9. Traffic Committee Report of March 5, 1964.
10. 64 -2 -7C In regard to the request of the United Meat Market for a loading zone
in front of their establishment at 714 Higuera Street and the previous
recommendation of the Traffic Committee that a loading zone be established at
the corner of Higuers and Broad on the north side of Broad and the existing
12 minute parking zone be moved one space to the east, the Traffic Committee
has re- studied this at the request of the Council. One suggestion was to
move the loading zone around the corner onto Broad Street. However, the
Traffic Committee feels that this would not be nearly as useful to the business:
in the area as the corner location on Higuera Street and re- submits its
original recommendation.
64 -3 -1T The Traffic Committee has made a study of the loading zones on the
north side of Higuera in the 700 block and feels that one of these zones coup;
be eliminated and replaced with two metered spaces. It is recom andee, that
the zone to the east of the crosswalk in the vicinity of Woolworth's be
eliminated. Police Department studies indicate that in one week's time only
9 trucks used one of the loading zones and 10 the other.
64 -3-_2C So Traffic Committee bas reviewed the intersection of High. Pisces
and Higurra Streets, and is unable to arrive at a aolutioa mhieh will completr1'.:,r
solve the problem without a major modification and large expense. It is our
opinion, however, that some temporary chaffielization using sand bags would 'fie
useful. Therefore, if the Council has no objection, the Public Works
Department will experiment with the temporary channelization.
64 -3-4C The Traffic Committee has looked at the parking situation at the
extreme easterly end of Foothill Boulevard and agrees that a No Parking
Zone should be established at the dead -end of the street.

64 -3 -SC The Traffic Committee has looked at the traffic conditions at
Foothill and Patricia Drive, and if the Council has no objection, the City
Engineer will take steps to have the obstructing pepper tree trimmed or
removed and the mail box moved. .
64 -34T The Traffic Committee has received a letter from the C. L. Smith
School area asking for a school crossing and a speed limit designation for the
corner of Madonna Road and Oceanaire Drive as well as traffic signals. The
Committee feels that this is too far away from the C. L. Smith School to
justify a speed limit marking, but if the Council has no objection, the Public
Works Department will have signs erected reading " School Crossing."
64 -3 -7T For a number of years, the Traffic Committee has been concerned wit;
traffic accidents which are occurring on Sandercock Street and on Islay Strer:,
We feel these accidents would be reduced somewhat by the installation of stn.
signs in order to clearly designate Sandercock and Islay Streets as being
through streets. To complete the protected system, the Traffic Committee
recommends stop signs on Sandercock Street, stopping traffic on Price, Har;n ::
and King Streets, and on Islay, stopping Carmel and Peach Streets. In a&5.•:,,.:
the Traffic Committee has noted high hedges on the corner of Harris and
Sandercock and on the corner of King and Sandercock. If the Council has n,-
objection, the Public Works Department will take steps to trim these hedg
down to three feet above the top of the curb within the 35 fost corner cl.: :.
64 -3 -8T The Traffic Committee has received a request from Kelly -Moore Home
Improvement Center for red zones for either side of their parking lot entrance
on Santa Barbara Avenue. The Traffic Committee realizes that there is a
problem in approach to the fast traffic on a major street but feels the
situation at Kelly -Moore does not differ from many other driveways throughout
the community. Therefore, red zones would not be warranted unless the City is
willing to provide similar red zones in numerous other locations. The
Traffic Committee feels that Kelly -Moore could help their own problem by proper
channelization of their driveway and has instructed the City Engineer to
request Kelly -Moore to take this step.
64 -3 -9T The Traffic Committee has received a letter from H. C. Allen requestir,;
a short time limit parking in front of his barber shop at 1226 Osos Street. Tad
Traffic Committee noted that this block and blocks nearby contained a two hour
parking restriction and that ample parking was available. Therefore, the
Traffic Committee recommends this request be denied.
64 -3 -10T The Traffic Committee has received a complaint concerning a
hedge on the southerly corner of Johnson and Sydney Streets. It was the
opinion of the Committee that the stop sign on Sydney provides a good
measure of safety and that the terrain would make the trimming of the
nsatisfactory in improving visibility.
64 -3 -11T The Traffic Committee discussed the possibility of making Mill
Street a one way street but was of the opinion that traffic conditions did no::
warrant this step at this time
64 -3 -12T The Traffic Committee has been informed of hazardous traffic
conditions at Lincoln and Chorro, with a specific request for stop signs
stopping Chorro Street. The Traffic Committee feels that this would 5e an
undesirable restriction to traffic and that the primary problem is r,.aed, which•
will be better controlled after the additional police officers have Oeen hired.
Traffic Committee Report of March 11, 1964.
64-3-1 The Traffic Committee has met vitb Mr. Baletti from the Telephone
Company at the request of Covneileen Craves and Miller, regarding the propos 'Rd
open house on May 20-220 1964. Rather than interfere with normal operations
of the City Hall parking lot which involve official car spaces, visitor parking
and monthly rentals, it was felt that the erection of a tent and exhibition
space could better be accommodated in the Library parking area alongside the
Telephone Company building. This has been discussed with Miss Clark, and she
feels that arrangements can be worked out for the use of the Library lot.
The Telephone Company has been asked to contact the City Attorney in the
preparation of a document holding the City harmless during the event.

