Mr. L. Green appeared before the City Council and stated he was not interested in
acquiring 14 feet of property next to his land at the expense of putting curb,
gutter and sidewalks on someone else's property on the west side of Henderson Street.
Mrs. Green appeared before the City Council stating that she was opposed to the
abandonment of 14 feet on the east side of Henderson Street and the requirement of
' placing curb, gutter and sidewalks on the west side, but she stated if the City
abandoned 7 feet on each side of the street she would gladly accept 7 feet.
Several of the property owners on the west side of Henderson Street were concerned
with what effect the sidewalks would have upon their property and whether the side-
walks would be inside the existing property line or on the street side.
Several of the property owners felt that in this abandonment they were gaining very
little except a sidewalk where Dr. Kennelly was gaining quite a bit of land to add
to his already existing property.
Mr. Romero, City Engineer, presented a sketch explaining to the property owners
exactly where the property line would be and where the back of sidewalk would be
and showed where there would be no encroachment into their existing front yard.
Mr. Dana again appeared before the City Council stating that he felt that the group
of property owners on the west side of Henderson Street would accept Dr. Kennelly's
proposal if be puts in the curb, gutter and sidewalks and also urged that Dr.
Kennelly put in the curb, gutter and sidewalks across from-the Green property so as
to improve the entire west side of Henderson Street at no cost to the Greens as
they would put in their own curb and gutter and sidewalks.
Councilman Miller stated that possibly the City Council could continue this matter
In order to give the property owners an opportunity to discuss this among themselves
to see exactly which way they wished to progress.
' Mayor Whelchel stated that it was his impression from listening to the property
owners that they were not particularly interested in the Kennelly proposal and felt
that some additional studies should be made. `He further stated that the property
owners should realize that once sidewalks•are installed on over half the block, then
the City can force the balance of the block to be improved at the property owner's
expense and he feels that the two property owners on both sides of Henderson Street
at the corner of Garfield should be aware of this possibility.
Mayor Whelchel also agreed that this matter should be held over for two weeks to
see if the property owners can get together on an overall proposal.
Mayor Whelchel declared the public hearing closed.
On motion of Councilman Syrinx, seconded by Councilman Gallagher, that this public-
hearing be continued for two weeks. Motion carried.
9. Public-hearing on the recommendation of the Planning Commission recommending
approval of a planned development for Donald Gallock on the northwest side of the
freeway between Chorro and Broad Streets subject to the following conditions:
1. The office building on the north side of the creek and the two office
buildings adjoining the freeway to be reviewed by the Planning Commission after the
remaining development is completed.
' 2. Precise plans to be submitted within two years.
3. Office uses to be limited by use permit.
Additional uses may be approved by the Commission upon review.
Peter Chapman, Planning Director, reported that Mr. W lock applied for approval of
a planned development of offices, artist studios, and an art gallery based on the
existing adobe which is to be retained.
Mr. Chapman stated that at the hearings held by the Planning Commission a number of
residents appeared and were'concerned at the increased traffic congestion which
might result on Chorro Street and recommended that it be severely restricted.

