He also asked that the fence be moved from the building setback line into the parkway. Mr. Romero, City Engineer', drew a sketch of the Polin request, explaining that the Council determination would involve whether or not to permit a fence within the public street right of'way. Mr. R. D. Young, Planning Director, stated that Mr. Polin's request involved two separate problems: (1) a variance for allowing improvements in the parkway and (2) a use permit to allow a fence higher than three feet in the setback area.

Mr. Norris stated he would be pleased to present this information to the City Council at a later date. The matter was continued to February 20, 1967 and'the City Administrative Officer was to check with the League of California Cities to get additional information on this-request. 16. Mayor Whelchel reported to the City Council that he had requested the City Engineer to prepare a report on the feasibility and cost'estimate for the installation of a low level dam on San Luis Creek at Broad Street in order to hold water in the lower part of the proposed Mission Plaza project. City Council Minutes February 6, 1967 Page S He stated that before proceeding on this work that he wished the Council's approval for Mr. Romero to use the necessary staff time to prepare the report. Mr. Romero, City Engineer, stated that the proposed dam could be constructed .in one of several ways, any of which could be prepared by the Engineering Department Staff. However, since some.engineering• time is involved, he. requested Council direction to proceed on the study. .. .. . . Mr. Warden, property owner adjacent to San Luis Creek, asked the Mayor if the City would indemnify the property owners owning property above the dam from any damages or losses caused by this project. Mayor Whelchel stated he felt that the City would be liable for any losses or damages to property above the dam. Mr. Romero, upon question, stated that his office could prepare the plans and specifications for the low level dam but that it would haze to be scheduled in with other City work presently under consideration. Councilman Gallagher stated he felt the first thing that must be decided before work is started on the plans and specifications is whether the City can dam the Creek without permission of adjacent property owners as the City does not own the Creek but just a small portion adjacent to City owned property. On motion of Councilman Miller, seconded by Councilman Blake, that the Council instruct Mr.Romero and Mr. Young to prepare a preliminary plan for beautifi- cation and a plan to dam the Creek to include a determination of what properties are involved. Motion carried. Mayor Whelchel then brought to the Council's attention the matter-of the disposition of the Cornet Store property by the City.- Councilman Miller suggested that a Council - Committee be-,appointed.to explore various alternatives to the Cornet Store property such as-demolition,,improve- ment of the buildings as they stand or trade for other property with a report to the City Council on March 6,.1967.- Mr. Warden, property owner, stated that he would appreciate it -if theiCouncil would do something with the Cornet Store Building.:; He stated he would prefer customer parking but he- would-be pleased with a,mall, arcade or something as he thinks it is wrong to just let the building stand. Harry Fryer, Sr., asked the Council who was paying for all this property and the improvements in the downtown -area. He stated if it was being paid for by the property owners and the merchants he would have no objections but if the taxpayers were expected to pick up these bills he thought it was wrong and that the property owners should take care of their own property. Mr. C. A. Maino - stated he was sure everyone now agreed that the purchase of the Coinet�Store.by the City•was.a- mistake and,he -felt that the City should either trade this property for a better location in the downtown area for parking or development of the Cornet lot into something. Mr. Warden, property owner, stated that if the City develops the Cornet Store property he would be willing to,give access through his property for automobiles or pedestrian traffic. He also asked what was the City's time schedule, for the realignment of Monterey Street and the west side of the creek adjacent to-Monterey'Street. Mr. Dunin stated that he felt that the City Council, property owners and downtown merchants should be the ones to get together and develop a final plan for the Cornet Store building and Mission Plaza development. Mr. Idler, property owner,-stated that -he isia member of the Chamber Committee now working on various phases of the overall downtown problem and felt that this Committee would, soon- comelup -with solid recommendations prepared on•a consensus of non - interested groups. City Council Minutes February 6, 1967 Page 6 C. Seneker, Anderson Hotel, stated that he felt the City Council were elected leaders of the.City and they.should lead now on the downtown development and should set the pace for this development. He also felt that much more parking is needed in downtown San Luis Obispo. Myron Graham stated that. he felt that the City Council was doing a good job and hoped that they would proceed on this Plaza development with as much speed as possible. Mr. J. Kimball, President-of the Chamber of Commerce, stated that the . Chamber now has an active downtown development committee made up of citizens of all parts of San Luis Obispo that are trying to arrive at a consensus to recommend to the City Council for use of the Cornet Building and also downtown development. Mr. McDonald, President, Downtown Association, urged that the City Council proceed with development of the Cornet Store property for the purpose as purchased and he felt that no further studies need to be made on this matter as he felt that the Mission Plaza Plan had been studied and studied over the part twenty years and he felt that the City Council should just go ahead and develop the area on whatever plan appeals to them. He urged that the Cornet Store building be torn down.and that some use be made of.the property. The City Council disucssed their actions in purchasing the Cornet property and also discussed the Mission Plaza Plan prepared by the former Planning Director, P. C. Chapman, which was adopted by the Council as a guide. On motion of Councilman Miller, seconded by Councilman Blake, that the Mayor appoint.a Council Committee..to look. into the alternatives of the disposition of the Cornet Store and property. Motion carried. Mayor Whelchel appointed Councilman Blake and Councilman Spring to this Council Committee. Mr. Gail Moyes, representing the Elks.Club, appeared before the City Council asking for permission to occupy the Cornet Store building for a rummage sale March 2, 3 and 4, 1967. After discussion by the': City Council it was moved by Councilman Miller, seconded by Councilman Blake, that the request of the Elks Club for the use of a rummage sale in the Cornet Store be denied. Motion carried. Mayor Whelchel with the approval of the City Council requested an opinion from the City Planning Commission on possible uses of the Cornet Store building and property. 11. Communication from Dr. Lewis Tedone, representing the Mission High School Parents' Club, requesting that the City Council again consider installation of stop signs at all corners of Peach and Broad Streets and Mill,and Broad Streets. Dr. Tedone stated that due to the heavy traffic and high speed traffic on Broad Street, this was a_ definite hazard to all children who were required to cross the street to and from school. The City Council discussed with. the staff various approaches to protecting the children using these intersections at several short periods during each day. Mr. Romero, City Engineer, stated that it was practically impossible for vehicles to exit from the freeway at Broad Street at speeds greater than 25 miles per hour, therefore, a stop sign controlling this movement was unnecessary and might, in fact, result in an increase in accidents due to rear end collisions. He recommended that if the,Council wishes to, have stop signs installed on Broad Street that signs should be removed on Peach in order to not unnecessarily restrict traffic movement. _1 C City Council Minutes February 6, 1967 Page 7 Police Chief, E. L. Rodgers, stated that he felt that the school zone was adequately posted and that the placement of a four way stop had a tendency to give the children the idea that they could cross the street at will and not pay•any'attention -to the traffic. He stated he thought the psychological effect of stop signs would be more detrimental to children than they would be of any help. Chief Rodgers stated that he conducted a survey on the prior request and that he found that out of 39 or 40 cars that passed that area during the time that these children were on their way to school, only one was found to be speeding and that one person was a Mission High School student. He felt that there were only two peak periods of school traffic which were in the a.m. and approximately 2 :30 to 3:30 p.m. and that this did'not justify a four way stop. Mayor Whelchel stated that he felt that in view of the safety of children that is involved, that four way stop signs should be placed at both intersections as requested. Chief Rodgers suggested that before the City Council made a decision, that possibly additional current traffic counts of both intersections should be made. On motion of Councilman Spring, seconded by Mayor Whelchel, the following resolution was introduced. Resolution No. 1654, a resolution establishing stop signs on Broad Street at Peach Street. Passed and adopted on the following roll call vote: AYES: Frank Gallagher, Arthur F. Spring, Clell W. Whelchel NOES: Donald Q. Miller, Emmons Blake ABSENT: None 13..

