tions with the property •_ownersr.nathis. area c,to; allow the Citgzto; place parking-,
on the rear of these properties for use by the public and for persons visiting
these properties.
Mayor Whelchel7stated the was opposed to granting permission for access to the
parking lot particularly in view of the fact that the City Council had reviewed
this matter and felt that this was a bargaining.point t,_to negotiate with the
property owners and by gaviag. a'cce'ss this bargaining position would be lost.
Councilman Gallaher stated that he was a member of the Citizens!- Committee who
had met with the property owners to negotiate acquisition and:;access to this
property and that based on the property owner's attitude, he did not feel that
the City should go along with this request.
Won Graham appeared before the City Council urging the Council to go along
with the request of Mra:. Polk as he felt that this development of the Art Gallery
would be an asset to the City.
The discussion was continued to November 7,1966 in order for Mrs. Polk to meet
with the property owners involved and see if this matter can be worked out as
originally proposed by the City.
2. Mr. Dennis Wheeler appeared before the City Council on behalf of Westside
Auto Parts to discuss the agreement between the City and :°lestside Auto Parts for
sewer and water service to their property on Edna Road.
Mr. Wheeler stated that the property owners were more than willing to cooperate
with the C City but that the requirement of the City that the City carry a first
mortgage on the property until the improvements have been paid for was impossible
as a'National Banking Organization already has first mortgage and that they are
prohibited by law from granting a second mortgage.

