Minutes 1977-05-31340 CITY COUNCIL ARROYO GRANDE,. CALIFORNIA MAY 3t, 1977 7:30 P.M. The City Council met in regular adjourned meeting in Room 100 of .the Arroyo Grande High School, with Mayor Pro Tem Millis presiding. Council Members Spierling, Schlegel and Gallagher are present along with City Admini- strator Butch and the City Clerk. Mayor de Leon is absent. Mayor Pro Tem Millis led the Pledge of_Allegiance to our Flag. TOWN MEETING FOR PUBLIC INPUT RE. FUTURE OF CITY Mayor Pro Tem Millis made opening remarks, stating the purpose of the meeting, .which is for the City Council to listen to the people's ideas for what direction they would like to see the City go in the future, to include identi- fication of problem areas and also possible solutions they might suggest. He stated that at subsequent study sessions, the Council will discuss the concerns brought forth at this and subsequent town meetings and Council action regarding said concerns would be published. He requested that persons speaking state their name and. residence address, after which Mayor Pro Tem Millis declared the Town Meeting open for public comment. The following persons were present and commented on various matters, as summarized. KEVIN. PENCE, Corralitos Canyon Road, Chairman of the "Community Pride" Program of the Los Allegros 4-H Club, urged people to register to be eligible to vote, and stated he had postcard registration forms available for anyone wanting them. IRENE ELLIOT, 1011 Huasna Road, discussed development of all available open-space land in Santa Clara and her concern that this will happen here. She suggested that some of the smaller agricultural parcels be purchased by the City and made into small parks, providing said agricultural parcels are no longe r economical to farm. JIM SCRIVANI, 201 Whiteley Street, hears the problem is that farming is being taxed on .the basis of potential use of land rather than existing use, which he feels is unfair. He suggested the City buy farmland and rent it out to farmers for farming to protect it. He asked what pressure could be put on who at State and County levels, to prevent the building of housing lots all around the City. He also stated that a traffic congestion problem is being created because of the Lopez Recreational area and. what could be done to control this? DOROTHY EGER, 383 Walnut, stated her confUSion with the recent agri- cultural lands election. She stated her feeling that the "newcomers" to the City have no right to say they want it to stay a quiet community. She then spoke about a piece of property she had contemplated buying, but the front portion is zoned "H-S".and the back part is "A-1", which parcel would do no one any good because it hadn't been used for agricultural use in many years and is inacces- sible; and the front part is too small to do anything-on. She felt this was unfair to the owner of the land, to be told. he can't build on that `or change the back portion to "H-S". She feels that each parcel of land needs to be analyzed separately. The property owner of a half "H-S" and half "A-1" can't do anything with it and so there is no improvement one way or the other for him or the community. On .the other hand, a totally "A-1" parcel that is in harvest and is being used and of value to the people should remain in that capacity. She was also concerned about buying to where it is presumably "R-1", "R-2", and then all of a sudden you see instead of one family with normally two cars coming out of a garage,-overnight seeing twenty units go up and 40 cars coming out of the driveway.:. She felt this was an unhappy situation. for-the whole neighborhood even though it's- supposedly progress. TOM RUNELS, 586 Valley Road, feels Councilman Spierling's proposal for a Committee to study the agricultural land situation is valid. He agrees that each parcel must be considered on its own merits. Some large parcels in the City are farmable, productive lands, but they are also assessed with sewer and water district assessments and they are part of the assessed value that make up the community. He stated that if the citizens want to reduce the value of the farmland and put it at the value. of 1960, some reimbursement will have to be made for the difference in value, or say that all the property in the City has to be sold for what it was worth in 1960. He has heard a tot of controversy saying the farmers are going to get rich by selling their real estate, which may be true, but many of these people have owned this property for _50 years. The farm people don't want to go out and `3~1 CITY COUNCIL ARROYO GRANDE, CALIFORNIA MAY 31, 1977 PAGE 2 sell their land, but they are going to be forced to if the tax situation continues to escalate. As far as an Ag Preserve goes, he pointed out that the City has an Ag Preserve Program at the present time, but thought it might be wise to reduce the term from ten years down to five year terms. ART GRIEB, Trustee for real estate across the street from the school, quoted taxes and how no Ag Preserve or row crops would make it economically feasible to keep it in agriculture. Something has to be done with the land or let the City or citizens pay for the difference of the price for which they could sell it for development and keeping it in farming. PEARL COLE, 137 W. Branch, reminded the people about the Agricultural Study Committee that had done quite a bit of