64 -3 -14T For some time, the Traffic Committee has been concerned about the
prevalence of employees and merchants on Higuera Street feeding parking meters
and thus pre - empting spaces which would otherwise be available for customers.
The possibility of short time limit parking has been mentioned as a way of
avoiding this, but it has been felt that 12 minutes was too short a time. It
recommended that at least on a trial basis, five 24 minute time limit spaces
be placed on the north side of Higuera Street, extending in a westerly directior
from the first green zone west of Chorro. These zones would be marked green r:I1 .
each parking meter post would be equipped with a metallic sign reading "24
Minute Time Limit."
64 -3 -1ST With the closing of Sauer's Market, the Traffic Committee feels ti
there is no longer a need for a loading zone at the location and recommends
that this zone be eliminated and two 12 minute parking meter zones substitut
64 -3 -16T The Traffic Committee has been making a s':udy of the snorkel mail-
box locations and feels that the following changes would be very desirable:
(a) It is recommended that a snorkel box be placed at the exit of Parking
..........
= Lot A servicing north bound traffic onto Monterey Street. The bdx would F::
placed just south of the planter box and would accommodate motorists from
driver's side.
(b) It is likewise recommended that a snorkel box be placed in the other raw
of traffic leading to Higuera Street in a similar location and that the
existing box on Higuera Street be eliminated. It is likewise recommended 1-ba -.t
the present white zone at that location be replaced with a red zone.
(c) It is recommended that the box in front of the Chamber of Commerce be
relocated and the white zone at that location be replaced with a 12 minute
green parking meter zone. It is recommended that the box be placed just east
of the driveway ramp behind Riley's Department Store on the north side of P2arsh
and that the two parking meters at tbst location be replaced with a white
loading zone.
This matter was referred to the Traffic Committee for re- study.
(d) It is recommended that the existing white zone in front of the City Ball
on the north side of Palm, west of Osos, be enlarged by one car space an'
green zone to the west be decreased to accommodate this larger white zk.; <...
The snorkel box would then be moved further to the west and would avoid
a bit of congestion at the intersection.
64 -3 -17T For some time the Traffic Committee has been plagued with the �:•:xjy
.wolved in trimming hedges and other obstructions to visibility within the
'`5 foot corner cut -offs. This has been particularly confusing where there arm
Ufferent zonings involved, since there is a difference in the building setba;?
allowed and the fact that buildings obstruct visibility in the same manner as
other obstructions. It is recommended that on a trial basis the Council autho;..'.�
the City Engineer's Office to enforce the ordinance as follows: measure the 3
feet at the curb rather than along the property line.
On motion of Councilman Graves, seconded by Councilman Miller, the f^ ;.owing

14. Mayor Davidson introduced the subject of a possible reduction in the City tax
rate. The Mayor explained the condition of the City's financial system in
' 1961, due to overcoat on the Whale Rock Project. He also explained the
addition of a sewer service charge for the upkeep and construction for the
sewer system. He explained that prior to the addition of the sewer service
charge, the sewer operation was supported from the property tax and for this
reason, Mayor Davidson believed the City should reduce the taxes by the
amount of revenue due to the sewer service charges. He stated this was
actually an addition to the tax burden of the public. He also explained that
the Council increased the water rates in order to build the new water
filtration plant, again that resulted in a tax increase to the property
owners. For this reason, he believed that a reduction in tax rate is
In order to equalize the tax burden of the City's citizens and for t..^ r•.°

encourage new businesses and industry to come to this area. The Mayor
that in discussion with president of a large industry in San Luis Obisp -:,
that he told him that their company will not add to their present.facilit:±as
In San Luis Obispo division due to the unhealthy assessment system in the
City and also to the high cost of City tax rate, water rates and sewer rate..
The Mayor noted that the City of Santa Maria, because of better assessment
procedures and lower tax rates, is getting expansion while San Luis Obispo i.:
not.
Mayor Davidson urged that the Council start a program of tax rate reduction
starting with a substantial reduction at this time and with antics.; zted
increase of the City revenue from other sources, the City program -;ill still
move ahead. He stated that now is the time to start a program of :,ax
reduction.

alternate was suggested inasmuch as he knew planners would be coming in

stabilized at $1.50 for 13 years. There was something to be said for such
planning as contracted with a tax reduction this year and perhaps an increa:;:
next year.

sound financial basis. An example of this is the low rate received for sz:
