Minutes: City Council /Redevelopment Agency Meeting Page 4
Tuesday, October 13, 2009
Community Development Director McClish presented the staff report and recommended the
Council: 1) Adopt a Resolution approving changes to the General Plan land use designation for
the purposes of annexation for City owned property in the vicinity of Pearwood Avenue adjoining
the City (GPA 09- 001B); and 2) Introduce an Ordinance to prezone a 7.2 acre property adjoining
the City in the vicinity of Pearwood Avenue for the purposes of annexation (DCA 09 -001 B).
Mayor Ferrara referred to water conservation methods involving the use of rain barrels in
residential developments to collect rainwater and suggested incorporating this method into the
mitigation measures. Director McClish responded that this condition could be added at the time
the final map is approved and noted that the City wants to require this mitigation for all projects
Citywide.
Council Member Fellows referred to the public comment letters received regarding water
availability and usage and asked what the average typical water usage per day for a single family
residence is. Director McClish estimated that the average water usage was approximately 360
gallons per day.
Further comments and questions ensued concerning the open space as it relates to future
maintenance, drainage issues, construction traffic and access, and the status of repaving
Pearwood Avenue.
Mayor Ferrara opened the public hearing.
Harvey Palmer, Pearwood, spoke in opposition of the proposal citing concerns about the condition
of the street, the drainage basin, and past flooding incidents.
Sharon Favareille, Pearwood, expressed concem that the development be limited to four houses;
that there should be a guarantee that the homes would be built and sold; and expressed concern
about the narrowness at the end of the street.
Hearing no further public comments, Mayor Ferrara closed the public hearing.
Council comments ensued in support of the proposals, including acknowledgement of site visits to
view the property and the existing drainage basin; that there would be negligible to zero impacts to
the existing neighborhood; that there would be no impacts to the drain basin and that excavation of
the onsite drainage basin area would increase the capacity of the basin; that there would be
increased maintenance in the drainage basin to avoid clogging of the 36" drain pipe; some concem
about potential visual impacts with the new homes looking down onto existing homes and a
suggestion to move the building envelopes back and to plant trees in the open space for screening;
some discussion regarding the route for construction traffic; that the proposed development for the
site is an appropriate buffer between the higher density residential and neighboring County
property; that the proposed density is much lower than proposed in the past; that there are ways to
mitigate water usage which will be reviewed later; acknowledgement of the public comment letters
received; that the basin will be improved to add to protection from flooding; that the existing Coast
Redwood tree would be protected; that additional homes would not create significant additional
traffic; that there are many positive aspects of the project as an in -fill project which provides
permanent open space; that the annexation will limit future development to the four homes; that if
LAFCO approves the annexation, conditions will be put into place to protect the tree;

acknowledgement that Pearwood Avenue is on the City's pavement management schedule to be
repaved in the Spring; and support for increased maintenance of the drainage. Additional
comments included acknowledgment of concerns expressed based on flooding history; the
improvements that have been installed since that time; that the existing basin has a lot of capacity
and will be monitored more closely; that a covenant would be put in place to preserve the open
space and prohibit additional development; and that the Council is not looking at a specific project
at this time, just to rezone the property and change the land use designation.
Mayor Ferrara thanked staff for coordinating the site visit; acknowledged the 36" pipe that was
installed in the 90's; and asked staff to provide additional information regarding the drainage.
Consultant Rob Strong then reviewed the development and drainage history surrounding the site.
Further comments ensued concerning the general appearance of the basin; that the scrub brush
can be removed and replaced with natural landscaping materials; acknowledgement of the street's
existing condition and an explanation of how the City prioritizes street microsurfacing projects on
newer streets to prevent deterioration; that Pearwood Avenue will require major repaving at a
much higher cost and the project is programmed in the City's capital improvement plan for next
Spring; that the proposal would improve property values for the existing neighborhood; and that
mitigation for water resources, street improvements, and landscaping would come back to the
Council for consideration when the proposed development project comes forward.
Action: Council Member Arnold moved to adopt a Resolution as follows: "A RESOLUTION OF
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ARROYO GRANDE APPROVING CHANGES TO THE

Resolution substantively amending conditions of approval nos. 3 and 10 (drainage easement); 13
(landscaped parkways); 20 (irrigation well -staff request); 39 (HOA responsibilities); 53 (water and
sewer credit for existing buildings); 54 (City to incur costs for consultants); 55 (fees); 100 (rolled

