1. Mr. C. Walter Lerette, Manager of Security First National Bank, appeared f:
before the Council requesting that the Council allow a forty five (45)
foot wide driveway instead of a thirty two (32) foot driveway on Osos
Street at the entrance to the bank's parking lot. He stated that he hoped
the City Council would allow this until a better solution was found.
City Engineer Romero stated that the Public Works Department had designed
a revision to the bank parking lot and had submitted it to the bank manager
about a year ago. This revision called for access and egress off of Marsh
Street near the bank building and in his opinion would substantially improve
the traffic congestion on Osos Street. Mr. Romero stated that in his
opinion, the revision proposed by the bank would probably improve bank
circulation but would have little effect on street congestion.
Councilman Gallagher suggested that the.bank make the entrance to the lot
from Marsh and exit onto Osos Street, which would eliminate congestion.
Councilman Spring objected to the proposal of the bank due to congestion
caused by cars leaving the lot and making a left turn around traffic which
makes Osos traffic line up over on Marsh Street.
Police Chief Schofield stated the existing lot access caused congestion
problems on Osos Street which is extremely dangerous.

Mr. Lerette.stated his bank management objected to access from
Marsh Street as they would need two attendants to control the parking
lot.
On motion of Mayor Whelchel, seconded by Councilman Miller, Permission
was granted for a forty five (45) foot driveway on Osos Street on
the condition that the bank attempt to make a better approach to the
bank parking lot. Motion carried, Councilmen Spring and Gallagher
voting no.
13 Mayor Whelchel stated that the Council, in informal discussion, felt
that the proposed Route 5A for Highway No. 1 through Los Osos Valley
tp,Marsh.Street interchange would be the best route, but that anyone
who wished to bring anything to the Council's attention would be
given the opportunity to do so.
Ed Rodrigues appeared before the Council urging that the Council adopt
Route 1 -A (Broad Street) for the new route of Highway No. 1 through
the City, as he felt this route would be the most advantageous to the
City of San Luis Obispo. Mr Rodrigues presented a map of the City
showing his interpretation of traffic needs of the future and the
advisability of approving Route 1-A,, Broad Street, for Highway
No. 1 Freeway .
Mayor Whelchel ordered this item continued utitil the schedule public
hearing had been held.
3 At this time-the City Council held a public hearing on the recommendation
of the Planning Commission to rezone Yoakum Poultry Units from U to R -11
R -2 and C-3_
Mayor Whelchel declared the public hearing open.
The following communication was received from the Planning Commission;
Yoa�aomliu�ractN�ie 75-65 5f from U ton , R 2.sandnC -3 S,masdshownton the
the
attached map. Initiated by the Planning Commission.
This area has been under study by the Planning Commission for a
number of years, but they did not feel that the zoning Ordinance had an
appropriate district to allow for equitable development of the long,
narrow lots. The recent changes to the R districts adopted by the City
Council provide appropriate designations and the Commission, at the urging
of local residents, gave the rezoning of this area high priority. The
proposed districts were arrived at after a number of meetings with the
local people and appears to be generally satisfactory to those concerned.
Therefore, the Commission recommends that the City Council adopt the
rezoning proposed.°
1
Planning Director Chapman presented a sketch showing the changes recommended
by the Planning Oommission to rezone the area under discussion.
Mr. Grundell, Attorney, appeared before the Council requesting that the
boundary line between the R 2 and C -3-S line be pushed back toward
Rockview Place, in order that the flat area would all be commercial, as it
could not be developed as one unit if it was split between residential and
commercial. uses.
Mr. Hoover urged that the plan be adopted as presented and recommended
by the Planning Commission,
Mayor Whelchel declared the public hearing closed.
Mr Grundell stated that his client would like to use the entire area
that is flat for commercial development and the steep rear area be
developed as residential, facing Rockview Place.
City Council Minutes
July 6, 1965
Page -3-
Mr. Chapman, upon question, stated he would not recommend any commercial
rezoning on Rockview Place due to the narrowness of Rockview Place for
.commercial traffic. He also felt Rockview Place could be developed into
a residential area..
Councilman Blake explained the requirements in the Zoning Ordinance dealing
with non - conforming uses..
City Council discussed what the development could be on the property in
question, proposed for zoning to R -.2 due to its extremely steep slope from
-Rockview Place towards Broad Street.
Mr. Grundell stated his client asked that the C -3 -S line be moved twenty
(20) feet towards Rockview Place to take advantage of the flat land facing
Broad Street.
Councilman Miller left the Council room.
On motion of Councilman Spring, seconded by Councilman Gallagher, that the
map be accepted and move the C -3 -S line west twenty (20) feet on Lot #24.
Motion carried.
On motion of Councilman Blake, seconded by Councilman Gallagher, the follow-
ing ordinance was introduced. Ordinance No. 316, an ordinance rezoning
Yoakum Tract from U to R -1, R -2, and C -3 -S.
Introduced and passed to print on the following -roll call vote:
AYES: Emmons Blake, Frank Gallagher,
Arthur F. Spring, Clell W. Whelchel
NOES: None
ABSENT: Donald Q . Miller
Councilman Miller resumed his seat.
13. (Continued)
Mayor Whelchel reminded the people present that the prior Council voted
4 to 1 to eliminate Route 1 -A or Broad Street from consideration.
Mr. Rodrigues continued that the question before the Council this evening is
who should pay for the new streets needed for future traffic. (1) should
we allow the City taxpayers to pay for all the street widening or, (2) should
we allow the state to build a freeway using gas tax moneys and not local tax
moneys.
Mrs. Steiner appeared before the City Council urging that -the Council consider
urging the re- routing of Highway No. 1 along the ocean to Avila and not
through the City.
Dr. Mullin stated that the matter of Route 1 -A had been settled by the
Council and hoped that the City would continue to widen City streets as they
are presently doing.
Art Blackwell stated he felt that Route 5 -A to Marsh Street interchange
would solve the most problems for the City and would not injure development
now or contemplated in the Laguna area.
Archie Lux appeared before the Council presenting arguments against the
development of a highway route along Broad Street or proposed Route 1 -A.
He felt that proposed Route 5 -A through Los Osos Valley to the Marsh Street
interchange was the best for the City.