It was the desire of the Commission that the natural stream channel traversing.the property be left in its present - state. Mr.-Thompson, Water Department,Director; stated that.it was his recommendation that in accordance with Council policy that Item 2 of the Planning Commission ' recommendations, the 8" water line in Alrita Street from Flora Street be paid by the developer of the Tract: ..0 Leonard Blaser, developer, stated that he objected to being required to pay for the 8" water main in Alrita Street as he felt that over the years, either through special assessment or tract charges for other subdivisions, that he had more than contributed to the City water system... He also felt that having paid for the hydro - pneumatic system on Flora Street that it should be the City's responsibility to place the line to serve this tract. City Council Minutes February 6, 1967 Page 8 Mr.-Thompson, Water Superintendent, explained to the-City Council-the-ideal development for.water service for the entire Johnson - Flora - Alrita Street area. On motion of Councilman Miller, seconded by Councilman Blake, the water superin- tendent was instructed to prepare a report on past water service to this area, recommendation for considering adequate service to this portion of the City with a copy of the report to Mr. Blaser for his reaction prior to the next Council meeting.

Communication from D: F: Romero, City Engineer, notifying the City Council that the State Division of Highways has informed the City that the connection of the Industrial Annexation Access Road to serve the Faultless Starch Company must be developed with the proper transition to serve the ultimate needs and must be developed at this time and the State Division of Highways did not agree with the City's plan for stage construction with the future widening to take place at the time the State widens Edna Road. Mr. Romero, City Engineer, stated that the implicati6n of this request is that the City will have to acquire additional property from the adjacent owners to install the proper transition. On motion of Councilman Miller, seconded by Councilman Gallagher, that the City Engineer was to inform the Division of Highways'that if the State wants this land improvement then let the State acquire the land and the City will do the necessary paving.
