PUBLIC HEARING - USE PERMIT CASE NO. 72 -193 - TWO THREE -STORY APARTMENT BUILDINGS,
1200 AND 1206 FARROLL AVENUE (DEL BROWN & ASSOCIATES)
Upon being assured by Public Works Director Anderson that notices of
public hearing for Use Permit Case No. 72 -193 had been duly posted, published
and property owners notified, Chairman Schultz declared the hearing open.
Chairman Schultz pointed out that the property involved is zoned R -3
and that a Use Permit is required when two or more structures are to be lo-
cated on a single parcel of property. He noted that the structure meets all
requirements of the District insofar as parking, area . coverage, setbacks,
height limitations, etc., and that the development has been reviewed by the
Architectural Committee and approval granted subject to conditions.
Mrs, Doris Olson, 1212 Fair Oaks Avenue, requested information with
regard to the sewers and improvement to Elm Street. Public Works Director
Anderson advised the development will tie in to the manhole on the southeast
corner of the Convalescent Hospital property, and the developers are re-
quired to dedicate 25 ft. right -of -way on the west portion of Elm Street,
Mrs. Olson stated she was opposed to the project until the City of Arroyo
Grande corrects the situation with her mother and clears the property they
took six years ago, and this development would be creating more traffic on
the road and cause increase in taxes,in the area. Mr. Anderson advised the
street widening is not on the entire lot, just 100 ft, strip adjacent to
Farroll Avenue.
Mr. James Anderson, Pismo Beach, stated Mr, David Sieperman, who
lives on Carol Place, polled ten or twelve property owners in the area,
which revealed 9 people were in favor of the development and one person
was neutral. -_
Mr. Del Brown, developer and owner, was present and stated that he
and his associates have done preliminary studies in Arroyo Grande and felt
this was a feasible project, and that there is a demand in the area for
this type of development and, in their opinion, will upgrade and appreciate
the values of the surrounding properties. He described the structures as
being three story buildings with elevators, large courtyard, swimming pool,
two sauna baths, and a recreation hall on one wing of the building and the
duplicate hall on the other wing will be a small gymnasium. As far as the
traffic generated by the 62 units, he felt the traffic would be negligible.
He ft,^rthzr stated they have gone above the district parking requirements.