Tentative Tract Map No. 2653); and 2) Appropriate $11,900 from the Drainage Fund for consultant
services associated with review and development of regional drainage concepts, as well as other
items associated with the project.
Community Development Director McClish reviewed the supplemental information distributed to
the Council which included modifications to the conditions of approval based on comments
received by the applicant.
Staff then responded to questions from Council concerning red curbs versus signage; advantages
and disadvantages of a ditch and /or a pipe; explained the intent of the pipe to direct drainage; how
narrowing of the agricultural buffer improves drainage; the proposed fencing; and how drainage will
work at E. Cherry and Branch Mill Road.
Mayor Ferrara opened the public hearing.
Cliff Branch, applicant, expressed numerous concerns including some of the proposed
modifications to the conditions of approval; the regional drainage improvements; the easement
agreement; rising costs for the drainage improvements; liability issues; acceptance of the outfall
structure; having flexibility on the final project design; and stated that he could not pursue the
project without his requested concessions and that until construction documents are approved and
in place, he cannot move forward.
Mike Miner, E. Cherry property owner, spoke in support of the proposal.
Buddy Jaquith, Myrtle Street, spoke in support of the proposal.
Lynn Titus, Lierly Lane, spoke in support of the proposal; however, she expressed concern about
liability issues related to dirt Cherry which is still owned by the residents and is in escrow. She
inquired whether E. Cherry would be used for construction vehicle access and stated the owners
need a guarantee that the road will be maintained. She also asked who is overseeing the project
from the City.
Larry Turner, Noguera Place, spoke in support of the proposal and stated the City should work with
the Dixson Ranch to approve Option B.
Karen Estes, E. Cherry, spoke in support of the proposal.
Jim Dickens, Branch Mill Road, stated that given all the issues surrounding the proposed project
and the multitude of amendments, the Dixson Ranch has always supported reasonable
development to the north and the need to construct a regional drainage project that minimizes
urban flooding and compliments continued agricultural production. He expressed concern that the
some of the approved mitigations have been modified, specifically regarding the buffer and the

