HomeMy WebLinkAbout10/16/1961The Mayor briefly iterated his views on the future of certain dead -end
streets within the City, with particular emphasis on the future develop-
ment of the property belonging to James Jones at the end of Sydney. He
asked the Commission to study this problem and submit a recommendation
as to the way the existing Ordinance would be improved to protect the
City concerning this particular problem.
7. Discussion of future Setback Policy.
-The City Attorney briefly reviewed City Council Resolution No. 341
(1958 Series).
The Council and Commission discussed in great detail some of the
problems to be considered when adopting the Setback Policy.
The joint meeting adjourned at 11:22 P. M., and the City Council retired
to the Conference Room for continued discussion of a policy to implement the
Setback Ordinance.
8. The City Council discussed at length various proposals to implement this
ordinance particularly with reference to the owners of land which is
large enough to subdivide into two or three parcels, but not large
enough for commercial -type subdivisions. The City Council discussed
this matter as it operates under the present Setback Policy and sug-
gestions as to how it should operate under new policy.
On motion of Councilman Graves, seconded by Councilwoman McNeil, the meeting
adjourned at 1:05 A. M.

curb, gutter and sidewalk.

engineer or surveyor.

Councilman Graves explained briefly the proposed policy changes being
considered by the City Council for situations of this type under the
newly adopted Setback Ordinance. Mayor Davidson discussed the fact that
the Council had not settled the matter of small subdivisions, and then
explained setback policies under consideration by the Council at this
time. Councilman Miller stated that, unfortunately, he was not present
at the meeting when the Council discussed proposed Council Policies
under the new Building Setback Ordinance. Councilman Miller then
read the following statement and requested that it be placed in the
minutes:
' "The Facts
Mr. A. A. Baker has a 240 foot lot fronting on Foothill Blvd. He wishes
to split off a 90 foot lot from.the 240 foot piece.
The Small Subdivision Review Board in complying with the ordinance re-
quires Baker to deed to the City a strip of land approximately 22 feet
by 240 feet for the street widening - -Baker to install curb, gutter and
sidewalk at his expense. Giving the land plus installation of all the
improvements is objected to by Baker.
The Problem
In the Baker case the problem is to differentiate between a casual or
small subdivider and a professional subdivider. In my opinion the
present ordinance is not equitable. Baker is giving the land and not
receiving compensation.
The premise of the present ordinance is that any individual splitting
a large lot of record is a subdivider. I have steadfastly maintained
there is a difference between an individual or corporation which derives
its existence from land development and a citizen who has a large lot of
record who wishes "to split his lot into smaller segments. This person
should not be placed in the class of the "professional" subdivider.
Suggested Solution
What criteria can be used to determine when an individual is or is not
a subdivider? In general the state has taken the arbitrary figure of
S or more lots as the breaking point between a subdivider and a small -
subdivider.
My suggestion would be this: any person owning large lots of record on
a street governed -by-the Setback Ordinance would be exempt from the pre-
sent ordinance if he splits no more than four.lots.
The conditions of the land conveyance and improvements would be governed
by the following conditions: (a) If the land taken equals the value of
the improvements then land would be traded for improvements. (b) Should
improvements exceed the value of the land taken then the property owner
would be required to pay the difference. (c) Conversely, should land
exceed the value of the improvements then the City would pay the property
owner the difference.
Improvements mean curb, gutter, and sidewalk."
City Council and Staff discussed the proposal as presented by Councilman
Miller. Councilman Graves stated that after study, he believed the fair-
est solution was to require improvements on the parcel and then value the
land taken and have the City put in curb, gutter, and sidewalk and have
the property owner either make up the difference or receive anything over
cost of improvements to the value of the land. The property owner would
pay for the parcel being improved, and the City would improve the balance
of the parcel in the manner mentioned above, but a covenant would be re-
corded that would run with the land and with any future splits of the lots,
the improvements would be paid for by the property owner to the City.
A. A. Baker stated upon questioning that he believed he would withdraw
his request for a lot split as it was too involved and complicated at
this time and he would just as soon wait until a new and fairer policy
was established by the Council.
Mr. Donn stated thenwhole-probiemtwas the 't:City-,nwdntedktht.dpropertyc ,owner
toggive Iandafor *..street wideningstoothenCityewithdutopp }.ment -land hbibe-
lieved the only solution would be for the City to appraise the property,
purchase the land at its fair value, and then have the property owner
put in his curb, gutter and sidewalk as is required by other property
owners in the community.
Mayor Davidson moved that the Council defer action of this appeal until
a Council Policy had been established on street widening. Motion lost
for lack of a second.