research and she hoped that if another committee is set up, it will consider what was already studied by the previous committee. .PAUL HADDOX, 587 Valley Road, stated it doesn't do a person any good to own valuable property unless he either sells it or borrows money on it. He described property he owns which was just appraised, which is pasture land mostly and a little farming land which appears to be worth a lot, but there is no income. He stated that they say its the new people who want to save things, but that the problem is caused by the. new people. If the new people didn't come here we wouldn't have any of these problems. The taxes on a house and lot will not begin to pay for the services for the people that live in them. If we have a more dense population, the taxes are going to go up, and they'll also go'up if we save our farmland. It has become a luxury to live here. Looking to the future, he proposes that we not import any water from out of our watershed, then our population will be limited by our water supply and that will help save the farm- land. ROBERT DEYEL, 812 Arcadia Drive, disagrees that problems are created by all the new people that come here, stating he came here to replace a person who died. He asked what about the younger people .who are going to have new ones that come into the organization, are they going to be penalized because they were born? NANCY CONROW, 338 Walnut Street, wanted to know what the City's. limit is on putting apartments in. Does the City have any limits on the number of apartments it will have~ion Elm Street and in the area? She thinks a line should be drawn on how many can be built there. MAYOR PRO TEM MILLIS interjected that that area is zoned for apartments. MRS. CONROW didn't think for as many as there are now though, stating there should be a limit. BILL McCANN, 428 Tanner Land, discussed the water situation, agreeing that the population growth must be tied in with the water supply. He stated there is not as much water at Lopez as we think. He named various subdivisions being developed in the City now, which will .create approximately 2200 new dwelling units, either in the works or proposed. He stated the City has eontracted for approxi- mately 2290 acre feet of water per year. .This yea r, he stated the City will use somewhere between 1600-1700 acre feet of water, leaving approximately 650 .acre feet in excess. He asked how many dwelling units can we have with the amount of water we have left? Right now~he stated~Arroyo Grande is using a half an acre of ..water for every family in .the City. Using those particular figures, he stated you find we can only have approximately 1300, 1400, 1500 at the most new dwelling units here in the City. He repeated that on the drawing board right now .we're talking about 2200 more dwelling units and that doesn't even take into consideration the 300 or 400 acres of agricultural land that we have in the City that is not even proposed for development at this time, but will sooner or later. He stated we either have to control this other development to a certain .degree or start pump- ing ground water and blending it with our Lopez water. He stated this creates other problems such as for the farms, who rely on ground water for their irrigation. He asked whether we are going to deplete their (farmers). water supply to supply new developed residences. He stated~~the people of Arroyo Grande have been paying a premium for their Lopez water just to take pure Lopez water and are therefore paying twice as much. as Grover .City because Grover blends its water.. He stated that if we continue with all this development, we're certainty going to have, to start blending water. He suggested that before we go rezoning any more property, 34~ CITY COUNCIL ARROYO GRANDE, CALIFORNIA MAY 31, 1977 PAGE 3 let's find out how much property we already- have now in A.G. and its particular zoning, and how many dwelling .units could actually be built at this time without changing any zoning at .all. He thinks we'll find that we're getting pretty close to the 1300, 1400 dwelling units right now without rezoning any property at all. He suggested the City make a long, hard study of all the undeveloped property in the City; what its present zoning is; how many dwelling units per acre is allowed now and how many dwelling units could be built under our present zoning; and that we have this information before we continue to rezone any other properties; and take into consideration any large lots that would be capable of lot splits into 2, 3 or more properties. MORGAN MATHEWS, 838 Virginia Drive, disagreed with Mr. McCann regarding our paying more for water than Grover City does. He stated our water supply is geared for approximately 30,000 people; our sewer is already set up for 20,000. We have 9400 people in Arroyo Grande, so naturally-we're paying twice as much for water and sewer. He feels we should have slow and orderly growth until we reach the 20,000 people mark so we fully utilize our sewer and water. After that we have to take a long hard look whether we want to spend another $10 or $20 million to improve our water or sewer situation. But until that point, we have to pay for that water not being used. He stated he is no growth and always has been, but he is also realistic and as long as you have unused land, water and sewer, and as long as inflation is going to continue,. we