He then touched upon the fact that when a freeway is built., not
- " ' - 7
only are people moved out'. but that properties adjacent`'-to
arecUecreasdd in value and become poorly maintained.
Irving Kogan urged all this information regarding the routes within
the City has been well discussed and urged that the 0ouncil only hear
new information regarding routing and not the same presentations
again..

e
If anybody desired to call upon us or our tenants during the day they would
have to park practically a block away. Our tenant at 1738 Johnson Avenue
has called us and is very much disturbed about this proposal which would
prevent anybody from parking in front of that house. It would also effect
the residential value of three homes south of us toward Lizzie Street.
We do not wish to restrict the development and the progress of the City
of San Luis Obispo. We know that changes and certain restrictions may come
about in due time, but we do not feel that the residential value of our
home should be destroyed to the extent that this proposed restriction
contemplates.
We do not object to any restrictions in front of Mrs. Bilodeau's home.
This is- something which concerns her. She has ample room for parking back
of her property and would cause her no inconvenience. But the homes south
of her property to Lizzie Street would be placed at a great disadvantage.
We oppose this restriction of parking in front of our property and we hope
that you will give our position sympathetic consideration."
Mrs. Bilodeau stated that the'Traffic Committee recommendation did not do as
she requested as all she asked was that the parking be prohibited in front
of her house and in front of the Chase property and no where else.
Mrs. McQuaid, 1746 Johnson Avenue, stated that she did not want to restrict
parking in front of their property on Johnson Avenue.
City Enzineer Romero stated that traffic congestion was developing to such
an extent that in his opinion it was desirable to, restrict parking on both
sides of Johnson between Lizzie Street and the Three Corner Grocery, but
that this step was not warranted until the start of school in the fall.
Councilman Miller agreed with Mrs. Bilodeau, stating that all she had
requested was the prohibition of parking in front of her property and
Mr. Chase's property and he suggested that the other properties be left
as is.
On motion of Councilman Blake, seconded by Councilman Miller, the following
resolution was introduced. Resolution No. 1450, a resolution establishing
a no parking zone on Johnson Avenue.
Passed and adopted on the following roll call vote:
AYES: Emmons Blake, Donald Q. Miller, Frank Gallagher,
Arthur F. Spring, Clell W. Whelchel
NOES: None
ABSENT: None
13. (Continued)
Mr. Harold Carr urged the adoption by the. Council of proposed Route 5 -A
and eliminate further consideration of Route l -A or Broad Street.
Mrs. Irwin asked the City Council to publish Mrs. Gallock's letter in the
paper so that everyone could read the points made.
Miss Maxwell asked that the City Council not consider any freeway route
through the City, but put in Los Osos Valley area where it belongs and she
felt would cause the least difficulty to the property owners and taxpayers.
City Ensineer Romero made a lengthy presentation pointing out the City's
traffic problems and the benefits which would be derived from freeway
routing either within the City or bypassing the City. He explained that from
a strictly engineering standpoint, the lA Route would provide the greatest
traffic benefit. He discussed several deficiencies in the State's method of

analysis of the benefit cost ratio. Intaking these into account,
as well as loss of tax valuation.9 disruption of homes,, and traffic
benefits beyond the study period ending in 1985, he recommended
that Rbute5A beadopted.

