John Freeman, Supervisor District 3, appeared before introduced the subject of the necessity'of the�-formation along: San Luis Creek water shed. He continued that he had visited other entities in the w ater shed area to find their feelings regarding the formation of a Flood Contro Flood Control District. Robert Born, County Hydraulic Engineer, reviewed for the problems that occured within the water shed during.heavy He then listed several areas of vital concern that must 1 future rains. the, City 'Council and of:a Flood Control Zone 1 Zone with the County Council some of the flood January and February.rains. >e considered prior to He submitted for the Council's consideration several options open to the City and County in order to form a flood control zone to reduce potential problems in the future. He stated that the City Council and the citizens of the proposed district must consider the level of work to be accomplished and the type of financial arrangements that must be made to improve the streams in the water shed. He also stated that the area to be included in the proposed zone should be considered in order that the magnitude of the development could be considered. He continued that he felt that the simplest entity would be a flood control zone within the County Flood Control District, which had the ability to levy taxes on all properties affected. A zone of this type would also be eligible for Federal funds for repairs by the Corps of Engineers. R. Born suggested that the Council should give some thought to the limits of the zone and the level of improvements to be made to the streams in the water shed. He stated that another method of forming a flood control zone would be the forma- tion of a district including the City and portions of the County through a joint powers agreement for the purpose of flood control with joint management of the City and the County. H. Miossi, property owner outside the City, reviewed for the City Council some of the problems brought about by the heavy rains in January•and February. He objected to the formation of a flood control zone that would include the uphill property owners as he felt that the people in the flood areas should protect themselves. City Council Minutes April 7, 1969 Page 2 Further, he felt that a property tax was the wrong type of tax to pay for flood control as it was unfair to tax everyone in the zone equally. He urged the City Council to discourage the formation of any district which would add to the property owner's tax burden. a B. Barrows, property owner, objected to the formation of a Flood Control Zone as he felt that the proper controls were needed, not a new agency. ' ' B. Leitcher, property owner, stated he felt that most of the problems that occurred in the City during the rainstorms this year were caused by prior t ity Councilmen and City Engineers that did not consider the amount of water that is being dumped into the creeks from the streets and new subdivisions, etc. He urged that better planning might be the answer to the problems. R. Born stated that he had no plan or .proposal to present to the City Council at this time but felt that this was a subject that must be studied in order to avoid future problems. J. Freeman urged that the City Council consider the possibility of forming a Flood Control Zone seriously as he felt that just forgetting it was not an answer. He hoped that the City Council and the County Board of Supervisors could study this problem together. 3. Communication from B. D. Conrad, 2274 Flora Street, regarding flood problems and damages to his home during the January rainstorms and listing "suggestions which might alleviate the problems in the future. D. F. Romero, City Engineer, reported that several of the suggestions made by B. D. Conrad had already been followed and further improvements would be made in the current construction year. The communication was referred to the City Engineer to answer Mr. Conrad regarding City plans and improvements to date. 4. At this time the City Council held a public hearing on the recommendation of the Planning Commission to change the names of three streets. Orcutt Avenue to La Paz Avenue, Orcutt Lane to La Paz Court and Paulson Avenue to Colima Street. R. D. Young, Planning Director, reported on the Planning Commission's action, stating that the streets in question were in an area recently annexed to the City and the Commission felt that the confusion of having an Orcutt Road, Orcutt Avenue and Orcutt Lane should be eliminated and that a new name should be assigned to Orcutt Avenue and Orcutt Lane. Further, the Planning Commission, upon study, found that Paulson Avenue has never been officially named, but refers to a property owner on the street. Mayor Whelchel declared the public hearing 6pen. Phil McMillan, objected to the proposed names for the streets on the basis that there was no historical reason for such a name change and felt that when street names were changed they should be.changed to something of historical significance. He then gave the City Council a brief history of the area. He stated that Paulson Avenue should be named Union Oil Lane as they were the ones who made the road. H. Dixon objected to the proposed name change as he felt that there was no historical significance and urged that the Council delay this matter until the property owners had an opportunity to make a proposal to the Council of suggested names. Mayor Whelchel declared the public hearing closed. Councilman Spring suggested that the matter be continued until the property owners have had an opportunity to make a recommendation. Councilman Blake objected to any delay as he felt that public hearings had been held and the City should proceed with the recommended name changes. City Council Minutes April 7, 1969 Page 3 On motion of Councilman Gallagher, seconded by Councilman Miller, the following resolution was-introduced. Resolution No. 1928; a resolution changing Orcutt Avenue to McMillan Avenue, and Orcutt Lane to Morrision Street. Passed and adopted on the following roll call vote: AYES: Frank Gallagher, Arthur F. Spring, Donald Q. Miller, Clell W. Whelchel NOES: Emmons Blake ABSENT: None On motion of Councilman Miller, seconded by Councilman Gallagher, the following resolution was introduced. Resolution No. 1929, a resolution changin Paulson Avenue to Duncan Road. Passed and adopted on the following roll call vote: AYES: Frank Gallagher, Arthur F. Spring, Donald Q. Miller, Clell W. Whelchel NOES: Emmons Blake ABSENT: None 5. At this time the City Council held a public hearing on the recommendation of the Planning Commission to rezone that property located on Los Osos Road, between Royal Way and Madonna Road extended. Parcel 1: From U (unclassified) to R -O -S (residential office combining) District Parcel 2: From.0 (unclassified) to R =H -S (residential high density combining Parcel 3: From U (unclassified) to R -2 -S (residential medium density combining Parcel 4: From U (unclassified) to R -1 (residential low density) District. R. D. Young, Planning Director, presented the Planning Commission's recommendation as follows: 1. The subject property contains approximately 18 acres and is presently zoned U (unclassified). 2. The applicant has provided a transition zone on the subject property in that a portion of the property contiguous to the existing R -1 subdivision is proposed from U to R -1 and the major portion of the balance of the Royal Way frontage is requested from U to R -2. 3. It was the consensus of the Commission that the requested rezoning was in accordance with the General Plan's recommendation for this general area, however, the Commission was of the opinion that the "S" designation (design control) should be attached to the zoning in order to assure that future development will be compatible with the existing single family subdivision and the future use of adjoining properties. 4. It was also the opinion of the commission that upon such time as a final subdivision is recorded the-applicant could request, that the "S" designation on portions of the property be removed. Mayor Whelchel declared the public hearing open. Lou Wical, real estate salesman, appeared before the City Council on behalf of the recommended rezoning. Mayor Whelchel declared the public hearing closed. On motion of Councilman Blake, seconded by Councilman Spring, the following ordi- nance was introduced. Ordinance No. 449, an ordinance rezoning property located between Los Osos Road, Royal Way and Madonna Road extended from U to R -1, R -2 -S, R -H -S and R -O -S. 1 1 City Council Minutes April 7, 1969 Page 4 Passed to print on the following roll call vote: AYES: Emmons Blake, Frank Gallagher, Arthur F. Spring, Donald Q. Miller, Clell W. Whelchel NOES: None ABSENT: None 1 6. Communication from Catherine Vergauwen, 440 Higuera Street, requesting relief from a high water bill for water she claimed she did not use. E. P. Thompson, Director Water Department, presented the results of four service calls for this property stating that the meter was in proper working order and that the water had passed through the meter to the property and that the pro- perty owner was liable for the bill. C. Vergauwen appeared before the City Council stating that she did not feel that much water could have been used and that some adjustment should be made on her bill. On motion of Councilman Miller, seconded by Councilman Gallagher, the bill was adjusted to $9.00 Motion carried. 7. Clay Davidson, representing the City Community Center Feasibility.Committee, . appeared before the City Council presenting a proposal for development of a Civic and Fine Arts Building at no cost to the City. The proposal is as follows. He proposed that the City lease the 23 acres of land being bought from the school district on Madonna Road to be developed for commercial and R -3 uses. The develop- ment would include a community center and enough area for future development. The developer would then build a large hotel -motel and restaurant adjacent to the com- munity center and would lease the community center back to the City for a nominal ' sum. The land would be leased to the developer for a set period of time. He urged the City Council to proceed with this proposal. W. Owens appeared before the City Council objecting to the proposal made by the. City Community Center Feasibility Committee for development of a convention center on Madonna Road on City owned property which is being acquired from the school district. He objected on the basis that funds for acquiring the land from the school district could have been used for the acquisition and development of the South Side Park. He asked that a public hearing be held before any decision is made