Councilman Spring brought to the Council's attention the condition of Creeks within the City of San Luis Obispo particularly where persons other than property 1 owners dump trash, garbage, etc., and hoped that the material would be washed away by subsequent rains. He continued that he felt that the Creeks are a great asset to the City of San Luis Obispo and that they should be cleaned up in order to enhance the properties adjacent thereto. He urged that a study be made by the City Council to enact an ordinance to severely punish persons dumping in the Creeks. Councilman"Blake stated he agreed with the comments made by Councilman Spring and that he too would like to see the City take some action to beautify the. Creeks within the City. 1 1 City Council Minutes October 23, 1967 Page 3 D. F. Romero, City Engineer, explained to the City Council the provisions of existing ordinances dealing with dumping on private property including creeks. The City Council then discussed the best way to enforce the regulations dealing with dumping on private property within the City. D. F. Romero, City Engineer, asked for Council guidance on enforcing existing anti - litter and dumping ordinances within the City. Mayor Whelchel suggested that this matter be referred to a Council Committee to study the problem and establish guidelines for the Public Works Department's guidance. The City Council concurred with the Mayor's recommendation and the Mayor appointed Councilman Spring and Councilman Blake as a Council Committee to study problems regarding dumping in the Creeks and make report of recommendations to the City Council. 4. At•this time the City Council held a public hearing on the report of the Superintendent of Streets on the cost of work to complete sidewalks under the 1911 Act on the-following properties. A. T.

Whelchel NOES: None ABSENT: None 16. Councilman Miller stated he felt the City Council should meet with the School Board to discuss mutual problems effecting the School Board and the City of San Luis Obispo. He further stated that he felt the City Council should also meet with President Kennedy and his staff from CaV Poly to discuss problems involving the City, the College, students and faculty. For example, he felt that had the City Council discussed the matter of the,purchase of the property at Laguna Lake that the matter would have been brought to a successful conclusion many months ago. He felt that discussions should be held with Cal Poly regarding off campus property and the campus traffic problems. Councilman Miller suggested that these meetings should be set up on a quarterly basis with the full Council in attendance. Councilman Blake agreed with the suggestion of Councilman Miller stating he felt that- the School Board and the City Council should meet to discuss. areas of mutual concern. He also agreed that the matter of the Laguna Lake property would have been terminated successfully with face -to -face discussions with the School Board. Councilman Gallagher stated that he agreed to meet with the School Board and /or Cal Poly whenever problems arise of mutual concern, but he did not want to meet on a regular basis just to have a meeting with another group. Mayor Whelchel suggested that one area of discussion between the School District, Cal -Poly and the Junior College District and the City might be a discuss.ion of the construction of a football stadium for use by all ,the High Schools, Junior College and Cal Poly rather than for each school to build their own facility. R. D. Miller, Administrative Officer, was requested to make arrangements for a joint meeting with President Kennedy and the Unified School District Board. 6. Communication from D. F. Romero, City Engineer, forwarding traffic counts for the -intersection of California and Mill Streets for the justification of.the installation of traffic signals and traffic counts for the intersection of Bishop and Johnson Avenue for the justification of traffic signals. Mr. Romero stated that on the basis of the traffic counts made, the intersection of California and Mill Streets would meet minimum State Warrant for traffic signals in about two years. He stated that a traffic signal at this intersection would cause some delay on California Boulevard and would undoubtedly increase rear end collisions due to the visibility problem for "south bound traffic on California Boulevard. He stated that a traffic signal would be warranted at the intersection of Bishop and Johnson Avenue in approximately five years. Communication from M. Lacey, Principal, Pacheco Elementary School, urging that the City Council install a permanent traffic signal system at California'and Mill Streets as soon as possible in order to protect children and other pedestrians using this intersection. Mayor Whelchel stated that he hoped the City Council would order the installation of traffic signals at California and Mill Streets prior to the fall of 1968. On motion of Mayor Whelchel, seconded by Councilman Gallagher, the City Engineer be ordered to prepare plans and specifications for installation of traffic signals at California and Mill Streets by September 1968. Motion carried. Councilman Blake voting no. 1 1 I� u City Council Minutes October 23, 1967 Page 5 25. On motion of Councilman Spring, seconded by Councilman Gallagher, the request of the State of California for request of cancellation of City taxes on property acquired for street widening purposes on Santa Rosa Street was ordered cancelled. Motion carried. 