"Relative to our discussion regarding the improvement of San Luis Drive.
The Superintendent has requested that I contact you and request the City
of San Luis Obispo to submit its proposal concerning this improvement.
Said improvement, of course, will be contingent upon the movement of the
maintenance facility and the demolition of'existing buildings."
City Engineer Romero explained that his office had prepared property
.acquisition sketches and descriptions in accordance with the adopted
setback line and had partially designed curb grades for this portion of
street, however due to the pressure of other work this summer, his office
would be unable to complete construction plans or prepare detailed estimates
a
at this time.
Dr. Notley stated he was most interested in the street grade and right of
way of San Luis Drive.
Administrative Officer Miller said there were no funds in the budget for
this; and cost could run as high as $40,000 or $50,000.
On motion of Councilman Miller; seconded by Councilman Blake; the City
staff is to meet with School District representatives to determine proper
alignment of San Luis Drive and report back to the City Council. Motion
carried.
25. City Engineer Romero reported on meeting in which a 6' strip of land owned
by Mr. Blaser alongside the Nazarene Church property was discussed with
representatives of the Church and Mr. Blaser.
The following conclusions were reached as a result of the meeting:
"1. Mr. Blaser is willing to sell the 6' strip to either the City or the
Church, although he has not set a figure.
2. The Church is not willing to buy the 6' strip and may or may not accept
it as a gift, aince the ownership of this property requires the installation
of curb, gutter and sidewalk, and reimbursement to the City for water line
costs.
3. Mr. Blaser is convinced that the driveway access to the Church cannot
be expanded from the former residential use to a Church use. The Church
is convinced that it can.
4. Both the Church and Mr. Blaser agree there is a serious question
whether the present access rights can be expanded to permit a second
driveway as shown.on the plot plan'and approved by the Planning Commission."
John Smee, representing the Church of the Nazarene, presented the background
of how the 6 foot strip came into existence,`and its present status as far
as the Church is concerned.
Mr. Smee continued that the Church would be willing to.put in curb, gutter
and sidewalk and water extension if the matter of the ownership of the 6'
strip is cleared up.
Mr. Leonard Blaser then presented his -view as to the ownership and existence
of the 6' strip along Southwood Drive.
The City Council discussed the propriety of the Planning Commission requiring
the Church to place curb, gutter and sidewalk improvements along the 6'
strip on Southwood Drive that they did not own.
City Engineer Romero explained the Planning Commission's reason in granting
the use permit with the requirement of placing curb, gutter and sidewalk
improvements along Southwood Drive.

It would appear that alh of the engineering'a'ctivitf')lanned, including
removal of a few trees, re-alignment of the creek, installation of a
protective structure for the present city sewer which= angles dcross my
property, placing a slope protection for the culvert inlet and the
necessary acquisition of a triangular parcel of land to align_" and-.the
extension.arercentered in the westerly 113 of the acre which I own at the
Sincethis 1/3 acre lies contiguous to both school property and the City
park property and constitutes a most charming,` setting with•�a- ianning
stream and grove o. es., I am forced -to'my original conclusion that it
would reman'in "sta.tiis quo. I therefore offer to convey title to the
City on this parcel, which may run around 80 ft. of street f rontage and
.200, ft in de the sum of One Dollar (41.00)`''
j... __ ..
In return for- this •consideration, I propose that tki6 City' 'render me
forgiveness on the two improvement liens currently against the property,
"'i; :e:, Johnson Aeeriue Sewer District (' 286A-)�.dhd --1 dhard Street`• =°

you of the status regarding -future -baiaricesr' -to tie paid: =`- Taxes: -are

It would seem the above proposal, if favorably received, would make
possible immedi'ate=`sta`rt ori-'ttie streetextens on program, which I under-
stand is slated for compietion. prior- to'tte''opening:of• school this fall.
No City funds need be drawn upon, other than the possible cost of title
insurance for the deed. And all engineering work to =be done :will be
confined, in effect, to City property.
A minor, portion of the property still retained by me would be subject to
"as sessment._for_si dewalk "_and curB''improvement, _under :she existing plan given
