Kilkenny of the City owned property on Coact Highway, upon which the Commission was to constitute itself as a committee to investigate. Many property owners were present at the meeting for the public hearing ' on Mr. Vogel's property, so Chairman Allen explained the proposed plans and asIted'for expressions from the floor. Mr. P. A. Dinamore, of the Irvine Company, spoke first, stating that he was "very much interested in the property ", that it"was donated to the City for - educational and recreational purposes, end leasing would be contrary to those purposes "9 . that the donor(Mr. Irvine) "was promised that it would be used as intend- ad".. and "business purposes would be contrary to the best public interests", and that that the City "should have certain areas set aside for recreat- ional purposes ", likening the proposed leasing with San Francisco leas- ing the Golden Gate Park, or Los Angeles of Pershing Square. Frank Rey - nolds, property owner of Corona Del Mar, thought it very laudable that it be left for recreational purposes, which was echoed by W. K. Ball, Dr.Cash, and Mr. Glendenning, all of Corona Del Mar. Commissioner Long - moor brought up the thought that that area, if developed for a public bathing beach, would be endangered by the traffic of boats going up and down the channel.
