MINUTE APPROVAL The minutes of the regular meeting of July 2, 1974 were approved by the Chairman upon hearing no additions or corrections. REVIEW OF COMMITTEE ACTIONS Director Gallop reviewed Architectural Review Case No. 74 -92, advising it is a new commercial structure being built on Grand Avenue adjacent to the old Mid State Bank building and, basically, will be the same archi- tecture as the two buildings that are there now. With regard to the parking, Director Gallop advised that the structure requires 20 spaces, and that there are six spaces adjacent to the building. The Committee also required that the property owner go through a reversion to acreage process to reduce the property under one single parcel and, then the existing parking is credited to the new building. He further advised that ponding is a requirement of the Engineering Department and is to be taken care of on the property. With regard to Lot Split Case No 74 -198, Director Gallop advised it is a simple lot split at the end of Pine Street, which is a deadend street. He advised that, because it is a deadend street, the Committee recommended waiving the sidewalk requirement until the adjacent'pyoperty is improved. The Committee did require installation of curb and gutter. After review, Chairman Calhoon ordered the reports filed. TENTATIVE MAP, TRACT #538 SECOND UNIT REVISED TENTATIVE MAP TRACT #434 . Director Gallop explained the changes from the original tentative map. He pointed out the areas on the map which are presently being developed in the City, and the property on the hill which is presently under annexation. The original tentative map was finalized and the first section was recorded and is approximately three - fourths built. The second section which is that portion within the City limits, was approved in tentative map form, and then the developers and their engineer have done some redesign of the map, and it was a determination of the staff and the Subdivision Review Board that there were sufficient changes to bring it back to this Commission for re- approval. Director Gallop explained that in the original design the property was bisected by the Telephone Company's coaxial cable. In the redesign, they have pushed this road westerly so that the cable is now completely within the public right -of -way where it belongs. In doing this, it was necessary to relocate the park. The new park site is approximately 50% more than the original one and has frontage on Stagecoach Road. The typography is better and gives more latitude for design work. Director Gallop pointed out one of the major considerations is that the City cannot at the present time serve water above the 200' elevation mark, and if the developers want to develop the eight lots above that elevation, they will have to provide a booster system to serve those lots. He further advised that the original second unit contained 73 lots, and the revised unit has been reduced to 39 lots, which represents just about one - half of the original proposed density. In summation, Director Gallop pointed out the new design provides better configuration of streets, better and larger park site, and reduction of density. He further advised that the provisions which were approved on the original subdivision have been recommended for acceptance on the re- vised map with several minor changes as listed in the Subdivision Review Board Report, dated July 2, 1974, and the Parks and Recreation Commission have approved the relocation and increased size of the park land.

LEAGUE OF CALIFORNIA CITIES MEETING Director Gallop called attention to the announcement of the next League of California Cities Coastal Counties Division meeting which will be held on August 9th in San Luis Obispo. He requested any Commission member wishing to attend the meeting to advise either Mrs. Queen or himself by August 1st. CONSTRUCTION AREAS Commissioner Ries noted that in some of the construction areas such as the new subdivision being built off of The Pike, the developer has been leav- ing equipment such as lumber, etc. in the streets and blocking intersections with no warning signs or blinkers, and he was concerned that someone could run into these obstructions at night. Director Gallop advised he would ask the Construction Inspector to look into the matter. Administrator Butch advised that the new construction sites have been having a lot of thefts lately. Director Gallop pointed out also that these streets in new sub- divisions, technically, are not public ri4its -of -'way until they have been accepted by the City as such.
