RIDGEVIEW WAY; SALLY WHITE
Mr. Spierling referred to the December 10, 1991 Staff Report
of the Planning Director, who recommended that the Council uphold
the Planning Commission's approval of conditional Use Permit Case
No. 91-490, including conditions of approval numbers 11 and 14 and
deny the appeal. Mr. Spierling pointed out that Condition No. 11,
"The project driveway shall be improved with an all-weather surface
capable of supporting a 17 ton fire apparatus, prior to final
occupancy," was placed on the project by the City Fire Department.
He said Condition No. 14, "Prior to final occupancy of the second
unit, both the second unit and the main residence shall be
connected to the public sewer and applicable fees paid," was a
Municipal Code requirement placed by the PUblic Works Department.

After being assured that the Public Hearing had been duly I
~ published and all legal requirements met, Mayor Millis declared the
hearing open and said all persons would be heard regarding the
matter.
Speaking in favor of the appellants and against the Conditions
of Approval were LEONARD LENGER of 1203 Carpenter Canyon Road and
ED CHADWELL of 290 Ridgeview Way. They said the existing red rock
driveway on the property meets the County's standard for 17 ton
fire apparatus all weather roads. They said it was a small project
consisting of a two bedroom house and a two car garage with a small
apartment on top. They said an engineer-approved septic system
would be adequate.
When no one further came forward to speak, Mayor Millis closed II
the hearing to the floor. ,
I
,
council Members discussed the possibility of fire apparatus I
not being able to reach a fire if the road requirement was waived; I
the fact that sprinklers will be installed in the new unit; the
Municipal Code requirement regarding sewer line hook up; the
standards for road construction in the City; the fact that sewage
would have to be pumped uphill to the septic system; pollution of I
the underground water supply by septic systems, and the Pedro Araya '
vs. City of Arroyo Grande lawsuit which may affect Ridgeview Way.
city Attorney Skousen said the City's road and the sewer line
could change a few feet as a result of the Araya lawsuit, but it
would still be within ,250 feet of Sally White's property.
After further Council discussion, it was moved by Smith/Moots
(5-0-0, smith, Moots, Dougall, Gallagher and Millis voting aye) to

they object.