24. On motion of Councilman Gallagher, seconded by Councilman.Miller, the following resolution was introduced. Resolution No. 1752, a resolution changing the 1967/68 budget. Passed and adopted on the following roll call vote: AYES: Emmons Blake, Frank Gallagher, Arthur F. Spring, Donald Q. Miller, Clell W. Whelchel NOES: None ABSENT: None 5. At this time the City Council held a public hearing on the appeal oo.the affected property owners from a decision of the Planning Commission in denying the requested rezoning from R -2 and R -4 to R -C that property bounded generally by Taft Street, California Boulevard, Stafford Street and Kentucky Avenue. The City Clerk read a letter from owners Shaw, Noggle, Halford, Nelson, Gleason, Marques, Paulsen, Jones, Shoop and VanderVoort on requesting that the City Council overrule the denial by the Planning Commission of their requested rezoning to R -C. R. D. Young, Planning Director, presented for the Council's information the Planning Commission recommendation of September 13, 1967 recommending rezoning considerations of the property being considered by the City Council at this time. The Planning Commission felt that commercial zoning should not extend beyond the alley between Stafford and Taft Streets, as Stafford Street was designed to serve residential properties.. The development_ of R -C uses along Stafford Street would generate commercial traffic through the residential neighborhood to the north. Also R -C zoning in this area would lead to future encroachment of commercial uses in an established residential area. The Planning Commission recommended that the area north of the alley between Stafford and Taft Streets be retained in its present R -2 classification. They also recommended that the property at the northwest corner of Taft and Kentucky bounded by the alley, Kentucky, Motley and Taft Street be considered R -C and that the property on the south side of Taft Street between California Boulevard and the Freeway be rezoned from C -N -S to R -C. Mayor Whelchel declared the public hearing open. A. R. Noggle, Stafford Street, urged that the City Council consider this block for commercial use as this matter has been kicked around since.July and he hoped the City Council would rezone this property tonight. ' J. Jones, Stafford Street, asked that the City Council rezone his property for commercial use so he could realize his property's highest value potential. S. Marques stated that this_area.is no longer a quiet residential area but a commercial area and the property should be zoned for that use. R. D. Young, Planning Director, read letters objecting to.the original zoning request to the Planning Commission and presented at the Planning Commission meeting. City Council Minutes October 23, 1967 Page 6 Mrs. A. Shaw, Kentucky Street, stated that she originally objected to the zoning on Taft Street but now that the City Council has zoned a portion of the block for commercial• use, she feels the whole block should be rezoned. Mayor Whelchel declared the public hearing closed. Councilman Blake stated that he had originally opposed the rezoning to R -C and . supported the denial of the Planning Commission but he felt after the action taken ' by the City Council to rezone the corner of California and Taft, he stated he would go along with the present recommendation of the Planning Commission to rezone that property lying between Taft Street and the alley to R -C. He agreed that if the rezoning continued to Stafford Street there would be no logical. reason to not continue ;the rezoning to the College. He felt thatthe alley would be a good buffer strip. Further, he suggested that future rezonings in this area be classified with a suffix "S" to require use permit control. Councilman Gallagher stated that he agreed with Councilman Blake that the rezoning should go to the alley although he had opposed the original action by the City Council he felt now that this would square the property off with a more logical zone line. Councilman Miller agreed with Councilman Blake and Councilman Gallagher to use the alley as the buffer strip and also agreed with the use of the "S" classification. Councilman Spring stated he agreed with the recommendation of the Planning Commission to rezone the property to the alley to R -C and across Kentucky Street to R -H. Mayor Whelchel stated that he would like to use Stafford St: and not the alley as recommended by the Planning Commission be a just rezoning action. On motion of Councilman Blake, seconded by Councilman Sprin Commission be requested to hold hearings for the purpose of from Taft Street to the alley, from California Boulevard to and the property east of Kentucky and north of Taft to R -H.. ^eet as the zone line as he felt this would z, that the Planning , rezoning that property Kentucky Street to R -C -S Motion carried. On motion of Councilman Blake, seconded by Councilman Spring, that the appeal of the rezoning be denied. Motion carried. 