Mr. Ross requested that the Council interpret the definition and allow the more lenient interpretations that are being allowed in other jurisdictions such as. the City.of..San Jose,.County of San Luis Obispo and City of Santa Maria. He suggested that the Council amend the Code to allow this type of occupancy as the interpretation followed by the City Building Department placed additional hardships and.extra expense on the building.owner. Mr. Ross stated that he objects to the definition by the Building Department of.the requirement of a public vs. private garage. Mr..Houser, City Attorney, stated that the only way.this matter can be changed by .the Council would be to amend the.UBC:to allow up.to 2,000 square feet instead of 1,000 square feet of open garage space under the building and not by a simple code interpretation by.the.Council. Mr. Abraham, Planning Director, appeared.before the Council to state that the inter- ... pretation made by the Building Officials Conference was the same interpretation made by his staff.

He stated that he had also contacted the City Engineer regarding the placement of signs and was told that the City could not place signs on private property. He also` - stated that he was representing the Grandview, Riley, Rancho,.Sands, and Town & Country Motels and the Little Chef Drive -In Restaurant, and they wish some relief from the excessive speed on Monterey Street caused by the I%h school and college students racing up_and down the street in an uncon- trollable manner. He also asked that the City.let him know what he.can do to protect his property either by allowing him to place signs or the City placing signs on his property. He also requested that the City author- ize some additional police protection at -the upper end of Monterey Street where the traffic is extremely fast and dangerous. Mrs. Pubens, Manager of the Homestead Motel, appeared before the Council stating that her motel was located on a frontage road and that potential . patrons could not see the motel until they were on the freeway and she asked that she be allowed to.place a sign on the divider fence so as to direct.patrons to her motel.aMrs.bPabeus further stated that she had an addi- tional problem in keeping the area between the paved street and the fence clean, and which is-not owned by the motel, and has grown up with weeds and wind -blown debris and makes the entrance to the motel look bedraggled and un= sightly, and she would like to have the City keep the area between the street and the fence clean. On a motion of Councilman Graves, seconded by Councilman Miller, Mrs. Puben's problem was referred to the Traffic Committee for investigation. A. J. Mickel, Travelodge Motel, protested to the City Council on the high speed and-auto noises on Monterey Street which were a deterrent to his business and to adjoining motels and asked that the City Council do some- thing about the traffic problem. Councilman.Miller stated that he firmly believes that the City Council should consider acquiring two wheeled motorcycles to control traffic on the City streets and that contrary to the Police Chief's opinion, the City should ac- quire motorcycles as a deterrent to the traffic violators in the City. Mr. Miller stated that he had investigated the traffic problem in Santa Maria and that the Assistant Chief of Police told him that two wheeled motorcycles were extremely effective in controlling speed and traffic violators and that Santa Maria also has the high school and college student problem that we have in'San Luis Obispo. Monterey Street traffic problem was referred to the City Traffic Committee for investigation and report. 10.
