The following items continued from the regular meeting of July 5, 1977:
12. Continued Council consideration of Tentative Tract Map No. 645, John
Ring, developer, for a 9 lot residential subdivision between 3279 and 3355
Broad Street., R -2 zoning. (Please refer to City Council meeting minutes of
July 5, 1977, item 12.)
Dau.Smith, Associate Planner, again.briefly reviewed the Tentative Tract Map
No. 645 as approved by the City Planning.Commission.
Vic Montgomery, designer for the developer, stated.that the street layout in
Tract No. 645 was based on the request of the Planning Department. The
developer would have to come off Broad Street which would have made a cheaper
and less expensive street for the-developer-The reason they placed the
planter in the cul -de -sac was to minimize the effect of the sea of paving as
this planter would make a better environment for the residents. He then re-
viewed for the City Council an alternate ,for .,parking on the street by making
an off set bay in the sidewalk portion to allow parking in front on one side
of the street and still allow two way traffic in and out of the tract.
John Ring, developer /property owner, reviewed the conditions and constraints
established by the City.Planning and Building staff for development of this
parcel of land.
Councilman Gurnee stated he felt the developer was making the best use of a.
difficult parcel of land due to the topography, size, creek, etc. He felt
that the street with the parking bay would be much more acceptable to him.
He also agreed with planning the traffic island and he would support the
tentative map with street construction including the parking bay.
Councilman Dunin stated he was opposed to the.tract..approval.due to the extra
costs to the City to maintain the traffic island, the creek, etc.
Councilman Jorgensen stated he felt.this was a good development for a.difficult
parcel of land, but agreed with the basic development concept in not allowing
access to Broad Street. He did wonder about the traffic restraints using the
parking bays. He would support the Tentative Tract Map with the parking bays
as presented by the developer.
Councilman Petterson stated that it was unfortunate that City standards allowed
this type of development in the City. He agreed it was a difficult parcel to
develop; was opposed to the traffic island which he felt would be a traffic
hazard. He also felt that parking in the street would be a hazard to traffic
in and out of the tract.

Mayor Schwartz stated that he supported the basic concept of no access from
Broad Street in spite of the.difficulties in.developing this.parcel. He felt
that the developer had done a good job with a difficult lot. He did not
support the landscape of the traffic island due to difficulties for emergency
vehicles. He felt that the street with parking bays could be very satisfactory
and well done.
On motion of Councilman Gurnee, seconded by Councilman Jorgensen, the follow-
ing resolution was introduced: a resolution of the Council of the City of I
San Luis Obispo granting tentative approval to Tract.No..645, located between
3279 and 3355 Broad Street.

as lot 15 would be owned and.maintained by a homeowners-association. He stated

lot 14, which would be a lot used for a play lot.
