held where this item could be discussed exclusively. Mr. Gallo
indicated that economic data would be available for presentation
to the Council and suggested that perhaps a study session would
be advisable.
Councilmember Anderson felt that due to the potential length of
discussion and public comment, a separate meeting date would be
beneficial.
Councilmember Risley objected to holding a special meeting and
felt that it was not necessary to hear additional information.
Council discussed alternate meeting dates for a special meeting
to consider the VRM appeal.
MOTION: Councilmember Zeuschner moved that the Council set

P AGE THREE
A-2 CONSIDERATION OF APPROVAL OF BUSINESS LICENSE FOR PEDICAB
SERVICE ON EMBARCADERO
Mr. Baxter reviewed the applicant's request to operate a pedicab
business along the Embarcadero, and noted that in accordance with
Municipal Code requirements, the application had been reviewed by
t he Police Department and then set for public hearing before the
City Council for their review and action. Mr. Baxter noted that
t he Police Chief is recommending approval on a trial basis, to
✓ eview for traffic and pedestrian problems prior to final
approval. Mr. Baxter noted that the recommended trial period was
from March 1, 1984 to June 30, 1984.
Mr. Baxter reviewed the conditions and terms that would be
✓ equired of the applicant, including description and number of
✓ ehicles, insurance requirements, rate schedule and other such
information.
Councilmember Risley felt that a test period of only 4 months was
n ot sufficient to analyze the effects of this business,
e specially considering the heavy summer traffic would not be
e ncountered.
Chief Howell stated that he felt uncomfortable with extending the
trial period into the summer months, because if problems were
e ncountered it would not be possible to correct them until the
license was expired.
The Council reviewed the application and conditions as stated,
and agreed that the trial period should extend only through June
30, 1984.
Mayor Shelton then opened the Public Hearing. There were no
comments or questions from the audience.
MOTION: Councilmember Lemons moved that the Public Hearing be
closed. The motion was seconded by Councilmember
Zeuschner and carried unanimously. (5-0)

REGULAR MEETING - JANUARY 9, 1984
PACE FOUR
A-3 CONSIDERATION OF ZONING CONDITIONS FOR T.V. SATELLITE DISH
ANTENNAS
Gary Napper stated that on December 15, the T.V. Franchise and
S ervices Board reviewed the zoning conditions imposed on T.V.
Satellite Dish Antennas, and recommended that they be re-
e valuated. The Board was of the opinion that the conditions were
too restrictive and interfered with the operation of the
antennas. Mr. Napper also noted that the Board felt that such
conditions did not allow for advances in technology that were
expected.
Rose Lane, member of the T.V. Board, stated that the Board felt
t he regulations were too restrictive and the required location
and placement of the antennas may prohibit installation or
t ransmission.
Mayor Shelton opened the Public Hearing.
Dale Auth, 2115 Seaview felt that the conditions should not be
t oo prohibitive, as the satellite antennas may eventually be a
✓ ital part of the emergency disaster communication system.
Alice Kolb, Planning Commissioner, stated that at the time the
✓ egulations were adopted, the Commission was not aware that the
antennas would be adversely affected by certain locations or
screening. Mrs. Kolb stated that she was sure the Commission
would reconsider given this new information.
MOTION: Councilmember Zeuschner moved that the Public Hearing
be closed. The motion was seconded by Councilmember
Anderson and carried unanimously. (5-0)
MOTION: Councilmember Zeuschner moved that the T.V. Board
reconsider this issue and make recommendations to be
forwarded to the Planning Commission for their action.

carried unanimously. (5-0)
A-4 AMENDMENT TO ORDINANCE NO. 22 AND SECTION 14.44.040 OF THE
MUNICIPAL BUILDING CODE RELATING TO CONSTRUCTION OF STREET
IMPROVEMENTS
Mr. Nichols reviewed the draft ordinance, and explained the need
for a change in the current regulations. Mr. Nichols noted that
the draft ordinance would require the construction of new curb
and gutter improvements to be at the expense of the developer

