Commissioner Bunker also requested that his sec­ond to Commissioner's Fountain's motion be withdrawn. Thereafter, Commissioner Sharp moved that the tentative map of Morning View Heights #2 be approved, conditioned on the submission by the Subdivider to the City Engineer­ing Department in writing, all documents as required by the Engineering Department and proper calculations and cross-sections showing definitely the drainage will be taken care of at the intersection of Bonita and 17th Streets; that there is no possibility of water flooding on the east side of 17th and that the slab elevation of houses on the east side of 17th Street are established sufficiently high to prevent flooding of houses on the east side of 17th Street and that adequate drainage include sub­surface drainage provided in relation to adjacent subdivisions. The Engineering De­partment was further requested to make a progress report of the above at the next regular meeting of the Commission, insofar as compliance by the Subdivider of these conditions is concerned. It was further stated by the Commission that consideration of the final map of this subdivision would not be made until the above was complied with. Motion seconded by Commissioner Fountain and carried by the following vote: Commis­sioners Bunker, Fountain, Sharp and His Honor voting aye; noes, none. Absent: Com­missioner Whipple. Consideration was given to the request from Louis Wiener, Jr., owner of the building located at 711 Fremont Street that he be authorized to maintain this building on its present location. The City Manager explained that a portion of this building is encroaching on the al­ley running north and south between Fremont and Carson Streets, and advised the Com­mission that Mr. Wiener has agreed to enter into an agreement with the City to realign the building when and if it becomes necessary to rebuild or destroy the said building. Assistant City Attorney Hawkings presented to the Commission the proposed license a- greement with Mr. Wiener and recommended its approval.