Mr. Wheeler continued that the property owners had no objection to a second mortgage
on the property to protect the City of San Luis Obispo.
City Attorney, Steve Crossman, stated-the reason for the requirement of the first
mortgage was that it was his understanding that this was a requirement of the City
Council. He stated he was sure a second mortgage would be adequate protection for
' the City.
On motion of Councilman Gallagher, seconded by Councilman Spring, that the City
would accept a second mortgage on the entire parcel of Westside Auto Parts land on
Edna Road: Motion carried.
Y. Mr. Dennis Wheeler brought to the Council's attention the matter of a sewer
easement going through property recently acquired by the San Luis Garbage Company
and for which he had contracted to construct a building, but due to the location of
the sewer line under the proposed building, a building permit would not be issued by
the Building Department.
He stated that due to the particular wording of the City's easement, he felt that
the building could be constructed over the line.
Mr. Peter Andre appeared before the City Council on behalf of his client, the San
Luis Garbage Company, and requested that.the building permit be issued for con-
struction of the addition to the buildings on Victoria Street as he felt the City
was adequately protected for future sewer improvements.
Mr.'Romero, City Engineer, explained that the City, in acquiring the easement, had
intended that no structure would ever be built over the sewer line. Should such a
structure be built and should the City have to repair or replace the line, the work
would be substantially more costly. He also explained that the City might set an
undesirable precedent should it permit such construction.
' Mr. Cattaneo owner of the San Luis an Garbage , stated he would have no
Company,
objection to the City making repairs inside his proposed building as it was to be a
metal building with a high roof and used to store garbage trucks.
Mr. Peter Andre read for the Council's information the wording for the existing
deed of easement for the sewer line through this property.
Mr. Romero, City Engineer, explained that in a similar situation, that of Mr.
Stillwell on Penmen Way, the City had permitted construction over the sewer line
subject to recordation of a covenant that the property owner would bear-all extra-
ordinary costs incurred by the City in maintaining, repairing, or replacing the
sewer line.
The City Council then discussed with the property owners and the contractor the
proper approach that would allow the property owner to build the building whdre'he
desired and still protect the City's sewer easement.
On motion of Councilman Gallagher, seconded by Councilman Blake, that the City grant
the building permit to the San Luis Garbage Company to build over the sewer easement
subject to the condition that the property owner agree`to remove and replace any
part of the structure at the owner's expense, construction to be according to plans•,
sketched this date with a covenant to run with the land protecting the City.
' Councilman Miller stated that he objected to.granting any concession and allowing
construction over sewer easements.
Motion carried. Councilman Miller voting no.
7. 8:00 P.M. the City Council continued the hearing on the complaints from north
of the student housing development (Tropicana Village and Islander) on Broad Street.
Mr. Steve Crossman, Acting City Attorney, presented the City Council with a'legai
opinion as requested by the City Council as to whether or not the developers of the
student housing are in violation of the City's zoning ordinance in that they have
allowed an occupancy.of units not constructed in accordance with the approved and
adopted precise plan for their development.
City Council Minutes
October 24, 1966
Page 3
Mr. Crossman continued that after his study of the Planning Commission and City
Council files on this planned development it was his opinion that the present use
of the Tropicana Apartments is in violation of the sections of the zoning ordinance
pertaining to planned development districts.
Mr. Crossman stated that from the evidence presented at hearings held on this
matter, it has become obvious that the variation from the approved precise plag ,
relative to occupancy has created a distinct parking problem in the neighborhood.
He continued that as the precise plan, Phase II submitted by the developer,
contains a certain designated occupancy, and the developers can not be considered
to have waived any right to urge that the imposition of such an occupancy con-
dition is unreasonable. In other words, they would be stopped from advancing
such an argument.
Further, Section 1200 of the Municipal Code provides that violation of any section
of the ordinance is a misdemeanor and can be prosecuted as such and further that
Section 9200.21B of the Municipal Code at)plying particularly to the inforcement
of the zoning ordinance provides that any use established or building constructed
or altered contrary to the provisions of this Chapter is hereby declared to be
unlawful and a public nuisance.
Any such illegal use of structures shall be reported to the City Council who
may order the City Attorney to commence immediate action for the abatement thereof.
Mr. Crossman continued that while the existing condition can be abated and the
student operation of this housing development be immediately brought into concur-
rence with the planned development, he stated he felt that with the past cooperation
shown by the developers to the City Council and Planning Commission that they be
granted a reasonable time within which to bring the occupancy of the units into
conformity with that of the approved planned development for Tropicana Village I
or in the alternative that they be required to submit an amended precise plan
providing for adequate parking under existing occupancy.
Mr. H. Murphy, Attorney for the Dover Development Company, appeared before the
City Council and stated while he did not agree with the opinion presented by the
City Attorney he felt that the developers, the Baker Brothers, were trying to
comply with the parking ratio as approved by the planned development but for
economic reasons, that is the lack of female students to live in the development,
they were forced to fill the quarters with male students.
Mr. Murphy continued that he was sure the developers would try to get the male
and female student ratios back in balance as rapidly as possible.
Mayor Whelchel declared the public hearing open.
C. R. Roberts 76 North Broad Street, stated that although the Bakers have pro-
vided 150 more parking spaces across the creek at the extension of Ramona Street,
the streets are still full of cars and speeding is increasing on Broad Street.
Mr. Moskiman, 85 North Broad Street, stated that the noise is getting worse all
t e time, he can not sleep, his wife is annoyed by profane language in the parking
lot and street and he urged the City Council to bring some relief to the tax-
payers in the area.
Mrs. Ballard, 61 North Broad Street, complained about the noise from the parking '
lot and Broad Street and further that the cars were still parking on Broad Street
and not using the new parking lot.
Mr. Purio, 806 Murray Avenue, stated the area was still noisy, there was parking
on the streets, excessive speeding, urinating in the streets, and the throwing
of beer cans.
Mr. S. Forden, 89 North .Broad Street, asked why doesn't the City enforce over-
night parking restrictions on City Streets.which would require the students to
park in parking lots when provided.
Mayor Whelchel explained to Mr. Forden that there are no overnight prohibitions
on parking except in the downtown areas which is posted for street cleaning.