have to have some growth.in order to keep our taxes where they are today. If we went to a no growth .situation tomorrow, he feels that in five years our taxes will be tripled. We have to be realistic about the situation and how we can keep our older people here, people who are on welfare, retired. We have to look to the whole population and not just the few of us who can afford the inflation, higher taxes and that sort of thing. We have so many people coming here who are retired. PAUL REYNOLDS, Olive Lane, County, spoke regarding the City's water supply, and th.e two opposing views just heard. He stated his understanding is that the City is set up to supply 20,000 people with water from Lopez. He would like the representatives to the water district to put some facts together between the two sets of figures given by Mathews and McCann. MADELEINE STEEL, 1598 Hillcrest, stated her understanding and apprecia- tion of the format at this meeting, where the Council just listens, but stated her hope that the questions she is hearing presernted by people, will be answered at future meetings. MAYOR PRO TEM MILLIS reiterated the purpose of the meetings and that following the Town Meetings the Council will have study sessions and consider taking action on the concerns. CONRAD GRIEB, Arroyo Grande, felt the City should be built within its limits and then take in more land, instead of jumping like done for Valley Gardens, which he cJoesn't feel does the City any good. He said to build within the City and then out. He stated it is not practical to farm smaller parcels and the City should be careful about expanding outside. IDA MAE GRIEB, Registered Voter of the County, connected with the Grieb Estate in the City, stated her feeling that most of the people who objected to the farmers are not looking at it in a stop the growth or no growth-area. She feels they are just not wanting the fa~nmers to make a profit. She asked what if the shoe were on the other foot? They pay taxes on their farmland and she felt objectors have a selfish attitude. LEE DEAN, 820 Eaton Drive, stated he was just here to learn and find out what is developing in .this, his and his wife's adopted community. They are impressed with the farm atmosphere community leading out to where they live and they are desirous of having that rural atmosphere maintained if at all possible. He appreciates being here. MARIE CATTOIR, 195 Orchid Lane, read is happy with the outspoken newcomers. She etc., would be as refined to the extent the newcomers. She feels legislation is necess~ water, etc., similar to what Pismo Beach is sumption for the future should be clarified a prepared statement indicating she doesn't feel that Oak Park Acres, plans are if it hadn't been for the 3ry for buildings to pay for sewer, charging. She feels that water con- and asked what happened to the salt --343 CITY COUNCIL MAY 31, 1977 ARROYO GRANDE, CALIFORNIA PAGE 4 water intrusion which was the reason given for putting in Lopez Dam. Regarding the Lawler Rezoning matter, she stated her fee ling that it'could have been resolved if he (Lawler) had been allowed to handle it himself.. She had talked to two Planners, with one admitting he had not viewed the site itself, only having seen a map; and another Planner did not receive an agenda packet in time for .sufficient study by the time the matter came up. She also felt that more attention needs to be given to driveways and hillsides so no more Crown Hill or Le-Point Street problems occur. LEROY SARUWATARI, 512 Launa Lane, spoke regarding Councilman Spierling's suggested .Agricultural Lands Study Committee, stating he would like to see such a committee formed and that said committee start with the material gathered by the previous Agricultural Lands Study Committee. PAUL HADDOX, stated that looking from the trailer park (on Valley Road) is really a nice view, but looking from below onto the tin buildings: looks bad, without even trees around it. TON RUNELS, spoke on the water matter. He stated that if the City used alt its water supply, the farmer would be the first one to be restricted from water use. He stated that Grover City, Pismo and Shell Beach, Oceano and Avila all pull their water from the same A.G. water basin. The reason that Arroyo Grande is paying a higher rate for water-is they contracted for more so the Lopez Dam could be built. If A.G. hadn't contracted for more the dam wouldn't have been built and we wouldn't have the water we have today. With the develop- ment in the outlying areas in ,t he county, who are outside of the water district, are pumping from the ground water basin and' sooner or later we will have to have imported water or there won't be any coming from the faucets and none to irrigate the crops. He stated you can have the best land in the world, but without water you'll have nothing but a dust bowl. CHRIS CURZON, 123 E. Branch, felt that the bike situation on Branch is bad and suggested that more bike racks be placed at the City Park behind City Halt and on the street, such as the one at the ice cream place. He suggested maybe one rack could even take up just one parking space on the street. JIM SCRIVANI, questioned the population. estimate of 20,000. He felt this was close to the population of the South County. He stated that the other cities will grow too and will want to contract for more water, so maybe we should be looking forward