The Council received a communication from the Planning Commission agreeing with the League of Women Voters that department heads should be included in budget study sessions which concern their departments. Councilman Gurnee felt that the department heads should attend the study hearings involving their portions of the budget so they might offer input into the budget deliberations. Councilman Graham felt the City Council should leave the door open so that department heads could attend if they so desired. The balance of the City Council did not feel that any change in the present method was necessary. The City Clerk was asked to write to the Planning Commission stating that the City Council wished to leave the door open on this matter, in other words, if the Council wished to have a particular department head or heads attend a budget session, they would so indicate. On motion of Councilman Blake, seconded by Councilman Brown,.the consent items were approved as indicated. Motion carried. Councilman Blake introduced Pbro.

Henry Case, Engineer for the State Division of Highways, presented for the Council's information, a preliminary study prepared by the Division of Highways to modify the Los Osos Valley Road interchange at Hi.ghway 101. to Higuera Street at the connection of Buckley Road as shown on the City's master streets and highways plan. He explained the type of modificaitons to be made to the structure and to the various connections. He concluded by saying that this was only a preliminary presentation for the Council and that no action was being requested, but this was just for the Council's information. The report was received and filed by the City Council and held for future study. 4. The City Clerk presented his certificate that the referendum petition opposing the adoption of RESOLUTION NO. 2276, a resolution approving the annexation of territory designated as "Danley Annexation ", was sufficient in that over 10% of the registered voters on April 5, 1972 had signed the petition. A. J. Shaw, City Attorney, explained the options open to the City Council at this point: (1) rescind the resolution; (2).order a special election; or (3) continue to the next regular election with the permission of the applicants involved. He concluded by stating that the earliest date the special election could be held would be June 20, 1972. Mayor Schwartz asked if any of the Councilmen wished to change his vote in order to rescind the resolution. Councilman Blake did not wish to change his vote. Councilman Brown stated he did not wish to change his vote. He felt the people-in the City should be allowed to vote on this annexation issue. Councilman Graham did not wish to change his vote as he felt the City should hold a special election. Mayor Schwartz stated that based on the comments of the City Attorney, the Council should set an election date. Darold Cook, attorney for W. A. Danley, the developer, urged the City Council to set an election date as soon as possible on this issue. On motion of Councilman Brown, seconded by Councilman Graham, the follow - ign resolution was introduced. RESOLUTION NO. 2309; a resolution of the Council of the City of San Luis Obispo, giving notice of a special municipal election to be held Tuesday, June 20, 1972, to hold a referendum upon the Danley Annexation and to vote upon a proposed Charter Amendment authorizing consolidation of Library services.

Schwartz NOES: None ABSENT: None 1 City Council Minutes April 17, 1972 Page 6 5. The Tree Committee reported on the requested exceptions to the street tree planting on Monterey Street as follows: That a tree be planted as proposed in front of the Silent Woman Restaurant at 1920 Monterey; that two trees.to be planted in front,--6f:-the Sands Motel at 1930 Monterey, be relocated behind the sidewalk area; that two trees to be planted near the Villa San Luis at 1670 Monterey be relocated behind the sidewalk in planters; that trees to'be planted in front of the Sunbeam ' Motel at 1656 Monterey be planted in back of the sidewalk. In all cases, they.recommended that the City Attorney arrange the necessary easements. D. F. Romero, City Engineer, stated.he noted the sidewalks in this area northeast of the Southern Pacific Railroad crossing were generally seven feet in width with some areas only 6 feet and he felt placing trees on the narrow sidewalks would hamper pedestrian traffic in the area. The City Council approved the recommendations of the Tree Committee. 6. The City Council received a communication from the Mechanical Engineering Department at Cal Poly asking that the City Council contribute an old abandoned street roller to the MechanicaliEh.gineering Department to be used for a student project. Mayor Schwartz left the Council table due to a possible conflict of interest with the matter involving Cal Poly. . D. F. Romero, City Engineer, stated this particular.street roller was quite old and had not been used by the City for many years. He felt it could be donated as no one else would want the vehicle. A. J. Shaw, City Attorney, stated that the City Council could give away or donate surplus equipment to educational institutions if the Council found that the donation was for both a public purpose and a municipal purpose. The Council so found. On motion of Councilman Gurnee, seconded by Councilman Graham, that the City dispose of the roller and give it to Cal Poly. Motion carried with Mayor Schwartz absent. Mayor Schwartz returned to the meeting. 7. At this time the City Council held a public hearing on.the.appeal of Larry Flagg from a denial by the Planning Commission of his request to rezone property in the 1600 block of Pereira.Drive from R -1 to PD R -2 in order to construct 35 apartments. R. D. Young, Planning Director, presented the recommendations of the Planning Commission as follows: 1. The subject property is approximately 74,600 sq. ft. in area and is presently zone R -1. The applicant is requesting PD.R -2 zoning on the subject property. -In order to.'construct 12 studio apartments ' .and 23.one- bedroom apartments. 