A. Councilman Spring reported to the City Council on the Council Committee's
investigation of the request that Mill Street between Broad and Nipomo Streets
be opened for access to adjacent properties.
He continued that he had discussed this matter with property owners and princi-
pals of organizations involved, .;and while several felt they would like the street
to continue to be closed they realized there was no legal basis for this'and
would therefore go along with the.opening of the street.

He further stated that his investigation showed that when this street was closed
it was done without official authority of the City Council and that there was no
legal basis for closing the street.
Councilman Miller, the other member of the Council Committee, concurred in the
recommendation of Councilman Spring, that Mill Street be opened as requested.
Robert Janssen, former business manager of San Luis Obispo Blues baseball
team, stated that in order to keep the baseball park in Mission Field usable,
the left field fence would have to stay where it is presently located, otherwise
the field would not be suitable for tournaments and other baseball activities.
He further stated that the use of Sinsheimer Baseball Park was still a full year
away. He urged the Council to consider postponing a decision to open this street
at this time.
J..-Stockton, Acting Park and Recreation Director, stated that he did not feel that
Sinsheimer Park would be ready for regular play during the 1969 season as the grass
and turf were just getting started and would not be strong enough to handle the
regular season and further explained that constant use would not be allowed until
1970.
The matter was continued to January 20, 1969, and was referred back to the Council
Committee for further consideration.
1. Traffic Committee Report of December 20, 1968.
69 -1 -1T The Traffic Committee has received a request from Grundell and Fredman
that the parking pattern in front of their law offices be changed from unre-
stricted to a two -hour limit. They complain about many all -day parkers and the
fact that many of their clients are not aware of the off - street parking provided.
The Traffic Committee feels that this request is justified and recommends the
two -hour time limit.
We also recommend a two -hour limit for the rest of this block and the block to
the south extending from Mill to Palm as these areas are widened. We likewise
recommend two -hour time limits across the street from the law offices on the east
side of Santa Rosa between Mill and Peach except for the existing green zones.
69 -1 -2C The Traffic Committee has studied the suggestion that parking be elimi-
nated on Santa Rosa over the 101 Freeway and•feels that.this suggestion has merit.
We therefore recommend that red zones be installed on both sides of Santa Rosa
Street between Walnut and Olive.
69 -1 -4T The-Police Department has noted a dangerous condition for motorists
leaving the Cal Poly parking lot, located near the corner of Slack and Motley
Streets. We feel that visibility would be improved if parking were eliminated
for a distance of thirty feet east of the driveway, this being on the north side
of Slack Street.
69 -1 -5T The Traffic Committee has considered a request from the California
Highway Patrol that one car space on either side of their driveway on-California
Boulevard be marked as a red zone. We agree that this would make for A safer
condition in the area and so recommend.
69 -1 -6T The Traffic Committee has received a request from the new tenants of
the old Department of Motor Vehicles office at 309 Higuera that the forty feet
of loading zone in front of this location be replaced with a standard two -hour
time limit. We so recommend.
69 -1 -7T The Traffic Committee has received a request from Paul's Cleaners that
the red zone in front of their establishment be extended to the north to include
the curbing between their two driveways. In the interest of traffic safety and
to ease congestion in the-area, we so recommend.
City Council Minutes
January 6, 1969
Page 3
69 -1 -1OT The Traffic Committee has been studying the problem of traffic congestion
at Madonna Road and Higuera Street and feels that flows would be expedited if the
present channelization at that intersection were changed to include two eastbound lanes
of traffic on Madonna Road.approaching Higuera. In our opinion, this would require
the removal of all parking on the east side of Higuera from Madonna to South Street.
While studying this general area, we also took a look at the east side of Higuera
immediately north of South Street and feel that parking should be eliminated to the
driveway leading into the ADX Drug Store..
69 -1 -11T At the request of the school district, the Traffic Committee has taken a
look at the present pattern of bus loading and unloading at the Emerson and Hawthorne
Schools and has the following recommendation.
(a) That the existing bus loading zone at Emerson School which is located west
of the green zone at the corner of Nipomo be moved in an easterly direction to start
at the corner and that the present green zone be moved to the west of the relocated
bus zone.
(b) That a bus loading zone be installed on the north side of Branch Street
alongside.Hawthorne School, such zone to start at the corner and run in a westerly
direction for sixty feet. We feel that the present green zone located at the corner
should be moved to the west of the new bus zone and extend for forty feet.
If if felt that the above changes will make a safer pattern for buses loading and
unloading youngsters in that the bus will not have to run through the area where
students are getting out of passenger cars prior to the time the bus discharges its
passengers.
On motion of Councilman Miller, seconded by Councilman Gallagher, the following
resolution was introduced. Resolution No. 1894, a resolution establishing parking
restrictions on Santa Rosa Street, on Slack Street, on California Boulevard, on
Higuera Street, rescinding a loading zone on Higuera Street and establishing a bus
loading and a green zone on Pismo Street-and on Branch Street.
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
69 -1 -3C In accordance with the Council's request, the Traffic Committee has given
further study to the pedestrian counts recently made in the California - Hathway area.
As a result of this study, we recommend the following.
(a) Procedures should be initiated to install sidewalks on the east side of
California between Hathway and Foothill where they do not presently exist.
(b) On Hathway, we recommend that all trees and other obstructions to ped-
estrian access be cleared for a-distance of six feet back from the curb face. We
recommend that the City Attorney be asked to write to the property owners on both
sides'of Hathway between California and Carpenter Lane, instructing them to clear
all such obstructions. If there are:.unusual circumstances which the property owner
would like to talk about, we feel they should feel free to come in and discuss the
' matter. We believe that this is only an interim step toward the ultimate goal of
sidewalks, but we do feel that the safety of pedestrians in this busy area would
be enhanced, if they had some place to walk besides the middle of the street.
The City Council accepted the recommendation of the Traffic Committee.
69 -1 -8T In view of changed conditions, the City Engineer has recommended that some
change in speed limit be considered for that portion of Madonna Road lying adjacent
to the new shopping center. If the Council has no objection, we have asked the
Engineer to conduct a speed zone study at this location.

