APRIL 22, 1957 - 7:30 P.M. - City Hall
The City Council met in adjourned meeting with Mayor Fred H. Lucksinger presiding, in
continuance of the public hearing of April 15, 1957 regarding Johnson Street Et Al
Project S -56 -1.
Roll Call
Present: Nels Beck, Lowell E. Christie, Warren G. Edwards, Kenneth W. Jones, Fred H.
Lucksinger
Absent: None
Mayor Lucksinger declared the hearing again open and asked if any additional protests
had been received.
The City Clerk read the following protests:
Protest from Charles K. Buck, Attorney, on behalf of William H. and Rose McKeen, protesting
the installation of a sewer main on the periphery of their property along Johnson Avenue
and Orcutt Road. They based their protest on the fact that this area is not now;'
developed and they do not contemplate development for some time in the future.
A protest from Kenneth E. Smee in which he states that he is not protesting the installatio
of the sewer, but is protesting the amount of the assessment, as he claims his property
is not accessable except by crossing private property.
Mr. William McKeen appeared before the Council on behalf of his protest asking that a
portion of these sewer mains not be installed as he does not have the money at the
present time to pay for this assessment and further he does not foresee the development
of his property for many years to come.
Mayor Lucksinger asked both David Romero, City Engineer, and Mr. Pearson, Consulting
Engineer, what their recommendation was relative to the removal of the mains on the
periphery on Mr. McKeen's property. Both Engineers recommended no change as these
mains were necessary for gravity flow and sewage not only from Mr. McKeen's property,
but from property north and east.
The Engineers made the same reco rmmendation regarding the protest of Kenneth Smee.
Mayor Lucksinger reported to the citzens present, that since the original hearing of
April 15, 1957, he, the Council, Department Heads, and various property owners concerned,
met relative to the protests filed at the said April 15th meeting.
Mayor Lucksinger announced that the following were the decisions reached relative to the
protests:
1. The Goldtree Homes Tract would be assessed on an equitable basis with each lot paying
an equal share regardless of size.
2. The protest of Helen 'feller was allowed and she would only have to pay the area
assessed, not the collection, as she installed that at her own expense in the winter of
1956.
3. The protest of Gordon T. Griffiths was allowed and a portion of area assessment was
reduced from the original 5310.00 an acre to $155.00 per acre due to the cut up and steep
portions of his property.
These adjustments would add approximately $1000.00 to the over -all district and would be
spread over the balance of the assessments in the upper or Johnson Avenue area.
Mayor Lucksinger asked Mr. David Romero, City Engineer, to report on the decisions
reached on the lower or South Street portion of the assessment district.
Mr. Romero reported on the meeting with representatives for the property owners and the
decisions arrived at. He stated that the property owners in the affected area would only
be required to pay for an 8 inch line through their property, but that an 18 inch line
would be installed with the City of San Luis Obispo paying the difference between an 8
inch and 18 inch line.
This advance of money by the City of San Luis Obispo would be reinbursed to the City if
and when additional areas not now served become annexed to the City or are developed.
Further by agreement with property owner and representative, that portion of the Catholic
Cemetery now actually used for cemetery purposed was excluded from the district and that
portion of the assessment spread over the balance of the lower or South Street area.
Mr. Paul W. Davis, Attorney, representing Arthur Kentel, asked for clarification on the
breakdown of the new sewers for the South Street portion of the assessment district, both
as to front footage cost and area assessment. Mr. Davis further protested on the fairness
of. including his client's property in this district as they have previously installed
sanitary sewer facilities to service their property on the order of the City of San Luis
Obispo. Mr. Davis claims that inclusion of this property in the district was double
assessment as the., have previously paid $3000.00 for installation of their sewer.
Councilman Edwards asked Mr. Romero, City Engineer, what the frontage of the Kentel propert
was. Mr. Romero answered that it was 414 feet, which was the distance on which the
frontage assessment of the Kentel property was based. Councilman Christie 'asked what the
total assessment of the Kentel property was. Mr. Romero answered that it was approximately
$1100.00.
Mayor Lucksinger asked if the City Council wished to make any changes in the Kentel
property assessment. There being none, the hearing proceeded.
There being no further protests or questions regarding the sewer district, the public
hearing was closed on motion of Kenneth W. Jones, seconded by Warren G. Edwards.
