completed by the Planning Commission.

request should follow normal procedures as the Council has never set a special
hearing for the regular citizens of the City requesting rezoning and that he believe
that the Council would be critized, and justly so, if special consideration were

restore the Little Adobe Millcfor its historical value and that a tea room be
placed on the upper level for use by the citizens and visitors.
She also asked that the City Council consider purchasing and keeping it intact
for its historical value. Judge Murray was a member of Stevenson's volunteers,
writer of the vigilantes oath, editor and part .owner in the Tribune and one of the
five judges of the first judicial district that comprised the mid coast counties.
She continued that due to its historical value, this adobe should be retained to
be used for the good of the community with the possibility of the City or Chamber
of Commerce using part of the building for an office and one room should be kept

on an important thoroughfare but will prevent all day parkers from hampering business

Grand Avenue area near Garfield, the Traffic Committee feels that a red zone eliminatii
parking on the east side of Grand extending from Garfield 70 feet in a soutle rly

The Traffic Committee to contact property owner before any action on this matter.
Councilman Miller will contact the property owner.
13. Traffic Committee .Report of December 6, 1962.
62 -12 -5T The Traffic Committee has taken a look at the congested parking
conditions in front of the Post Office on Marsh Street and feels that it would be
beneficial to eliminate the snorkel mail box in front of the Post Office and
replace the existing white zone with two green 12 minute zones. lie feel that this
area will be adequately served by the snorkel -box across the street in front of the
Chamber of Commerce office and that this box will be more convenience because it is
located on the driver's side.
We have also recommended to the Postmaster that he move the snorkel box to Higuera
Street just west of Chorro on the south side and located in the existing yellow
loading zone in front of Ross Jewelers. He has agreed that this would be a good move.
Mayor Davidson stated that the :''intersection of Chorro and Higuera was the most
congested corner in the City and that the placement of a snorkel mail box at this
intersection would add to an already congested intersection.
After discussion of City Council, it was moved by Councilman Miller,- seconded by
Councilman Shipsey, that the white zone be eliminated and a twelve minute green
zone be added and that the Council hold over the matter of placing the mail box at
Chorro and Higuera. Motion carried.
On motion of Councilman Miller, seconded by Councilman Shipsey, the following
resolution was introduced. Resolution No. 1042, a resolution establishing a twelve
minute parking zone on Marsh Street in front of the Post Office.