Mr. Carl Lownes asked if property owners would be allowed to appear before
the Council and present their ideas of the various proposals presented by
the Council at these meetings, and further, at this.moment he believed
that the proposal.of Councilman Miller was the fairest method of ac-
quiring street widening for the City. He added that as a party to the
suit against the City on the Plan Line Ordinance, and speaking for their
attorney, who was ill, he believed the City had committed a breach of
faith and his group would not withdraw their suit until this matter had
been resolved.
On motion of Mayor Davidson, seconded by Councilman Shipsey, a special
meeting was set for October 30, 1961, to discuss and establish policies
to implement the Set Back Ordinance recently adopted by the City. Motion
carried.
6. At this time Mayor Davidson announced the City would hold a public
auction for the sale of the Old City Corporation Yard on Lots 18, and
19, Block 186, in the Homestead Tract.
The Mayor opened the auction for sale at a minimum bid of $12,000.00.
There being no bidders, the auction for sale was closed
The Mayor then opened public auction for the lease of the said property,
minimum bid $100'_per month with a five -year lease. Mr. Les Anderson
bid $100 per month for five years in accordance with the published
specifications. There being no further bidders, the bid of Les Ander-
son was accepted and the auction was closed. On motion of Councilman
Graves, seconded by Councilman Shipsey, the following ordinance was
introduced and passed to print on the following roll call vote:
ORDINANCE N0. 204 (1961 Series) "An ordinance authorizing lease of
Corporation Yard."
AYES: Miss Margaret McNeil, R. L. Graves, Jr., Donald Q. Miller,
Gerald W. Shipsey, Clay P. Davidson
NOES: None

7. At this time the City Council held a public hearing on Resolution No. 844,
"A Resolution giving notice of proposed annexation to the City of San Luis
Obispo of uninhabited territory described herein and designated "Johe
Property," and giving notice of time and place for hearing of protests
thereto.
Public hearing opened.. There were no protests. Public hearing closed.
On motionoof Councilman Graves, seconded by Councilman Miller, the fol-
lowing ordinance was introduced and passed to print of following roll
call vote:
ORDINANCE NO. 205 (1961 Series) "An ordinance approving the annexation
of certain uninhabited territory, designated "Jobe Property ", to the
City of San Luis Obispo, California."
AYES: Miss Margaret McNeil, R. L. Graves, Jr., Donald Q. Miller,
Gerald W. Shipsey, Clay P.. Davidson
NOES: None
ABSENT: None
8. At this time the Mayor declared a public hearing on the appeal of Arnett
and Broadbent from the decision from the Planning Commission in denying
a variance of 10•ft. in the required width of a building.site in•a R -1
Zone, said lots being 12, and 13, Block 5, Monterey Heights Tract.
Mr. Arnett, Realtor appeared before the City Council on behalf of-this
appeal of the decision of the Planning Commission and reviewed for the
City Council the facts already presented on behalf of this appeal. He
further stated, it was not economically feasible for an individual to
purchase adjoining lots in order to make the 50 ft. lots of record con-
form to the ordinance. Mr. Arnett presented examples of building permits
issued for 50 ft. lots of record in the past two years and also listed
50 ft. lots which were created by lot splits and approved by the Planning
Commission in the past two years.
Mr. Broadbent, Realtor then appeared before the City and presented addi-
tional information and evidence in support of his appeal of the Planning
Commission denial of the mse of a 50 ft. lot of record. Mr. Broadbent
presented a letter from Richard Harris, and four other property owners
across the street from this property stating that they did not object
to the use of these 50 ft. lots for homesites. Mr. Broadbent also pre-
sented a petition of protest signed by 18 realtors in not being allowed
to use 50 ft. lots of record which existed prior to.the effective date
of the Ordinance. ,
Councilman Miller stated that he believed that the enforcement of these
provisions of the ordinance was discriminating against the wage earner
as they could not afford to buy large parcels of land and build modest
homes in the City of San Luis Obispo under the conditions laid down by
the City Ordinance. Councilman Miller then read the following statement
and requested that it be placed•in the minutes:
"Is our City's policy of setting a minimum site for residential
building lots in the public interest?
This Councilman is of the opinion it is not. Why? First, our
present ordinance requires all new subdivisions to have lots no
smaller than 60x100. Second, where older subdivisions have 50
foot undeveloped R -1 lots the City has attempted (under certain
conditions) to restrict building on these lots.
The effect of this poslicy is to put building lots out of the
reach of many citizens. If the trend continues subdividers will
be forced to build homes for only the upper income citizens.
One solution would be to allow in certain sections of our City
houses built on smaller lots. W. Schwartz of the City Planning
Commission (and an architect) has stated his profession can de-
sign attractive houses which will fit on 35 and 40 foot lots.