The recommendation was accepted, with the City Engineer to extend the study to
Los Osos Road.
69 -1 -9T The Traffic Committee has taken a look at the lighting situation in front
of the new shopping center on Madonna Road and recommends that a large mercury
vapor lamp be installed on an existing wooden pole opposite the main entrance to
the shopping center.
The recommendation was accepted.
2. Communication from the San Luis Obispo County Historical Society notifying the
City Council that the Society would be interested in working with the City to im-
prove the Murray Adobe on Monterey Street.
A committee of Society members was appointed towork with the City Council for
preservation and improvement of this adobe.
On motion of Mayor Whelchel, seconded by Councilman Blake, the offer of help was
accepted, and the Planning Director, City Engineer and Building Inspector were
instructed to meet with representatives of the Historical.Society to see what im-
provements might be made to the Murray Adobe. Motion carried.
3. Communication from the Division of Highways forwarding a cooperative agreement
for construction of a traffic control signal system and highway lighting for the
intersection of Murray Avenue and State Highway Route 1.
D. F. Romero, City Engineer, explained the scope of the work being prepared by the
Division of Highways and stated that the City's share of the cost was estimated to
be $14,500.
On motion of Councilman Gallagher, seconded by Councilman Blake, the following
resolution was introduced. Resolution No. 1895, a resolution approving the co-
operative agreement with the State Division of Highways for signals and lighting
at Murray Street and Highway No. 1.
Passed and adopted on the following roll call vote:
AYES: Emmons Blake, Frank Gallagher, Arthur F. Spring,

3A. The City Clerk presented a letter from the State Division of Highways informing
the City that the local office is proceeding with the preparation of plans and speci-
fications for traffic signals at the intersection of Madonna Road and Highway 101
southbound off ramp. This improvement will be installed at State expense with a
future discussion and agreement to be reached relative to maintenance.
4. Communication from the Obispo Beautiful Association, signed by Miss Margaret
Maxwell stating that the Association had decided in'July 1968 to recommend to the
City Council that a small, simple type of directional sign be installed directing
people to the freeway entrances.
Miss Maxwell stated that due to a.. misunderstanding she had not forwarded this in-
formation to the City Council.
The Association recommended that the sign be in the shape of an arrow and be no
longer than 18" or higher than 6" with letters saying FREEWAY, no larger than 4"
high.
D. F. Romero, City Engineer, reminded the City Council that this matter had been
referred to the Obispo Beautiful Association..maay months ago and as they had not
heard from the Association, the Council at the meeting of December 16, 1968 had
authorized purchase of the necessary materials to make these directional signs
recommended by him.