on the proposal to build a community center. C. Davidson appeared before the City Council proposing that the City Council go ahead with the lease arrangement and that a five man Citizen's Committee be appointed to supervise the preparation of bids for the development, as proposed, for the Madonna Road site. Mrs. Marian Sinsheimer, Park and Recreation Commissioner, asked where in the development plan were there any provisions for public recreation without a fee. C. Davidson stated that there were no plans for free recreation at this time; in fact, there were no plans for the center. The City Council discussed the proposal with Mr. Davidson for a community center ' on Madonna Road. Mayor Whelchel suggested that this matter be set for a future public hearing for full disclosure to the public on the proposal. Mayor Whelchel's suggestion was accepted. 8. Communication from the Park and Recreation Commission forwarding the following recommendation concerning the use of City owned property designated as parks.. City Council Minutes April 7, 1969 Page 5 WHEREAS the City of San Luis Obispo is in control of certain properties both within and outside the City limits, and WHEREAS these properties are so designated as "Park" in the City master plan, and WHEREAS the Park and Recreation Commission is unanimiously dedicated to the preservation of "open space" within their sphere of influence: WE, the Park and Recreation Commission, strongly recommend that the City - Council pass an ordinance: a. To maintain "Parks" for recreational use by residents and visitors to the City of San Luis Obispo. b. To construct only such structures in park areas as pertain to the recreational needs of the entire citizenry. c. To allow NO commercial encroachment onto park lands. On motion of Councilman Blake, seconded by Councilman Spring, that the proposal made by the City Community Center Feasibility.Committee and the resolution of the Park and Recreation Commission be continued and that the Council hold a special public meeting for discussion. Motion carried. Councilman Miller, voting no. 9. B. Idler, Chairman of the Chamber of Commerce Flea Market promotion, appeared before the City Council asking that the Council reconsider their decision in not allowing the closing of Higuera Street from Chorro to Broad Street to hold the flea market. He stated that the reason for the requested reconsideration is the need for additional space for booths as ^the Mission Plaza area approved by the Council would only handle 88 spaces and they feel from the response to date they will need at least 200 spaces for out -of -town vendors. Therefore the downtown merchants request that the City Council grant permission to use Monterey from ' Chorro to Broad and Higuera from Chorro to Broad for the flea market promotion. He continued that he felt that the flea market promotion would bring in many new visitors to downtown San Luis Obispo. Mayor Whelchel:,stated that he was still opposed to closing of Higuera Street for a flea market promotion and suggested that the merchants use City Parking Lot #2 and the Crocker Bank parking lot on Marsh Street for this promotion. B. Idler stated that the parking lots were needed for the vendors to park their cars, as no parking would be allowed on Higuera Street on that day. Councilman Blake stated that he would support the closing of Higuera Street for one day as he felt it was a good promotion for-the City and would help the down- town area. On motion of Councilman Blake, seconded by Councilman Gallagher, that Higuera Street between Chorro and Broad be closed for the flea market and that the Mission Plaza area also be included in the promotion. Motion carried on the following roll call vote: AYES: Emmons Blake, Frank Gallagher, Donald Q. Miller, NOES: Arthur F. Spring, Clell W. Whelchel ABSENT: None C. Davidson objected to the closing of Higuera Street between Chorro and Broad as it would take traffic off Higuera Street in front of his store and he felt that the promotion was not a proper one for downtown San Luis Obispo. R.-Neal, President of the Chamber of Commerce appeared before the City Council on behalf of the request of the Retail Merchants to close Higuera Street and thanked the Council for their support of the promotion. City Council Minutes April 7, 1969 Page 6 E. Nyland, Western Auto Associates, thanked the City Council for approving the request to close Higuera Street for the flea market promotion. 10. Traffic Committee Report of March 20, 1969. 69 -4 -1C In accordance with Council instructions, the Police Department has made a study of pedestrian crossings on Madonna Road in the vicinity of the Pereira Road intersection. The study shows a heavy concentration of school children crossing Madonna Road at this location, particularly during the afternoon hours. We therefore feel that a crosswalk and school crossing guard are warranted and recommend that the crosswalk be installed east of Pereira and that a crossing guard be hired as soon as possible. (We also recommend that the present 45 mile per hour speed limit on "Madonna Road be reduced to 35 miles per hour extending from Los Osos Road in an easterly direction for about 700 feet. 69 -4 -2T Some time ago the Traffic Committee decided to make the following recom- mendation to the City Council, but inadvertently, the Council was not so advised. It is recommended that the present stop sign stopping southbound traffic on North Broad at Monterey Street be removed and that westbound traffic on Monterey Street leaving the Mission Plaza area be stopped at North Broad. 