7. At this time the City Council held a public.hearing on the appeal of Paul Rich from a denial by the Planning Commission requesting the zoning change from R -1 to R -H of Lots 103 and 104 of the California Park Tract. R. D. Young, Planning Director, presented the following reasons for the denial of the requested rezoning by the Planning Commission. (1) The subject property contains approximately 24,900 square feet. The application of R -H zoning would permit the development of a maximum of 20 multiple family units. (2) Approval of R -H zoning could set a precedent for rezoning other contiguous R- l.parcels; therefore leading to a further encroachment into an established single family residential area. (3) The existing R -3 district contiguous to the north and west provides a I transition or buffer area between the residential area and foothill and California Boulevard. (4) The Commission is of the opinion that the present multiple family residential boundary -line is logical. Carpenter and Hathway Streets were not designed to carry high density traffic. The adjacent single family area is a very good area and should be maintained. The City Clerk read a communication from Harold Hilderbrand, 174 Carpenter Street, submitting his protest to the rezoning of this property to any use other than single family residential. City Council Minutes October 23, 1967 Page 7 Mayor Whelchel declared the public hearing open. Mr. Paul Rich requested that the City Council overrule the denial of the Planning Commission and grant him his requested rezoning to R -H. He stated that due to the size and shape of his property it can neither be sold or developed for R- l.uses and the logictil'development'would be to high density residential uses. He stated that the adjoining property owner to the west was planning on constructing a 30 or more unit apartment building in the near future. He also stated that he was convinced that the future development of the entire area in time would be to high density residential uses for the support of student body and faculty of the College and he felt that now was the time to start this development. Mr. Rich then explained existing traffic patterns in the neighborhood. Mr. Bert Fellows, 208 Hathway Avenue, stated he opposed the rezoning appeal and urged that the City Council uphold the Planning Commission and deny this request. He stated he felt this was a fine residential area and hoped that the City Council would not destroy it by allowing high density uses in the area. Mrs. Hilderbrand, 174 Carpenter Street, asked that the City Council not approve this rezoning and urged the City Council to protect the single family development in the area and keep the zoning as it is now. Dr. A. McCapes, 215 Hathway Avenue, urged that the City Council not rezone the property as requested-in order to protect this fine residential area. He,urged that the City Council uphold the decision of the Planning Commission. J. B. Dewar, 188 Hathway Avenue, urged the City Council not to rezone this property to R -H. Paul Rich again asked the City Council that they rezone his property for multiple residential use. J. Jones, 1810 Sydney Street, stated he was in favor of the Paul Rich request and further he was going to develop apartment houses on his property adjacent to the Paul Rich property. Mayor Whelchel declared the public hearing closed. Councilman Gallagher stated that he was opposed to this rezoning due to the increase that additional apartments would add to the traffic and to the development in the area. Councilman Spring stated he was opposed to this rezoning due to the higher uses allowed by R -H classification which he felt would not be compatible to the residences in the area. Councilman Blake stated he opposed the rezoning as he felt that the area was a high class residential development and should be protected from apartment development and that he would uphold the denial of the Planning Commission. Councilman Miller- stated that he would support the Planning Commission recommendation as he felt that the area was well maintained and that rezoning to multiple uses would be detrimental to the area. ' Mayor Whelchel stated that he felt that in time additional multiple land will have to be rezoned in the vicinity of Cal Poly as he has been told by College representatives that they will need 3,000 additional housing units within the next 10 years. The Mayor felt that this rezoning should be the result of a comprehensive study of the entire area. Further, if there were no plans to develop the suggested property at this time, he too would oppose the rezoning. On motion of Councilman Blake, seconded by Councilman Gallagher, that the appeal be denied. Motion carried. City Council Minutes October 23, 1967 Page 8 9:05 P.M. Mayor Whelchel declared a recess. 9:15 P.M.. the City Council reconvened with all Councilmen present. 