of the Planning Commission was adopted by the City Council.

tion that the City of Redlands will furnish water and sewer service and
will annex their developments regardless of whether or not they comply
with City reTArements. The Rinker Development Company commercial devel-
opment at the northeast corner of Alabama Street and the freeway and the
K-Kart proposal at the southeast corner of Redlands Boulevard and Alabama
Street are examples of this.

Manager. Merritt reported on the progress of Annexation #M, Celebrity
Homes. This annexation was considered at the Local. Agency Formation Com-
mission meeting on May 14, which Public Works Director Shone attended.
The Commission determined that it is inegal to annex the Wamell, prop-
erty without including a strip of property abutting the rity limits either
Report - north of Redlands Boulevard or south of Redlands Boulevard to the east.
Annexation The Commission staff recommended that the annexation proposal.. be extended
039 - 200' south of Redlands Boulevard and east to the center line of Alabama
Byaswell,
Street. This recommendation was made because this property has greater
read for municipal services than does the orange grove on the north and
all developed property being annexed now receives city water service. A
public hearing on this annexation is scheduled for June 25.
At the present time the Commission is concerned with lack of conformance=
to county standards and requirements, which are less than city standards
and requirements. our staff has looked into this, and found the following
examples of work not complete or approve0
County_jpfLqjcements: Installation of two fire hydrants, approval of fire
sprinkler systems, installation of dust collection system, installation
of ventilation system, installation of padnt spray booths, landscaping.
Sufficient on-site employee parking, proper drainage,
conformance to city sign ordinance, off-si.1te requirements for standard
street paving, sidewalks, curbs and gutters.
(Continued)
The Fire Chief has recommended that if this property to connect Celebrity
110mcs to the city is the strip from Alabama Street, one additional firc
hydrant should be install3d.
It is recommended that completion and approval. of items enumerated be
made a part of the annexation agreement, and that an Improvement Ordinance
Agreement be signed by Mr. Braswell for installation of off-site improve-
ments at the proper time.
Councilman De-,Mirjyn moved that Mr. Braswell- he in Cormf=cl of these condi--
Cions and that they be made a part of the annexation agreement. Motion
