During the tiae of COlUlt, 18 a~l:l1les rllUined parked on either side
of t:h. portion of Kroeger street proposed! to be abandoned. They evidently are owned
'b7 -ployees of e1 ther Kwikset Locks, Inc., or Mutual 6i trus Products Co.
-I
DUring the tae of count no veb1cle or person travelled over the portions
of street or alley-a propo8ed to be abandoned.
FT.IBl'HJ!:R: The area between East Santa Ana Street, the A. T. IS: S. F. 19'.,.
East Water Street and Kroeger Street, was orig.1.n.aJ.J.y laid out as a Resubdivision
of Theodore Reiser's Subdivision, Blocks C and D, but was never developed for
residential Use.
From the location o:f this prop~y and its proxbdty to the railroad, it
has been developed for industrial USes and should ha.. been considered for redevelop-
ment betore the present t1Jae. ,
It appears that with all of thef'rontage between South Olive Street and
the Mutual Citrus Products plant, owned b.Ji Kwikset, the area can be adequately
served by South Olive Street and I8IItIa AtclUson Street as tar as truck traffic is
concel'Ded, and by East Water Street as indUstry expands to the south.
A 3D-foot alley to the east of tJle alley south of East Santa Ana Street
would take care of the two properties illyo#.ved.
With industries the life blood ot the ~unity, it is of general pubUc
interest that the advanceent of the greatest good to the largest maber, :1ndustr;y
should be encourased to expand in aCcordance with their own plans, provided, these
plans do not conflict with planning tor th. future.
l
In this case there is no conflict, and it appears that the changes should
be made as outlined in the request.

The following report was made by the AdUai.trative Of'ficer:
In addition to the actual traffic count and survey, the traffic conditions
r
have been noted on several peevious occasi<*1s by the Chiet ot POlice, PlUDirtg
~neer and City Engineer individually. Since neither Kroeger Street or Atchison
Street are -improved very f'ar south of' Santa Ana Street, there is no public traf"fic
nov f'roa one -street to the other except through the existing alley south of and
parallel to Santa Ana Street. '!be traf'f'ic through this -alley is very light, but
does consist or large trucks.

The proposed red~opaent of' the street pattern in this area by providing
a J.D foot roadvq from Santa Ana Street to the first alley south thereof and con-
tinuing with a 30 foot alh;rway south to Water Street would open the area for cir-
culation of traffic serving -the lots facing Atchison Street.

the bollers in and out of ~s area. '!bey have four bollers froa Z4D Horsepover to
