PRESENTATION BY ROBERT CARR, SLO COG, ON COUNTY AIR QUALITY ATTAINMENT/MAINTENANCE PLAN
Mr. Robert W. Carr, Assistant Project Manager for the San Luis Obispo County Area
Council of Governments, gave an oral report on an Air Quality Attainment and Maintenance
Plan for San Luis Obispo County. He explained the hearing for this plan will be held
on November 30, 1978, before the Area Council; however, staff does not. feel this plan is
ready for adoption and'will recommend delaying the hearing until January, 1979. San
Luis Obispo County does not currently meet Federal air quality requirements for oxidents,
thus necessitating the developmeht of an ai r qual Lty/maintenance,plan., Thi.s plan deals
primarily with eliminating hydrocarbon emmission' from 'various source's throughout the
County and will' include control measures such as emissH>nl control devises on automobiles,
inspection of emiss.j()n , upon sale and annual inspection programs. He reviewed the
various agencies involved in this plan, stages of development, standards for hydrocarbons
in the air and levels to be achieved by 1987, noting implementation of the plan will fall
on' the County Board of Supervisors. After brief discussion, Mayor Millis thanked Mr. Carr
for his presentation and asked that he keep the Council informed on any progress made.

and the City of San Luis Obispo is the prime sponsor in our County. This program

Grover City, Pismo Beach and San Luis Obispo, at no cost and based upon a joint

CONTINUATION OF PUBLIC HEARING RE. AMENDMENT TO THE CIRCULATION ELEMENT OF THE
GENERAL PLAN: TALLY HO ROAD FROM COLLECTOR STREET TO LOCAL STREET - DENIED
City Engineer Karp gave an oral report on the request to ,change Tally Ho Road,
from a colle~tor street to a local street on the Circulation Element of the General
Plan for Arroyo Grande. He explained this item was in conjunction with the drainage
system planned'for Tally Ho Road which will require installation of curbs to carry
the water to the creek if the district is'formed. ,Before curbs can be installed the
width of the road had to be determined. The General Plan calls for a 44 foot wide
roadway, the Planning Commission recommended a .40 foot street, and Tally Ho residents
requested it be redesignat~d a local street with a 28 foot paved section. , After study,
staff felt once Tally Ho is paved it will receive increased traffic"and will'act as
a collector street (its cyrrent designation). For reasons of safety, the lowest staff:
will recommend is a 40 foot paved section, curb to curb, which would allow two twelve I
foot driving lane and a parking lane on either side. Parking lanes are recommended as
a majority of the property have frontages which are substandard to the rural require-
ments, which would provide adequate space for off-street parking. Mayor Millis then
opened the hearing to public comment.
r
, ,
The following people were present and'spoke on this matter, noting several con-
cerns, i.e., widening Tally Ho will create increased tr.affic in the area 'and possibly
a drag strip for some, some residents felt a 28 foot road would adequately serve pre-
sent needs, this might ,r~quir,e the condemnation and purchase of pieces of properties,
high costs will be involved because of the high water table which will have to be
corrected, a~d a request that ttJe ,Co~nci 1 consi,der a 32 foot bl'acktop as a compromise: ,
John Sprague, ,21.2 Tally Ho Road;..,Joseph Agrusa, 300 Tally Ho Road; Sandy Facchetti,
248 Tal fy Ho Ro~d; Vincent Lechner, 331 Tally Ho Road; Mr. Si,pes, 188 Tally Ho Road;
Shawn Davies, 258 Tally Ho Road.
Mrs. Elizabeth Jackson, 208 Fairview Drive, and,Mr. Joe Agrusa, 300 ,Tally Ho Road,
asked what would be done to eliminate the congestion at Le Point and Mason Street whict]
would result with the widening of Tally Ho Road. City Engineer Karp explained the City
plans to eventually widen Le Point Street to a 28 foot paved strip with no parking on :
either side; the properties that have access to Le Point are in excess of the nine foot.
minimum for off street parking in a rural section; with no excess on the ~phill side.
This will provide two 14 foot driving lanes, which are wider than the lanes to be pro-
vided on Tally Ho Road.
Doris Olsen, Santa Maria Times, asked if Pismo Beach's ,plans to develop their Oak,
Park section by extending James Way down to Tally Ho Road would effect Arroyo Grande' s I.
, "
street plans for this area. City Engineer Karp explained the current plan is to pro-
vide parallel streets along Highway 101, to allow residents to travel from city to city,
without having to use the freeway. Upon question, he explained the property owners wi 1'1

be responsible for paying for curbs and gutters on,:their frontage, along with the creek
on their frontage, and the City would pay for the between-curb paving out of Gas Tax
Funds or the General Funds; also, .the City will not receive any Federal funds.if a sub-
standard road is constructed.
Mr. Sipes, 188 Tally Ho Road, asked if there was going to be an extensive report on
the Tally Ho Road Drainage Project, which was scheduled for later in the evening. After
brief discussion, it was decided the Tally Ho Drainage item would be heard after this
hearing to accomodate any people who'came to speak on the matter.
There being no further public comment, Mayor Millis closed the hearing to audience
participation and Council discussion ensued. During Council discussion several points
of clarification were made: some residents have deposited funds with the City, to be
credited to their account. for curbs and gutters, .once the City adopts a plan line for
Tally Ho Road and the ground water problem is solved; the homes on the southerly side of ~
Tally Ho Road have a minimum 30 foot setback from the curb; the only acquisition of
property involved 'is 4"5 parcels on La Barranca; certain State requirements must be met .
in order to receive gas tax funds and the Federal Government.pays for 83% of the cost for
road improvements; 40 foot roadway is the minimum required to take care of current
problems and flooding in the area; for reasons of safety, the City Engineer would not
sign or approve plans. for anything less than 40 feet. After discussion it was the deci-
sion of the Council that the improvement of Tally Ho Road.effects the whole community
and the minimum that can be allowed.is a 40 foot paved section, which is four feet less
than what is required by the General Plan. On the motion of Council .Member de Leon,
seconded by Council Member Gallagher and unanimously carried, Attorney Shipsey was in-
structed to prepare.a resolution approving the 40 foot paved, .curb to curb, roadway for
Tally Ho Road in the Circulation Element and approving increasing the East .Frontage Road
cross section right of way to 56 feet in the Circulation Element.
WITH PERMISSION OF THE COUNCIL, MAYOR MILLIS REQUESTED THAT ITEM D-2 ON THE AGENDA
BE CONSIDERED AT THIS TIME FOR THE CONVENIENCE OF CITIZENS IN THE AUDIENCE.
PROGRESS REPORT ON TALLY HO ROAD DRAINAGE
City Engineer Karp gave an oral progress report on the Tally Ho Road Drainage.Project.

ments. Now that the Council has made the final decision on the Tally Ho road width, the
plans for the culvert can be submitted to Cal Trans, who will forward them to the Federal
Government. There was general discussion on the stat~s of the petitions at this time.
Mr. John Sprague, 212 Tally Ho Road, presented a copy of a petition circulated among
some of the residents of Tally Ho Road, stating they were not in favor of the formation
of the assessment District. The Clerk received the petition and Mr. .Sprague was asked to