M. A. Cheda, 28 forth Broad Street, stated that the students are not parking in the
new lot at the end of Ramona Street but are still parking on Ramona and Broad Streets,
Robert Newby, 831 Murray Avenue; stated that he was concerned with small children
going to Teach School and who walk down Murray Avenue to Broad Street and then along
Broad Street to Fbothill Boulevard and then on to Teach School. He stated there.are
' very few sidewalks in this area and that the speed and current number of cars
generated by the housing development are a definite hazard to small children going
to and from school.
He stated it was his opinion that the owners of Tropicana were in violation of their
planned development permit as the permit was.issued on the basis of male and female
ratio adequate to parking availability. .......
Mr. Cardwell, 64 North Broad Street, objected to the increased traffic on Broad
Street which is primarily traveling at high speed which is a danger to residents
getting into and out of their garages.
S. Morse stated he felt that the City should require the developer to comply with
the occupancy conditions of the original permit.
H. Tartaglia, 70 North Broad Street, asked the City Council if the west side of
Broad Street could be painted red in order to eliminate all day parking on the
street which would allow'-access-to the private property on the -east side.
Robert Newby,suggested that the City Council consider eliminating all accesses'to
the Tropicana Development from Broad Street including pedestrian and vehicular.
traffic and require all accesses from Ramona.
Mayor Whelchel asked the property owners who were objecting if they felt a four
hour parking restriction on Broad Street would help their problems and eliminate all
day and all night parking in front of residences on Broad Street.
Mr. Gilfeather, 130 North Broad Street, stated he did not feel that this parking
problem was any of the City Councils business but felt that the Baker Brothers
should be allowed enough time-to solve the problems on their own development.
John Evans, Plantning Commission Member, stated he felt that the suggestion of closing
all accesses to Broad Street from the development and only have accesses from Ramona
Street was a good idea as this would force the students to use Ramona Street to go
to and from their quarters.
Mr. Moskiman reminded the City Council that at a prior meeting a suggestion had been
made for the installation of a plant mix berm at the Tropicana which would require
all cars to stop before.exiting onto Broad Street.
Mr. H. Murphy stated-his-clientss the Baker Brothers, agree with the.- installation of
a red zone on the west side of Broad Street and-further that the Bakers were
installing berms at the east openings from the parking lot as soon as the contractor
could get to it and also that an additional bridge, had been ordered for.access to
the newly constructed parking lot and will be installed immediately upon delivery.
Mayor Whelchel explained to Mr. Murphy the - conditions under which the planned
development permit was granted to the Bakers which was on the proposal of the
Bakers and not the City. He continued that if the Council had been aware of what
Mr. Baker finally came up with, the permit would never have been issued for student
housing in this residential area.
Mr. Murphy stated -the Council should keep in mind that Mr. Baker has only changed
the ratio of male and female students for economic reasons as he`could not fill
the quarters with girls so he filled up the rooms with male students.
Mrs. Bilodeau stated that she had operated student housing for many years and that
she has found the Poly students who have been in her housing to be very.cooperative
and observing of the rules laid down by the house manager. If there were any
violations to this rule, the student was asked to leave and his money refunded
because it was unfair to blame all the residents for the actions of one student.
Mr. Baker appeared before the City Council and explained to the Council the way

Page 5
he has the student housing organized and the organization within the building for
controlling the student within the complex.
Mayor Whelchel declared the public hearing closed.
Councilman Spring suggested that the Bakers through proper planning could alleviate
heir own problem and by meeting with the students, require them to use available
parking. He further suggested that the parking close to the girls dormatory be
assigned to the girls and the further out spaces be assigned to the male students. '
Councilman Blake stated that he would go along with the red zone on'the west side
of Broad Street as suggested and also that the four hour parking restriction.on
the east side of it was all right with the property owners in the area.
Councilman Galla her stated that he was in favor of a two hour parking limit on
road Street and no parking on the street after midnight and further he objected
to the so called new parking lot which was constructed by the Baker Brothers which
is practically unuseable and the bridge which is already in disrepair and which'is
not being used due to its poor access. He further felt that the Bakers should
bring the occupancy ration as orginally approved in the planned development permit,
Councilman Miller agreed with Councilman Gallagher and also agreed with the proposal
for two hour restricted parking on Broad Street and the red zone on the east side of
Broad Street adjacent to Tropicana.

Mr. Davin, President of La Fiesta, appeared before 'the City Council on behalf of the
Fiesta's request for financial assistance from the °City to continue the Fiesta in
1967.
He stated that if the City did not support the Fiesta in 1967, financially and
otherwise, he was sure there would be no Fiesta celebration next year.
Mr. R. Dunin, Chairman of the Visitors and Convention Committee of the Chamber of
Commerce, stated that he was sure if the Fiesta program.was better advertised
outside the County.of 'San Luis Obispo that the motels, restaurants and service
stations would receive more revenue from the Fiesta and urged that the City Council
cooperate with the Fiesta 1967.
Mr. E. Davin again stated that he was sure that if the Council did not support the -
1967 Fiesta as was done in 1966 that, the Citizens' Committee would do a good job
for the Committee and also would make a greater and grander Fiesta.