to building another dam. MORGAN MATHEWS, stated the South County right now is over 40,000. He explained that the other cities undercontracted for Lopez Water and as mentioned, if this City had not contracted for the excess, the dam would not have been built. He said that until the City grows to the point of absorbing this excess water, it will pay more for it than Grover City and Pismo Beach. ART GRIEB, suggested making check dams along the creek and pumping it back to upper Arroyo instead of letting it go into the ocean. He stated the line could run along the creek without undergrounding. JOANN BLASHAW, Tally Ho Road, wanted to know who a'"newcomer" is, she has been here for four years; and further that we are paving the way for newcomers with new apartments and she is concerned on the impact this has on the schools. ALICE CARAS, Sierra Drive, also indicated her concern regarding the school overcrowding problem, stating she gets a feeling of great crowding on the schools. MARY JANE MONTGOMERY, 533 Orchard, stated she is one of the "old timers" and that she is awfully-sorry ..that about 25 years ago we just didn't lock the door and say okay, this is it. She stated it was a beautiful community and loves it, but that there is no way to stop growth here, but that we have to do it well planned and with thinking. PEARL COLE, reminded the people in the audience that most of the children coming into the Lucia Mar Unified School ,District are coming from the outlying areas and not from within the City of A.G. She stated that A.G.'s actual parti- cipation in the elementary and high school is less and has been on the decrease, so we have a problem now we have to work with not only within the City, but also .344 CITY COUNCIL ARROYO GRANDE, CALIFORNIA MAY 31, 1977 PAGE 5 with the outlying communities where our that when she moved into this community child. She asked how many children have She said not everyone is a newcomer and children stay in the community. problem comes from., She stated further about 24 years ago, she brought one they contributed to this community. she would like to see some of the lovely ELLEN JOHNSON, 163 So. Elm Street, stated she came here about 45 years ago. She paid a thousand dollars for her 2+ acres at that time and the last appraisal was a hundred thousand, so she is very much concerned about the increased property, as it doesn't make any sense,. She spoke about the trees on Grand Avenue, feeling they are not cared for very well and the wells are full of debris. She stated the City planted Magnolia trees along South Elm and doesn't see how the City will be able to take care of them if they don't take care of the ones on Grand Avenue. Furthermore:,-she doesn't feel this is the time for beautification such as cleaning the sidewalks with water and planting new trees, because of the water shortage. ELLA HONEYCUTT, 560 Oak Hill, indicated her concern with the new develop- ments and good top soil being buried. She felt a committee is needed to work with the Council to set up some guidelines to preserve the top soil, such as was done on Loomis .Heights, where Mr. Miller scraped the top soil off where street grading was to be done, and put the top soil back on the land. She feels this can stilt be done in La Barranca, stating it's a shame to put good top soil for a road bed. She further felt that we have two monstrosities on Crown Hill with 29 more being planned and she would like to see a citizens group formed so that wherever they are going to plan apartments, people from that area can review the plans with the developers to make sure the development fits in. Other problems she sees with the Crown Hill development is the height limit. She stated the City also has drainage problems, some of which are caused from developments out- side of the City. There are so many problems she stated, that she feels citizens' advisory groups are needed to the Architectural Review Board and other different committees, so we don't have all these problems. She felt the rest of Crown Hilt should be changed back to "R-1" housing. She asked whether the old houses would be taken down and apartments put up. She also stated that the farmers should get first choice of water as he is the backbone of the community. JOHN TAYLOR, 680 Valley Road, stated what he would like to see happen in A.G. is to provide as much assistance and positive planning to maintain agri- culture and what development that does need to be pl-aced, directed away from the valley floor to the less desirable areas, such as north of Highway 101 near where the County's Regional Government Center will be. IRENE ELLIOTT, commented on the over-population of schools, stating that in the Santa Clara area and other places that before the developers go in, they have to provide land for schools and build the buildings and do things of this kind before the development is accepted by the City Council. This is one way, it seems to her, of having the people moving into an area also contribute to the costs of the schools by making them provide the buildings. GREG PATTERSON, Grover City, said he was. hoping to come to this meeting and hear a lot of the agriculture people who are stuck with the land that they can't pay for and speak. He would like to hear people discuss. having a choice between supporting farmland and keeping it like this, or it's all going to turn into Orange