COMMUNICATIONS
1. Communication presented from the San Luis Obispo County Flood Control and Water
Conservation District requesting approval by the Council of a request to
divert Salinas Dam water through the army camp to Morro Bay to alleviate
a pressing water problem in that community.
Mr. Houser, City Attorney, briefed the Council on the problems involved in
the request of Mr. Born.
At the request of Mayor Waters, Mr. Thompson, Water Superintendent, recommended
that the City take no action, as the City has no excess water nor the
facilities to divert water -to Chorro Creek. Further, as the facilities are
owned primarily by the U.S.Army, Mr. Thompson believed the army should
make the decision regarding the diversion of water.
Mr. Miller, Administrative Officer, stated to the Council he concurred
in the recommendation of..Mr. Thompson that the City should take -no
action on this matter. The City Clerk was requested to notify Mr. Born,
the County Water Engineer, regarding the Council's action..
2. Communication from Union Hardware, 1126 Chorro Street, notifying the City
Council that the present plan of double parking in front of their store
for unloading and loading appears to work effectively without..any serious
or prolonged delay of traffic and advise the city that if they can continue
this method, they will not require a special loading zone.
Communication from the Citizen'
recommending the following to
"1. Some years ago, Pismo Street and Palm Street were designated as parts
of a downtown loop which was formed for the.purpose of diverting
through traffic around the.downtown business district, thus relieving
congestion. As you know, pismo Street is rather narrow, and its full
usefulness cannot be realized because of the large number.of all day
parkers. The committee recommends that both sides of Pismo Street
1
SEP Z 1 1y5'd
between Osos and Broad be designated as a two -hour time limit between
9 AM and 6 PM, Sundays and Holidays excepted, with the exception of the
no- parking area in effect on the south side of Pismo for a portion of
the block laying between Morro and Chorro.
"2. The committee has observed the value of the yellow loading zone
on the west side of Chorro between Monterey and Higuera and feels that
an even greater problem exists in the adjoining block of Chorro between
Higuera and Marsh, since there is a job in alignment, and this block is
some five feet narrower than the Monterey - Higuera block. .After careful
study, the committee recommends that the council eliminate the eleven
parking meter spaces on the east side of Chorro between Higuera and
Marsh and install a loading zone similar to the one in the next block
on a six month trial basis. The committee fully realizes that the park-
ing district program has not yet been completed and that some hardship
may be created by.the elimivation,of the eleven customer parking spaces.
However, it feels that a greater detriment to the:'downtown business
district now exists with the extremely congested situation in this
block as far as traffic movement is concerned. The committee also feels
that there is a real need for loading facilities, in this key commercial
r�= area."
. r
Q
Mr. Miller, Administrative Officer recommended to the Council that they hold
a public hearing on the recommendation of the committee so that public
feeling can be searched out by the Council.
After some discussion.by the Council, the recommendations were referred to

action to the Council.

1159 -9 -1C. At the request of the Council, the Traffic Committee has
studied a suggestion that parking be restricted on Chorro south of Foot-
e hill Blvd., especially in view of the traffic signals which -.will be
installed in the near future. The committee has given this careful

1. .Both sides of Chorro Street from the south property lines
of Foothill Boulevard to 110 feet south of hhe south pfoperty
line of Rougeot Place.

line of North Chorro Street to 110 feet east.

driveway ramp as a further step toward reduction of the existing
congestion."

Kenneth W. Jones, seconded by J. Barry Smith.

Stops on Chaplin Lane and Albert Drive Where they Intersect With

exactly what remedies would be most appropriate, if any. The dol•lege
