4B. Continued consideration of the approval of the final map and
subdivision agreement for Garden Homes, Los Verdes Park, Tract 467,
Unit 2. Continued from July I, 1974.
D. F. Romero, City Engi.neer, submitted a report relative to flood waters
displaced by fill proposed i.n Tract 467, Unit 2 as evidenced from the
1973 flood. The City Engineer presented a cross section drawn to scale
of the waterway area opposite the lowest end of Unit 2. He stated
the cross section showed the area between the north -bound off -ramp to
the Los Osos interchange and beyond the limit of flooding in Garden Homes.
By the City's analysis, flood waters within the area proposed to be
filled, provided for 17 cubic feet /second of the total of 15,200 c.f.s.
which passed this point during the 1.973 storm.-.He felt this was
approximately one -tenth (1 /10) of one percent (1 %) of the total flow.
He continued that if these waters were prevented from flowing across
that portion of Tract 467 proposed to be filled, that the resultant
raise of the flood levels for the entire area would not be measurable.
He felt the flood levels could be lowered in this -area by allowing
cattle or sheep to graze on the flood plain, thus improving the flow
characteristics due to clearing out of undesirable brush, debris and
long grass:
He also submitted.a letter.from the State Department of Transportation
which indicated that they felt no concern with the fill within Tract
467, and its effect 'upon their highway and highway property.
Robert Strong, Planning Director, again reviewed his report of June 27,
1974 regarding the final map and subdivision agreement Tract 467,
Unit 2. He stated that it was his evaluation that the project had.
advanced to final stages of planning with only-minor alterations to the
preliminary grading plans considered more than one:and one -half years
ago. He felt that modifications had generally reduced :the amount of
earthwork involved. He felt the inherent problem was observed two
years ago with the City Engineer advised that the initial design of the
planned development was not appropriate to the existing terrain. Despite
this initial advice, the City had approved numerous refinements to the
proposal and authorized removal of material from Unit 2 to supply fill
for Unit 'I and backfill for related sewer and water construction. The
damage which might have been avoided by a more appropriate design which
better fit natural terrain was done, and the natural terrain was no

longer evident.
Robert Strong stated, that from a practical perspective, there was
little option but to allow further grading, and the approved plan
required substantial terracing to accommodate the cluster housing
proposed. He felt that while a total redesign might accomplish a
reduction in grading, this would imply starting the design from the
beginning. Regardless of redesign, considerable earthwork would.be
necessary to regrade the excavated areas to a condition which would
accommodate development. Although the EIR made brief reference to
grading in the area west of the project, it provided no detail
regarding the extent of "off- site" fill, the impact of such additional
deposits upon flood plain capacity, displacement of flood waters to
other properties or other related, potential adverse environmental effects.
He concluded that there were, however, other areas which were not flood
prone on which the excess material could be deposited, and, with
further study, the proposed.off -site grading might be shown to involve
only insignificant effects with proper mitigation measures.
It was his recommendation that the final map .for Tract 467, Unit 2,
conformed to the approved precise plan and tentative map, and the staff
suggested that the Council accept the final map and subdivision agree-
ment, subject to the condition that any off -site grading shall be a
separate and independent consideration.
Councilman Gurnee stated that he was still opposed to the proposal to
move dirt from Unit 2 to the adjacent property. He felt that this would
be a poor precedent and detrimental to the environment. He felt that '
60,000 yards of dirt was too much to move into a flood plain. He
stated that he was opposed to development of Unit I, and was more
strongly opposed to the development H Unit 2.
Councilman Brown felt that unless the flood plain was not affected by
the development, he could not support the development. He felt that
the Engineer's report cleared up this matter for him, and he would
support the development of Unit 2.
Councilman Graham felt that Unit 2 was acceptable, but, he felt that
the Council must some day face the issue of grading in the flood plain
and the re- alignment of San Luis Creek in this general area.
Councilman Norris felt the movement of dirt was not adverse and what was
important was the result of the development for the citizens of San Luis
Obispo and the amenities for the residents of the tract. He felt he
could support the approval of Unit 2 of Tract 467.
Mayor Schwartz felt the Council approved the preliminary plan for Units
I and 2, and he was satisfied with the development of Unit I. He did
not realize in the preliminary.plan that such a tremendous volume of
dirt was to be moved on the site and additional dirt off the site. He
felt the report of the City Engineer cleared up the flood problem to
Unit 2 to his satisfaction, and he would approve the final map of Unit 2
and also the subdivision agreement.
On motion of Councilman Norris, seconded by Councilman Brown that the
City Council accept and approve the final map of Tract 467, Unit 2 and
the subdivision agreement as amended by the City Council. Motion
carried on the following roll' call vote:

' ABSENT: None
The action.of the City Council included a grading permit for Unit 2,
and they overruled the recommendation-of the Architectural Review
Commission and the Waterways Planning Board as far as it applied to
grading at the western boundary of Unit 2.
Regarding 'off= site" grading, A. J. Shaw, City Attorney, read section
8120 of the Municipal Code suggesting that the City Council could not
under this ordinance authorize the moving of dirt onto adjacent
property unless the property owner could establish the existence of
the conditions set forth in the ordinance.
Warren Dolezal, Developer of Tract 467, requested City Council
approval of a grading permit to move dirt from Unit 2, Tract 467 to
the adjacent property which was not under development at this time.
Mr. Dolezal reviewed for:-the City Council that he had a tentative map
filed with the Planning Commission for development not only of Units
I and 2 of Tract 467, but also the adjacent Tract which was- planned
to be highway commercial. He continued that the fill would be required
to enable future development and that this grading was surplus dirt
from Units I and 2. Future proposed commercial development would
also require improvement and re- aligning of.San Luis Creek running
1 through the property. He .concluded that the EIR prepared for'Tract 467
included grading of the property proposed for commercial development
adjacent-to Units I and 2 of Tract 467. He, therefore, again asked
that the City Council grant permission to place excess material from
Unit 2 grading operation on the adjacent property in accordance with
the tentative plans submitted.
Robert Strong, Planning Director, stated that the prior EIR did not
sufficiently discuss the "off- site" grading.proposed and that the
Council should first determine whether, pursuant.to City ordinances,
any off -site grading would be acceptable to the City. He suggested
that this matter be referred to the Architectural Review Commission
for review and recommendation, and also to the Planning Commission for
determination on the requirements of an EIR submittal, if.the Council
would consider off -site grading acceptable in concept.
David Williamson, Assistant Administrative Officer, reminded the City
Council of the implication of the federal flood Insurance Program on
development in areas classified as flood prone.
After discussion by the City Council, it was the consensus that the
Council take no action on Mr. Dolezal's request to move dirt from
Unit 2 to the adjacent property until a full staff report was made
on the request by the developer and to see i.f the property met pre-
scribed exceptions.
5. Discussion of the League of Women Voters' proposal for the
City Council to change the election date for.Municipal Elections from
the third Tuesday in April in the odd numbered year to.the first
Tuesday after the first Monday in March of the odd numbered years, in
order to coincide with recently enacted state law establishing
state -wide election dates for school districts in California.

6. Memorandum from John Quirk,.Assistant Director-6f Water
Services, requesting that the City Council approve a notice of water use
restrictions in the Los.Osos Valley and Zone I due to increased demand
at this time of the year and the existing systems deficiencies.. He
recommended that the following conditions be implemented:
I. Use of water through hydrants for construction projects
be limited to the hours of 1:00 P.M. through 4:00 P.M..
2.. That specific days be scheduled in advance and verified
with water and fire departments.

major portion of the old town area which lies within
Zone I.

limited to the hours of 9:00 P.M. and 6:00 A.M. .
6. That these restricti.ons remain in effect until pressure
monitoring stations within the zone.indi.cate an easing
of demand and acceptable pressure levels.
R. D. Miller, Administrative Officer, stated that it was understood that
this proposal to restrict water use would be on a voluntary basis unless
wide- spread abuses occurred.
On motion of Councilman Gurnee, seconded by Councilman Graham the recommen-
dation of water use restriction in Los Osos Valley and'Zone I was approved. ,

Edna Saddle Site Preparation and Tank Erection submitted proposals
from consulting engineers from Penfield & Sm:ith, Buena Engineers,
Dames & Moore and Jennings, Bartlett & Assoc=iates for.pro.fessional
services involving the Tank Site Preparation and Tank Erection. He
recommended that the City Council accept the proposals as follows:
Penfield.& Smith to provide construction inspection as
described in their letter of May 8, 1974, estimated
cost of $20,000.
2. Buena Engineers, Inc., to provide grading and backfill
testing, concrete testing, qualifications of welders,
radiographic inspection of welds and painting, and
leakage inspection as required by the construction
inspector, estimated cost for services.$13,200.

conditions at appropriate times during construction
as called for by the construction inspector., estimated
cost for the services $1,500. .
4. Jennings; "Bartlett & Associates for construction
staking and.cross sectioning as called.for by the
constructing inspector, estimated cost for services,
$9,000.
Councilman Norris objected to retaining Buena= Engineering, Inc. to
provide grading and backfill testing, concrete testing, etc. instead of
Central Coast Labs, which was a local firm and which he stated would do
the work much cheaper than Buena. Further, he felt the City should go
with a local engineer, Mr. Williams.
After discussion by the City Council, it was moved on motion of
Councilman Brown, seconded by Councilman Norris that items I, 3 and 4
be approved as recommended at the estimated.cost; and that item 2,
Buena Engineers be continued for a further information from City staff.
Motion carried.

San Luis Obispo, CA Alt. 2 $59,729.00
A memorandum from Paul E. LandelI, Jr. was submitted in which he stated
that the low bid from Smee's Plumbing of their alternate bid-of
$59,110 included a joint trench and back'fill operation with the
Southern California Gas Company at Elks Lane. He stated the Gas
Company had agreed to pay the $2,000 difference, plus one =half of
the cost of compliance with the Fish & Game regulations at this site.
One -half would be $875.00. He oontinued'that after discussion with
Smee's, it was agreed that two - thirds of the cost of compliance with
the Fish & Game regulations could be deleted, because if they awarded
the contract for the job, they would run the waterline and sewerline
jobs together and could delete a substantial portion of the work
necessary to comply with the regulations. This would result in a
further savings of $1,172.50. Therefore, the. net.. cost to:.the City
would be $55,062.50, and Mr..Landell recommended that the low bid of
Smee's Plumbing and Heating be_:accepted and the contract. awarded.
City Engineer Romero concurred.
'
On motion of Councilman Gurnee, seconded by Councilman Brown that the
low bid as amended by Smee's Plumbing, Alternate I, be accepted.
