the City's direction to revert to acreage that property owned by French at
the end of George and Iris Streets, at which time the City would abandon
those portions of the streets within the French holdings. He also reviewed
the action taken by the City Council on June 7, 1976, that directed Charles
French, on behalf of the property owners, to file the required parcel map
within 60 days or remove the dirt which is in violation of the grading permit,
and if not, the city to cite as a nuisance under the Nuisance Ordinances of

He continued that to date Charles French has done nothing to comply with
the Council direction and has done nothing to either filing the revision
to acreage map or remove the fill. Finally, as there is no condition
in the grading permit to require reversion to acreage, he recommended
that the City Council abandon all consideration of abandonment of these
streets to the Frenches' due to non - compliance by the property owners.
D.F. Romero, Public Services Director, agreed with the City Engineer's
recommendations to. drop all street abandonment proceedings as it is his
opinion that the earth fill presents no problem to the City and the City
should drop proceedings.
The City Council discussed with staff the long history of the problem,
and finally by unanimous consent of those council members present (Graham,
Norris and Schwartz) the staff is to proceed with the action taken by the
Council on June 7, 1976, and finally, the Council was quite disturbed that
the matter was again brought to them after they had taken action and
directed the staff to act.
15. The matter of the joint agreement between the City of San Luis Obispo
and Model Linen Supply and Industrial Service for installation of a.sewer
line in South Street between the Model Linen property and Higuera Street

the City Council that funds for the construction of a swimming pool might
be available from the State Department of Parks & Recreation from Land and
Water Conservation Funds if the City had matching funds and could finance
100% of the project, half of which would be reimbursed.
R.D. Miller, Administrative Officer, recommended that the City drop any
consideration of this grant application since the City did not have 1
matching funds.
The matter was received and filed.

ing that the City Council consider replacing a 1955 GMC fire truck with

21. At this time the City Council considered minor subdivision 76 -243
(E. & W. Gifford - Pacific Engineers, applicant; 683 California Boulevard
and 1421 Phillips Lane).
Rob Strong, Director of Community Development, stated the Planning Commission
recommended that the council approve the minor subdivision subject to five
findings and six conditions.
The findings are:
1. Planning Commission finds the proposed parcel 2 meets the intent of
the City's lot depth /lot width ratio requirements acceptable to the
City as a lot of record.
2. The proposed parcel map and design -are consistent with the general
plan.
3. The site is physically suited for the proposed type and denisty of
development permitted by the R -3 zone.
4. The design is not likely to cause substantial environmental damage
or cause serious public health problems.
5. The design of the proposed subdivision will not conflict with public
easements for access through or use of property within the proposed
subdivision.
The conditions are:
1. Topographic map submitted as part of application shall be accepted
for the land division only and is not acceptable for development of
the site. Final parcel map should be so noted.
2. Each parcel shall be served by a city sewer. A ten foot sewer ease-
ment shall be shown on the final map along the entire northwesterly
property line of parcel 2 to serve parcel 1.

3. All-lot corners shall be staked by a registered civil engineer or
licensed surveyor.
4. Curb, gutter, sidewalk and necessary street pave -out shall be
installed on Phillips Lane to city standards and approved prior
to recordation of the final map.
5. The applicant shall dedicate to the city and install improvements
to accommodate one -half of a 50 -foot radius cul -de -sac at the
end of Phillips Lane to the approval of the City Engineer.
6. Street trees shall be installed on all street frontages per Public
Services Department approval prior to recordation of the final map.
Harry Orton, on behalf of Pacific Engineers and Surveyors, requested that
the City Council omit conditions 2,4,5 and 6 as 4,5 and 6 related to
improvements that had been placed on the project. Since the two lots
would have to have driveways and possibly other curb and pavement cuts,
it was felt the improvements would be more intelligently constructed after
the project for the sites comes to the city for approval. Therefore, he
requested these conditions remain subject to building permits and not the
parcel map. Item 2 concerned a ten -foot sewer easement to serve the subject
parcel 1 through parcel 2. The property owner has been in contact with the
prospective owner of parcel 1. He has indicated that the buyer's proposed
structure has parking underneath the first floor to take advantage of the
grade differential. This also makes the sewer easement unnecessary since
the first floor would then sewer by gravity flow to California Street. He
therefore, requested that item 2 be removed from the condition of approval.
On motion of Mayor Schwartz, seconded by Councilman Norris, the City Council
accepted the minor subdivision 76 -243 with the following amendments.
Defer sidewalk, trees, curb, gutter and street which are to be palced
in prior to construction and along with the building permit.
Motion carried.
22. The City Council considered a communication from the Channel Counties
Division of the League of California Cities, requesting that the Council
consider the following resolution submitted to the Channel Counties Division
for their next meeting:
A. A resolution of the Council of the City of Santa Barbara urging
support of property tax reforms.
On motion of Mayor Schwartz, seconded by Councilman Norris, the
proposed resolution was unacceptable to the City of San Luis Obispo
as not fair to all dwellers, including renters, and it has no
provisions for replacement of lost revenue. Motion carried.
B. A resolution from the City of Carpinteria urging the state
legislature to support regulations to require the State of
California to provide financial assistance impacted by state
activities.
On motion of Councilman Norris, seconded.by Mayor Schwartz, that
the City Council of San Luis Obispo support the idea in principle.
Motion carried. The Mayor was to take that action at the next
Channel Counties meeting.
23. On motion of Councilman Norris, seconded by Councilman Graham, the
City Council approved the plans and specifications for alternate /automatic
irrigation system, phase III, Laguna Lake Park, City Plan No. 21 -77, at