2. The gross density of the proposed development is one dwelling unit for each 2,130 sq. ft. of Land area. This represents an increase of 8 units over R 72 zoning. 3. The Planning Commission was of the opinion there is presently adequate vacant high density zoned property in the area; the proposed density is too high; there are presently water problems existing in the area that should be solved before.further increase in density is permitted. City Council Minutes April 17, 1972 Page 7 Mayor Schwartz declared the public hearing open. Larry Flagg, developer, stated that he felt the Planning Commission was wrong in denying his requested use of the property and he further felt that the Planning Commission was wrong in not following the recommendation and advice of the Planning Director and City Engineer who both recommended approval of this rezoning. He also felt that one reason given by the Planning Commission, that of the lack of .water to serve this area, was not a logical reason for denying zoning as he did not feel the lack of water was the developer's fault but was the responsibility of the City. He felt the proposed density would not be much more than R -1 as the adjacent property was presently developed.. Jim Bourne, 1695 Royal Way, opposed the proposed development on the basis of the lack of water and the increased traffic that would be generated by this apartment development.. Mrs. Ruth Minton, 1746 Pereira Drive, opposed the high density proposed as she felt that the traffic was generally heavy and fast and additional problems brought in by this development would be intolerable. Dorothy Rible, 1356 Avalon, opposed the apartment complex on the basis of lack of water service in the area and she further felt that the City's latest attempt to supply water by increasing water pressure was a disaster for the residents of the Laguna Lake area. She felt the density proposed was too high for an R -1 zoned area. I.van Dron, 1656 Pereira Drive, objected to the proposed use as he felt this area was zoned R -1, was developed R -1 and should be kept that way. Larry Flagg assured the City Council that this development would en- hance the area and that he planned a very attractive apartment complex. Mayor Schwartz declared the public heai-ing closed. D. F. Romero, City Engineer, explained that the Flagg development would represent 1w� of the Valley's total population and would not present a heavy burden on the City water system. He then stated that if the City Council would allow the installation of the interim water plans he had developed for this area during the next summer, water service would be satisfactory for a number of years. Councilman Graham asked if this development would add to the critical water shortage in the Valley. 1. D. F. Romero felt it would not add to the water problems as all water service .in the Los.Osos Valley was already critical. Councilman Blake asked who installed the existing water lines in the Los Osos Valley. D. F. Romero answered that the lines were placed by the various develop- ers with sizes recommended by the City and excess capacity paid for by the City. A. J. Shaw, City Attorney, did not feel that the City Council in dis- cussing the rezoning matter should discuss the matter of overages or shortages of apartments in the City or the water services as the basis for denial for one development unless the City Council was ready to declare an emergency in this area with no one being allowed to build or develop. He continued that the City Council should and could discuss density, the R -1 requirements, potential traffic increases, no access to the development for the Fire Department and conformance with the General Plan. R. D. Younq, Planning Director, stated that there were about sixty acres zoned R -2 or higher in the general area. 1 1 1 City Council Minutes April 17,.1972 Page 8 A. J. Shaw, City Attorney, stated that the existence of sufficient R -2 land nearby could certainly be considered. ' Mayor Schwartz felt the City Council's action should consider whether the development was consistent with the General Plan, was the Council satis- fied that the proposed planned development was of good design; was the Council satisfied with the density in the proposed development and was ' the Council satisfied with the traffic and parking proposed in the development? He also felt the Council should consider how much R -2 and higher density zoning was needed in this general area. Councilman Brown reviewed the history of this development and stated he felt the use should remian R -1 and that the City Council should support the Planning Commission on the basis of density and traffic.. Councilman Graham agreed with Councilman Brown that the area should remain R -1. Councilman Gurnee agreed that the planned development design was good but felt that the development was proposed for the wrong place. He agreed with Councilmen Graham and Brown that the area should remain R -1. He stated he would vote to deny the appeal on the basis of density. Councilman Blake felt the density was too high with 35 units but felt the density would be better in the range of 13. to 17 units which would be acceptable to him. He felt a new design was needed and supported the Planning Commission in denying the appeal. Mayor Schwartz agreed with the other Councilmen as he felt that the density was too high for the area and also there seemed to be an excess of high density zoning in the area which was out of proportion to the ' development, and the adjoining PD R -2 was specially granted by the City to this same developer. He should not now be allowed to use that grant as the basis for additional zoning changes. On motion of Councilman Gurnee, seconded by Councilman Graham, that the City Council deny the appeal of Larry Flagg on the basis. that the pro- posed development was of too high a density and was not in conformance with the General Plan and that the Council wished to maintain the residential character of the neighborhood. Motion carried. 