After reviewing the impacts, which fell under fourteen categories, she opened the matter to questions from the Council. City Planner Tom Sullivan reported that generally the City Staff feels the report is good, except for a few details, which he outlined as followss 1) Ths City would like to acquire the County property at Whiteley and Nelson for use as a park, when-the ..County's Corporation Yard moves to the Regional Centert 2) the City's youth population is at present actually about 50~ lower than the figures given in the EIR. Ms.Lindbloom conceded that1970 population figures hadbsan used and not current statistics available in the City's Planning Departments 3) on Page 100 the term "Urban Reserve" is used to define tha lecation of this and other proposed projects, which is incorrect as the Urban Reserve Arsa of the City is the County area between the City Limits and about three miles outs 4) on Page 102 one alternative to the project is overlooked, which is General Plan Implementation-- low density residential or Planned i~evsiopmentt 5) Architectual Review of the development will be required by the City; 6) phased development of parking facilities should be addressed and should be reviewed in a year to sss i! additional parking is neededs 7) regarding information on Pags 38 addressing surface water runoff, the Staff would like to see more detailec! dater 8) also on Page 38, a state- ment is made that the drainage path of "Watershed 'A "' is designated in the City's General Plan as a flood hazard area, which is not so, although a small portion of the site is within the Lopez Dam Inundation Area, as shown on the Natural Hazards Map of the Safety Element; 9) on Page 40, several comments are made regarding water and its quality. The water within the Arroyo Grande Groundwater Basin does meet minimum State standards for human consumption and it cannot be assumed that the groundwater quality nt the site is the same as the water quality within the A.G. Basin, as said site is not within the A.G. Groundwater Basins 10) on Pags 51, the Existing Circulation Inventory Table states that Oak Park and Noyes Road are currently inadequate. There is no way to ascertain the reasons for this classifica- tion until Dr. Jones returns from vacations and 11) the,ElR speaks to the extension of West Branch Street "as traffic warrants", but the City Staff feels that this improvement should come with Phase 1 of the development.- The City has ;budgeted for its share of the road's development. Ms. Lindbloom-spoke on some of the concerns, Board of Supervisors' Chairman Mankins was present and explained the beginnings of the Regional Center and how each entity had bean given an opportunity to have facilities at the Center, with only the Lucia Mar Unified School District indicating interest in .doing so and that the requested rezoning is only due to the School District"s possible relocation to the Center. Discussion was held regarding improvement of West Branch extension, 3'74 CITY COUNCIL JULY 12, 1977 ARROYO GRANDE, CALIFORNIA PAGE 2 with Supervisor Mankins pointing out this is not planned for until people will have something to drive to at the Center., In regard to the County's present Corporation Yard property, Supervisor Mankins stated that sister entities have the first right of refusal for such property.

He urged the road be improved with sidewalks for the safety of the public, especially in view of the many families in the vicinity who walk along the street.- Supervisor Mankins was asked for help regarding the improvement, as a portion of the road is in the County. Supervisor Mankins stated that the acquisition of the' right of way to straighten out the "S" turn would involve costly court costs which have not been budgeted; however, funds have been budgeted for the engineering to improve the road generally. The Council discussed the matter, with the general consensus being that the "S" turn stay in to deter speeders, but that improvement of the road proceed as a joint project with the County for he development of a walkway on existing right of way. REQUEST FOR RATE INCREASE - SANITARY SERVICE - COMMITTEE WILL STUDY MATTER The Council read a letter from Charles F. Cattaneo, President of the South County Sanitary Service, requesting to increase service rates. Enclosed with the letter were schedules of the proposed rates and unaudited income and expense state- ments from April 1, 1973 to March 31, 1977, which show the company is operating at a loss in the last year. The Council also reviewed a report on the matter from Finance Director Bacon, which requested that audited statements be requested] and a comparison of rate charges in other cities for garbage pick-up services,. which show that even the proposed rate increase request is lower than what is being charged elsewhere Administrator Butch suggested that since all three South County Cities are being requested for this rate increase, that they°get together to work out something. He distributed a letter to this effect from Grover City, requesting the establishment of a committee to study the proposed rate increase request. Mr. Cattaneo was present and pointed out that although an Ordinance was passed by voters in November, 1976 making garbage pick-up mandatory, it is not being enforced.- After Council discussion, a motion was made by Councilman Spierling, seconded by Councilman Millis and unanimously carried, appointing Councilman Gallagher and Administrator Butch to a committee of representatives from Grover City and Pismo Beach to study the proposed rate increase by South County Sanitary Service.

REPORT - RECENT TRI-COUNTY MEETING ON AGING AND PUBLIC POLICY Administrator Butch reported on his attendance recently, with Mayor de Leon, at a seminar on aging and public policy.

The key speaker had been U.S. Congressman Lagomarsino whd said many communities are developing Commissions on Aging just like Parks & Recreation, Human Relations, etc. Commissions and addressing problems 3'~ 5 CITY COUNCIL ARROYO GRANDE, CALIFORNIA JULY 12, 1977 PAGE 3 of nutrition, friendship, new retireds, inflation eating into the dollar, etc. He felt the seminar was very worthwhile and has requested a similar seminar be presented in this area. NOTICE OF RECOMMENDATION FOR DESIGNATION OF LOPEZ CANYON AS WILDERNESS AREA - OPPOSE Administrator Butch reported that on the previously described sem nor on Aging, Congressman Lagomarsino had informed him that a committee of congress has recc~mm~ended that the Lopez Canyon Area, behind Lopez Dam, be declared a Wilderness Area, and will hold a hearing on it tomorrow. Congressman Panetta, in wh®se district Lopez Canyon is, strongly supports this designation. Lopez Lake is in Congressman Lagomarsino's District, wh® requested the Council's feelings about the prmposed designation. Administrator Butch distributed information to the Council which indi- cated that the U.S. Forestry Department believes a Wilderness designation would hinder their ability to manage the water shed of Lopez, as planned fuel breaks or development of "helaspots" in the Lopez area. Also, wilderness designations tend to draw more people into those areas. The Council discussed the matter at length, being concerned about fire protection to preserve the watershed and prevent siltation into the lake. Supervisor Hankins also pointed out that if-a fire should really get out of control, it could also effect the Santa Margarita water- shed. Councilman Spierling related his knowledge of Wilderness Areas, stating that fire equipment can be used, but no other type of motor vehicles are allowed and that said area would be maintained in the same condition as it now is. He felt the question was whether we want to maintain the area in its present primitive environment and ask for limited fire equipment access, or go on record opposing it and allowing unlimited access with no control or access and development. After Council discussion,- a motion was made by Counci]anan Gallagher,. seconded by Council- man Millis and carried, with Councilman Spierling dissenting, directing the City Administrator to send telegrams to Congressmen Udall, Lagomarsino and Panetta, citing this City's opposition to a full Wilderness Area designation for the Lopez Canyon area, because of its concerns for the protection of Lopez water shed.