County. It's all going to fill up with housing so you're going to have to do one thing or another and you have to decide it now, because five years from now it will be too late. MADELEINE STEELE, seconded Mrs. Montgomery's remarks in reference to mistakes having been made in the past, but feels we should not dwell upon those, but go ahead and see what we can do in the future to improve the situation. She stated her feeling that the plan now being. considered by the Council for fees from developers for the schools, in the amount of around $300 is jiust a token fee, feeling it should be $5,000 as is charged in some other cities. TOM RUNELS, said it doesn't matter how much we charge the developer, as the. consumer will end up paying for it. MARY JANE MONTGOMERY, agrees that the two places on Crown Hill are awful, especially in front of the Pawling Historical House. She asked that something be done about the rest of it. 345 CITY COUNCIL MAY 31, 1977 ARROYO GRANDE, CALIFORNIA PAGE 6 B'ANN SMITH, 548 Crown Hill, spoke about the development occurring on Crown Hill, indicating she is happy to hear others also stating their displeasure with the units, pointint out she had been before the Council several times before they went up. She clarified that there are not two but five units, with about 29 more units below that planned. She does. not see where there will be any .parking. She doesn't feel these are garden apartments. She would like to see stricter laws governing the "garden apartments" in this town. She feels the development on Crown Hill will look like San Francisco and if she had wanted to live in San Francisco, she would have. CORA HIGDON, 183 Fair View Drive, stated her opposition to the Crown Hill developments and the current Brighton Avenue development proposal. JIM SCRIVANI, wishes to see a tree ordinance enacted, to prevent the removal of trees such as is being done on Crown Hill. ADMINISTRATOR BUTCH stated we do have a tree ordinance, but it does not restrict tree removal on private property. ART GRIEB, mentioned the tree removal on Fair Oaks Avenue. KARL HOGAN, 1255 Poplar, made a suggestion in regard to trees. He said you only have about a gallon to five gallon capacity around a tree and if you buy a jet and stick it in three feet you can put in a specified amount in a specified amount of time with no run off and it doesn't create extra grass grow- ing on the surface and saves water. He also doesn't believe a community°should be no growth to the point where you tell him that he can't move to this town, or he'll find some way to get in because there really must be something good about it. It really draws attention and he feels it's poor advertisement. He also feels that if we tell a person that he can't put a mobile home on any- thing less than 10 acres, if then a spot is picked to put them on, we can put trees around them to help divide if off, but he himself doesn't claim the right to tell a person the type of house he can live in either, although the new apartments where they are up too high and these kinds of things should be squared away for the vicinity of the town they're in and match in architecture. ELLA HONEYCUTT, stated that the City has been growing at a 3i rate and that if they keep this up, it keeps the local people employed and not pull in outside labor. She also felt that things need to be worked out to help the farmer, suggesting a 1t tax rate to help them, by paying the difference to him between developable land and farmland. Thls is working in other areas. MARY JANE MONTGOMERY, stated that things have changed so much in the last few years and she wants what we had. JEFF JOHNSON, 708 Sennett Avenue, sees no way to stop growth and stated we need to define rural atmosphere first. The only way to keep open space, he feels, is to keep housing dense. KARL HOGAN, spoke in regard to 1~ acres and 5 acres limitations, and pointed out that the larger the lot, the more parcels it can be split into in the future, when population demands it. He felt that today we can get a more orderly growth if its broken up into lot sizes for single family residences and we'll have 5 to 6 families living on this acre of land now. But you can have 50 families living on it in an apartment house, which is happening in his neighborhood, which really gets to be over done. He is not against apartments as such, but feels they should be scattered out more. CONRAD GRIEB, recollected a story told him by his father of a conversa- tion between Mr. Beckett and Mr. Hodges. Mr, Beckett had .said the growth is going to be here, solid from Arroyo Grande to the ocean, that there's nothing to stop it and its going to grow. And Mrs. Hodges always laughed at that, saying it couldn't be, it couldn't be. PAUL HADDOX, suggested that we allow small ag preserves--maybe three acres. ~ 34fi CITY COUNCIL ARROYO GRANDE, CALIFORNIA "MAY 31, 1977 PAGE 7 ELLEN JOHNSON, stated her feeling that we seem to have a division of people here--some want to grow and some don't. She said it was too bad for those who don't want to progress that we can't provide a place for their horse and buggy so they can stay there---that's the way they like it, that's the way they remember it and evidently some of them still want it that way, but the community is bound to grow and. doesn't see how you can possible stop it. She doesn't understand what brings people here--no payroll, work, etc. She