TRANSPORTATION PLAN Director Gallop advised that on October 3rd, 1973, in the City Council Chambers in San Luis' Obispo there is to be a meeting on the Transportation Plan being developed for the County of San Luis Obispo. He announced that any persons interested are invited to attend and make known any thoughts they may have in relationship to this planning. He advised that the County has employed an independent consultant to develop the regional transportation plan, and that the consultant will also meet'with each of the cities indivi- dually as well as the County, so everybody will have an opportunity to be involved, and probably, when the element has been .completed, we will adopt it by reference.

Director Gallop reviewed that this property has been a problem for quite sometime particularly the old service station building, which has since been removed. He stated that the owner, Mrs. Vermillion, was aware of the problems and had a very difficult time trying to make the old station structure meet minumum requirements, and that the Ramey's and Mrs. Vermillion are rejuvenating the entire property; putting in underground utilities to the present building which is in good structural condition and renovating it, and they are going to black top the driveway. Director Gallop stated, in his opinion, the Ramey's are doing a good job and he could see no reason why the Use Permit shouldn't be granted, Mr. Ramey, the Petitioner, was present and stated they have rewired the building and it has been brought up to „Code; they have put in the undergrounding and it has been approved by P. G. & E.; they are replastering the building and they have made arrangements to have the black top done, and are taking out the old gas tanks. They have been watering the bank and it is almost green now. He further stated that the shop will be strictly a radiator shop and is a one man business. Arroyo Grande Planning Commission, 10 -2 -73 Page 2 Mr. Barry Green was in the audience and stated he has been tearing down the old building and has seen what they are doing and he feels this will improve the corner quite a bit. There being no further discussion for or against the proposed Use Permit, Chairman Pope declared the hearing closed, Commissioner Goulart pointed out that one of the problems connected with the previous business on this property was having cars parked on the property for extended periods of time, and suggested the Use Permit restrict the stor- age.of vehicles to those waiting for service.
