Oavis to the position of City Clerk for the City of Arroyo Grande. NIPOMO MESA SURPLUS PROPERTY SITE (BRUSH POPPERS) Mr. Mack said the City owns property' on Nipomo Mesa that is currently leased to the Brush Poppers Riding Club, and recommended that the property be declared surplus, that an appraisal be obtained on the property, that a six month period be provided to the Brush Poppers where they would have option to purchase the property at appraisal price. He explained that the lease with Brush Poppers expires in 1987 and that the property could not be offered for sale until after expiration of the lease. He added that in lieu of that, the property, with the consent of the County, might be eligible for trade for County property located wi thin the Ci ty of Arroyo Grande. He said the property or money could assist toward the development of a Civic Center at a later date. Councilman Vandeveer said he had pictures taken at the Brush Poppers Bar-B-Que and shared the pictures with Council. He said the City spends approxi- mately $367,000.00 a year on sports; and spendS nothing on Brush Poppers. He said of some 20 or so Hall of Fame riders from California, six are from Arroyo Grande; and he would be absolutely opposed to release of that property from the function it is now serving. He said he would be in favor of supporting a trade, value for value, of County property. RONALO KIRBY, President of Brush Poppers, said they are a non-profit organization and could not buy the property; and asked if the City had other surplus property. Mr. Mack assured him the City does have other surplus property. Councilman Millis said no appraisals could be made by the Ci ty without authorization from the City Council. -_._~- -- - . - ~. CITY COUNCIL MARCH 13, 1984 ARROYO GRANDE, CALIFORNIA PAGE THREE. Councilman Hogan said he was not in favor of declaring this property nS . surplus. Councilman Millis asked City Attorney Shaw to investigate and confirm the legality of the City's plan to sell the Property. Mr. Shaw said if the City did se 11 they should do it with a quitclaim deed in accordance with his memo of 2/23/84. Mayor Smith sai~ since the Council Members might change, and the property owners might change, the Brush Poppers should realize they are in jeopardy of losing the site'and should plan ahead in accordance with any changes that might occur. in the future. RUTH BRACKETT, County Supervisor, said she had talked with the County Administrator and been assured the County is willing to work with both the City and Brush Poppers for a solution and perhaps come up with some long term security ideas, such as another piece of property. A motion was made by Councilman Millis, seconded by Councilman Hogan, and unanimously carried, negating declaration of this property as surplus, and to continue with the Agreement arrangement with Brush Poppers. JAY CONNER, 17D Carmelde Lane, Grover City, requested direction from the Counc i 1 to permit Brush Poppers to construct permanent restrooms on the property. Council Members said they had no objections, provided the construction meets with County standards. Councilman Gallagher said he felt Brush Poppers.should bring a proposal, as a separate action, back to the Council for consideration. PUBLIC HEARING RE: TENTATIVE SUBDIVISION MAP, TRACT #1158, OAK PARK VILLAS Planning Oirector Eisner said an application had been submitted by Mr. John Foremaster, with San Luis Engineering acting as agents, for. Tentative Subdivision Map under the provisions of Ordinance 140 C.S. and 150 C.S. previously approved. The location is on Oak Park Boulevard in Oak Park Acres, Lot 7 of Tract 604. He said the size of the site is ltl.6 acres, the Zoning is Planned Development and the property is presently vacant. The request is in conformance with the General plan as adopted. He said in terms of zoning compliance the only provision that is subject to approval is the 6,000 sq. ft. minimum lot size and all of the lots in this proposal meet those requirements. The proposal is for a 70-10t subdivision. Mayor Smith said the notice of public hearing had been duly published and . a 11 requirements met and declared the hearing open. JIM MCGILLIS, San Luis Engineering, said the lots of the 18 acre plot range from 6,000 to 18,000 sq. ft. and are single family lots; and the developers will improve Oak Park Road and insure the proper width to the intersection and address the water and sewer situation to meet the approval of the Public Works Director. No one else spoke to Council, and Mayor Smith declared the public portion of the hearing closed. Council discussion followed, and Councilman Millis made a motion, seconded by Counc i 1 man Ga 11 agher, to approve Tentative Subdivision Map, Tract 1158, Oak Park Villas, on Lot 7 of Tract 604, Oak Park Acres; and on the following ro 11 ca I 1 vo te , to wi t: AYES: Councilmen Vandeveer, Gallagher, Millis, Hogan and Mayor Smith NOES: None ABSENT: None the motion was unanimously carried. PUBLIC HEARING RE: AMENDMENT TO ZONING ORDINANCE Planning Director Eisner said the R-G Zone has a requirement rclating to units that are turned sideways on a property, and the proposed amendment would make the wording consistent with the R-3 requirements. He explained if the property is oblong and the back door of the unit faces the back of the property it requires a 5' side yard and a 15' rear yard; but if the unit is turned to the side, a 10' rear yard is required. -..- _"_..~m'_____ -' _. ---- C!TY COUNC I L MARCH 13, 1984 . ARROYO GRANDE, CALIFORNIA PAGE FOUR. . Mayor Smith said the public hearing notice had been duly published and all requirements met, and declared the hearing open~ There was no one who wished to speak regarding minimum yard requirements within the multiple family district and Mayor Smith declared the public portion of the hearing closed. Councilman Hogan said he felt if it did not throw any unusual structural quirks in, or mess up the parking on the other side, he would support it. Councilman Millis said he supported the proposal, as did Councilman Vandeveer. Councilman Gallagher said he felt it was an improvement but had some concern with only a 5 ft. or 10 ft. yard. Mr. Eisner read the title of the Ordinance. A motion was made by Councilman Gallagher, seconded by Councilman Vandeveer, and unanimously carried, to dispense with further reading of the Ordinance. Mayor Smith said that constituted the First Reading of the Ordinance. SEWAGE DISPOSAL SYSTEM/SERVICE--WOOD~VOAKES FUNERAL HOME City Manager Mack said the Wood-Voakes Mortuary had made a written request for Counc i I to reconsider the decision of Council's last meeting. A motion was made by Councilman Gallagher, seconded by Councilman Vandeveer, and unanimously carried, to reconsider the matter of septic tank vs. sewer hookup on the property at 555 Fair Oaks Avenue. TONY OREFICE, Architect, said the sewer line is 1200 ft. from the building site, therefore, a septic tank system was looked into. He said the San Luis Obispo County Health Department was contacted and they gave the Okay to build a septic tank. The Cal Poly Chemistry Department, and the Board of Funeral Di rectors & Embalmers were also contacted, who stated none of the chemicals used would be harmful. He said if easements could be obtained. across private properties, the estimated cost to hook into the sewer line would be $21,000.00 as opposed to approximately $2,000.00 for a septic system. HARRY VOAKES, 261 James Way, Owner of Wood-Voakes Mortuary, said he had been in the business for some 40 years, and any chemicals that would be harmful are not used in his mortuary. Councilman Gallagher questioned the process used for people with certain dreaded diseases. Mr. Voakes assured him those people were definitely treated . differently. He explained the process and the chemicals used and how they are disposed of, and that they are sterilized before they are dumped. Councilman Gallagher made a motion of two parts and at the suggestion of Councilman Millis amended the motion to vote on one portion at a time. Counci I man Gallagher then made a motion directing City Manager Mack to write to Dr. Hugh McMonagle, San Francisco College of Mortuary Science; the Directors of the Board of Mortuaries; and the Public Health Department, requesting certification that there are no problems in using a septic tank system. Councilman Millis moved to amend the motion to include that after answers are received, the Council would hold a public hearing on the subject. The amendment died for lack of second. Mayor Smith called for a vote on the motion to have Mr. Mack write the experts for information on the use of septic tanks in the business, and the motion carried on a 4-1 vote, with Councilman Hogan voting against it. Councilman Vandeveer made a motion, seconded by Councilman Gallagher, to accept the proposal for a septic tank providing no negative answers are received from the experts contacted. Councilman Millis requested a roll call vote on the motion, to wi t: AYES: Councilmen Vandeveer, Gallagher and Hogan NOES: Councilman Millis and Mayor Smith ABSENT: None the foregoing motion carried.

