Mr. Burt Miller addressed Council referring to correspondence between the City and General Telephone Company concerning the property at the corner of Cajon Street and Citrus Avenue known as "The Triangle" , and stated that his company had submitted an alternate proposal to place a sidewalk between the proposed building and the Triangle, in lieu of a right-turn traffic lane. Mayor Cummings stated that personally, he approved of this alternate plan as he believed any street development should have taken place at the time that the City exchanged property with the Telephone Company in 1969. Councilman Miller stated that an earlier right turn lane in this spot had caused traffic confusion at that time and now traffic is very much heavier. Vice Mayor DeMirjyn agreed with the stand taken by Board of Parking Place Chairman Eugene Malone, which held that this would be a traffic and pedestrian hazard at this time. Following brief discussion, Councilman Miller moved: 1. That Planning Commission Resolution No. 394 (Precise Street Plan No. 11) , Commission minutes dated July 24, 1973 , be denied, 2.
