4. The City Council considered the recommendation of the Planning Commission
to adopt the final environmental impact report for. Tracts 603 and 608 located
north of Descanso Avenue in the 700 through 800 block of Los Osos Valley Road,
consisting of two single family subdivisions with 126 single family home sites
and 78 cluster housing units, Cuesta Associates, applicants.
Dan Smith submitted a recommendation of the Planning Commission which determined
that the final EIR for tentative tract 603 and 608 was found adequate and recommended
approval by the City Council. The environmental impact report included the draft
as well as written responses to public comments prepared by the city's environmental
consultants, Meyer, Merriam and Associates. The Planning Commission recommended
that the City Council.certify that the final environmental impact report for
Tract 603 and 608 was adequate and had been completed in compliance with the CEOA ,
and the environmental guidelines of the City and State of California.
Tom Maple, representing the Meyer, Merriam and Associates, Inc., the consultants
who prepared the environmental impact report,- reviewed for the City Council the
key environmental impacts associated with this proposed development. He stated
that the subject property was comprised of two tracts, 603 and 608 located in
the Laguna Lake area of the city. The applicant proposed to subdivide 41+ acres
of land into 122 single family residential lots and 3 lots which would ultimately
be developed with 78 townhouse units. Approximately 2:3 adfeseofaopen_space were
proposed for dedication with the subdivision._ The project would ultimately house
655 persons. All improvements necessary to serve single family residences and
the townhouse developments would be provided by the developer. Approximately 70%
of the land area in Tract 603 and 50% in Tract 608 would be subject to grading for
streets, utility, and other construction related to the subdivision. Ultimately
the entire land area, except the open space area would be altered as homes were built,
yards were landscaped, and park was developed. When the project was built, approx-
imately 54% of the site would be covered by impermeable surfaces. In addition to
the two-projects under discussion, he stated the report also evaluated the impact
of other improved developments in the Laguna Lake area which had the potential of
accommodating an additional 523 units housing 1,494 persons. He stated all city
and public utilities were adequate to serve the subject - property and the previously
approved projects. Schools serving the area had adequate capacity to accommodate
the additional students generated by this and other previously approved projects.
He continued by stating that the project was in essential compliance with all
ordinances and plans of the City of San Luis Obispo.. Both tracts were developed
under the optional design and improvement standards of the subdivision ordinance.
Before approval o� the project, the Planning Commission must make certain find-
ings which justified the use of the optional standards. The design of Tract 603
would easily support making the necessary findings. Because the design of Tract
608 was substantially the same as a standard subdivision, its justification was
less clear. He then submitted a summary.of adverse environmental effects of the
project, a summary of mitigating measures proposed to reduce the adverse impacts
and a description of the project in existing environmental conditions.
The City Council then discussed at length various aspects of the final EIR with
Tom Maple representing the consultant.

Mayor Schwartz declared'the 'public hearing open.
Don Smith, representing-the Environmental Center of San Luis Obispo, stated
that they were opposed to the:adoption of the environmental impact by the
City Council, as it was their feeling that it was inadequate in various areas
particularly.in relation to park needs, water supply, methods of handling
drainage, the grading, and the quality and quantity of available schools for
' the rest of the area. -
Harry Busslien questioned the adequacy of the EIR particularly due to the lack
of park area available to the residents in the area.
Mayor Schwartz declared the public hearing closed.
Councilman Petterson felt in reviewing the EIR he found it.adequate and would
accept the final report.
Councilman Jorgensen stated that while he had some questions as to the suita-
bility of the development, he felt the EIR was adequate.
Councilman Gurnee ::also stated that while he had several concerns about the
projects, he would-reluctantly decide that the EIR was adequate, felt that it
was weak in mitigating impacts on the visual effect on the west boundary of
the tract.'
Councilman Dunin stated that he felt the EIR was sufficient and adequate in
accordance with the city's rules and regulations.
Mayor Schwartz also agreed that the EIR was sufficient and he found it.adequate
to describe.various environmental impacts bringing them to the public's attention.
On motion of Councilman Dunin, seconded by Councilman Petterson, the following
resolution was introduced: Resolution No. 3325 (1977.;Series), a resolution of
the Council of the City of San Luis Obispo certifying the final environmental
impact report for tracts 603 and 608 as adequate:
Passed and adopted on the following roll call vote:

5. -. The City Council continued their public hearing to consider the adoption
of the County -wide Solid Waste Management Plan, continued from the May 17, 1977
council meeting for input by city staff.