foot red zone be placed on either side of the driveway entrance to Maintenance
Yard No. 3 at 447 Santa Barbara Avenue, the Traffic Committee recommends that this
be approved by the Council.
On motion of Councilman Miller, seconded by Councilman Shipsey, the following
resolution was introduced. Resolution No. 1043, a resolution establishing a no
parking zone on Santa Barbara Avenue. Passed and adopted on the following roll
call vote:
AYES: Clay P. Davidson, R. L. Graves, Jr., Miss Margaret McNeil,
Donald Q. Miller, Gerald [d. Shipsey
62 -12 -7T In regard to the tentative offer of the Southern Pacific Railroad for
an improved bridge on Mill Street over the railroad tracks, it is suggested that
the Council authorize a tracer letter to the company with reference to a firm offer
to the City. .
1 Recommendation approved.on motion of Councilman Graves, seconded by Councilman Miller,
and the Mayor was authorized to write a tracer letter to the Southern Pacific Company
in regard to the overcrossing on Mill Street.
62 -12 -8T In reviewing the City's sidewalk policy, the Traffic Committee feels that
in many instances there would be distinct advantages to having an integral sidewalk
and in other cases, to have a sidewalk separated from the curb by a planting strip.
We recognize the desire for uniformity, but feel that some variety would not be
offensive, particularly if it enabled us to save trees and other desirable plantings.
It is therefore our recommendation that the Council adopt a new policy allowing the
Engineer to negotiate with property owners, taking into consideration their desires
for the type of sidewalk to be installed, provided that he be authorized to require
reasonable standards governing the transition between the integral sidewalk and
separated sidewalk.
The City Council discussed the recommendation of the Traffic Committee.
Mayor Davidson stated that he believed that it would be very difficult for this
proposal to be successful as it would require.individual negotiation with each
property owner.
David F. Romero, City Engineer, presented a sketch showing the Traffic Committee's
recommendation and stated that this would allow each property owner, if he wished,
to put in an integral or divided,'.sidewalk in front of his property.
J. W. Abraham, Director of Planning and Building, stated that he supported this
recommendation as it would give the person paying for the improvements a choice of
the location and would in some instances save trees as well as serving to help break
up the rigid monotony in the residential area and urged that the Council approve this
recommendation at least for a trial period.
On motion of Councilman Graves, seconded by Councilman Miller, that the Traffic
Committee's recommendation be accepted. Passed on the following roll call vote:
AYES: Miss Margaret McNeil, R. L. Graves, Jr., Donald Q. Miller
NOES: Gerald W. Shipsey, Clay P. Davidson
ABSENT: None
14. Communication from Mrs. Dorothy Harlan, 667 Stanford Drive, urging the installation
of sidewalks in the City of San Luis Obispo.
Mayor Davidson was authorized to communicate with Mrs. Harlan, .informing her of the
City Council's policy.
---------------------
' Mayor Davidson called a- recess at 9:30 P....M. Meeting was reconvened at 9:45 P. M.
with all of Council present.
15. Mavor Davidson stated that in addition to all other sidewalk problems in the City,
the Uty Council should come up with some policy decision of the property located
at 124 Highland Drive as possibly this sidewalk was left out of the original sub-
division as it was felt that this property could be re- subdivided and that sidewalks
would be required as part of the future development and further that the Quintana
School side of Highland Drive is used by children going to school and that they would
continue to use the school side of the sidewalk for access.
Mayor Davidson proposed that sidewalks be placed at owner's expense, but that extra
grading or retaining walls bezpaid for by the.City and that.any time in the future
the property is subdivided, then the subdivider would reimburse the City for the co
of these extra improvements.
Councilman Graves stated that he-did not agree with this as no special commitment
was made to the residents of-Slack Street who are required to place sidewalks under
the provisions of the 1911 Act, and the retaining walls were put in at the owner's
expense.
W .
M. Houser, City Attorney, stated that he was informed that the sidewalk improve-
ment at 124 Highland Drive would only cost $1,200.00 if a four (4) foot integral side-
walk would be allowed to be placed instead of the divided sidewalk.with parking strip.
Councilman Shipsey stated that he did not believe that the original intent of the, .
sidewalk requirement was to add extraordi nary expense to individual property owners.
Further, that he.believes that the School District should place sidewalks on their side
of the street as this is where the children are presently walking.
Councilman Miller stated that he believes that. the Council was giving the property
owner a concession at 124 Highland Drive as the City is only requiring a four (4)
foot integral sidewalk which will only require the placement of a 3 1/2 foot of concrete
rather than requiring that the property owner follow the pattern of adjacent properties.
Councilman Graves stated that he agrees that if no use would be made of the sidewalk,
then he did not believe that it should be placed, but in the case of the subject pro-
perty, he believes that the need had been shown.
Councilman Miller stated that he had attended a meeting of the Quintana PTA
executive committee and that this PTA group was embarking on a program to en-
courage the placement of sidewalks in the McMillan Tract adjacent to the Quintana
School and that if any exception was made on the Smith property, then it would be
extremely difficult to convince people that they should place sidewalks.,
Councilman Shipsey stated that he believes that the School District should be asked
to cooperate in placing sidewalks, on Highland Drive. I . .
On a motion of Councilman Shipsey, seconded by Councilman Graves, that a request
be made of the School District for sidewalks to be placed on the Quintana frontage of
Highland Drive. Motion carried.
Z . On a motion of Councilman Shipsey, seconded by Councilman Graves, the following
resolution was introduced. Resolution No. 1036, a resolution transferring monies

Department on issuance of permits to all governmental agencies including special
