He said he would be doing a check list reflecting Council sentiment on the issues for each meeting. He said they could be altered. VILLAGE PARKING LOT PROPOSAL IRA HUGHES, vice chairman of the Downtown Parking Advisory Committee, said that the lot in question might be sold at any time to another party. Finding a substantial need to add the item to the agenda I it was moved by Millis/Johnson (4-0-1, Porter absent) to do so. Mr. Hughes referred to a financial statement dated March 12, 1987, pre- pared by Mr. Mack, and a map showing the lot. Mr. Hughes asked for City financing for the purchase of the lot, with the pay back coming from increased Downtown Parking Board District fees, earned interest, and Space Assessments. He said development of the lot would be at a later date. Mr. Mack referred to sections of the City's working budget, and said the City does not have the money to do this at this time. After more discussion of the lack of City funds for this purpose, Mr. Hughes said his Board would be seeking private funding, and the Council said it would keep an open mind on the issue. RIGHT OF WAY ENCROACHMENT FOR 225 TALLY HO ROAD (Continued from March 10, 1987) Jeff Carrithers, developer of this property, said that his surveyor had varified that the building location is three feet, four inches from the face of the curb, and therefore was asking for an encroachment permit. He proposed that the roof overhan9 be cut off to the face of the house. He said that the property owner has agreed to move at the end of the five year encroachment period. He said he intends to help the owner to upgrade, clean up substantially, and paint the house. The Council directed staff to work on an agreement with Mr. Carrithers, with the stipulation that the house be vacated at the end of the encroachment period. Mr. Mack said this would be on the next agenda. CITY COUNCIL MARCH 17, 1987 ARROYO GRANDE, CALIFORNIA PAGE TWO ROYAL OAKS ESTATES Continued There was Council discussion of the adequacy of the Miller Way access with Police Chief Jim Clark, and there was consensus that there should be an emergency access gate at the point of "FII Way and Miller Street. The School Site was considered by the Council. Recommended as con- ditions were that the school site curbs, gutters and sidewalks would have to conform with City requirements to tie in with the rest of the development, and that in the event that the school site property reverts to private owner- ship, there should be an open space easement. An examination of the YMCA Site took place. Rob Strong, Planning Consultant for the City on Royal Oaks, spoke about changes in the location of the YMCA and of a drainage basin. He said he was concerned that no environmental evaluations have taken place, and suggested the Council should suspend this discussion until the development is worked out in detail for the Council to look at. Mayor Mankins suggested that these changes be taken up at the end of the Royal Oaks Discussions. Mr. Mack said that the Two Single Family Estate Lots should be considered at that time also. Developer William Lackey explained the concept of the 83 patio homes. He said lot sizes were from 4,900 to 6,000 square feet, with zero setbacks and front, back and one side yard for each house. The Council said it had no problems with the design concept. Mayor Mankins said Royal Oaks would be discussed again at the March 24, 1987, meeting of the Council. TRAFFIC WAY UNDERGROUNDING RIGHT OF WAY PROBLEMS-CC FILE 11-5-26 JAY CONNER of Pacific Gas and Electric Company said the Utility Undergrounding Project has come to a halt because a property owner at Allen Street and Traffic Way will not sign a right of way agreement and disputes the ownership a strip of land in which the utilities would be laid.