Wayne Peterson, city engineer, submitted.a comprehensive analysis of the County-
wide Solid Waste Management Plan and its effect on:the City of.San Luis Obispo
and after review made the following recommendation. He stated that he found the
plan to be very comprehensive and complete and recommended that the Council adopt
it and make the findings as called for. He also recommended.that the City of San
Luis Obispo delegate responsibility for enforcement to the County Division of
Environmental Health. He stated that a joint.power agreement clearly delineating
responsibility and costs should be,prepared. He estimatted that-the cost to the
city as stated in the county plan would be $140 to $100 per month but he felt that
the cost would escalate with time.
On motion of Mayor.Schwartz, seconded by Councilman Gurnee, the following resolution
was introduced:: Resolution No. 3326 (1977 Series),. a resolution of the City
Council of the City of San Luis Obispo approving the County -wide Solid Waste
Management Plan.

6. Tract 465 - Val Vista Estates
Communication from Meyer, Merriam and Associates, Inc., requesting City Council
consideration-and determination as to the credit and /or required in -lieu fees
for park land and open space dedication in Tract 465. As the final subdivision
agreement was being prepared by the city and in cooperation with the applicant,
and the question of fees in lieu of park dedication had stopped the discussion.
Mac Deasy, associate with Meyer, Merriam and Associates, Inc., stated that the
problem had been that the developer understood that full credit would be given
for the dedication of 1.8 acres of land for public use within the subdivision
and that further credit would be gained by the developer through dedication of
approximately 40 acres of land presently covered by Laguna Lake. The subdivision
agreement as proposed gave absolutely no credit for the dedication offered by the
applicant. Furthermore, the conditions of the tentative map approval established
by the Planning Commission and City Council stated specifically that credit and /or
fees would be established by the City Council prior to final map approval.
NeitterPlanning Commission nor Parks and Recreation Commission took a firm position
on this issue. However, the Parks and Recreation Commission indicated that favor-
able credit should be given to the developer. The developer also felt that no
in -lieu fees should be paid first of all for the 77 lots proposed for single family
dwellings, a park dedication accorded to form established by the city would be 1.34
acres assuming 3.5 persons per dwelling. It was clear that the dry land proposed
for dedication was in excess of this amount without even considering dedication
of 40 acres of land. It was also the position of the applicant that full credit
would be given for lots 78 and 79 which were to be utilized for planned residential
development with a maximum of 82 units. Development of these parcels with 82
units would generate a park land dedication of 1.23 acres. In conclusion, he
stated this meant that by the city's own standards, a maximum dedication of 2.57
acres would be required if lot 78 and 79 were included. The subdivider proposed
dedication of a total of 41.8 acres. If only minimal credit could be gained
because 40 of those acres were :submerged under the lake, it seemed that the
40 acres of submerged land for recreational use would provide a far greater
benefit to the city than payment of any fees.
Park and Recreation Commission submitted the following recommendation to the
City Council dealing with tract 465:
1) The city should allow the developer to dredge the Prefumo Canyon Channel
and utilize materials as proposed in the plan. The developer should dedicate
the Prefumo Creek Channel to the city and the city accept maintenance. The
area is inclusive of lots 36 through 42 of the tentative map proposal.
2) The developer should dedicate the lake property and the city accept it for
maintenance. Also the developer should be given favorable credit for this
item in relationship to park land dedication including lots 73 and 74 which
are not included in the development at this time.
3) Lot 85 to remain in private ownership and the city to begin_easement- .access
forlmaintenance5and emergencies. The ownership to remain with the developer
and the developed main lot 85 remain primarily is a maintenance easement under
private ownership with the city having access.
4) That lot 84 be dedicated to the city as an open space area including lot 35
with an adjusted or modified property line between lots 34 and 35. That
lots 43 through 56 from the property, lake property line to the 126' ele-
vation remain in private ownership and city be given flood easement up to
the`126'elevation after construction. Also, the developer dedicate -the
marsh and lake area behind lots -28 through 34 with no access being allowed
in this area.
Jim Stockton, acting park and recreation director, stated that on behalf of the
Park and Recreation Commission's finding, they recommended full park in -lieu
fees be credited for this development for dedication of the acreage indicated
by the developer's representative.