8. At this time the City Council held a public hearing on the recommendations of the Traffic Committee to eliminate parking on the east side of Grand Avenue south of Hays Street and.that the curbing be painted red to the second driveway. Mayor Schwartz declared the public hearing open. Mrs. L. W. Zanetti, property owner, appeared before the City Council objecting to the City Council painting the curb in front of her property with a red zone which would prohibit parking for.her tenants and their guests. She continued,it was not fair to take her parking from.the front of her property when everyone else on Grand Avenue was allowed to park in front of their homes. She felt it was unfair and hoped that the City Council would rescind their action. ' Pat McConaghy, 250 Grand Avenue, objected to the red zone in front of his house as he felt this was not fair to pick just.this one portion of Grand Avenue and limit on- street parking at these two properties. Anna Dolan, 166 Henderson, thanked the City Council for painting the curb red at this portion of Grand Avenue for the safety of motorists. turning onto Grand Avenue. She continued that the visibility was so obstructed by parked cars, station wagons, trucks and campers,.that it .was hazardous to make a right hand turn from Hays Street onto Grand Avenue and was almost impossible to make a left hand turn. City Council Minutes April 17, 1972 Page 9 Anna Dolan continued she felt this visibility was now improved for the. safety of`the children going to the two schools on the west side of Grand Avenue. She continued that the problem was caused by the fact that all the residences on Grand Avenue were developed origi.nally as single family residences and now they were being rented to groups of students who had more than the number of cars a family would have which meant they had to park in the street. She continued it was her understanding that most of these rentals were in violation of City ordinances as they rented to more than the number of persons allowed by the ordinance. Richard Johnson, 250 Grand Avenue, felt that painting the red zone in front of his house was unfair as everyone else on Grand Avenue was not being so treated. David Cook, 1959 Hays, stated he was most happy with the decision in painting the curb red for the safety of motorists in the area and he hoped that the City Council would not rescind their action. J. A. Warnes, 1845 Hays, spoke in support of the Council aciton for traffic safety in the area. Howard Brown, 276 Graves, supported the Council's action in prohibiting parking in the interest of traffic safety. Mayor Schwartz declared the public hearing closed. D. F. Romero, City Engineer, commented on the traffic safety aspect of this action. On motion of Councilman Gurnee, seconded by Councilman Blake, that the City Council consider no change in RESOLUTION NO. 2277. Motion carried. The Council recessed at 9:25 P. M. The Council reconvened at 9:30 P. M. with all members present. 9. At this time the City Council held a public hearing on the adoption of the Capital Improvement Program for the fiscal year 1972/73. The City Council received a communication from the League of Women Voters informing the City Council that they still supported acquisition of the Foothill Saddle by the City and urged action to acquire this and portions of Bishop's Peak and San Luis Mountain. They hoped that the City Council would continue to accumulate funds for their acquisition. Mayor Schwartz explained to the people present what procedures were used by the City Council in the preparation of the C.I.P. priorities listing under consideration by.the City Council. He explained that Category One items on the listing were projects which had been completed during the current fiscal year. Category Two items were items either under construction or in the planning stage. Category Three items were projects for which reserve funds.have been started and Category Four were the C.I.P. priorities listed for the 1972/72 fiscal year and beyond. Mayor Schwartz declared the public hearing open. Donald Risen, member of the Planning Commission, questioned the Council's consideration of recommendations made by the Planning Commission and the department heads when their item with the highest priority was listed as No. 34 in the City Council's list. (Branch Fire Station in Los Osos Valley). He felt that possibly the Planning Commission was wasting its time in attempting to categorize priority order. City Council Minutes April 17, 1972 Page 10 James A. Bourne, 1695 Royal Way, stated he too objected to the placement of the fire station for Los Osos Valley down to Item No. 34. He stated the Fire Department had informed him that it took twice as long to answer calls in the Laguna Lake Area than any other.area of the City. He felt that as a property owner,.he was entitled to the same fire pro- tection as other areas of the City. ' Henry Rible, 1356 Avalon, hoped that Item No. 34 would be moved up on this priorities list to at least be contructed in the 1973/74 fiscal year. Mayor Schwartz read from the Fire Chief's priority listing which did not place this item at the top of his requests. Mayor Schwartz declared the public hearing closed. Councilman Brown stated he saw no reason to change the priority listing as developed by the Council. The other Councilmen agreed. On motion of Councilman Gurnee, seconded by Councilman Brown, the follow- ing resolution was introduced. RESOLUTION No. 2295, a resolution adopting the revised capital improvement program for the fiscal year 1972/73 and following. Passed and adopted on the following roll call