WRITTEN COMMUNICATIONS
Re Overflowing Septic Tanks
John D. Keye, M. D. , Shasta County Department of Public Health, advises
they continue to experience difficulty,with .overflowing septic tanks in areas
�� � where the public sewers.have been installed for a number of years. The
lack of clear cut authority to require home owners to connect their plumbing
��� to the sewers results in hazards to the public health which are entirely
unnecessary. He urged enactment of an ordinance which requires property
owners within a reasonable distance (200 ' is .commonly used) of a public
sewer to connect their plumbing within a reasonable period of time.
City Manager Cowden stated City formerly had an ordinance that required
hook up within one y,ear, but during recodification of the ordinances this was
left out,
Referred to Dr. Fuiton and Councilman Denny for report and recommendation
next meeting.

Re Alley Abandonment (East & Pine Sts. )
The following two lette r s, date�3 July 20,` 196.4, we re filed by �Ivlr s. I-ielen
Faye Generes:
� . .. ,
City _Council, Honorable Members
Redding, Calif. Re: Alley Abandonment �� � � � � > .,._
aJ �
Honn's Addition - between Pine
Gentlemen: � and East .Sts. ,` City of Redding �
I am a major property owner and I protest�the abandonmerit of
this so-called alley or any portion of it.
City Council, Honorable Meznbers ` � �
Redding, Calif.` � ` ` ` ' '
176
Gentlemen: Re: Alley - Honn's Addition
Between Pine and East 5treets
City of Redding
I intend to excavate and slope the barik on a 1� x 1' slope beginning
on the westerly ,line of the alley and cantinue the slope the entire
width of the alley which is 30' to the property line of my.lots 3-4-5-
' 6. This will provide the necessary lateral support.
Councilmen were advised the Planning Commission had set public hearing
date for JuJ.y 2$th on the proposed alley.abandonment and City Attorney
Murphy suggested the Clerk be requested to hold these letters for pre-
sentation and incorporation at the time of the Public Hearing date of the
City Council.
Regarding the intention to excavate, the City Attorney stated he had already
� given his opinion that based on the information at hand he has grave �.oubts
there has been any valid council actzon au�thorizing Mrs. Generes to
excavate in the alley. That council minute s mention auth�rity to excavate
to the alley. There is a letter from Mr. Williams, then mayor, authorizing
her to excavate over a described piece of land, and it was his recollection
this was the easterly 15 ft. There seemed to be no inforxnation an file
indicating any action by council, or by any individual member of the council,
to permit Mrs. Generes to exercise any control over the westerly one-half
of the alley. .
That Mrs. Generes would need a permit from Mr. Arness' office-for-
excavation of public property or a dedicated public st�ree:t and'_i't :would be
appropriate action to instruct the Director of 1'ublic Works, pending hearing
on the abandonment, to issue no encroachment perinit for .any exc�.vation.
MOTION: Made by Councilman Denny, seconded by Councilman Huxnmel
to instruct the Director of Public Works that no encroachment permit be
issued for the removal of dirt until afte.r the public hearing on the alley
abandonme nt.
Mrs. Generes advised she intended to excavate prior to the date of the hear-
ing and this would interfere with her plans.
City Attorney Murphy then emphasized he had given his opinion �it was against
the law for any one to remove material �from City stre�ts; this would be true
even if council had acted as Mrs. Generes feels they acted, their action
would be void. However he felt it questionable if councilts action was as
Mrs. Generes says it was, as the minutes reflect grading to the alley, not
the alley.

mendations of tlie Plann'iri� Department and Planning Commission,-dated Jul.y

on Rezoning Application RZ-3-64 by Harry Daum, requesting rezoning' from

In this memo dated July 17th Mr. Keyes advi'se`s'the Commission had 'recom-
mended by_a vote of 6-0 that Council interim zone the area under consideration
�f � as a "C-3=P Dis`�'rict, and a1'sb'�rec�nimend'ed`'that1proCe$ure`s�'b'e'��continued to
�y7 cbnsider pe�rmanent C-3-P zoning." -The'memo continue's: - '�Since the date
of that meeting, the City Attorney has advised the Planning Department of his
apprehension that there are insufficient legal grounds to warrant interim
zoning. Since the interim zonirig' procedure�u�der the State =Planning Actwhas
its purpose the holding of territory under restrictive zoning until permanent
zoning can be considered and acted upon, the City'Attorriey �believes that in
the present.instance the change of zoning from an R-2- Distr'ict��to a C�-3-P
District is not an act of holding classification in a restrictive: category, but
' is tlie oppos'ite,.�� . � .. . _ . . . � ..._ � . � . � . . . - .
The memo concludes with the comment that in view of the Attorney,�s belief
the City Council may find it more appropriate to set a public hearing on this •
matter and reject the Planning Commission's recommendation_for interim •
zoning. � " � .
.�t�.
City Attorney-Murphy stated to interim zone the subject area� C=3-P would
permit constr'uction of sometli�ing impossible to construct under�the� present
zoning. � - � �
, ..�. . � . ,
Mr. Fred Piperio stated the Kenney.Shoe Store construction would be c�mpleted
by August 15th, and having been led to believe interim zoning would be permitted,

subrnit an agreement tha� would waive any .liability that Eity might incur by
183
,approving interim zoninb and any subsequent stoppage of construction or
law suit in the event the interim zoning should be contested.
Mr. Piperio stated he was reasonably certain they would sign such an agree-
me nt,
MOTION: Made by Dr, Fulton, seconded by Councilman Denny that due to
expediency subject area be given interim zoning of C-3-P provided an agree-
ment is signed by the owner on waiver of liability deemed necessary .by the