Wayne Peterson, city.engineer, submitted on behalf of the city a recommendation
dealing with the subdivision agreement for development of Tract 465. He stated
that the condition.of the tentative map stated that credit for park or open
space and lake determination or in -lieu fees would be determined by the City
Council prior to final map approval. He stated that the subdivider dedicated
approximately 1.8 acres of land at the end of the two cul -de -sacs to provide
access to the lake. The subdivider was also dedicating 40 acres of the lake
to the City and that.according to the city ordinance the required park dedica-
tion would be approximately 1.3 acres using the $150 per lot figure for an
in -lieu fee which comes to $11,550 and the staff, in calculating these figures,
was not considering the two large lots along Laguna Lake in its calculations
inasmuch as.they would be resubdivided in the future. He again reviewed the
Park and Recreation Commission's recommendation that the developer be given
favorable credit for this dedication toward the park or open space calculations.
He. recommended that_the City Council make a determination as to what credit the
developer should_be' given for the land dedicated and /or what the park land dedi-
cation fee should be.
Andrew Merriam, representing the developer's planner, Meyer, Merriam and Asso-
ciates,'.Inc:, spoke'in support of the staff recommendation-that no fees be'
required for park -land and . open space in the Tract 465, as the developer was
actually giving the city.more land area in lake and park than was actually being
developed by the subdivider. He also asked the City Council not to forget that
lots 78 and 79 to be developed at a future date be included in the credit for
the grant of lake bottom.
Councilman Gurnee stated that he would accept.the..rec(immendation of the Park and
Recreation Commission on Tract 465 and accept the.actual land dedicated rather
than fees, but not consider lots 78 and 79 until that development came in.
Councilman Dunin stated he agreed with those comments but that he would include
lots 78 and 79 as the total land.being.dedicated to the city for lake and open
space was larger than that being considered in -lieu fees.
Councilman Petterson stated that he would accept "the recommendation, that no
fees be-charged against.the tract and that_the.land dedication be accepted, but
that lots 78 and 79 be considered when Prefumo Creek Channel is dedicated.
Councilman Jorgensen agreed with Councilman Gurnee's comments.
Mayor Schwartz also agreed with Councilman Gurnee, particularly on lots 78 and 79.
On motion of Councilman Jorgensen, seconded by Mayor'Schwartz, that the City
Council approve the staff recommendation on Tract 465 and that the dedicated
land be accepted in lieu of any fees except for lots.78 and 79 which will be
considered for credit when they are proposed for resubdivision. Motion carried,
all ayes.
7. Downtown Parking
The City Council received the following reports:
A) Report from the Business Improvement Area and city staff recommending proposed
changes in downtown parking;
B)
C)
D)
E)
F)
Report from city staff regarding proposed changes in downtown parking outside
the boundaries of the Business Improvement Area;
Memorandum from D.F. Romero giving background regarding proposed changes in
downtown parking;
Memorandum from D.F. Romero regarding a.difference of opinion from the B.I.A.
and city staff on time limits for parking in two blocks on Marsh Street;
Report from R.C. Muravez, finance director; and
Report from the Traffic Committee.
Before discussing the reports on downtown parking, several City Councilmen stated
that they felt this would.be a very difficult proposition to consider at this time
due to the very confusing and conflicting elements of the 7 reports being submitted
as part of the agenda. Several of.the Councilmen felt that the reports were.cur-
iously written,'difficult to follow, and didn't know how the general public could
have any input on such a confused issue.
City Council Minutes
June 7, 1977
Page 6
On motion of Councilman Gurnee, seconded by Councilman Jorgensen,.that the
matter be continued to the July 12, 1977 adjourned Council study session
with the entire proposal of downtown parking as submitted by the various
agencies to be written in clear, concise.language for public information
and that this.clearly written report be mailed out to all B.I.A. members
and property owners and tenants:in affected public areas, so that everyone
would be talking about the same basic conditions. Motion carried, all ayes.
7 -E The matter of the report from the finance director dealing with the
disposition.of the parking.fine revenues.was referred to the city attorney
for verification.'and clarification.
7 -F. The report of the Traffic Committee was ordered received and filed
as this had been handled by the Traffic Committee..
8 -A &B - Memoranda from the city attorney regarding.city.access to summary of
criminal history for applicants for business licenses was continued at the
request of the city attorney for clarification of wording.
10. Communication.from the director of public services regarding the proposal
from Engineering- Sciences, Inc., to supply certain engineering services to the
city to include design and technical-specifications for.the upgrading of the city's
existing water treatment plant to include the following:
1) Forebay intertie and meter structure;
2) 27" forebay transfer pipeline;
3) Modify rapid mix basin;
4) Modify waste water return line; and
5) Construct sludge bed underdrain and return line.
