4.A Wayne Peterson, City. Engineer, reviewed for the City Council revisions
to the Nolte Report of San Luis Obispo Creek Phase I. He
stated that based on
modifications of right -of -way costs and also giving credit
right -of -way and easements that are presently owned, they
to the city for
have lowered the
estimated cost for each of the proposed projects. The 25
year design would
cost 4.7 million dollars with an additional 4 million dollars
to provide flood -
proofing to the 100 year level. The 50 year design would
cost 10.2 million
dollars to construct plus another 0.7 million dollars for
flood - proofing.
The 100 year design would cost 11.9 million dollars to construct
but would
cost nothing for flood - proofing. He continued that based
on an analysis of
City Council Minutes
December 2, 1980 - 4:00 p.m.
Page 4
the revised report and the financial report by Rudy Muravez on the subject of
capital financing for flood control, the Public Services staff recommended
that the Council adopt the 50 -year design criteria for San Luis Creek from
the confluence of Stenner Creek to the seven limits of the unimproved channel.
They also recommended that the Council adopt a policy of pay as you go and
not borrow money for the project. He concluded by saying that this design
standard roughly balances the under city culvert capacity. If the Council
agreed with adopting this standard, then they could authorize Nolte to
complete the assignment to help determine the areas needed to be protected '
for future widenings. Once the consultant and staff had decided how the
creek was to be improved and to what standard, they proposed to come to the
Council each budget time with a prioritized list of projects to be
constructed during the next upcoming years. In this way, the projects would
be built when they could be afforded by the city with projects of opportunity
and high priority going ahead of lower priority projects. If the City Council
did not adopt this theory, they would never be able to build these projects.
Rudy Muravez, Finance Director, reviewed for the City Council those options
open for financing of major flood control projects. One would be the general
obligation bonds, special assessment district bonds, new taxes, use of revenue
sharing, grants from various agencies such as the Corps of Engineers, Soil
Conservation District, Land and Water Conservation funds, and housing and
other mode programs. He concluded that his studies showed most avenues to
be impossible due to the magnitude of the costs and the difficulty of raising
funds at this time under the various restrictions of state legislature. He
felt that probably the best way the project could proceed would be through a
pay as you go program.
Councilwoman Billig asked Mr. Romero and Mr. Peterson if it was not true
that there were several design possibilities for the 50 year prototype. Both
responded yes and these alternatives will be brought back to the council.
On motion of Councilman Munger, seconded by Mayor Cooper, that the City Council
approve the 50 -year design criteria for city creeks and authorize Nolte to I
complete the report. Motion carried, all ayes, Councilman Bond absent.
On motion of Councilman Munger, seconded by Councilman Dunin, that the city
Council adopt the pay -as- you -go financing proposal with bond alternatives at
the time prior to construction. Motion carried, Councilman Bond absent.

HenrEn enn, Community Development Director, stated that the Planning 1
Commission, on a 4 -1 vote, forwarded the tentative map for Minor Subdivision
No. 80 -62 to the council with no recommendation either for approval or denial.
In making no recommendation, the Planning Commission felt that the council's
action in granting Variance V0855, to allow a deep lot subdivision in the
R -2 zone, was inappropriate and that required findings were not properly made.
Therefore, the required findings to approve a subdivision cannot be made by
the Planning Commission.
Vice-Mayor Dunin.- presiding, opened the meeting to the public.
Leonard Lenger, representing the property owner, reviewed the proposal for
the City Council's information and the findings and conditions established
by the City Council in approving the variance for this minor subdivision. He
also asked that staff be asked to look at all the records and make sure
that all fees required for this minor sub have been paid.
Robert Ryan:.spoke in support of the lot split as he stated he would
live in one of the houses he would purchase which he rents now.
Carol Wherit, Parcel "C", stated he was in support of approving this tentative
map.
Vice -Mayor Dunin closed the public hearing.
Councilwoman Billig stated she was opposed to this type of lot split in the
R -2 zone. She stated it was not the intent of the zoning ordinance to allow
flag type lots in the R -2 zone.
Councilman Bond stated he could support the tentative map subject the conditions
previously established.
Councilman Munger stated he would support the lot.split in order to encourage
private ownership of residences and he also asked the staff to check to make
sure that all fees had been paid.

