LOT SPLIT CASE NO, 70 -111, 1060 MAPLE STREET (CHAMBERS) - REQUEST FOR POSTPONEMENT OF BLACKTOP REQUIREMENT. Director Gallop reviewed the conditions imposed by the Lot Split Committee on August 5, 1970, and advised that the petitioners are appealing Item No. 3, requiring that the easement be improved with blacktop surfacing subject to Public Works Depart- ment approval. He advised the petitioners are asking for relief of this requirement subject to the installation of the sewer line. There is a surfacing on the easement at the present time which is reasonably dust free and weatherproof. Chairman Moss stated the Lot Split Committee made the blacktop requirement at this time because if individual parcels of property are sold prior to the time the sewer is installed, it may be difficult to enforce the blacktop requirement. Mr. Dwyer, speaking for Mrs. George on behalf of the Chambers, advised that the funds for the paving are in escrow at the present time, and to his knowledge there is no sale intended at this time. He suggested putting the funds in escrow with the City. Administrator Butch stated he felt something such as this could be worked out and would probably be much simpler than a covenant. After discussion, on motion of Commissioner McMillen, seconded by Commissioner St. Denis, and unanimously carried, that Requirement No. 3 be amended by requiring that monies adequate for the blacktop surfacing of the easement be placed on deposit with the City until such time the sewer is installed, after which time the paving will be installed. LOT SPLIT CASE NO. 70 -112, FAIR OAKS AND ALDER — APPEAL OF SIDEWALK REQUIREMENTS(BURKE) Director Gallop advised that Mr. Burke, through his agents Mr. Pace and Mr. Simpson, petitioned a lot split creating seven lots, which can be created by the Parcel Map Act when all lots face or abut an existing public right -of -way. The petitioners are appealing the requirement of sidewalks on the entire Alder Street and Fair Oaks Avenue frontage, which would amount to about 550 feet. 299 300 Planning Commission, 9 -1 -70 Page 1 Mr. Simpson stated that they felt the requirement was unjust since there are only scattered sidewalks in the area and the requirement would, bring the cost of the property up too high for them to go ahead and develop it. Chairman Moss advised that sidewalks have been a requirement of all new building, both of individual builders and contractors.. Mr. Pace stated this is an additional expense and they don't feel it is fair. It was pointed out that after driveway aprons are installed, there would remain approximately 320 feet of sidewalk to be installed. After discussion, on motion of Commissioner Nunes, seconded by Commissioner Bowles, and unanimously carried, that the requirement of the Minor Subdivision Committee Action of August 26, 1970 should stand. Chairman Moss advised the petitioners of their right to appeal the decision to the City Council within ten days. PUBLIC HEARING - PROPOSED STREET NAME CHANGE - "FRONTAGE ROAD" TO "EL CAMINO REAL" Director Gallop advised that this change is a recommendation of the Coastal Valley Planning Council and affects all three cities and the county. He advised the reason for the program is to eliminate duplication of existing names and to properly identify un -named streets now so that there is a continuity in the area. The name "El Camino Real" is used in many communities up and down the coast for frontage roads and on streets which at one time Highway 101 was located. Director Gallop advised he had received one phone call from a doctor object- ing to the name because he thought Highway 1 was called El Camino Real. Director Gallop stated that Highway 1 is "Cabrillo Highway". Upon being assured by Director Gallop that all property owners have been noti- fied, Chairman Moss declared the hearing open. Mr. James Thompson, Chief Administrative Officer of the Arroyo Grande District. . - Cemetery, was present and stated they objected to the name change. He advised that approximately six months ago the City changed their address from North Halcyon to Frontage Road and they have had all their stationery, sales agreements, etc:, printed with the Frontage Road address. Chairman Moss advised that the change came on a recommendation of the Coastal Valley Planning Council and was just brought before the Commission about a month or six weeks ago. No further discussion for or against the proposed street name change, Chairman Moss declared the hearing closed.