He continued that the proposed services would include:
1) Design drawings and technical specifications;
2) Construction cost estimate; and
3) Shop drawing review and visits to the site during inspection.
It was understood that the contract and general conditions of the specifica-
tions would be prepared.by the City. The total cost by Engineering- Sciences
for this proposal would be an estimated fee of.$22,000. Dave Romero stated
that-he had reviewed the amount of work to be done and felt that it could be
done by the city staff for approximately $8,000 if they were.authorized addi-
tional draftsmen for the project. He felt that between the various staff
members there was sufficient knowledge to direct the.crews.which would conduct
the inspection of the project, and therefore, it was the joint recommendation
of the.city.staff that the city reject the proposal from Engineering - Science
and conduct the engineering design with city personnel.
R.D. Miller, administrative officer, recommended that the City Council accept
this proposal by city staff.
On motion of Councilman Jorgensen, seconded by Councilman Gurnee, that the City
Council reject the proposal of Engineering- Science and that the city staff be
authorized to proceed at an estimated cost of $8,000. Motion carried.
11. Elderly /Handicapped Bus System
The City Council considered the Elderly /Handicapped Transportation service to
be provided by the County of San Luis Obispo in cooperation.with the various
cities.
Wayne Peterson, city engineer, reviewed the report of John Nicholson, transit
manager for the county and for the San Luis Obispo Council of Governments,
stating that the original report had been revised and that the new report
recommended the initiation transportation system aimed primarily at helping
senior citizens and handicapped persons. It proposed.to use 3 vehicles with
a fourth as back up to provide five a day.week service.between the outlying
communities and San Luis Obispo. Service would be basic, one trip into town
in the morning and one trip home in the afternoon. There was no provision
for anyone in San Luis Obispo to use the system and return the same day.
City Council Minutes
June 7, 1977
Page 7
Mr..Peterson then submitted a cost analysis of.the various alternatives as.
presented by the'County. He then reviewed the various alternatives and the
expense involved. He stated that -he and the Technical Advisory Committee
had met and distussed.the various proposals and they felt that the best
policy was that the City Council direct their member of the Area Planning
Council to represent what would be a policy of beginning small with perhaps
one bus running on a dial -a -ride basis and development of a subsidized ticket
for Greyhound for those persons able to use the system. As needs were shown,
the small system could then be expanded based on actual usage. He reminded
the City Council that the City's own bus system started with 2 routes and 3
buses, and only after considerable study of the actual operation was it mod- .
ified and expanded.- Staff felt that the system being proposed was too big
an investment too soon and that the-Council should be-,notified of this pro-
blem particularly since they would be funding approximately 25% of the cost
and receiving a very small part of the service. It should also be pointed
out that the joint powers agreement with the,county that the city had approved,
was for the operation of a Senior Citizens /Elderly Handicapped bus system and
not for a commuter system.throughout the county, and didn't believe it was for
subsidy of 14 senior citizen vans. It would be more appropriate for the City
to subsidize Grassroots II and their operation within the city, as-it more
closely related to our citizens than to extend a subsidy to citizens living
in the rural areas. The staff recommended that the City Council direct its
representative on the Area Planning Council to vote for a pilot program involv-
ing one vehicle, Greyhound, and no senior citizen vans.
The City Council then briefly reviewed the San Luis Obispo County's and City's
Elderly /Handicapped Basic Network Proposal'submitted by John Nicholson, transit
manager for the county. The City Council considered a report from the City of
San Luis Obispo subcommittee (Peterson, Jones, Romero) on the proposal to develop
an elderly /handicapped transit system. It was their feeling that the proposal
by the county was too expensive and not justified for current or projected needs.
It was the committee's conclusion.that the present senior citizen vans together
with the San Luis Obispo city bus.system and the Greyhound lines, could adequately
service all segments of the community with the exception.of Los Osos, Baywood,
Morro Bay, Cayucus, Cambria-area and the needs of the handicapped. The committee
wanted to remind the city that the new system consisted of only one vehicle which
would serve the coastal communities on a two -day a week basis and which would be
available for handicapped needs at all other times. It was their suggestion that
this vehicle be based in San Luis Obispo and privately operated under county con-
-tract and general supervision. This recommendation was to avoid building of addi-
tional county staff and overhead expense. They felt the elderly /handicapped needs
in the north county and south county area could be-met by senior vans in those
communities and by subsidizing Greyhound bus riderships for trips to.San Luis
Obispo. The subsidy program as well as payment and record.keeping for the pri-
vately operated bus could be handled on a part -time basis by a low.level county
employee keeping additional overhead to a minimum.. It was the subcommittee's
opinion that the bare minimum program suggested would meet the elderly /handi-
capped needs with the least capital and operating expense and least risk for the
taxpayers of the community. If, after a reasonable period of operation, exper-
ience dictated expansion or modification of the-system, adjustments could easily
be made in direct response to the need, thus expending funds in the.most prudent
manner.