Research revealed it would cost $1440.00/year for rental of two restrooms, constructed of fiberglass and pumped weekiy by the rental firm.

Councilman Hogan estimated they could be built for $3,000.00 for materiais; using City labor force. Council Members spoke in opposition, saying it ties in with future develop- ment of the Civic Center, and to express those views in a letter to the Village Merchants Association.

WRITTEN COMMUNICATIONS None ORAL COMMUNICATIONS Councilman Gallagher asked Mr. Karp to give a rundown on Brisco Road. Mr. Karp said construction had commenced last week on the water line going into Brisco Road. The final design plans for the road improvements have not been completed. When they are, permission will be solicited from the property owners, for the City to'grade on their property. When that permission is obtained, Staff will send the design out for bids. Mayor Smith asked what was being built in front of the Cemetery. Mr. Karp said it was a pump station for the blending line, which runs between the well field and the Lopez transmission line, and which will guarantee that the City will have the ability to blend its high nitrate well water with the Lopez line, even if Feather River water goes through (the increased flow through the Lopez line will reduce the operating pressure of the line). Mayor Smith said she would like Mr. Mack to write a letter supporting Grover City's objection to the State's intent to charge parking fees at the Grand Avenue beach. Mayor Smith said Mr. Eisner had developed a slide presentation regarding design criteria in the community and would like to have it presented to Council. Council agreed to meet a 7:00 P.M., March 27, 1984, to see the slide presentation. ADJOURNMENT TO CLOSED SESSION Council adjourned to Closed Session at 10:28 P.M.
