We would then be creating Myford~R~, a~%he~new~firm hard boundary between, the two'cities,' They did not take final action because their EIR was not prepared at that meeting and in anticipation that they will approve the annexation on the 23rd and also anticipating that we can work with their staff to get the resolution of annexation firm enough that LAFCO would accept it as support for the annexation of the exchanges and for the change of the Sphere of Influence, we would try to submit it to LAFCO by the 26th of this month.

George Speicher, 14711 Alder Lane, had several concerns such as increase in noise, drinking and drug problem~, noise from motorcycle and moped traffic and the possibility that-a serious accident is going to result from the young people using the access as a raceway going directly into Alder Lane.
