, due to the fact they objected to any type of business adjoining their property near First Street and Vineyard Ave. Mr. Snyder, representing Jackson and Perkins Co., stated his. company objected to that portion of the Ordinance prohibiting retail outlets in the commercial zone, for reason that commercial oi' manufacturing concerns often wish to retail their products, as well as wholesale them. Mr. Orin Crowe stated he agreed with the,ppinion of Mr. Snyder, further explaining that it is more difficult,to rent or lease property to.commercial concerns with this1 restriction, also it will keep such concerns from locating in Pleasanton result ing increases which Pleasanton certainly needs. Dr.C.H,Harms expressed the same opinion as Mr. Snyder and Mr. Crowe. Mr. Geo. Engle hart said it did not effect him., Mr. C. J. Ritenour did not express an opinion. Mayor Trimingham then explained why the Ordinance was proposed, that it was a stop- gap measure and no doubt would require revisions before being adopted in final form. He also stated the Chamber of Commerce and the Lions Club had no objections and felt a Zoning Ordinance should be adopted. He advised those present that consideration would be given their request and that further study of said Ordinance would be made before final adoption. Mr. Oxsen stated he had contacted Mr. Charles B. Ruegnitz, Director of Sanitation for Alameda Co., regarding the Pump House property as a site for a new well. He informed the Council that there was no objection but stated the well should be properly cased to prevent seepage should there be any. He was also asked to contact Andersen Drill- ing Co., of San Jose, regarding sinking a test well on the site. Mr. Oxsen stated that Mr. Dan Trade, of Sierra Pipe Line Construction Co., called re- garding a progress payment presented at Monday night's meeting, in the amount of $78842., and felt he was entitled to same or at least a portion thereof. On motion of Council- man Cairo, seconded by Councilman Abrott, and approved by all Councilmen present, the -Clerk was authorized to make a progress payment of $5,000. Since Mr. Joe Meyers has not as yet done the checking of the land at the Sewer Farm, Mr. Oxsen was asked to see if some one else could be secured for this work. He was also asked to ascertain who filled the dirt in the creek on Kottinger Ave. just north of the culvert. Mr. Oxsen was requested to write the Planning Commission of Alameda County regarding petition of Wayne Medsker -a private street off Santa Rita Road and petition of Walter Butcher -a portion of Remen Road as a private street.
