REQUEST TO GRADE DURING RAINY SEASON - OAK PARK ACRES (KVIDTB - DENIED
The Council read a letter from Reuben Kvidt, developer of Oak Park Acres,
requesting that Ordinance No. 140 C.S. be amended in regard to grading. He wants
to be allowed to perform extensive grading during the rainy season after approval
of a drainage control plan by the City. City Engineer Karp reviewed his report
on the request, setting forth three conditions which the proposed amendment
should be subject to, if the Council approves it.
The Council discussed the matter at great length, with general consensus
being not to approve any change to the Ordinance, City Engineer Karp pointed out
an additional problem.. If the developers have to stop grading in about November,
they would probably do extensive grading up to then, which would then leave the
slopes bare and subject to erosion by rain.- Councilman Schlegel suggested that
"dry months" be established during which grading will be permitted only in the
problem areas of the City. in answer to Councilman Millis' question as to how a
developer can be made to comply with Ordinance provisions, City Engineer. Karp
stated that in the future, a Dash bond could be required and if something were
required and not accomplished, the City could have someone else. do it and bill
the developer far the costs. City Engineer Karp recommended that the developer
put in sewer and water lines now and hold up the heavy grading until after the
rainy season. After further Council discussion, City Engineer Karp was given the
authority to do what he felt was best within the ccnfines of Ordinance 140 C.S.
and the concerns cf the Council, especially with the James Way right of way.

Council discussed the request, generally agreeing that the Festival should approach
San Luis Obispc as the more logical place to get water from, in view of the
distance and road of travel. After Council discussion, a motion was made by
Councilman Spierling, seconded by Councilman Gallagher and unanimously carried,
denying the request of the E,C. Arts Caravan for water service by the City to
the Freitag Ranch.
