Tom Shrode, 691 Lancaster, asked why the City doesn't share the costs, since-.the improvements would-go on City 'right of way and as some property owners involved would additionally have to: put up retaining walls when the grade is cut for the improvements. Director of Public Works Anderson replied". that the City's policy is to just provide the engineering and grading.- Joyce Lubben, 680 Lancaster,- and Mrs. Zsadanyi asked whether it would be necessary to install sidewalks as there. is room to walk on'the dirt and installation of just curbs and gutters would separate the children from the traffic.- Mr. Zsadanyi CITY COUNCIL APRIL 12, 197 ARROYO GRANDE., CALIFORNIA PAGE 3 suggested that. a toll be charged to the families whose children need to walk in this area, which would at least help pay for the-7~ interest.

After Council discussion, the City staff was directed to study the matter further,. in view of the various suggestions for changing City policy regarding improve- meet assessment districts in-this particular case, and that. the Council_be _ presented with a report, at its next regular meeting, on the minimum requirements for curb and gutter installation and the safe passage of children in this area: CONTINUATION OF PUBLIC HEARING - ZONING ORDINANCE AMENDMENTS & ESTABLISHMENT OF "O', "S-F" AND "P-F" DISTRICTS Administrator Butch reviewed that the public hearing and consideration of amendments to the Zoning Ordinance and establishment of "O", Open Space Zoned District; "S-F", Secondary Flood Plain Zoned District; and "P-F" Primary Flood Plain Zoned District, was. continued to thus meeting..

He strongly favored. combining districts as the more restrictive would prevail..