8. R. Lancaster, owner of Lot 33 and 34 McDougal Subdivision property located at the corner of Palm and Santa Rosa Streets, appeared before the City Council stating that he would sell all his right and title to the land and improvements on this property to the City for the sum of $35,000. He continued that he had been discuss- ing this matter with the City Attorney and other members of the City staff who wished to acquire enough property for the widening of Santa Rosa Street. He stated he felt taking this strip of land off his property would make it too small for development if something were to happen to the dwelling presently on the property. He stated he felt he would be better off if the City purchased the entire parcel. Mr. Lancaster also stated that his mortgage holder notified him that they would not allow a reduction in the land area if taken by the City and that they would require him to pay off his complete loan at the time of this segregation. The City Council discussed .with Mr. Lancaster the purchase of his property by the City for street widening purposes. The City Attorney stated that at the direction of the City Council he had offered Mr. Lancaster $32,500 as the City's maximum offer. The discussion then evolved around the value of the land and building that would be left in Mr. Lancaster's ownership after the street was widened. John Kuden, Realtor, asked the City Council if they had discussed with the adjoining property owner to see if they would be interested in purchasing the parcel of land from-the City after the street has been widened. H. Johnson, City Attorney, stated he is exploring this approach with the adjoining property owner. The City Attorney was requested by the City Council to get additional information . and values to acquire only that portion of the Lancaster property needed for street widening and also to determine severance damage if any. On motion of Councilman Gallagher, seconded by Councilman Spring, the matter was continued to November 6, 1967. 9. Communication from the residents of Carpenter Lane and vicinity expressing their dissatisfaction with the proposed plan relative to the problem caused by the water run off from San Luis Mountain. They felt that the underground drainage system as proposed by.the City Engineer to Mission Street from Broad Street to the Creek will in no way alleviate the real problem where it exists. They also questioned the City's attitude that Carpenter Lane is not a City street as it has never been dedicated by the City. The property owners felt that this Lane has been used by residents and citizens of this community for many years and is considered a City street. They requested that the City Council enlarge the proposed program in order to alleviate the flooding problem for the residents further up the hill. D. F. Romero, City Engineer, explained the drainage problem and the scope of the work to be accomplished under the budget of 1967/68. He pointed out that the drainage installation proposed would not solve the surface run -off problem down Carpenter Lane at this time, however the improvement would be a stage of an ultimate drainage system for the area. Councilman Gallagher stated that it was his understanding during the budget hearings that the City Engineer was to bring back a plan to the City Council that would handle this drainage problem from the top of the hill above Broad Street. City Council Minutes October 23, 1967 Page 9 Councilman Spring stated it was his understanding that originally the City was to place a drop inlet at the top of Carpenter Lane and then let the water find its own way down Mission Street to the Creek. D. F. Romero, City Engineer, explained that a detailed presentation had been made to the Council on July 5, 1967 but that the Council had taken no action to include this within the budget. He explained further that one of the alternatives presented would involve surface drainage on Mission Street, however the Council had adopted the-more desirable underground drainage recommendation in the budget. D. F. Romero stated that the estimated additional cost to extend the storm drain from Broad Street to the top of Carpenter Lane would be $5,000. On motion of Councilman Gallagher, seconded by Councilman Spring, that the City Engineer prepare plans and specifications for construction of a drainage system from the top of Carpenter Lane to be constructed in the spring of 1968 and to proceed with the lower drain as approved in the budget. Councilman Blake objected to the City paying the cost of drainage on unimproved streets. Motion carried. Councilman Blake voting no. 10. The drainage problems on McCollum Street were continued to.November 6, 1967. 