STUDY SESSION
The Council met in regular adjourned study session, with Mayor B'Ann Smith
presiding, to consider the Paseo Street Development Proposal.
JIM McGILLIS, Surveyor, San Luis Engineering, displayed a large photograph of
the Paseo Street area for Council's study. He explained details of the proposed
development plan pointing out the location of the Tally Ho Creek and the boundaries
of the development.
Discussion revealed the City owns no property rights on the Creek, and Council
discussed the obligation to service and maintain the Creek, which is the responsibility
of the individual property owners.
Council also discussed the anticipated traffic flow through the area, commenting
on James Way, Huasna Road, Route 227, East Branch Street, May Street, McKinley Street,
and Le Point Street.
City Engineer Karp suggested that development of Paseo Street might end up
connecting to a future connection with an extension of James Way across Tally Ho
Creek. He said that the City's wishes to plan for that extension in the General Plan
are not the issue at this proceeding. He Indicated that the matter would be discussed
during Planning sessions for the revision of the circulation element presently under
study by the Planning Department. He indicated that any plan line for Paseo Street
could be approved with collector width improvements. This approval would keep the
options open if a future revision of the circulation element called for extension
of James Way to State Highway 227.
Council further discussed the cross-section of a typical home which would be
constructed on the lots that front on Paseo Street. Council noted the significant
amount of grading and retaining wall construction which would be required to develop
the lots. After considerable discussion, Council elected to conceptually approve
the Plan Line for Paseo Street with the following conditions on a motion by Council
Member Gallagher, seconded by Council Member Moots, and unanimously carried:
1. Paseo Street to be developed on a 64 ft. wide right of way between Highway
227 and the easterly boundary of Lot #17. Development of this street to conform
with standard collector street dimensions (44 feet curb to curb with 6 ft. sidewalks).
2. Between Lots #17 and #18 the right of way and improvements developed will
taper from a collector road section (44 ft.) to a local street section (40 ft. curb
to curb on a 52 ft. or 60 ft. right of way).
3. Lot #10 shall gain access from Le Point Street as far westerly as possible.
4. Lots #8 and #9 shall be developed with a common drive access to Highway 227.
5. Lots #6 and #7 to gain access with a common drive to Paseo Street.
6. Developer shall arrange for appropriate utility and drainage improvement
installation, including rights of way prior to approval of final imlJ"ovement plans.
7. A stop sign shall be installed on Paseo Street at Highway 227.
8. An effort shall be .made to negotiate regrading the access for the existing
home located at 211 Corbett Canyon Road (APN 7-031-18) from Paseo Street.
Jim McGillis pointed out that the City Council should consider development of
garages for the future homes. Counci I indicated that such an approval could only
be granted after a Planning Commission recommendation for variance.

City Engineer Karp said that this developer would be required to design the
entire roadway for the length of the project, as well as improvements required on
the highway by Cal Trans. He pointed out to the City Council that the developer
would nonly be required to construct two-thirds of the street and sidewalk improve-
ments on his own frontage. Karp indicated that if improvements are desired on the
northwesterly frontage of Paseo Street, some other procedure would have to be
initiated by the Councilor such coule be required with redevelopment of adjoining
properties, which front on that side of Paseo Street. McGillis indicated that
through right of way negoiation for a sewer easement this developer had agreed to
construct frontage improvements for the parcel known as 221 Corbett Canyon Road
(APN 7-031-27).
On motion of Council Member Gallagher, seconded by Council Member Johnson,
and unanimously carried, the Council adjourned the Study Session to Regular Session
at 1:50 P.M.