City Attorney, William Houser, was requested to contact the State Members of the
Whale Rock Commission to see if they have any objection to promising said water to
the Junior College.
12. R. D. Miller, Administrative Officer, presented for the Council's consideration
a sample of a nine inch decal for identifying the City's motor vehicles and a sample
of a twelve inch diameter identifying seal for identification purposes.
Councilman Gallagher stated he felt that the City should get the larger size seal-
as he felt that the motbr vehicles should be adequately identified for advertising
purposes and control purposes. He stated he felt proud of the City seal and thought
it should be displayed prominently.
Councilman Spring stated that he agreed with'Councilman Gallagher's statements and
that the identification symbols should be large enought to be seen.
Councilman Miller stated he felt that the larger twelve inch diameter symbol should
be used so it would show up more and could be read by anyone interested.
on motion of Councilman Miller, seconded by Councilman Spring, that the City order
the twelve inch symbols for use on City vehicles. Motion carried. Councilman
Blake voting no.
13. Request from Ray C. Skinner that he be allowed to finance Laguna Lake Village
improvements through the 1911 or 1913 Act bond financing proposals.
Mr. Skinner asked that the in -tract improvements in Tracts 292, 322, 350, 351 and
352 be included under the bond procedures and further that the assessment bonds be
broken down into smaller increments on an individual lot basis in order to make them
' marketable and to make the mechanics of development more simplified.
Mr. Skinner stated that he requested that all improvements normally eligible for
assessment act financing be approved and that the subdivider not be required to
segregate costs for major items as opposed to minor in -tract improvements. He
further requested that the assessments be against individual lots or parcels in an
equalized manner in these proceedings rather than applying bonds only to large
districts.
He stated that due to the difficult mortgage market at the present time that this
was one of the avenues open to him for continued development of his master planned
area.
Upon request of the City Council, the City Clerk read the Council Committee report
of September 17, 1964 regarding the prior request by the Skinner Company to use
assessment bond financing.
The Committee report briefly stated that under certain conditions assessment district
proceedings would not be detrimental to the City and the Committee recommended that
local type in -tract improvements should not be financed by this method but that the
use of assessment financing should be confined to larger sewer and water trunk
lines, drainage structures, etc., where the raw land to not being developed immedi-
ately with homes or individual residential lots and where because of the extensive
distances involved the cost can not properly be charged against the subdividers
' subsequent development of the raw land.
Further the Committee felt that the bonds for such development should be placed an
parcels no smaller thasi ten acres.
The City Clerk then read the provisions of Resolution No. 1341 dated October 5, 1964
in which the Council informally approved in principle the use of bond financing
procedures for off -tract improvements on the condition that normal procedures would
be followed in the processing and approval of the precise development plans and
further that a covenant acceptable.to the City would be recorded providing that no
parcels will be subdivided without paying off any bonds covering said parcels.
For. Skinner appeared before the City Council urging that the City Council allow him
to proceed with special assessment financing procedures without any donditions as
to size of lot or parcel so that he may continue to develop his property financed
by these public acts. He also stated that this procedure would allow him to recoup

the money already expended for major improvements to the property,
in this way he could pay outstanding debts owed by his corporation.
He stated that
He continued that special assessment financing is, a normal"method of development
in many Cities-and Counties in California for all subdivision development although .
not in this particular area.
Mr. Houser, City Attorney, explained the workings of special assessment financing
when used by developers. ,. ..
Mr'Bk3ibieir " "expiaYhefl upon question-the conditions existing in! Tract .Nq.: 242:where.;.
the.soil conditions have_ caused extensive damage to 38 homes.. -He state the
purchasers of these homes are'sueing him for the,,damage and that he in turn is ,.
sueing the Federal Housing Administration as he felt that the problem was.caused.by
the requirements of the FHA and hoped that when these suits were settled it would
be to the.satisfaction of all concerned.
Mayor Whelchel stated that he felt he 'would go along with the conditions of the
existing resolution but did not -feel that•he- could.approve any expansion for this
type of development.
Councilman Blake stated that he would not consider any change,in•the City's existing
policy unless the City could discuss the matter with 'its financial consultant.'
Councilman Miller stated he felt that the conditions of the original committee
report and resolution did not envision this expansion of the use.of assessment
financing.
On motion of Councilman Miller, seconded by Councilman Gallagher,-.that the City deny
the request by Ray C. Skinner foi.use of assessment financing for subdivision
development. Motion carried.
14. Communication from the Water Superintendent recommending that the City reim-
burse-Development Associates for excess - capacity for a water line.in Los Osos Road.
This refund is authorized by Item 8 of the subdivision agreement between the City
and the Subdivider in Tract No. 292.
Mr. Thompson also recommended that the City.enter into.an agreement with the
suVdivider f6r the'refund agreeing that this payment does not constitute acceptance
by the City of said water line until the subdivision has been completed.
Mr. Romero, .City Engineer,. stated he had discussed this matter, with Mr. Thompson
and that he could see no objection to refunding this excess capacity to the
developer.

authorized and the Mayor was authorized to sign the agreement of acceptance on'
behalf of the City.

been put up for auction at a prior date at the request of Mr. Frisby but at that
time Mr. Frisby did not agree with the minimum bid placed thereon by the City.