more time to work with his consultants. He stated that he realized the
appeal had been advertised for December 2, 1980 and he had no objections to
the Council taking testimony then from other members of the public who
might appear but he would not plan on appearing. In the meantime if the city
would approve the $25,000 Quarterly Funding Program referred to in the
Community Development Director's staff report they would be quite grateful.
Henry Engen, Community Development Director, stated that in order to
meet- ..city water distribution and fire flow standards, Dan Benge has been
advised that some 800' of water lines plus a fire hydrant will be required to
be installed prior to its construction of a single - family house at the above
address in the Monterey Heights area. Staff recommends that the improvement
to the fire hydrant and 8 -inch and 4 -inch water mains from Santa Ynez to the
site which would anticipate future installation of the remaining line should
be approved. He continued that this portion of the Monterey Heights area is
substandard in terms of fire flow and the city anticipates future improvements
to be made by people developing but under the resource deficiency ordinance
is required that appropriate mitigating measures be established for alleviating
identified resource deficiencies. Pursuant to the ordinance, the council
minutes must state the specific measures decided upon and the reasons for them.
As noted, it would appear that something like $30,000 will be required to
proceed with obtaining a building permit for the single - family structure.
Henry.Engen said it would be reasonable to have the applicant's improvement
limited to that immediately benefitting his home and not the entire area.
This would require extending an 8 -inch diameter water main to Santa Ynez
from Santa Maria to the satisfaction of the Utilities Engineer and the
Fire Department. The distance involved here would be approximately 250'
instead of 800'. With respect to fire flow, they should provide 1,000 gallons
per minute at the new hydrant. Staff recommends that the action on the appeal
should be deferred if the applicant were to apply for the Quarterly Funding
Program. Should this project be chosen by the Council there would be no reason
for an appeal.

Plan, 2) adopting a Lake Management Plan, and finally authorizing an EIR
on both the Master Plan and the Management Plan. Tom Maples then reviewed
in detail the report prepared by the consultants on the Laguna Lake Manage-
ment Plan and Identification of Alternative Management Programs. He reviewed

ditions and uses, 3) appropriate uses and required conditions, 4) lake
management objectives; 5) alternative methods for achieving objectives, and
6) alternate management"programs. He summarized the lake management objectives
as follows: a) maintaining 3 to 4 feet of lake depth at seasonal low water
level, b) reduce or eliminate existing aquatic weeds, c) provide for ongoing
aquatic weed control, d) prevent Prefumo Canyon Road sediment from reaching
Laguna Lake, and e) preserving the characteristics of the lake which are
important to existing wildlife habitat, existing level of flood protection
and existing recreational,_opportunity.

Mrs. Lola Gruber questioned private property owner being allowed
to pump water out of the lake to irrigate farmland without any payments to
the city recognizing that the property involved was outside of the city
limits.
Tony Bank, 1346 Oceanaire Drive, urged the Council reject the proposal
to raise the level of the lake by blocking off a portion of the drain system
at Madonna Road. -He felt that the damage that would be caused to adjacent
property owners by wave action would be disastrous.

Ordinance No. 871, an ordinance rezoning the property known as Stoneridge
(formerly Cheapskate Hill) from R -1, R -2 and A /C -40 to R -1 -PD.

of the San Luis Obispo Municipal Code to provide the Planning Commission to
consist of 5 members.
Mayor Cooper declared the public hearing open.
Allen Settle urged the council not to reduce the membership on the Planning
Commission to five members. He felt that seven members was minimum to be
effective for the public.
GlennaDeanne Dovey asked why was this ordinance being passed in such a
rush when it was not going into effect until January 1, 1981.
Don Smith urged the council to leave the Planning Commission at seven members.
Mayor Cooper declared the public hearing closed.
The City Council discussed those sections of the Planning Commission Ordinance
dealing with the continuity in terms of office and felt it was their
intention not to change the terms of the Planning Commission members but to
continue them as they were. Therefore, the matter was referred to staff
to reduce the membership to five members and the terms to expire as presently
existing on their present appointments using the July 1 date of the odd -
numbered years.