69 -4 -5T Tt.has been suggested to the Traffic Committee that right hand turning movements for southbound motorists on Osos turning onto Pismo would be facilitated if the -last two car spaces were eliminated. We concur and recommend that a red zone be installed on the west side of Osos extending 60 feet in a northerly direc- tion from Pismo. 69 -4 -6T Businessmen in the Santa Barbara - Roundhouse Avenue area have pointed out a hazardous traffic condition which prevails in that location, largely due to the presence of the County garage and the congested parking conditions aggravated by the sizeable number of County employees working out of that location. After looking at the situation, we feel that movements would be somewhat improved if the curbing between the GE appliance center and the Brooks Woodcraft establishment and between Brooks and the County garage were painted red. We concur and so recommend. 69 -4 -7T The Traffic Committee has noted another parking and traffic problem ag- gravated by the presence of large numbers of vehicles owned by County employees. The location is the west side of Osos Street north of the driveway ramp. into the new telephone company building. We feel that a solution would be installation of a two -hour time limit zone north of the driveway and extending to Peach Street and we so recommend. 69 -4 -11T The Traffic Committee has received a request for a bus loading zone in front of the Calvary Baptist Church at 51 Foothill Boulevard. We feel that such a request is justified and recommend that a white passenger loading zone 40 feet in length be installed. However, we also recommend that a letter be addressed to the Church advising them that this zone may have to be removed in the future should traffic build up to the point where such a zone could no longer be-justi- fied. 69 -4 -3T The City Engineer has suggested that he be given blanket authority to install red no parking zones where, in his opinion, parked vehicles could interfere with storm water flows into catch basins. We feel that this is advisable and so recommend. On motion of Councilman Miller, seconded by Councilman Gallagher, the following resolution was introduced. Resolution No. 1931, a resolution rescinding a stop sign on Broad Street; establishing no parking zones on Osos Street and on Santa Barbara Street; establishing a limited time zone on Osos Street; establishing a passenger loading zone on Foothill Boulevard; and granting authority to the City Engineer to install no parking zones at storm drainage catch basins. Passed and adopted on the following roll call vote: AYES: Emmons Blake, Frank Gallagher, Arthur F. Spring, Donald Q. Miller, Clell W. Whelchel NOES: None ABSENT: None City Council Minutes April 7, 1969 Page 7 69 -4 -4T For the second time in several months, it has been suggested to the . Traffic Committee that an additional street light be installed at the extreme easterly dead end of Higuera Street near Grove. While this is a very short block, we feel that the area could have problems if adequate lighting were not present, and we therefore recommend that the City Engineer be authorized to order such an installation. 69 -4 -8T The Traffic Committee has received complaints concerning inadequate lighting in the block of Peach Street between Chorro and Broad, and we recom- mend that an additional light be installed in mid- block. 69 -4 -9C The Traffic Committee has looked at the proposed sidewalk installation on California in front of the California Market. We feel that, since the market already has some sidewalk in front of the market, that two additional feet of sidewalk would be sufficient. The owner of the market has agreed to install parking stalls at a 90 degree angle to California Blvd. and to enter into an agreement running with the land that, at any time the present store building or other structure were extended toward California, a standard sidewalk would be installed. We recommend that this proposal be approved. The recommendations of the Traffic Committee were approved on motion of Councilman Miller, seconded by Councilman Gallagher. Motion carried. 69 -4 -1OT The Traffic Committee has learned that the Division of Highways-will not approve the aluminum electroliers planned for the center island on Santa Rosa Street north of Oak Street but will go along with galvanized electroliers in the sidewalk areas. We so recommend. We are hopeful that, by the time of the next Council meeting, Mr. Romero will have comparative figures on the cost of overhead and underground lighting so that the Council can consider the possibility of an underground installation. On motion of Councilman Blake, seconded by Councilman Gallagher, that the City Engineer install lights at Meinecke and Boysen on temporary poles with the balance of the installation to be underground. Motion carried. 