fencing; that the applicant is requesting so many concessions; that the project was approved with
mitigation measures over many public meetings and should be maintained; expressed support for
the new drainage plan; however, he noted that the applicant has never talked to the Dixson Ranch
representatives directly; and reiterated that this project has already been approved.
Tony Janowicz, Lierly Lane, spoke in support of the proposal.
Nora Looney, Lierly Lane, spoke in support of the proposal on behalf of the Subarea 2 residents.
Colleen Martin, Olive Street, stated that the proposed amendments are a benefit to the applicant,
not to the City or residents. She expressed concerns about the addition of rolled curbs, the deletion
of the landscaped parkways; maintenance of the bioswale by the homeowners association;
ongoing mitigation monitoring; reduction of the agricultural buffer; and spoke in opposition to any
more changes to this project.
Cliff Branch, applicant, responded to several of the public comments regarding tree mitigation and
recent site work; apologized for not contacting Dixson Ranch representatives and said he would be
happy to speak with them; stated that rolled curbs are not a deal breaker; stated this is a much
better project, but that there are many details to work out; commented on the difficulty of increasing
the agricultural buffer setback and that he cannot delete two more lots.
Hearing no further public comments, Mayor Ferrara closed the public hearing.
Council Member Guthrie supported changes to the road width and removing parking on one side
along E. Cherry; supported allowing rolled curbs within the development and eliminating
landscaped parkways; supported credit on sewer fees for pre- existing improvements; supported
waiver of consultant costs as proposed; supported the drainage design Option B; supported the
culvert; expressed concern that a reduction in the agricultural buffer will set a precedent and asked
if there was another solution; noted that when looking at shorter areas in the buffer in other
locations, there are non conforming issues involved; stated that he was not sure that reducing it
would result in an impact; commented that other issues still pending are of concern; noted that this
should have been designated as a Specific Plan instead of a Neighborhood Plan; and concluded
by stating he was leaning toward approval of the proposals.
In response to a question by Council Member Fellows regarding the benefit of deleting the
landscaped parkways, Mr. Branch explained that the lots and depth were reduced and the design
of the project dictated removal of the parkways.
Council Member Fellows acknowledged Ms. Titus' concerns about liability for E. Cherry; expressed
concerns about the proposed concessions; supported no parking on one side of E. Cherry and
suggested placement of no parking signs; supported allowing rolled curbs; noted that landscaped
parkways are a Village amenity and provide a benefit by breaking up the hardscape; and opposed
a reduction to the size of the agricultural buffer.
In response to a question by Council Member Arnold regarding liability and the outfall issue, City
Attorney Carmel explained the liability and related issues regarding the drainage easement are
being equitably addressed in the comprehensive drainage easement agreement. City Manager
Adams explained that the intent is to have a temporary easement agreement in place and provided
an update on the outfall structure.
Minutes: City Council /Redevelopment Agency Meeting Page 8
Tuesday, October 13, 2009
In response to a question by Council Member Arnold regarding whether reducing the agricultural
buffer would set a precedent, City Attorney Carmel responded no because the Code requires a
minimum 100 foot buffer and each project requiring a buffer is individually evaluated based on
unique facts and circumstances.
Council Member Arnold stated he wanted to see the drainage improvements constructed; he could
support what is being proposed; acknowledged that the liability and outfall issue will be worked out;
could support the reduction in the agricultural buffer and additional landscaping to offset the
decreased buffer area; and supported drainage design Option B.
In response to a question by Mayor Pro Tem Costello regarding modifications to the agricultural
buffer as it relates to the Mitigated Negative Declaration, City Attorney Carmel stated it is a minor
modification which staff sees as substantially compliant with the original approval.
Mayor Pro Tem Costello acknowledged the City is looking for a regional drainage solution, which is
tied to this project; stated the key issue was reduction of the agricultural buffer and that he does
not see this as precedent setting as the project would have a minimum 100 foot buffer; commented
that future owners need to be aware of the City's Right to Farm Ordinance; he could support the
project as proposed, including the proposed modifications to the conditions of approval; and
concluded by stating the City is trading the benefits of acquiring a drainage solution with the
requested concessions.
In response to a question by Mayor Ferrara regarding applicant liability following construction of
the drainage improvements, City Attorney Carmel explained that generally at such time the City
accepts the drainage improvements, it assumes liability, maintenance and operation for that
portion of the project.
Mayor Ferrara acknowledged the City Attorney's explanation regarding the liability issue and noted
the City should never assume liability for a project that is under construction and not in the City's
control; inquired if there were any rolled curbs elsewhere in the City and stated he did not prefer
rolled curbs; acknowledged that the City has worked hard to achieve the 130 foot buffer, however
he was a proponent for flexibility when situations arise; suggested that Lot 21 be conditioned to
place the house as far away from the buffer as possible; suggested a 2.8 ft reduction in lot size as
a compromise to achieve the 130 foot buffer on one side of the project; and supported all other
modified conditions, as well as drainage design Option B.
Discussion ensued concerning the suggestion to reduce the lot sizes by 2.8 feet on one side of the
project and Mr. Branch stated it was not that simple to move lot lines. Following comments,
Director McClish explained that there is a condition of approval dealing with setbacks that was
amended to be consistent with the previously approved Plan EX -2 back in May and that the
condition could be amended to require that Lots 7 and 21 have a ten -foot side yard setback. Mr.
Branch replied that he was fine with that amendment.
Council Member Guthrie inquired if there were any other unresolved issues. Mr. Branch expressed
concern with inspection fees related to the drainage system, as well as the proposed temporary
drainage easement document. Mr. Carmel explained the purpose for the temporary easement

agreement. Director McClish explained that other conditions referred to by the applicant that were
not specifically amended were those conditions that needed an explanation or clarification.
Based on Council discussion, City Attorney Carmel proposed three additional items for the
Council's consideration, as follows: Add condition of approval #148 The applicant shall be
permitted to file phased final maps; Add #72c The applicant shall incorporate a greywater system
into each residential unit within the tract; and recommended the Council approve the proposals
subject to and contingent upon execution of the Grant of Temporary Easement Agreement, which
would run through May 1, 2010 and would allow the City access to the easement for maintenance
and repair of the existing drainage ditch.
Mr. Branch expressed concern about not having had time to review the agreement and he stated
he would only grant the requested easement contingent upon approval of the construction
documents.
Staff provided additional clarification that the purpose of the temporary easement agreement was
to allow immediate access to the drainage ditch for maintenance and repair.
Action: Council Member Guthrie moved to adopt a Resolution, as follows: "A RESOLUTION OF