Councilman Jorgensen reported that he had been contacted by the Chairman of the
Area Council of Governments Committee, Al Sperling, who questioned some of the
conclusions and facts arrived at by the city staff. He stated that it was the
feeling of the chairman of the group that the city staff.did not present the full
costs and revenues of the proposed county system.. He.stated he would support
the county plan and also ask for the City Council's support.
Mayor Schwartz declared the public hearing open.. No one appeared before the City
Council on this proposal. Mayor Schwartz declared the public hearing closed.
On motion of Councilman Dunin, seconded by Councilman Petterson, that the City
Council accept the recommendation of the city staff and members of the Technical
Advisory Subcommittee by initiating a low level operation to start. -The city's
representative'to the Area Planning Council was to support the city's position.
Motion carried, Councilman Jorgensen voting no. .

12. Wayne Peterson, city engineer, recommended that the City Council
approve the request of John King to allow the importing of 544 cubic yards
of material to 3279 Broad Street for the purpose of constructing landscape
berms along Broad Street. He recommended that-the permit be issued subject
to the following conditions:
1) No grading be conducted on the site outside of 60' from the Broad Street
frontage; ,
2) The stormdrain must be extended beyond the toe of the new fill. The
stormdrain must be constructed to handle a 100 year storm. Design and
plans must be prepared by a registered civil engineer;
3) Developer shall submit plans.to the approval of the city engineer and
construct sewer and water main extensions from Broad Street under and
beyond the proposed berm;
4) Berm shall be landscaped to the satisfaction of the Community Development
Department; and
5) Developer shall submit landscape plans to the ARC for their approval prior
to any work being done on.the site and shall submit a cash -bond in an
amount satisfactory to the ARC to guarantee completion of the project.
On motion of Councilman Petterson, seconded by Councilman Jorgensen, the City
Council approve the permit for 554 cubic yards of material subject to the five
conditions listed. Motion carried.
13. Tentative Tract Map No. 603

Cuesta Associates, subdivider.
Dan Smith, senior planner,.reviewed with the City Council the recommendation
of the Planning.Commission to approve tentative tract map no. 603. He reviewed
the projects to be done, the evaluation of the project and all items involved
in this development and recommended that the City Council approve the tentative
tract map subject to four findings.and twenty -one subdivision conditions as
follows:
1) The tract map and design are consistent with the General.Plan;

Councilman Petterson stated that he was in general favor of tentative tract map
no. 603. He was not too happy with the proposed development . of the PDR -1 density
of Lots 44 and 46. He also felt that Lot 45, park dedication, should be larger
and be put to more appropriate use and available to more'people.
Councilman Jorgensen stated that he was not supportive of-the tentative map for
tract 603. He did not feel comfortable with the configuration of the tract. He
also felt that Lot 45,.park proposal, looked to him like an after thought.by the
developer of some land that could not be developed economically. He also felt
that the homeowner's association would not properly maintain the park land and
would ultimately be turned.over to the taxpayers to maintain. He also felt that
Lots 7, 44 and 46 should not be shown as PDR -1 as he felt it trapped the Council
' into future approval-of this type of zoning.
Leonard Blaser, developer, stated he agreed that he would rather dedicate Lot 45,
park site, to the City to operate and maintain rather than keep it and maintain
by the homeowner's association.
Councilman Gurnee stated he supported generally the proposed tentative tract map.
He also felt that the park should be larger in order to serve both these resi-
dents and citizens of tract 603 and 608, but if it stayed small as proposed tben
it should be owned and operated by the property owners and not expect the city to
spend a lot of time on such a small tract.

9. At this time the City Council considered a request from Priest, Richmond,
Wolf and Rossi, planning consultants, asking.Council consideration for conceptual
approval of a minor annexation called the Ferrini Annexation. The City Council
first discussed whether they should even hear the Ferrini proposal or whether it
should be continued to a study session so that the Council could determine minor
annexation policy as outlined in the 1975 General Plan. It was the common con-
sent of the Council that they would at least hear the request of the developer.
