PUB LI C PROPOSED CHANGE OF.ZONING'CLASSIFICATIONFOR HAROLD LEE - JAMES WAY
HEARING Planning Director Stan Eisner said that this was a request to amend
the Zoning Ordinance by changing the Lee property from IRA-B2" Residential
Agricultural District to IRA-B1-D" Residential Agricultural District combined
with Design Development District. He said the property is located immediately
adjacent to property recently rezoned from IRA-B3" to IRA-B1-D" (Lauthbury).
He said that at the time of the Lauthbury rezoning, it was pointed out that at
such time as the Lee property was rezoned and the appropriate land division
filed, the necessary dedication to complete the full width improvement of
James Way would be accomplished. He said the Planning Commission felt that
the reduced lot area would not be consistent with the land use pattern on
James Way and recommended denial of the rezoning.
Mayor Smith said the Notice of Public Hearing had been duly published
and all requirements met for this public hearing and invited the public to
address the Council.
OAVE RHINER, planner for San Luis Engineering, representing Mr. Lee,
referred to his September 10, 1985, letter asking for a two-week continuance
of the Public Hearing. He said he would prefer to speak on the issue at the
next City Council Meeting, when Mr. Lee would be in attendance.
MARILYN CAFARCHIA of 241 James Way said she lives directly across from
the property in question, and has two acres of land. She said the Lee lot
should remain RAB2, and that James Way does not have small lots.
BILL WEITKAMP of 251 James Way spoke against the rezoning, saying it would
be inconsistant with James Way lots at present.

PUBLIC PROPOSED CHANGE. OF ZONING CLASSIFICATION-RON OLSON, E.A. WICAL-HUASNA ROAD
HEARING Mr. Eisner said this is a resubmission of a request for Planned Development
zoning for 22 unit condominium project designed as a "cluster" of 11 buildings
on the northwest protion of the property, arid adjacent to the Wildwood Ranch.
He said the overall density of the project is 2.75 units per acre, which
falls within the Low Density Residential category of the General Plan which
permits up to 4.5 units per acre, He said the revised proposal includes
techniques for dealing with on-site drainage. He said it is a three-part
application, a zone change, a change in the Tentative Tract Map, and a an
Architectural Review. He said the Planning Commission had recommended approval.
After Council questions from staff, Mayor Smith said the Notice of Public
Hear i ng had been du 1 y publ i shed and a II requirements met for this public
hearing and invited the public to address the Council.
RON OLSON, agent for Elvin A. Wical, said entrance to the property would
be through a lot owned by Dr. Wical. He said they had tried to solve the
drainage problem in the neighborhood, and explained their plan for carrying
the drainage to Arroyo Grande Creek.
RICH PORTESI of 255 Oro Drive said the property does not have the
proper access for a development of that size.
MIKE MINOR of 316 Oro Drive demonstrated at the paper easel what the
property looks 1 i ke. He said the land owner had a chance to make better use
of this land.
GERMANO DlCARLO of 515 Platino Lane said that the neighbors trusted that
the zoning would remain the same in the area, and that there is no obligation
to meet one man's needs in the matter.
TOM MEENZHUBER of 247 Oro Drive said that traffic is still a big problem,
and new development should blend in with with the neighborhood.
JOYCE MALONEY of 263 Oro Drive said that her family had counted cars
on Oro Drive between 4 and 6 p.m. one evening, and that 96 cars passed by.
She said there is a serious traffic danger.
LINDA FILER of 231 Oro Drive said she was in full agreement with the
others who had spoken.
CHUCK CHELQUIST of 286 Oro Drive said he agreed with Council Member Porter
who said that the numbers of cars grow in condominium situations. He said
nobody objects to quality homes in limited numbers on the property.
JEAN METZ of 507 Platino Lane said that she is in opposition to the
project primarily because of access on Platino Lane. She said the traffic
situation is bad, and that Platino Lane has no gutters and sidewalks. She
said she recently came from San Jose where traffic problems and street capaci-
ties were not taken into consideration.
NANCY GERRISH of 823 Plata Road said drainage, traffic, density and tree
removal were the four major issues. She said the Council has to determine
what the city's residents' needs are and then ask how that development affects
their needs. She asked those in the audience opposing the rezoning request
to stand. A majority in the Council Chamber audience stood.

planned development, and that the three adjoining properties have higher

CAROL JONES of 743 Huasna Road said she is concerned about the drainage
coming down Huasna Road and doesn't want to end up living in a catch basin.
She said she 1 iVes' on an emergency road where there would have to be an easement
for drainage and has not as yet been approached by the proponents of the
project. She said she is concerned about the road being used as emergency
access.

problems.
Mayor Smith called for others to speak, and when no one came forward, she
declared the hearing closed.
Council Member Gallagher objected to the project on the basis of density.
Council Member Johnson said drainage is really a problem, she likes minimum
grading, and is concerned about a 28-foot wide street. Council Member Porter
said that the proposed drainage system is a good one but that there is no way
to get around the traffic problem imposed on Platlno lane. Mayor Smith said
she is against open drainage channels, does like the clustering of the units
on top but that the density is too great.
City Attorney Shaw said that the Council had received a document prepared by
residents in the neighborhood of said property, and on motion of Counci 1 Member
Johnson, seconded DY Counci I Member Ga 11 agher, the document tit 1 ed "01 son Rezon i ng

RESOLUTIONS ACCEPTING REAL PROPERTY FOR CIVIC CENTER
Mr. Mack said that when the City gets to the point that it is accepting
real property the escrow companies require that the Mayor be authorized to
accept the property. He said that this is a technicality, and does not mean :
that the City has bought the real property. He said in the Mallory property
case he has offered $360,000.00. He said the Bank of America has accepted the
offer, placed it in escrow, and it is going before the court for approval because
it is a trustee sale. He said a court date has not been set, but probably will
be September 21, 1985. He said in the case of Lokkart and Zimmerman properties
nothing has changed, and he would exercise these options only after the Mallory
property sale was approved by the court. He said he is still negotiating with
the Carpentiers on their property. He recommended approval of the Resolutions.