My suggestion to the Council is that we immediately consider
revising our present ordinance so the needs of the greatest number
of our citizens can be attained."
Councilman Miller.moved that the City grant Jules Sibilio a variance to
build on a fifty foot lot of record and that a building permit be issued.
Motion denied for lack of a second. Miles Fitzgerald appeared before
the City Council urging that a building permit be granted to these appli-
cants, as most lots in the City of San Luis Obispo were designed as 50 ft.
lot subdivisions, and further, in all justice he believed that any sub-
' division of record, regardless of lot size, should be allowed to be usedd
and built on. He further stated that 50 ft. lots were historically
accepted as building sites and any existing lots should be allowed to be
used. He suggested that the City Council ament the Ordinance so that
lots of record could be used and developed.
Mr. D. F. Romero, City Engineer stated that for the 4z years the Build-
ing Department was assigned to his office it had not enforced the pro-
visions of this section, and in this.period many subdivisions were allowed
to be put in and building permits were gtanted on lots of 50 ft. or less
in width as this present interpretation of the Ordinance was not given
at that time in his department.
Councilman Graves stated that many years aro 50 ft. lots were adequate, .
but now, with changing habits and growth of families larger lots "were
the rule, not the exception, and people require .larger lots to accom-
modate'the type of homes being built today.
Mr. Lownes appeared before the Council stating that any many should.
be allowed to build on any lot of record within the City. On motion
of Councilman Graves, seconded by Councilman Shipsey, that the City.-
Council hold a public hearing on whether to amend the ordinance to.allow
all 50 ft. lots of record to be used and built upon. Meeting to be
held November 6, 1961. Motion carried.
On motion of Councilman Miller, seconded by Councilman Shipsey that
a variance be granted to Jules Sibilio and Donald Stimson to use
lots 12, and 13, Block 50, Monterey Heights. Motion carried on
following roll call vote:.
AYES: Miss Margaret McNeil, Donald Q. Miller, Gerald W. Shipsey
NOES: R. L. Graves, Jr., Clay P. Davidson
ABSENT: None
10. Mr. Wood, Attorney appeared before the City Council on behalf of his
client Mr. C. M. Scarbrough who ttr: Wood claimed had relied on the
action of the Small Subdivision Committee which did not require water
main extension to the property being purchased by Mr. Scarbrough from
Mrs. Rinker, and on this basis-Mr. Scarbrough purchased the property
and Mr. Scarbrough's attorney contends that on this basis the City
should not require contribution by Mr. Scarbrough for extensim of his
water main, but should abide by the requirements of their own staff,
or Subdivision Committee. Mr. Scarbrough stated that a 22" water main
presently existed in-the street in front of his property and11e could
not see why the Council would not allow him to hook up to this water
line which would solve his problem. Upon questioning by the Council,
Mr. Scarbrough admitted that the Water Superintendent had informed
him before he applied for a small subdivision that he would be required
to install a 6" main along the full frontage of his property. Mr.
Scarbrough stated as this was not put in-,wiitnng he decided to go
along with the requirements of the Small Subdivision Committee which
did not require water main installation.
Mr. Houser, City Attorney explained the provisions of the City Ordi-
regarding the installation of water main extensions of the subdivider.
Mr. Thompson, Water Superintendent explained to the Council just what
he had presented to Mr. Scarbrough on this long before any action was
taken by the Small Subdivision Committee, and further, that Mr. Scarbrough
had the provisions of-the water main extension ordinance explained in
detail long before the subdivision was consumated. The City Council
discussed the appeal of Mr. Scarbrough, and prior action taken by the
Council when he originall appealed this decision.
Councilman Miller stated he believed the City Council had treated
Mr. Scarbrough very fairly in agreeing to pay 2 the cost of the water
main extension and not requiring full improvements as is normally re-
quired in subdivisions of this type. Councilman Graves stated that he
agreed with Councilman Miller that the City has treated this property
owner fairly regarding his water main extension and the City should
not make this extension at the City's expense.
Councilman Shipsey agreed that Mr. Scarbrough had a problem in misunder-
standing the provisions of the ordinance and provisions of the subdivision,
but he believed the City had met Mr. Scarbrough more than halfway in the
matter of this water main extension.
On motion of Mayor Davidson, seconded by Councilman Miller, it was
moved that the appeal of Mr. Scarbrough be denied on the following
roll call vote:
AYES: Miss Margaret McNeil, Donald Q. Miller, R. L. Graves, Jr.,
Clay P. Davidson
NOES: Gerald W. Shipsey