He continued that the materials had been ordered and should be recieved at any
time.
R. Dunin, Obispo Beautiful Association, asked that the City compromise on the sign
that they have approved and the one recommended by the Association and make the
sign smaller and remove the background.
' D. F. Romero presented a facsimile sketch of the sign that is being ordered.
He continued that without background the sign would be difficult for tourists to
see and would also be flimsy.
R. Leitcher, Obispo Beautiful Association, stated on behalf of Obispo Beautiful
Association that the sign proposed by the City was too large and he further felt
that there was no need for these signs as we have gone this long without them.
D. F. Romero again stated that he felt there was a definite need for these signs.
The recommendation of the Obispo Beautiful Association was ordered received and
filed, as the sign material had been ordered. The Council stated it was unfor-
tunate that the Association's recommendation had not been received by the Council
prior to this time.
6. At this time the City Council held.a public hearing on Resolution No. 1877,
a resolution requiring sidewalk improvements on portions of various streets in the
City of San Luis Obispo.

No one appeared before the City Council.
Mayor Whelchel declared the public hearing closed.
Councilman Miller-asked the City Council, on behalf-.of Henry Diel; 1616 Sydney
Street, that his property be exempt from placing sidewalks due to financial
hardship and the fact that Mr. Diel is attempting to get his property rezoned
and until this rezoning is approved he will not know the location of driveways.
Councilman Miller continued that he felt property on.the arterial streets near
Johnson Avenue should not be rezoned for single family residence.
Councilman Blake stated that he did not feel that the Diel property should be
exempt from placing the required improvements as he felt that this improvement
would complete the sidewalks in the general area.

I. The subject property is 91,000 sq. ft. in area and located at 620 California
Boulevard, adjacent to the U.S. Freeway 101 off ramp.

adjouning properties, the Commission amended the zone change to include the "S"
(design control) designation.

ordinance was introduced. Ordinance No. 439, an ordinance rezoning property
located on the east side of California Boulevard between.Freeway 101 and Phillips
Lane, 628 California Boulevard from R -1 to R -O -S.

5. D. F. Romero, City Engineer, presented for the Council's information.a current
aerial photo map of existing conditions and uses at Laguna Lake Park and stated
that the fill being deposited was in accordance with the master plan presented
by Hector a number of years ago which would eventually eliminate marsh areas and
create stable land areas for water oriented recreation. In his opinion, this use
was of greater benefit to the community than bird sanctuary and other marsh uses.
He stated further that there.was a considerable savings in the City work and.City
contract to have a site such as this for deposit of surplus materials. Eventually
there is a liklihood, when all sites are eliminated within the community, that
the earth moving costs will rise greatly.
Wes Conner, Vice - Chairman of the Park and Recreation Commission, appeared before
the City Council and objected to the continuation of dumping of any type of fill
material at Laguna Lake as he felt this filling,of the marsh area was detrimental
to the biological studies that could be made at the park and was also a detriment
to the wildlife who inhabited this rare marsh complex.
He further asked that the dumping that has been accomplished be cleaned up so as
not to encourage further dumping, particularly along'Madonna Road._
Dr. Roest, Audubon Society, "asked that the City Council prohibit dumping in the
marsh area at Laguna Lake as he felt it must be,kept for its scenic value,.for
wildlife use and for scientific value for Cuesta College and Cal Poly. He urged
the City Council not to destroy the marsh as it can be a tourist attraction.
D. F. Romero, stated that if the City is not allowed to use Laguna Lake to dump
fill material from City projects it would become necessary to haul fill material
outside the City limits or even to the City dump.
Wes Conner again objected to Laguna Lake being used as a dump on the basis of
economics.
Councilman Miller suggested that the Public Works Department make a study of areas
within the City where fill material could be dumped without interfering.with.the
scenic beauty of the City. He stated that he'felt that the dumping should cease
immediately at Laguna Lake.
He also suggested that the City acquire land outside the City limits that could
be used for dumping fill material.
On motion of Councilman Gallagher, seconded by Councilman Miller,. that no further
dumping be allowed in the Laguna Lake area. Motion carried..
1 9. Communication from the Downtown Association requesting that the City Council
consider lowering the parking meters in the City owned parking lots to two hours
for five cents and four hours for ten cents.
The Association felt that the extra time would allow the.customers to do.their
shopping without worrying about getting a parking ticket.
R. Leitcher, Downtown Association, asked that at the same time the City Council
consider making all the parking lots the same rate, and that the rate be two
hours for five cents and four hours for ten cents,

