SIDEWALK IMPROVEMENTS - CARPENTER & ORANGE
Council held a public hearing to determine the public interest, neces-
sity and convenience to require the construction of curb and gutter,
sidewalk and driveway ramp improvements on portion of Carpenter Street
and Orange Drive.
Dave Romero, Public Services Director, stated that since 1962 the City
had an on -going sidewalk construction program and at the June 23, 1981,
study session, Council approved the priorities for this years projects.
On January 5 the Council adopted a resolution preliminarily determining
that certain improvements were required on Carpenter Streets and Orange
Drive and setting February 2 as the public meeting to receive testimony
regarding those improvements. After receiving testimony Council may
elect to eliminate any or all of the improvements.by modifying Exhibit A
of the resolution. After Council determination of property to be
improved, staff will post properties and property owners will have 30
days to commence construction. If the work is not initiated by the
property owner during that time, the City will advertise and hire a
contractor to conduct the work. Upon completion of the work, there will
be a public hearing of the Council to pass upon a report of costs. At
that time the Council may revise or modify the report-.-as seen-. fit. ..
Following the hearing the .property owner will have the opportunity to
pay off the cost in cash in three annual payments at 6 percent interest
or allow the cost to become a lien against the property.
Councilman Griffin asked when the last time the criteria for the program
had been reexamined.
Mr. Romero stated that it had not been done since 1962.
Mayor Billig declared the public hearing open.
Allen Johnson, 151 Orange Drive, did not feel that improvements had been
demonstrated as a need, and he did not wish to see sidewalks installed.
He stated the property owners take great pride in their gardens and
their ornamental horticulture. The street is but a block long and in
effect, dead ends going nowhere. Except for the cars of residents, very
few drivers use Orange Drive and with the permit- parking -only designa-
tion, drivers are further discouraged from utilizing the street. The
original resolution that established sidewalk improvements referenced
that this should be especially important near the grade schools.. He
explained that Cal Poly was the only school in this area, obviously not
an elementary or secondary school and, therefore, did not fit this
criteria. He would urge the Council to oppose requirements on Orange
Drive.
Gladys Gray, 133 Orange Drive, stated she was also opposed to any
sidewalk improvements as this would virtually eliminate her 38 rose
bushes, which had been planted by her deceased husband, which she took
great pride in and would urge the Council to protect. She had even
received an award from Obispo Beautiful for her fine garden of which her
roses had been a large asset.
Mike Mainini, 148 Orange Drive and newest resident of this street and
property owner, felt that the Council should delete sidewalk improve-
ments at this time to protect the unique character of the neighborhood.

Sandra Swart, 111 Orange Drive, felt that to put in sidewalks would only
encourage more people in this area, and she would be opposed to this.
Beverly Green, 138 Orange Drive, had come before the City Council in the
past and had been excused from putting in sidewalks and has landscaped
her property to protect the unique character of the neighborhood and in
keeping with the other neighboring properties; she would also be opposed
to any sidewalk improvements.
' Florence Caylor, 191 Orange Drive, had lived in this neighborhood for 21
years; she was proud of her street and would like to see it continue.
She felt these improvements would also cause additional flooding during
winter rains.
Rene' Rierstine, 172 Orange Drive and Cal Poly Student, also urged the
Council to leave the area as it is; she also would support retaining
Mrs. Grey's rose bushes.
Dorothy Wright, 110 Orange Drive, was also opposed to sidewalk improve-
ments as this would result in a great deal of earth moving which she
felt unnecessary.
Mayor Billig declared the public hearing closed and explained that the
Council had three options: 1) To require improvements on both sides of
the streets, 2) require improvements on one side of the street, or 3)
leave boths'sides alone.
On motion of Councilman Dunin, seconded by Councilman Settle, to elimi-
nate sidewalk improvements for Orange Drive.
Councilman Settle felt-that improvements should be made according to the
wishes of the neighborhood and `as this neighborhood was opposed, he
could support them.
Councilman Griffin felt that this policy was an obsolete one and would
like to see staff reevaluate and come back with additional recommen-
dations.
Councilwoman Dovey agreed with Councilman Griffin.. .
Motion carried, all ayes.
On motion of Councilwoman Dovey,.seconded by Councilman Dunin, the
following resolution was introduced: Resolution No. 4728 (1982 Series),
a resolution of the City of San Luis Obispo determining that public
convenience and necessity require construction of certain improvements
on portions of Carpenter Street.
Passed and adopted on the following roll call vote:
AYES: Councilmembers Dovey, Dunin, Griffin, Settle and Mayor Billig
NOES: None
ABSENT: None
Councilman Dunin would like to see the policy referred back to staff to
be revised with special consideration given to neighborhood situations
separating the needs of neighborhoods as opposed to downtown, shopping
centers, and specific latitude given to hillside-areas.
Councilman Griffin agreed with comments made by Councilman Dunin and
would like to see reexamination of the priority schedule and the .
existing sidewalk criteria. He felt that Orange Street should be taken
off the priority schedule.
Councilman Settle was concerned with three issues: 1) Traffic flow, 2)
scenic nature, and 3) topography. He would be willing to hold off any

additional sidewalk improvements throughout the City until this reevalu-
ation had been completed.
Councilwoman Dovey felt that if any urgent sidewalk problems were to
come before staff, that those items should be forwarded to the Council,
otherwise, she would not be opposed to holding off any additional
sidewalk improvements until this reevaluation had been finished.
On motion of Councilman
request staff to review
hoods from downtown and
traffic flow and to put
within the City unless
carried, 5 -0.
Settle, seconded by

