of surplus water this year as they did last year (1200 acre feet).. He said

tives. He said he would reply to the County Engineer's correspondence before

taxes; too many fees are piled on top of normal fees.
Following Council discussion, Mayor Smith asked that the item be considered
in a study session, and have input from Staff as to whether enough money is being
paid in Annexation and Development Fees to cover the many and various services
being provided by the City. Mayor Smith said the Study Session would be scheduled
in the near future.
10-B. Brisco Road Improvements.
Councilman Gallagher asked the status of the Brisco Road improvements. Mr.
Mack said all the rights of way had not been obtained, but the project is moving
along toward bid, and the property owner, who has not granted right of way, will
hopefully exchange the right of way fcirsidewalks and concrete improvements. He
said the bids should be submitted within the next 45 days. Council discussed the i
need for sidewalks and stop signs to accommodate the two schools and the library
traffic.
Mayor Smith directed Staff to put the item on the Parking & Traffic Commission's I
Agenda for their next meeting. I
On motion of Councilman Gallagher, seconded by Councilman Hogan, and unani-
mously carried, to approve Consent Agenda Items #8-0, 9-D and 10-B, as recommended.
CONTINUED PUBLIC HEARING: USE PERMIT APPLICATION FOR MASTER SIGNING PLAN FOR I
CASA GRANDE MOTOR INN/MARIE CALLENOER'S RESTAURANT (CIN SIGNS & GRAPHICS)
Planning Director Stan Eisner said the request was for a combined sign
for both businesses and a request to relocate the signs to a point approximately
40 ft. from the intersection of West Branch and Oak Park Road, to make the sign
more visible to the southbound traffic on Highway 101. He said the applicants
proposed locating an 8 ft. high monument style reader board at the site of the
existing sign.
Mayor Smith said this is a continued public hearing and invited comments
from any interested party, either for or against the matter.
CARLOS MOERMAN, 1390 Walter Street, San Luis Obispo, representative of
C/N Signs, said he felt the proposed sign and location would eliminate sign
clutter; and introduced Lee Webb, owner of Casa Grande.
LEE WEBB,850 Oak Park Boulevard, said the former height limit for signs
was 50 ft. but during construction period of the motel, the ordinance was
changed to limit the height of signs to 35 ft. which left the motel with no
visibility from Highway 101 southbound traffic. He said, therefore, a request
to raise the sign was made. He said they have permission from Oak Park Acres
to create an easement to relocate the sign.
No one else spoke, and Mayor Smith declared the public portion of the
hearing closed.
Councilman Millis said he was in favor of the combined sign on one post,
and felt the 30 ft. height limit should be enforced. He said he had no objection
to relocating of the sign. Councilman Gallagher concurred. Councilman Hogan
agreed with having two signs on one standard; but felt the height limit of 38 ft.
should be allowed. Mayor Smith said she had no objection to moving the sign and
agreed with the proposal of having two ~gns on one post.

PUBLIC HEARINGS: . REVISED TENTATIVE SUBDIVISION MAP, TRACT NO. 1132;
AMENDMENT TO ORDINANCE NO. 186 C.S., EXHIBIT "A";
APPLICATION FOR MINOR SUBDIVISION (LOT LINE ADJUSTMENT)
(RANCHO GRANDE - WEST BRANCH STREET BETWEEN OAK PARK ACRES & BRISCO ROAD).
Mr. Eisner recommended the public hearings be opened on both Items 13 and 14
on the Agneda, and he would make one presentation on three separate actions.
Mr. Eisner made the presentation from a posted map, and said the three items
were technical modifications to documents that were already in effect in the City
of Arroyo Grande. He said the first is a modification of the tentative tract map
and one of the conditions of approval on the Rancho Grande project was the conclusion
of an agreement with the Southern California Gas Company for an alignment for their
high pressure ga~line through the project. In order to comply, a revision of the
Tract Map is necessary to reorganize the lots. He said the lot sizes are the same
and the number of lots the same (134), and the density has not changed.
Mr. Eisner said the second aspect is an adjustment of the street right of way
dividing the residential and commercial portions of the property. He said the lot
line adjustment is necessary so that the survey right of way of the two streets
are al igned.
Mr. Eisner said the third part of the discussion is to modify the Ordinance
No. 186 C.5., by replacing the map marked Exhibit "A" to incorporate the changes
if Council approves the revised Tentative Tract Map, and the Minor Lot Line
Adjustment. He said the applicants have requested, the City Engineer has concurred,
and the Planning Commission has recommended to Council a minor change in one of the
conditions that is a part of the Agreement, which is on page four of the Planning
Commission Resolution and which reads:
"The developer is to construct James Way between Rancho Parkway and the
existing development to the following sections: Full width, grading
and minimum drainage; pavement 24 ft. on center of 2" asphaltic concrete
over an approved 6" base; minimum utilities necessary to serve the tract
with water and sewer are not required (these are to be installed by
adjacent property developer - Oak Knolls); curb, gutter and sidewalks on
James Way adjacent to Lots 3D, 31 and 32."
Mayor Smith said the notice of public hearings has been duly published and all
requirements governing hearings have been met and declared the hearings open.