Myron Graham urged the Council to take some action to help the merchants with
their parking problem.
Councilman Gallagher stated he did not feel that this change should be made at
this time but that the City should wait six to eight months to see what effect
the new shopping center on Madonna Road will have on downtown businesses.
Councilman Blake stated that he agreed with the comments of Councilman Gallagher
and further that he personally checked during the week before Christmas when there
was free parking, and most of the parking spaces were filled by 9:00 by employers
and employees as the stores did not open until 9 :30.
R. Leitcher asked that the City Council appoint a committee to meet with the down-
town merchants to see what could be done to reduce the parking problems.
The matter was referred to the Council Committee of Councilman Blake and Councilman
Spring•
10. Communication from the Downtown Association requesting that the City Council
provide a parking lot for employees and employers cars with a monthly rental fee
of $4.00, with the employers paying part of the employees parking fee. The
Association felt that this proposal would be a good start for making more parking
available.
The matter was referred to the Council Committee on parking.
11. Communication from the Downtown Association thanking the City.Council for
the completion of the new parking lot on Monterey Street and for the new trash
containers which were recently placed on downtown streets.
The letter was ordered received and filed.
12. Communication from J. 0. Richardson requesting the removal of two trees in
front of his property at 1907 Ruth Street which he felt could be on City property
and offered his help in removing these diseased trees.
Lane Wilson, Park and Recreation Supervisor, stated that he had examined the trees
at 1907 Ruth Street and they are in poor condition and one is possibly dead.and
they should be removed before they cause any damage.
He continued that he felt the trees were in the .street right -of -way and.not on pri-
vate property.
R. D. Young, Planning Director, explained that if the trees were on private prop-
erty they must be removed by the property owner, but if they are in the street
right- of-way they would be removed by the City.
The matter was referred to the City Engineer to determine the location of the trees
and report back on January 20, 1969.
9:25 P.M. Mayor Whelchel declared a recess. 9:35 P.M: the meeting recovened
with all Councilmen present.
13. D. F. Romero presented to the City Council "the dumping operation being con-
ducted by the brick yard at their property off Broad Street. He stated that they
were dumping fill in the yard so that it could be back filled into the pit dug
for removal of clay for brick manufacture.
He continued that the fill was needed to bring the ground back to normal level.' 1
On motion of Councilman Gallagher, seconded by Councilman Spring, that the brick.
company be allowed to continue the fill operation with clean fill only under the
supervision of the City Engineer. .
14. Councilman Miller brought to the City Council's attention the need of ap-
pointing an"-aanexation committee having as members, the Mayor and one'member.df'

