PRESENTATION & DISCUSSION RE. PROPOSED REGIONAL CIVIC CENTER IN SO.COUNTY Bruc~ Dodson, Architect for the County, was introduced and made a vex°bal and slide presentation regarding the various South County sites considered by the County for the proposed Regional Civic Center. He reviewed the Capital Improvement Plan of the County; criteria used in site selection; and the "Regional Service Center Components". He distributed copies of a parcel map section showing the site being considered presently for the center (also known as the Lovasz property easterly of Highway 101 and generally between St. Patrick's School and the Arroyo Grande Woman's Club Community Center). A public hearing regarding acquisition of this property will be held by the County on October 12, 1976. He stated that the first facilities to be built would be the library and the Citizens' Center and the County Engineering facility, which would be at the rear of this property and having a capacity of only two dump trucks and a road grader along with a storage building. Council discussion was held at great lengths regarding the propos~l and proposed location, with the major concerns being cited as follows: the traffic that will be generated by the Center and the affect this will have on pedestrian ~raffic (mostly school children from St. Patrzck's School) using Frontage Road and the Brisco Road underpass; the extent of road improvements to be done by the County in this axea; the loss of potential commercial property with resulting loss of sales tax revenue to the City; the proposed County Corporate Yard facility; and ample opportunity for this City to give input if the Center is to be located within Arroyo Grande. Mr. Dodson assured the Council that an Environmental Tmpact Report would be filed; that the critical part of the design criteria will be public safety; and that public hearings will be held on the master plan.