vote: AYES: Emmons Blake, John C. Brown, Myron Graham, T. Keith Gurnee, Kenneth E. Schwartz NOES: None ABSENT: None 10. Upon the request of the Whale Rock Commission: On motion of Councilman Gurnee, seconded by.Councilman Brown, the follow- ing resolution was introduced. RESOLUTION NO. 2296, a resolution of the Council of the City of San Luis Obispo requesting the sheriff of San Luis Obispo County to aid in the enforcement of the Superior Court Injunction prohibiting activities on the premises of Whale Rock Reservoir. Passed and adopted on the following roll call vote: AYES: Emmons Blake, John C. Brown, Myron Graham, T. Keith Gurnee, Kenneth E. Schwartz NOES: None ABSENT: None ]1. R. D. Young, Planning Director, reported to the City Council that the staff had contacted six firms for.informal bids for redwood signs for the City entrances, parks, and parking lots. Only two of these.firms ' expressed an interest in constructing. the signs.. R. J. Condra bid $1087.50 for five signs and Architectural Arts bid $1100.00 for five signs. Mr: Young stated the staff had no previous dealings with Mr. Condra and he also stated his department was not aware of any other firms.that might be interested in this project. R. J. Condra notified the City Council that he could not comply with the bid requirements and asked that he not be considered at this time. City Council Minutes April 17, 1972 Page 11 R. D. Young, Planning Director, recommended that the bid of Architectural Arts be accepted. On motion of Councilman Graham, seconded by Councilman Brown, that the bid of Architectural Arts be accepted. Motion carried. 12. At this time the,City Council considered the tentative map of Tract No. 444, (Deeter). R. D. Young, Planning Director, presented the recommendations of the Planning Commission as follows: 1. The final . map shall not be recorded until the water solution is assured and is under contract. 2. The developer shall reimburse the City at the rate of $35 per lot for sewer costs advanced to serve properties in the Los Osos Valley. 3. The developer shall pay the City at the rate of $350 per acre for the net acreage within the subdivision, in accordance with the requirements of the Municipal Code. 4. The name "El Roblar" shall be changed since this name is similar to "Las Robles ", already existing within the City. 5. A water main shall be extended to the northerly limit of Potrero St. 6. Developer shall install an 8 -inch line throughout the development except a 12 -inch line shall be installed on El Roblar with the City paying the difference between the 8 -inch and 12 -inch on El Roblar. 7. The developer shall deposit $1.00 per lineal foot of street frontage for street tree planting. 8. A six foot public utilities easement shall be provided along the perimeter of all streets within the tract. 9. The public utilities easement shown at the rear property line shall be removed. 10. Developer shall provide two 12 -foot all weather dust free access lanes down El Roblar to Los Osos Valley Road. Mayor Schwartz recommended that the map be sent back to the Planning Commission for reconsideration of a school site and park site or in lieu funds should be contributed for future park development in accordance.with.the City's adopted General Plan. , Councilman Graham agreed with the Mayor's comments regarding park land. Councilman Gurnee stated he felt the tentative map presented several problems which should be corrected such as the water problem, traffic problem, the lack of a park site or any provision for developing a park and he recommended that the developer should reconsider the map. Councilman Brown felt this tentative map was an insensitive use of land, was a poor street plan and should be reconsidered by the Planning Commission. Mayor Schwartz suggested that.the Council reject the tentative map of Tract 444 and refer it to the Planning Commission for restudy with the developer. He felt they should discuss such items as school site and facilities for a park site or funds to put in a park and also felt that the Planning Commission should look.to the general plan for guidance on future tracts. W. Flory, Director of Parks and Recreation, suggested that the City Council consider some type of fee to be deposited by developers for the development of parks and recreation facilities. The City Council discussed their separate recommendations and objected to the tentative map presented. 1 1 1 City Council Minutes April 17, 1972 Page 12 On motion of Mayor Schwartz, seconded by Councilman Graham, that the. Council ask the Planning Commission for review of the seeming lack of provision of elementary schools and park land as shown in the General Plan for this area, and further the Council did not wish to be bound by roads from the tract to Los Osos Valley Road as shown on the tentative map. Motion carried. ' A. J. Shaw, City Attorney, was asked to notify the developer of the Council's decision. 13. Communication from the San Luis Coastal Unified School District urging the City Council:to proceed with the widening of Johnson Avenue between Lizzie and San Luis Drive due to the hazards which exist in this area. The City Clerk was asked to inform the School District this item was #11 on the C.I.P. and should be completed in the 1972/73 fiscal year. 14. Report from the City Engineer on the proposed priorities for street work during the 1972/73 fiscal year was continued to Monday, April 24, 1972. 15. The City Council received a recommendation from the Library Board that the matter of a Charter amendment to permit the Council to consoli- date the City and County library systems be placed on the earliest available ballot. William Fredman, Chairman of the Library Board, appeared before the City ' Council on behalf of the Library Board requesting that the City Council approve an amendment to the Charter to enable consolidation of the City and County library systems.