69 -4 -12T The Traffic Committee has received another request for a small two - hour time limit zone, this time in front of the A. M. Fellows residence at 208 Hathway. If this request were approved, this would add just one more scattered zone for the Police Department to enforce. The Traffic Committee feels, as an alternate, that an overall proposal be considered to install two -hour zones over a broad area surrounding the Cal Poly campus. This would not only ease parking conditions for residents in the area, but it would also improve traffic flows for everyone travelling these streets. It is therefore suggested that the City Clerk be authorized to send out a questionnaire to property owners and residents of the following streets asking them if they would object to two -hour time limit parking. The affected streets would be as follows: Both sides of Monte Vista from California easterly. Both sides of Carpenter from Foothill to Hathway. Both sides of Foothill from California easterly. Both sides of Hathway from Bond to Kentucky. Both sides of Orange from Bond to Hathway. The recommendation was approved and the City Clerk was authorized to make the necessary survey. 24. Communication from the Chief Building Inspector requesting that additional spaces be given to the contractor building the addition to the telephone building, in the City Hall parking lot. The extra space is needed for the heavy equipment lifting materials to the new addition. He recommended that five spaces be given to the contractor. M. Maino, representing the contractor, stated he felt that he would only need three additional spaces; two behind the City Hall and one in the next row. Also, he would still like to-use the barricades as he felt that a permanent fence would be too difficult to maintain. He stated that as soon.as the concrete work is completed, the spaces would not be needed. City:.Council Minutes April 7, 1969 Page 8 J. Kellerman, Chief Building Inspector, urged that a permanent fence be constructed to protect the contractor and also to avoid the constant changing of the barricades that is going on at the present time. R. D. Miller, Administrative Officer, stated that he recommended no changes in the barricade arrangement as he felt that the contractor has been cooperative. On motion of Councilman Spring, seconded by Councilman Blake, that the additional spaces be approved and that the contractor be allowed-to use barricades as sug- gested. Motion carried. 20. D. F. Romero, City.Engineer, presented to the City Council his preliminary report and cost estimate for a street assessment district for Brook and South Streets including curb, gutter and sidewalk. He estimated that it would cost $20,000 to install the improvements. D. F. Romero asked that prior to preparing the petitions he would like some guid- ance from the City Council on the following terms. 1. Would.the•City contribute to the cost of the improvements? 2. Would the City pay for the engineering of the project? 3. Would the City finance the project rather than sell bonds? 4. Would the City wish to hire a bond-attorney to handle the project? 5. What percent sign up would the Council desire on the petitions? After discussion by the Council the following decisions were made. 1. The City would not contribute to the cost of construction. 2. The City would pay for the cost of engineering for the project. 3. The City would finance through the 1911 Act with three years to pay with - 3% per year. 4. The City would not retain a bond attorney. 5. A minimum 60% sign up would be required. H. Johnson, City Attorney, explained to the City Council financing methods for the proposed assessment district on Brook Street and South Street. The matter was referred to the City Engineer to notify each property owner re- garding the proposed assessment district and the cost, and to circulate the peti- tion after checking with the City Attorney. Sidewalks were not to be included on Brook Street. 22. Communication from the Department of Public Health, County of San Luis Obispo, forwarding a petition signed by property owners on Edna Road requesting annexation to the City. H. Johnson, City Attorney, pointed out that the annexation could be reduced in size slightly to avoid the necessityiiof an election for 12 voters. He suggested that the boundary line be from Orcutt Road east to the northerly boundary line of Giant Food. Once this area has been annexed, the area beyond could then be annexed. On motion of Councilman Spring, seconded by Councilman Gallagher, amended boundaries suggested by City Attorney were approved and the following resolution was in- troduced. Resolution No. 1932, a resolution of application of the City of San Luis Obispo to the San Luis Obispo County local agency formation commission rela- tive to a proposal to annex territory to the City of San Luis Obispo designated "Edna Road No. 2!"

Taylor, Landscape Architect, explaining his fee for the.addition to the Mission Plaza Plan to include that protion of Monterey Street acquired for the Plaza. H. Johnson, City Attorney, explained the fee structure for professional services and suggested that the straight percentage fee be approved since it would apparently be less expensive than paying for the services on an hourly basis. On. motion of Councilman Blake, seconded by Councilman Gallagher, the Mayor was authorized to sign a letter notifying Mr. Taylor of the City's acceptance of his fee. 17. Communication from Joseph S. Lewis, 1333 Carmel Street, regarding loose and unlicensed dogs in the City was referred to the Woods Animal Shelter for a report on animal control, on motion of Councilman Blake, seconded by Councilman Gallagher. 29.
