Oak Park Interchange and Highway 101 Letter to State Legislators. Council Member Porter asked for clarification of the matter. City Manager Mack gave some background and current information regarding the intersection. He said the letter to the State Legislators asks them to support the Oak Park Project and resolve the Cal Trans Commission's problems without effecting the Oak Park project; and to take a closer look at Highway 101 and how the State and Federal Government plan to deal with that in the future. He said the State's position now, is that they are moving practically all of the State highway monies into the Interstate program in order to take advantage of Federal funds. Mr. Mack said Highway 101 is not part of the interstate program and, as a result, all of the highways in many counties, including San Luis Obispo, are not getting their sahre of state highway revenues on the basis of previously passed legislation to set up a fair balance between the counties to maintain their transportation systems. J. Redefinition of the Village Area RECOMMEND APPROVAL. Council Member Porter asked for clarification. Mr. Mack said the Downtown Parking Advisory Board's recommendation was to enlarge the definition of the Village area down Traffic Way and across the Creek. He said the City has planned for a project to underground utilities and recommended that Council refer it to the Planning Commission for study and recommendations from them. On motion of Council Member Porter. seconded by Council Member Johnson, and unanimously carried, to approve Consent Agenda Items #12-1 and #12-J as recommended. PASEO STREET DEVELOPMENT PROPOSAL Public Works Director Paul Karp said his Introductory memo to Council regarded a proposed presentation by San Luis Engineers on behalf of the proposed developers of Paseo Street, which is a "paper right of way" within the City. In order to con- struct anything on existing lots, the City requires an extension of water, sewer, gas, electric, storm drain, pavement, curb, gutter and sidewalks be constructed. He said the property owners do not wish to subdivide the lots, but only want to install the improvements. Offers of dedication to supplement existing rights of way are necessary to develop Paseo Street. The developers plan to fund the construction on their own rather than through assessment proceedings used in other parts of the City, like Canyon Way and Ruth Ann Way. JIM McGILLIS, San.Luis Engineering, distributed maps to Council and explained the details of a Plan Line for the development of Paseo Street. He explained the three design problems and the plans for resolving them, and said the drainage factor would be improved, probably underground, taking the Wildwood drain water to feed into Ta lly Ho Creek. CHARLES BRUNHEISER, 458 N. 10th Street, Grover City, said he plans to purchase 14 lots, and MARSHA DUGGER, 222 McKinley, plans to purchase six lots. Further discussion followed, and Council determined that a Study Session is needed and agreed to meet on Monday. January 28. 1985, at 1:00 P.M. in the Counc i I Chambers. PUBLIC HEARING: REZONING CASE NO. 84-183. FROM RAB3 TO PD (RONALD R. OLSON) Planning Director Stan Eisner explained the request by Applicant Ron Olson for rezoning portion of Lots 11 and 13 of E. W. Steele's Resubdivlsion (generally north of Huasna Road and adjacent to Wildwood Ranch) on posted map. and sa}d the General Development Plan submitted is found to be consistent with the General Plan. He said, at the Planning Commission's hearing. denial of the rezoning was recommended based on the development plan and for the following reasons: (1) that the additional traffic generated from 20 lots in that subdivision would be excessive; (2) that there were drainage and flooding problems already present that would be extended; (3) members of the Commission were concerned that any additional development in the City would impact on a perceived water shortage. Mayor Smith said the hearing had been duly published and all requirements met and declared the Public Hearing open. . . - .'"'\ -' CITY COUNC I L JANUARY 22, 1985 ARROYO GRANDE, CALIFORNIA PAGE THREE. RON OLSON, 516 Platino Lane, said he lives next to the property and that he is concerned about how the property is developed, and interested in working with the City to resolve any problems. He introduced his engineer, Terry Orton. TERRY ORTON, 167 Morro Lane, who addressed Council regarding density, water availability, traffic and drainage with the aid of posted maps, and additional maps passed to Council. JAMES BOYLE, 230 Oro Orive, explained, with the aid of a plat showing the existing drainage problems of the residents along Oro Drive, and the flow of underground and surface water that floods the properties on Oro Drive from various sources. JOYCE MALONEY, 263 Oro Drive, had pictures taken on'Thanksgiving weekend illus- trating drainage along Oro Drive. ' TOM MEENZHUBER, 247 Oro Drive, said he was opposed to the development of the hillside property due to the increased traffic that would be generated, posing a grave danger to the 52 young children already living there. lie sa i d he fe It deve I opmen t should be looked at on the whole and not just addressing each development; for example, in the immediate area there are 16 new Mountain View Condos, 65 homes in Wildwood, 45 homesby Zogata, BO homes in Oak Crest Estates, the Stagecoach subdivision. RICH PORTESI, 255 Oro Drive, emphasized the danger increased density and traffic would create in the area. C. R. CHELQUIST, 286 Oro Drive, said he solved his drainage problems, but the traffic generated from the project would pose a serious problem. NANCY GERRISH, 823 Plato Road, explained a chart showing what had occurred to the project over the past five months and said she was not opposed to the project but input from adjacent residents, the immediate neighborhood and the Planning Commission points to the concerns about traffic, drainage, one access road, water and sewer problems compounded by the proposed project. She said she felt the project could be developed under its present zoning classification; but felt it appropriate for the Council to deny the project at this time. TERRY ORTON, Engineer, defended the plans to correct the various problems, but the people who stood up to signify their opposition to the project probably numbered about 40, and he clarified some of the figures that had been quoted during the hearing. LYNN MEENZHUBER,,247 Oro Orive, said she is opposed to the project because of the potential danger to the children In the area. JOHN STEVEN, 223 Oro Drive, said he had spend $2500 to put drainage around his residence; the traffic Is bad, the plan does not make adequate provision for drainage and recommended the Council deny the project until a better plan is submitted. Mayor Smith called for others to speak and declared the hearing closed. Council further discussed the problems with drainage, traffic, the type of structures planned, flag lots, agricultural land being used, density and available water for the project.