20. Mr. Romero, City Engineer, asked the City Council for some guidance in preparing
the proposed lease agreement with the Standard Oil Company for development of a
service station on the sewer farm property at Prado Road and the Freeway. He stated
that neighter he nor W. Houser were clear as to the desires of the Council regarding
the degree of the roadside rest improvement to be installed by Standard Oil.
Mr. Houser, City Attorney, explained the roadside rest proposal as understood by the
Standard Oil Company representatives, that Standard Oil Company was willing to put
in a patio type picnic table and area if the City so desired but not a large road-
side rest development.
The City Council discussed the development of a roadside rest at this service
station site and stated that it was their intention that this be a more extensive
development than one picnic table next to the service station buildings. Further I
they also felt that this development would be put in by the City as a complete road-
side rest and not as a lunch table placed there by the Standard Oil Company.
After discussion it was the common feeling of the Council that after the Standard
Oil Station is built, the Council will study the area again and have a development
` of "a-Ybadsi'de 'rest by the City. ... - --
21. Councilman Miller brought to the Councils attention the lack of sidewalks on
Chorro Street from Murray Street to Foothill Boulevard. Councilman Miller stated
that at one time this subdivision had the sidewalks in a parkway in the center of
what is now Chorro Street and that they were removed by the City of San Luis Obispo
in order to increase the vehicle carrying capacity on this major street. .
Councilman Miller stated he felt that the City Council has a responsibility to
place a sidewalk in this area as pedestrians are forced to walk in the street or
walk-on private property in order to avoid being hit by automobiles and he felt
that this was an obligation of the City. Further he stated that the City Council
should look into the sidewalk situation on Santa Rosa Street from the Stenner Creek
Bridge to Foothill Boulevard as there are no.sidewalks on Santa Rosa Street and the
pedestrians are forced to walk in the street which is extremely hazardous due to
the high speed and vehicular traffic on the street.
Mr. Romero, City Engineer, verified that sidewalks had been removed on what is
known as Chorro Street and further that there is no public right of way behind the ,
curb line for installation of sidewalks. If the City placed sidewalks on this
street they would have to acquire private property in order to do so and further
whichever side is picked for the sidewalks will have front yard areas reduced.
On motion of Councilman Miller, seconded by Councilman Spring, the City Engineer
was requested to investigate and report to the City Council on the best method of
installing sidewalks on both sides of Santa Rosa Street from Murray Street to
Foothill Boulevard. Motion carried.
22-&:23. At this time 'tlie City Council considered the "req'uest of the Planning
Commission for amending the Underground Utility Ordinance in the City and also the
establishment of Underground Utility Districts 2 -5.
Mr. Houser, City Attorney, stated that he had not -as yet received the State law
being considered by the legislature at this time on Underground Utility and
City Council Minutes
May 29 1966
Page 10
suggested that the City Council not take any action until they have had an opportun-
ity to discuss the new State law on this matter.
Mr. Chapman, Director of Planning and Building, agreed with th6 suggestion of the
City Attorney to hold this matter over to coordinate with State law.
' Mr. Chapman asked that the City Council appoint a Council Committee to meet with
representatives of the Pacific Gas and Electric Company who wished to amend the
City's proposal to include streamline overhead service in the City.
On motion of Councilman Gallagher, seconded by Councilman Miller, the Mayor was
requested to appoint a Council Committee to meet with representatives of the
Planning Commission and the Pacific Gas and Electric Company regarding changes to
the proposed Underground Utility Ordinance.
Mayor Whelchel appointed Councilman Gallagher and Councilman Miller to represent
the City Council on this Committee.
24. Communication from the Planning Commission recommending that the City Council