11. D. F. Romero, City Engineer, presented for the Council's consideration the acceptance of Tract No. 305, Johnson Highlands. Mr. Romero stated that the Tract was complete as required under the subdivision agreement except for the placement of pumps to serve properties above elevation 460 as required by the agreement. Except for this item all off site improvements were complete and ready for acceptance by.the City. E. P. Thompson, Water Department Director, upon question, stated that he felt.before the City Council accepted the Tract that these pumps should be placed on the property and tested because if the Tract is accepted without these improvements the City.will assume some responsibility and he felt these should be put in by the subdivider prior-to acceptance. On motion of Councilman Gallagher, seconded by Councilman Spring, that the City Council deny acceptance of the Tract until the pumps are in and all conditions of the subdivision agreement have been complied with. Motion carried. 13. At this time the City Council took final action on the sale of the Cornet Store property. Mr. John Reid stated that his principals will purchase the property under the conditions of the public auction and would like to close the escrow on Wednesday, October 25 or Thursday, October 26, 1967 so that they may begin rennovation of the building immediately. Mr. Reid also stated that all leases have been consummated. On motion of Councilman Blake, seconded by Councilman Gallagher, that the closing date for purchase of the property be extended to October 30, 1967. Motion carried. On motion of Councilman Blake, seconded by Councilman Gallagher, the following ordinance was introduced. Ordinance No. 394, an ordinance confirming the sale and authorizing execution of the deed to certain property at 746 Higuera Street. Introduced and passed to print on the following roll call vote: AYES: Emmons Blake, Frank Gallagher, Arthur F. Spring, Donald Q. Miller, Clell W. Whelchel NOES: None ABSENT: None City Council Minutes October 23, 1967 Page 10 R. D. Young, Planning Director, presented a sketch for the Council's information on the proposed pedestrian walkway easements to the rear of the stores facing Higuera Street from the Cigar Factory property to the Warden Bridge. He continued that he felt a six to eight foot walkway along the upper bank of the Creek would be a satisfactory width for this walkway. Mayor Whelchel asked the City staff to look into the acquisition of easement or licenses from property owners for the installation of walkways along the Creek bank and for landscaping along the Creek. H. Johnson, City Attorney, explained various problems involved in acquiring easements or licenses for pedestrian walkways along San Luis Creek. The City Council then discussed the best approach to start landscaping that portion of the Mission Plaza under City control at this time. 14. W. E. Flory, Director of Parks and Recreation, presented for the City Council a report on the proposed classroom and rifle range to be constructed at the City Sewer Farm in conjunction with the Fire Training Center. Mr. Flory stated that the original plan was to move two buildings from Camp San Luis Obispo to the Fire Training site and remodel the buildings for use as classrooms and a rifle range. Upon further study it was determined that the cost would be prohibitive for the results achieved in remodeling these buildings. Mr. Flory continued that various members of the rifle clubs had received commitments from businessmen, contractors, and building supply people who would contribute. labor, material, and sell material at cost for an adequately designed rifle range. ' The new proposal would be for a concrete block building with a regular size NRA rifle range and classrooms. The estimated cost including the donated equipment, etc., would be approximately $5,500. E. L. Rodgers, Police Chief, explained the scope and cost of converting Reservoir No. 1 into an approved FBI type pistol range. He stated that it would cost approximately $2,500 to convert the reservoir into an adequate pistol range. He continued that an enlarged area at the proposed sewer farm site would be satisfactory to him and his Department if adequate time could be scheduled for use by the Police Officers. R. D. Miller, Administrative Officer, brought to the Council's attention the matter of the Charter requirement of calling for bids on City projects over $2,000. . H. Johnson, City Attorney, suggested that the City Council call for bids and then reject all bids and let the City do the work with the contributions of labor and material. On motion of Councilman Miller, seconded by Councilman Gallagher, the City Engineer was authorized to prepare plans and specifications and call for bids for construction of the rifle range and.classrooms. Motion carried. On motion of Councilman Gallagher, seconded by Councilman Miller, the following resolution was introduced. Resolution No. 1757, a resolution increasing the 1967/68 budget.

The matter of the exiactment of a deed transfer tax was continued so that the City Attorney could coordinate this ordinance with the County of San Luis Obispo. 18. Report by the City Attorney on requirements of other cities requiring bonds and sufficient insurance to protect the City when street work is being done by private individuals was discussed by the City Council. The City Council discussed the need of requiring the stringent insurance coverage for private citizens doing their own work on their own property.