r
On motion of Councilman Blake, seconded by Councilman Gallagher, the communication
from Robert Leitcher was referred-to th.e Parka and Recreation Commission for study
and report of recommendation to the City Council. .
5. Communication from William C. Sodeman, rejecting the offer of the City of San
Luis Obispo for acquisition of street'widening on.Johnson Avenue stating that the
offer was not satisfactory.
Mr. Romero, City Engineer, explained that the priority schedule presented to the
Council in June of 1966 recommended a #2 priority for widening of Johnson Avenue.
in the vicinity of the underpass and that.,, in following this priority schedule, his
office had contacted Mr. Sodemati °and presented a widening agreement in accordance
with adopted City policy.
1 The City Council. discussed the reasoning in attempting to acquire street widening
on Johnson Avenue as,this was not included in the 1966/67 acquisition priority
of the City Council and-they wished the City. Engineer to concentrate on the priority
streets previously adopted by the City Council.
On motion of.Councilman Gallagher, seconded by Councilman Miller., the Sodeman street
widening was referred to - Mr. Johnson, the new City'Atforney. Notio n- carried.

On motion of Councilman Miller,;seconded by Councilman Blake, the request of the
Chamber of Commerce was approved. Motion carried.
Z. Mr. Morabito, dba Paul's Cleaners, appeared before the City Council requesting
that try grant a variance to allow a 65 foot driveway in front of their place
of business at 214 Higuera Street.
Mr. Morabito stated that since the installation of the traffic signals at South and ,
Higuera is and the painting of the traffic lines on Higuera Street including
the turning pockets, that it has caused egress and ingress problems for their
motorists and he felt that the enlargement of this driveway would eliminate this
problem.
Mr. Romero, City Engineer, explained to the City �;ouncil requirements of the Code,
explaining that the primary detriments to granting a continuous driveway for this
property would be lack of protection for pedestrians and lack of control for cars
entering and leaving the site.
The City Council discussed this request for an enlarged driveway ramp and several
Councilmen felt that this was not the answer to Paul's Cleaners problem and felt
that this request should be studied further.
The matter was referred to the Traffic Committee for further investigation.
10. W. E. Flory, Director of Parks and Recreation Department, presented a proposal
Tr om the Parks and Recreation Commission to renovate and landscape the traffic
islands on Grand Avenue.
Mr. Flory stated that the ice plant in the traffic islands was dead due to the poor
soil and no water.or maintenance and felt that this ground could be sterilized,
gravel placed therein, and several palm trees planted.
Mr. Flory estimates that the cost to renovate and replant these traffic islands '
would be approximately $2000.
R. D. Miller, Administrative Officer, reminded the City Council of their action
on this request during the b udget session as follows: Mr. Chapman had requested
$3500 for 35 specimen trees. The item had been deleted from the proposed budget
and the Council had gone along with the deletion.
The City Council asked why the ice plant in the traff ice islands was allowed to die
and what was the cause as this is normally a low upkeep ground cover.
Mr. Flory answered that these traffice islands had not been watered and fertilized
since the ice plant had been planted.
The City Council also stated they felt that low shrubbery or ground cover would be
more satisfactory in the traffic islands rather than clusters of palm trees which
are dirty and difficult to maintain. The matter of the traffic hazard to school
children caused by the trees was also mentioned.
By common consent of the Council, Mr. Flory was instructed to fertilize and water
the present plantings in an attempt to-.revive them.. The fertilizer was to be charged
to #214.3.
11. Communication from the San Luis Coastal Unified School District regarding a '
resolution adopted by the City of Santa Maria opposing the current application
of the Field Act. It was the feeling of the local School Board that the Field Act
is a good one and they did not feel it was necessary for the City Council to take
any action on this problem.
On motion of Councilman Blake, seconded by Concilman Spring, the dommunication
was received and filed, Motion carried.
12. At this time the City Council discussed the revision of Grand Avenue on and off
ramps to the 101 Freeway.
Mayor Whelchel stated that he felt that a new off ramp from Grand Avenue north
bound on the 101 Freeway should be constructed and felt that the State should
be encouraged
City Council Minutes
October 24, 1966
Page 8
to begin studies to accomplish this construction in the near future.
Mayor Whelchel continued that this was the main reason that he objected to selling
or abandoning any portion of Abbott Street at Buena Vista Street.
' The City Council discussed the need of the construction of an on ramp from 101
Freeway to Grand Avenue but based on the letter received from the Division of
Highways that no part of Abbott Street is being considered by the Divisioa of
Highways the matter was dropped from the agenda.
13. Councilman Miller brought to the Council's attention the need for the City to
begin negotiations with the Division of Highways for the construction of a grade
separation at Broad Street and 101 Freeway.
Councilman Miller stated that this separation is needed in order to allow more
traffic from the north part of the City to travel through the City and also allow
for a one way caplet to be initiated using Broad Street and Chorro Street as a pair
of one way streets.
Councilman Miller stated he felt very strongly about this separation as Chorro
Street was carrying an extremely high number of automobiles and was becoming over-
crowded.
City Engineer, D. F. Romero, asked if this was to be a full interchange because if
it was only a grade separation, then the on and off ramp at Broad Street would be
closed and persons living id the North Broad area would be required to drive all the
way to Santa Rosa Street to get on the Freeway.
Mr. Miller stated now that negotiations with the Standard oil Company had broken
down, that possibly the City would wish to receive proposals from other major oil
companies.
Mr. Miller suggested that the City send out proposals with a $550 per month minimum
bid, and a variable number of cents per gallon, with the City Council to determine
the most advantageous bid to the City.
The City Attorney was requested to prepare lease proposals for call of bids for
service station site on Prado Road in line with recommendation of the Administrative
Officer.
The matter was held over to November 7, 1966.
15. On motion of Councilman Blake, seconded by Councilman Gallagher, the proposal
of M. E. Willeford to perform audit services for the fiscal year 1966/67 was
accepted. Motion carried.
' 17. The City staff was authorized to advertise for bids for sale of surplus property
adjacent to Buena Vista grade separation as per prior Council determination.
18. On motion of Councilman Gallagher, seconded by Councilman Spring, the Mayor
was authorized to accept and record the following grant deeds on behait of the City.
A. Grant Deed and Agreement from Calvary Baptist Church for street widening
on Foothill Boulevard.
B. Grant Deed and Agreement from Anthony and Angie C. Madruga for streen
widening on Broad Street.
C. Grant Deed and Agreement from Roland C. and Marlene M. Maddalena for
street widening on Broad Street.
D. Grant Deed and Agreement from Carolyn M. Filipponi and Mary C. Guerra for