felt it must be the climate and that it is a desirable community. PEGGY PORTER, 413 .California Street, asked how many more town meetings wilt be held before answers will be given to some of the remarks. MAYOR PRO TEM MILLIS explained that a second Town Meeting will beheld Wednesday, June 8th, at which time it will be determined if there is enough interest to hold a third and maybe fourth Town Meeting if -the people so desire. After the last town meeting, a study session will be held by the Council to study a list of the compiled concerns and the public will be able to ask questions and hopefully some actions will be taken on the concerns. PEGGY PORTER, reviewed how a Chamber of Commerce sponsored Community° Congress had been handled where concerns were discussed in groups and-she hoped this would be done again, feeling a group to group basis would be more feasible as the same questions may come up again and again at subsequent Town Meetings. PAUL REYNOLDS, stated he is impressed by a lot more common thinking than he thought existed. He thinks the group is saying, as he has heard it, that there is going to be growth and we might as well accept that, and°that'' that growth should be within some kind of bounds. Therefore, what we are looking for the future of A.G. is to define those bounds. And that it seems that what everyone is saying is that if we can't stop growth, make it quality growth. There is a lot of thought about rural atmosphere and open spaces and green land and it seems to him that the most important. open space is between one kitchen window and another kitchen window. He said when we take our most valuable asset of land and start building homes or apartments or condominiums or garden, or whatever, and you put them one right next to the other with the density concentrated in one area so that you have the open spaces whether they're agricultural or .hillsides where somebody within those densely built places to look out upon, what you're really building is slums. He thinks we should give some real thought to using the land to the point of spreading out our dwelling units, with some density whereby the character will be preserved withim these areas that people are living as well as those outside. He feels there has been some real poor quality development within the City, not only residential, but commercial along Grand Avenue some of it. BILL LANGWORTHY, Printz Road, County, hears shades Cif opinions on what growth rate should be. How should it be attained? How many peop-le can our water accommodate? He said we have to consider water in the size we will grow to. No purpose is served, he said, in thinking about the past mistakes. DOROTHY EGER, stated she was impressed with "quality building" term used, but doesn't want the type of quality building done in Florida. JEFF JOHNSON, stated we have to come up with a reasonable rate of growth, not just the present water supply as a guideline, because desalinization of water could become a fact and then there will be no limit. to the water supply. ELLA HONEYCUTT, stated there is a geod book put out by the State of California which tells what cities and counties are doing and there are some really fantastic ideas. PAUL HADDOX, stated he knows we can import water, desalt sea .water and reclaim sewage, but d.oesn't think it's worth it. FRED STEELE, 1598 Hillcrest, stated his concern is money. He stated the City budget will be coming up .which will be $3.3 million grid roughly, if we have 3300 households, that's $1,000 for each home, which looks like an awful lot of money to be spent. He feels this is growth inducing and can't understand it because many homes are only paying $700 taxes and still the City is going ahead with spending $1,000 per each household. He hopes that everyone searches out and watches every penny. - -347" CITY COUNCIL ARROYO GRANDE, CALIFORNIA MAY 31, 1977 PAGE 8 MAYOR PRO TEM MILLIS pointed out that the City this year is anticipating the receipt.. of about $400,000 in property tax. So if we divide the 3300 into that, it comes out about $110 or $115 per household, not $1,000. He said the $3.3 million represents money-that the City has received in federal government Revenue Sharing money that has been saved up, etc. It's not alt property tax. TOM. RUNELS, stated his feeling that one of the determining factors of the growth rate will be the County Tax Assessor. MORGAN MATHEWS, commented on Sales Tax and stated he would like to see Arroyo Grande get to the point where they keep most of their sales tax dollar at home. He stated most people spend it in San Luis Obispo or Santa Maria as determined by a survey made in 1974. If we-had more retail sales support here, it would help. MAYOR PRO TEM MILLIS thanked the audience for coming tonight, fee ling it was a worthwhile and constructive meeting. On behalf of the Council, he thanked the people for their comments and assured them the comments would be followed through on at study sessions. He also thanked the Lucia Mar Unified School District and Arroyo Grande High School for allowing this meeting to be held here. The next Town Meeting will be June 8th at 7:30 P.M. at the Ocean View Elementary School. ADJOURNMENT On motion of Councilman Schlegel, seconded by Councilman Spierling and unanimously carried, the meeting adjourned at 9:30 P.M. until 7:30 P.M. on June 8, 1977 at the Ocean View Elementary School.