2. ORDINANCE NO. 914 - OVERSIZED STRUCTURES AND VEHICLES ON CITY
Council held a public hearing to consider final passage of Ordinance No.
914, an ordinance amending the Municipal Code to provide for the regul-
ation of transportation of oversize and overweight structures and
vehicles over city streets (continued from 1/5/82).
Dave Romero, Public Services Director, explained that at the Council's
last hearing questions had been raised regarding liability insurance
required in the ordinance. The amount shown had been $1 million for
bodily injury and property damage. The ordinance requires $1 million
worth of insurance for moving houses farther than 25 feet and $300,000
worth of insurance for moving houses less distance. Staff would
recommend that Council adopt the ordinance amending it to coincide with
the requirements established by the California Vehicle Code, which
simply states that vehicles which have an unladen weight of 7,000 pounds
or more, to carry 600,000 on single limit or 250,000/500,000 /100,000
worth of insurance. One advantage with going with the same as the
California Vehicle Code is that whenever the vehicle code is amended in
future years, the city ordinance would automatically be amended to
require like coverage.
Mayor Billig declared the public hearing open. No one spoke for or
against the proposed final passage. Mayor Billig declared the public
hearing closed.
On motion of Councilman Settle, seconded by Councilman Dunin, the
ordinance was introduced for final passage: Ordinance No. 914 (1982
Series), an ordinance amending the Municipal Code to provide for regula-
tion of transportation of oversize and overweight structures and
vehicles over city streets.

NOES: None

3. ORDINANCE NO. 915 - ALCOHOL SALES AT SERVICE STATIONS
Council held a public hearing to consider final passage of Ordinance No.
915, an ordinance amending the Municipal Code to prohibit the sale of
alcoholic beverages from service stations.
George Thacher, City Attorney, explained that the Planning'Commission on
a 2 -2 vote was unable to take any position in support or in opposition
to this prohibition. The City Council had already introduced this
ordinance to print and then referred it to the Planning Commission; they
were now able to give final passage if they still felt-the same way..-
Mayor Billig declared the public hearing open.

Pat Gerety, Planning Commission member, explained that the four commis-
sioners were all in support of some type of regulation prohibiting the
sale of alcoholic beverages at service stations, but they were unable to
determine which method would be best and hence the 2 -2 vote.
Mayor Billig declared the public hearing closed.

ance No. 915 be given final passage.

highways.

subdivider (tentative map approved 5/5/81).
Mayor Billig explained that this item had been requested to be withdrawn
by the applicant and that staff and applicant had been.able to resolve
the problem. As the condition of -the amendment dealt with a change in
the sewer line to the rear of some of the houses, applicant dropped the
request for amendment after agreeing to put the sewer line in Augusta
Street and proposed new private street. Five or six of the houses will
require sewer pump for the lower level of these homes.

Council held a public hearing to consider revising the adopted official
building setback lines on Orcutt Road between Broad Street and Johnson
Avenue; City of San Luis Obispo, applicant (continued from 12/1/81 and
1/5/82).
Dave Romero, Public Services Director, explained that at the 12/1/81
hearing Council held testimony and as a result, requested staff modify
wording of the ordinance to permit city reduction of the property
acquisition should the actual construction require a reduced area. The
wording was added in the last sentence under Section 9300.4.9 which the
Council considered at its 1/5/82 meeting. At that time the attorney had
expressed misgivings regarding the legality of adopting the setback line
and enforcing city street widening policy and requested the matter be
continued until he could research the report. As could be seen from the
Attorney's report, the modification of the setback line can be carried
out as first proposed.