the Council, the Chairman and one other member of the Planning Commission and
appropriate staff members. This committee would study what areas adjacent to,the
City limits were likely to annex, the economic benefits or problems such annexa-
tions would place on the City, and study the cost of providing.utilities and
streets, etc: to the area.
After discussing the matter the Council felt that there were already enough com-
mittees and groups.working on annexations and until some specific problem was pre-
sented-to the City Council there vas no need for a committee.
15. Councilman Miller brought to the Council's attention the need of appointing
a committee to establish a priority list of capital improvements for the City.
He felt this committee was needed to study projects, listed in priority and then
submit them to the City Council for approval and inclusion in the subsequent budget.
The City Council again discussed this matter and felt that there are several in-
dividual groups already appointed for this, and as this is one of the Planning
Commission's responsibilities they felt that another committee was not needed for
this program.
Sharon Winslow, President of the League of Women Voters of the City of San Luis
Obispo made the following statement on this matter.
I am Sharon Winslow, President of the League of Women Voters of the City of .San.
Luis Obispo. I am here tonight to speak in support of assigning the newly author-
ized Citizen's Advisory Committee the responsibility of formulating a list of
capital improvement priorities for Council consideration instead of giving this
task to another committee.
We suggest this for two reasons: First, the League under its recently adopted-
Fiscal Structure position supports a responsible and responsive Citizen's Advisory
Committee that has among its objectives-capital improvement priorities for the
' City. The existing committee has great potential as a representive body of our
community,-and can be of enormous assistance to the Council in rendering direction
and support for future community development. We suggest the appointment of yet
another citizen's committee to pursue community improvement would dilate what is
the natural province of the present group. Secondly, the guidelines for citizen's
advisory committees under the Workable Program for Community Improvement (U.S.
Department of Houbing and Urban Development) suggests a number of subcommittees
can be organized as an extension of the main group, and lists on pages 9 and 10
capital improvements and annexation among a number of possibilities. The League
of Women Voters respectfully urges the Council to seriously consider these views
in making their decision.
16. Councilman Miller suggested that the City Council should begin discussion
to re- evaluate Council policy in regard to the Chamber of Commerce. He stated
that some of the questions the Council should consider are: The direction the -
City intends to take in tourist and industrial promotion? Should emphasis be
toward tourism? Where do we stand in regard to industrial development? Is our
present City advertising program measuring up to our expectations? Do we plan
to subsidize the Chamber for the coming fiscal year.
Ma or Whelchel felt that it was a subject the Council should study during their
budget deliberations and further that the new Council to be elected in April should
consider this problem. He felt that the existing program had been approved in°
the budget and the funds were - already committed.
Rev. Loughran appeared before-the City Council objecting to the Council subsidi-
zing the Chamber of Commerce with tax payers money. He said that the Chamber of
Commerce nation wide has been a great consumer of government subsidies and he
felt that the local agency should not accept City funds but should be forced to
operate through dues, etc.
Further, he felt that funds that were being used for the Chamber of Commerce,
advertising, etc. could be used for the development of a youth program in the
City, in accordance with the report from the Department of Youth Authority. He
also felt that if the City had so much money they could provide a bus system with-
in the City for youth and senior citizens.

Councilman Blake stated that he felt the advertising program of the City.-was a
good one and-was doing the job quite well.
He then presented examples of the types of publicity and news stories presented
throughout the nation's news media advertising the benefits of visiting San-Luis
Obispo.
Councilman Blake,continued that the advertising program is paid for from bed tax
funds collected by the hotels.and.motels and that as more.tourists and visitors I
come to San Luis Obispo this fund will build on itself. He felt it was a good
program for the City.
Councilman Miller stated that he would rather see the funds given to the Chamber
of Commerce and advertising go toward a youth program and to help develop a bus
system for the community.
R. Dunin, President of the Hotel -Motel Association of the City of San Luis Obispo
stated that he felt that the advertising program of the City had increased the
tourist business in the City.
The matter was received and filed.
17. Councilman Miller suggested that the City Council hold a meeting with the City
Staff to discuss the street widening program, to set new priorities for street
widening and consider which streets should be designated with setback lines.
Mayor Whelchel suggested that this be referred to the .joint meeting of the City
Council and the Planning Commission to be held January 28, 1969.
18. D. F. Romero, City Engineer, presented maps showing three possible alterna-
tives of extending Madonna Road through to South Street or Woodbridge Street over
the Southern Pacific Company right -of -way.
Plan No. 1 would follow Woodbridge Street over the railroad to Bishop Street. 1
Plan No. 2 would follow a route from Madonna Road to South-Street via Brook
Street to Bishop.
Plan No. 3 would follow a route from Madonna Road to Woodbridge Street to South
Street to Bishop Street.
D. F: Romero felt that the third plan would be the best route of.the three.
The matter was referred to the joint Planning Commission, City Council study
meeting of January 28, 1969.
19. Communication from the City Employees Association requesting a meeting with
the City Council regarding Assembly Bill No.-1228, continued from the meeting of
December 16, 1968, was continued until the model ordinance on City Employee or -.
ganizations has been received from the League of California Cities.
20. Communication from the City Engineer regarding revision of street construction
standards was continued to January 20, 1969.
21. Communication from the City Engineer regarding the status of current widening
projects was continued to the meeting of January 20, 1969.
22. C =GLIman C.a_UA& her reported on the investigation by the Police Chief, City
Attorney and himself on the bid received from Bill's Auto Wrecking for the haul-
ing away and disposing of automobiles abandoned within the City of.San Luis.:
Obispo.
He stated that he had met with the bidder and he recommended that the City award
the project as outlined in the bid.
