PUBLIC HEARING - CHERRY AVENUE PLAN LINE
Upon being assured by Director Gallop that the Public Hearing on the Cherry
Avenue Plan Line had been duly published, Vice Chairman Strother declared the
hearing open.
Director of Public Works Anderson displayed the precise Plan Line map
prepared by City Engineer Garing, and pointed out the present street and also the
property which would have to be acquired within the right -of -way. Director
Anderson stated this would be a collector street, 60' right -of -way all the way
through, with 44' improvement width, from Traffic Way to Newsom Springs Road.
Upon the request of Vice Chairman Strother, Director Gallop explained the
purpose of a Plan Line, stating that once a Plan Line is adopted by the City
Council, it becomes an automatic setback line to protect the City from any new
construction, and that it is a protective measure for both the public and the
City to assure proper right -of -way.
Mr. Tony Marsalek was present and stated he was a property owner on
Cherry Avenue and was representing himself and his father, who is a property
owner south of Cherry up to the corner, and asked if an additional 10' would
be taken on either side in addition to the present right -of -way, and what
effect this would have on the creek watering system they now use or can use.
Director Anderson stated that the water system would remain until something is
done with the road and would then be relocated when the street was constructed,
and that the 10' they would be giving up would be just about all sidewalk area.
Mr. Marsalek also inquired that if the City develops this road, what cost would
there be to the property owners in this area. Mr. Anderson stated the City
usually requests construction of curb and gutter along the property adjoining
the street at the property owner's expense.
No further_discussion for or against the request, Vice Chairman Strother
declared the hearing closed. After a brief discussion, the following action
was taken.

Planning Commission - 7/2/68 Page 3
Commissioner Sawyer stated that he would like to give a brief oral report on
the Coastal - Valley Planning Council. He stated that, to date, it has been decided
that this Council be a formal organization, however it Is still under discussion
and still in the formative stages. He stated the idea is to coordinate the plan-
ning between the .general area encompassed by Sunset Palisades to Oceano. At the
present time the Council has taken under advisement to have a membership of nine
members; two from each of the incorporated areas, two from the Oceano area, and
one from the County area. The powers of this body are proposed to be the same
as each of the City Planning Commissions have., and this is still in the formative
stages. Commissioner Sawyer made a recommendation that the Commission appoint two
more experienced Planners to this Council and that the same recommendation be made
to the other Cities.
Director Gallop stated that at the meeting held last night, it was made
quite clear that this would be a recommending group only and any recommendations
would go to their respective Planning Commissions, who would consider such recom-
mendations and would then be carried on to the City Councils. Director Gallop
stated it was his understanding that when this was discussed about a month and a
half ago, it was their feeling that they wanted this forwA ized to the point where
there would be records of their recommendations, and with an informal group, no
record of actions or recommendations would be kept. It was their feeling that
only through a formal organization, this information could be set out in such a
way it could be passed on to various Commissions and also kept in a central file
of their own, and that they have no desire to be anything other than a coordi-
nating or recommending group. Vice Chairman Strother stated he believed this
would be a useful organization if it were used for mutual problems on a recom-
mending basis only.
Commissioner Moss stated the reason he could not attend these meetings was
because he attends Lions Club meetings on the first and third Mondays of the month.
Vice Chairman Strother stated that if there were no objections, Commissioner
Moss' resignation would be accepted and, after a brief discussion, Commissioner
St. Denis was tentatively appointed as a representative to this Council.
ADJOURNMENT
Vice Chairman Strother adjourned the meeting at 9 :08 P.M.
