CITY COUNCIL APR I L 2, 1986
ARROYO GRANDE, CALIFORNIA 1 :00 P.M.
The City Council met in a Study Session with Mayor B'Ann Smith presiding.
Upon roll call, Gouncil Members Matt Gallagher, Dorace Johnson, Gene Moots
and D. G. Porter were present.
Mayor Smith said this was a special meeting for Subdivision Map Tract
1187, which is a 43-lot single family residential subdivision in the "R-
1 Zone.
Public Works Director Paul Karp reviewed the project as approved
now. He said as soon as Joe and Mary Ann Zogata pay their fees they can
record this map with the previous conditions. He said basically it calls
for a drainage plan which would discharge water onto Pearwood Drive with
a bleeder line after it is throttled through a retention basin which would
lower the outflow on Pearwood below projected flows under native undeveloped
conditions. He said the cul-de-sac has to tilt towards the pond and that
creates a difference in grade between the end of this cul-de-sac and the
access to Oak Hill Road of 0 to 7 feet in height. He said when Mr. Zogata
saw the plans being developed he thought that this was objectionable.
Mr. Karp said the City had some common interests in this area also, and
saw an opportunity to preclude a potential maintenance problem with having
to maintain a small drainage pond, another trash rack, chain link fence,
mosquito complaints, etc. He said Mr. Zogata suggested a storm drain to,
and alignment of Pearwood pond, and to make the cul-de-sac the same level
as the adjacent terriin owned by Dick Lemmon. Mr. Karp said one side
note is that some of the alignment of Oak Hill Road lies on the Zogata
property and will probably be fenced off in the future. Mr. Karp said
the staff now supports the new plan which allows the City to remove the
one pond, takes the bleeder off of Pearwood Avenue, and makes the cul-de-sac
line up with Oak Hill Road. He said he had proposed that enough dedication
for extension of Oak Hill Road, between Gularte and Pearwood, be taken
off the Zogata property in the event that development ever occurs on the
Lamoon property. He stated that presently Oak Hill Road is too narrow at
the Pearwood intersection to permit construction of a standard city street.
Council Members Gallagher and Porter asked about Oak Hill Road and
Mr. Karp said the easements are on the Lenron property and the people are
driving partially on the Zogata property right now. City Attorney Art
Shaw said that Mr. L811TOIl still claims that the Stanley Honeycutts do not
have a firm right to use the easement. He said he believed that the court
would eventually give them a defined easement.
Mayor Smith asked if there are any lots of record on the hill now,
and Mr. Karp said there are three houses on top of the hill and two lots
down below on Pearwood. He said that the Lemmon property consists of two
large parcels, one on the Oak Hill Road side of the hill and one on the
Rosewood Lane side of the hill. She said that since there is a driveway
up to the properties, it would be prudent to say that there would be no
road going into Pearwood and the lots would empty onto Gularte Road.
Mr. Karp said the undeveloped land could yield enough homes, if subdivided,
so that two accesses would be needed. He said he had no problem with a
policy statement but thinks the City should get the easement for eventual
construction of Oak Hill Road in the vicinity of Pearwood.
Mr. Karp and Jim Garing of Garing, Taylor Associates, engineers for
the Zogatas, answered concerns and questions of citizens in the audience,
CHRISTINE PHILLIPS of 216 PearwOOd, BILL SCHUH of 115 Rosewood Lane, BILL
OLIVER of 125 Rosewood Lane, ROBERT NEIL of 131 Rosewood Lane, and DON
BEARDEN of 193 Pearwood.
Mr. Karp said that at least the drainage improvement should be done,
and the City should get the right of way to construct a street some day
in the future in the approximate alignment of Oak Hill Road.
The meeting was adjourned at 2:45 P.M.