The City Council then reviewed the Ferrini Annexation conceptual plan as prepared
by the developers which described the proposed project of the site, the type of
development, the,public utilities, summary and conclusions, and recommendations
and the various factors involved in planning the development. It was stated that
the purpose of the preliminary report on behalf of Ferrini was to allow the appli-
cant and the City to formally discuss both the General Plan annexation policy and
a conceptual plan for development of a specific area presently outside the City.
As part of discussion with the City, the applicant was attempting to answer ques-
tions which involved two different subjects: 1) annexation of the City of San
Luis Obispo; and 2) site development planning. The question related to annexation
primarily involved interpretation of the recently adopted General Plan, thee
General Plan annexation policy resource issue and other related issues including
the timing and procedures. The questions relating to site development planning
involved concepts such as limits of development, type of development, goals,
objectives of the project, and standards and techniques of development.'
Terry Sanville, associate planner, reviewed the conceptual proposal as viewed
by the City staff and made the following recommendation:
L
C
1) The proposed annexation request appeared to qualify as a minor annexation
as defined by the City's General Plan. Furthermore, the developer's proposal
for securing 130 acres of open space and dedication of park land to the City
met the criteria defined within the plan. However, the existing policy did not
describe an acceptable maximum size of minor annexations or define their
individual or cumulative relationships to the availability of water resources
and other urban services. Therefore, the staff recommended that:
a) The City Council give conceptual approval to the proposed 60 -acre annexation.
b) If the annexation in this area is not supported by the Council, the staff
recommended that a Council workshop session be scheduled to review and
revise the City_'s.dnnexation policy to more explicitly define community
objectives.
c) If the Council determined that annexation was acceptable, the Council
would review the schematic subdivision plan prepared by the applicant
and determine whether this type of development was appropriate with the
understanding that further design refinements would be made prior to
submittal of annexation applications.
City Council Minutes
June 7, 1977
Page 16
Councilman Gurnee questioned the minor annexation policy adopted in the
General Plan in February, 1977. He felt that the proposed Ferrini development
was not a minor annexation development, but a major development, not only in
area but in the number of persons to be accommodated by the development. He
felt that the Council should make some policy statement that if this develop-
ment came, then somewhere else in the City, density should be reduced in order
to keep the water supply and density within the City in balance. He also felt
that due to water shortages, he suggested that all new land be placed in a
special district to pay for the additional cost of supplying water.
Councilman Dunin stated that he would support the concept of the Ferrini Annexa-
tion and development.but with no commitment on the part of the City until the
development proceeds. He felt that there was sufficient water to serve the
proposed development and he felt that the contribution of open space from the
development would add much to the concept.
Councilman Petterson stated that he was in support of the adopted annexation
policy of the City and he would accept the concept as presented by Ferrini.
Councilman Jorgensen stated that his question was what was a minor annexation.
He felt that over 60 acres of land with 87 houses and close to 400 people did
not qualify as a minor annexation. He felt that the proposal was a major
annexation even with a large area to be dedicated to open space. He felt the
only way for the applicant to accomplish this annexation for the full 200 acres
to be annexed to the City with irrevocable dedication of 130 acres + /- to open
space for public use.
Mayor Schwartz reviewed prior Council actions when adopting the current General
Plan including the definitions of minor annexation policy. He felt that this
particular parcel of land was considered as qualifying for minor annexation
during the General Plan adoption hearings. He then reviewed other areas that
were considered by the City Council at that time that met the criteria of minor
annexations when the_General Plan was adopted.
On motion of Councilman Gurnee, seconded by Councilman Jorgensen, that the City
Council amend the minor annexation policy of the General Plan with the following
conditions:
1) No annexation would be effective until a new supply of water was available
to the City; or`
2) Additional water required by the annexation be mitigated by reducing density
in other areas of the City.
Motion lost on the following roll call vote:
AYES: Councilmen Gurnee and Jorgensen
NOES: Councilmen Dunin, Petterson and Mayor Schwartz
ABSENT: None
On motion of Mayor Schwartz, seconded by Councilman Petterson, that the City
Council support the existing adopted minor annexation policy of the 1977 General
Plan. Motion carried, Councilmen Gurnee and Jorgensen voting no.

Council grant conceptual approval of this minor annexation as being consistent
with the approved 1977 General Plan and that any open space proposed to be annexed

and Gurnee voting no.
On motion of Councilman Dunin, seconded by Councilman Jorgensen, the meeting
adjourned at 11:40 p.m. to 12:10 p.m., Wednesday, June 8, 1977. Motion carried.