Motion carried.
After some
discussion
by the City Council'the matter was referred to the City
Attorney to

resolution urging the Division of Highways to initiate
'
studies on
this grade
separation.
14. R. D.
Miller, Administrative Officer, brought to the Council's attention
further consideration
of a service station lease on City owned property on Prado
Road.
Mr. Miller stated now that negotiations with the Standard oil Company had broken
down, that possibly the City would wish to receive proposals from other major oil
companies.
Mr. Miller suggested that the City send out proposals with a $550 per month minimum
bid, and a variable number of cents per gallon, with the City Council to determine
the most advantageous bid to the City.
The City Attorney was requested to prepare lease proposals for call of bids for
service station site on Prado Road in line with recommendation of the Administrative
Officer.
The matter was held over to November 7, 1966.

19. On motion of Councilman Gallagher, seconded by Councilman Spring, a public
hearing was set for November 7, 1966 on the recommendation of the Planning
Commission to rezone from R -2 to R -0 property located at 2225, 2231, 2241 and 2251
Broad Street. Motion carried.
20. The City Clerk presented the following bids received for furnishing motor
vehicles to the City. (See Exhibit A) ,
R. D. Miller, Administrative Officer, recommended that the City accept the low bids
for items 1 through 5 and keep the 1959 studebaker pickup for a spare in the Building
Department and reject the bid on the dump truck as only one bid was received and it
appeared quite high and possibly bids could be called on the dump truck at a later
date.
The City Council discussed the bid received for the dump truck and felt that if the
bid received was based on specifications prepared by the City and if the City needed
the truck, then it should be purchased although no other bidder seemed interested.
The City Council discussed with the representative of the Ford Motor Company, the
various cost items involved between the chassie and body for this dump truck.
On motion of Councilman Gallagher, seconded by Councilman Blake, that the City
accept the low bids on all items 1 through 6 with the City keeping the old truck
