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

mation for the reason for this request for a Youth Needs Survey.

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.

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.

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.

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...

that it should be the City's responsibility to place the line to serve this