Obispo Municipal Code.
Introduced and passed to print on the following roll call vote:

NOES: None
ABSENT: None
8:00 p.m. Mayor Billig declared a recess. 8:15 p.m. City Council
reconvened, all Councilmembers present.
Mayor Billig then reopened the public hearing on item 9 to-allow Mr.
Hamlin who had arrived late at the meeting to speak.
Fred Hamlin expressed his concern that the city did not take property in
the future without proper compensation. This ordinance would change the
setback line moving an additional 55 feet onto private property, and he
did not wish the Council to use the setback ordinance in a manner to
take this land without due compensation.
10. HIGUERA COMMERCE PARK
City Council Minutes
Tuesday, February 2, 1982 - 7:00 p.m.
Page 10
Council continued public hearing to consider the following Planning
Commission recommendations on Higuera Commerce Park:
A. Consideration of final passage of Ordinance No. 916, an ordinance
amending the official zone map of the City to rezone property east
of South Higuera and north of Tank Farm Road from C /OS -20 (Conserva-
tion /Open Space - 20 -acre minimum) to M -SP (Manufacturing, Specific
Plan).
B. Amend the Higuera Commerce Park Specific Plan to provide
subdivision, land -use and property development standards for the
southern 30 acres; Robert Hibschman, applicant (SP 0938). .
C. Amend the Higuera Commerce Park Specific Plan to allowed uses, to
delete certain use - permit requirements and to .make technical
changes; Robert Hibschman, applicant (SP 0983) (continued from
12/14/81).
Geoff Grote, Acting Community Development Director, brought to the
Council's attention the wording on page 10 -48 of the report which read,
"Within the southern 30 acres, no building permits shall be issued until
January 1, 1984. After that date the City shall not issue building
permits for development of more than 15 percent of the area (4.5 acres)
within any one calendar year. Developed area shall include building
coverage plus parking lots, outdoor assembly or storage areas and any
required yards." He also cited the language on page 10 -36 of the report
which read, "Only the large acreage lots near the Tank Farm - South
Higuera and Prado Road - South Higuera intersections would be allowed
one or two driveways each. The limited access character of South
Higuera Street shall be maintained." He then questioned whether the
Council had any changes to those two items. He also cited three other
major features of the revised specific plan: 1) Two land -use subcate-
gories within the northern 50 acres would be merged into a single
category that would be very similar to conventional service - commercial
zoning; 2) the southern acres would be designated for light - industrial
use and subdivided into five relatively large parcels; and 3) the
subdivider of the southern 30 acres would be required to contribute to
the cost of extending Los Osos Valley Road and installing signals at the
intersection of Tank Farm Road and South Higuera Steet.
Councilwoman Dovey requested that wording be added on page 10 -36 to
reflect the driveway locations on the map on page 10 -35.
Mayor Billig declared the public hearing open.
Rob Strong, representing the applicant, stated his client could support
staff's recommendation but would like clarification with regard to
build -out. At this time, the wording was unclear if the 15 percent
allocation per year would be allowed to be accumulated and then
built -out say 30 percent in two years.
Geoff Grote stated that staff's definition would be clear that the
developer would only be allowed 15 percent per year and an accumulation
would not be allowed.
Councilwoman Dovey stated that she would not be opposed to an.accumu-
lation build -out.
Councilman Griffin stated that he could not support this.
Councilman Dunin stated that he would have no problem with a 2 -year
accumulative but it should be no more than that.
Councilman Settle stated that he did not support the rezoning and would
not support a wording change in this case.
Mayor Billig declared the public hearing closed.

the Sacramento area to be in time for the 5:00 p.m. work session. He
would continue to report back to the Council what he could find for
travel arrangements.
' D. Mayor Billig explained that she had received a communication from
the Chairman of the Citizens Advisory Committee asking why the Council
had not acted yet on the report they had submitted for low -cost legal
services. She explained that she did not feel they had submitted it to
the Council in a proper manner as it was attached to the minutes and,
therefore, she had not acted on it.
There was general discussion as to the procedure that should have been
used and that the Chairperson should be notified with an explanation of
procedure.
City Council Minutes
Tuesday, February 2, 1982 - 7:00 p.m.
Page 12
Upon general consensus, it was agreed that a subcommittee of Mayor
Billig and Councilwoman Dovey be requested to write a letter to the
Citizens Advisory Committee outlining the Council's position regarding
low -cost legal services with a copy to the Human Relations Commission
and also explain the procedure for submittal of an item to Council for
action. The Council's primary concern being that the CAC did not
infringe on HRC's territory with regard to which items to be handled.
They were primarily concerned that there was not a duplication of
efforts by another advisory body. '
Mayor Billig explained that she had also received a communication from
the CAC regarding their role in a performing arts center project. The
Committee had asked for clarification regarding Council's interest in
exploring that topic. She stated that as the Council had asked the CAO
to prepare a staff report on the possible uses of the Fremont Theatre,
that she would suggest the CAC provide any input they might have on the
Fremont to the CAO for inclusion in his report to the Council.
After brief discussion and upon general consensus, it was agreed that
the Mayor send a letter to the CAC as recommended.
F. Mayor Billig explained that she had received a communication from
Jim Ross, the Chairman of the SLO Contest Committee for the Foundation
for Responsible, Environmental, and Economic Development (F.R.E.E.D.),
requesting that she serve as a judge on the upcoming San Luis Obispo
Parking Problem Contest. She felt that at this point, that as the
Council would be taking an action on the final parking plan, this could
constitute a conflict of interest and she did not feel it would be