P AGE FIVE
✓ ather than the City as currently required. Mr. Nichols also
n oted that reconstruction of the street to centerline would be
✓ equired in some instances, also at the developer's expense.
Councilmember Lemons asked if it was the intent of this ordinance
to have the devioper pave the entire street along the property
boundary.
Mr. Nichols stated that this was the intent, if it was deemed
n ecessary.
Mayor Shelton opened the Public Hearing.
Dick Fisher, contractor, stated his opposition to this ordinance,
and felt that it placed too much expense upon the builder or a
single family residence to reconstruct the street. Mr. Fisher
stated that the street should be maintained by the City and not
the property owner. Mr. Fisher also spoke regarding repair of
d amaged street frontage.
Mr. Nichols stated that there were two separate issues involved,
that of repair of curb, gutter or street that has been damaged by
t he construction or construction vehicles, and that of
✓ eplacement of existing sub -standard paving.
Mr. Fisher felt that if the paving was not to standard and it was
damaged, no repair should have to be made.
Councilmember Lemons felt the ordinance was too broadly written.
Howard Gaines spoke in favor of the ordinance and felt that the
✓ esponsibility of repair and repaving should be on the property
tax payer and not the city.
Don West, architect, objected to the modification of the
o rdinance as too broadly written to properly estimate the costs
involved in building and felt that as written it could require
complete replacement of apparently sound streets.
Mr. McGregor felt that damage to streets by construction should
n ot be paid for by the City.
MOTION: Councilmember Risley moved that the Public Hearing be
closed. The motion was seconded by Councilmember
Zeuschner and carried unanimously.
Councilmember Anderson also felt that the ordinance was too all -
e ncompassing.
5
MORRO BAY CITY COUNCIL
REGULAR MEETING - JANUARY 9, 1984
Councilmember Risley felt there was a need for this ordinance or
a similar one, as development frequently does extensive damage to
the City's streets, and the City cannot afford to continue
repairing these damaged streets.
Councilmember Zeuschner noted that this ordinance could cause a
"patchwork" effect of street improvement or discourage infill
development.
Council discussed alternatives to this draft ordinance, and made
suggestions for revision.
Councilmember Risley felt that where there is a development or
building the street should never be left in worse condition than
when the improvement began and also noted that the developer
should be responsible for repairing any damage done during
building.
MOTION: Councilmember Zeuschner moved that this draft ordinance
be returned to staff to further revision as suggested
by Council, to address the issue of recovering damages
as well as consideration of other funding mechanisms
for street improvements. The motion was seconded by
Councilmember Lemons and carried unanimously. (5-0)

CONDI
Mr. Crump reveiwed the project and previous Planning Commission
action recommending approval for a Conditional Use Permit. Mr.
Crump noted that the applicant had made an earlier presentation
to Council asking for uses at this lease site, and now has
presented a formalized concept plan for approval.
Mayor Shelton then opened the Public Hearing.
Mr. Gunther spoke regarding his concerns that the projects
proposed dock length would interfere with the docking of boats at
his adjacent facililty, and felt that in its present form, the
DeGarimore dock would prevent larger vessels from entering his
dock.
Mr. Kim Gunther felt that although they had no objection to the
proposal itself, they would like to see some amendment to the
location and size of the dock to conform to the 12 1/2 foot
setback.

MOTION: Councilmember Risley moved to close the Public Hearing.
The motion was seconded by Councilmember Zeuschner and
carried unanimously. (5-0)
Mayor Shelton asked how the proposed dock was aligned.
Mr. Crump stated that previous Council action had been to allow
the dock to reach the property line.
Councilmember Risley stated that he was in favor of the project
however he felt the driveway length and width was akward and
should be widened for the first twenty feet or so. Councilmember
Risley urged the Planning Commission to consider methods to
alleviate this situation.
Council discussed possible ways to alleviate the dock problem,
and still allow both leasesites adequate room.
Cliff Smith, Harbor Commission, stated that the Commission had
concurred with the concept of the plan.
Councilmember Lemons inquired about the policy of setbacks for
these docks.
Mr. Baxter stated that it was not a fixed standard or policy, and
was not contained in any code regulation.
Mr. Nichols added that although there was a required 12' setback
for perpendicular slips, there was no such requirement for
parallel docks.
MOTION: Councilmember Zeuchner moved that the Council adopt the
Resolution approving CUP 34-83 with conditions, and
t hat a condition be added to provide for a satisfactory
✓ esolution to the issue of non-interference of the dock

AYES: Zeuschner, Shelton, Lemons, Risley
N OES: None
ABSENT: None
ABSTAIN: Anderson

TRACT MAP FOR AN 88 UNIT RESIDENTIAL PROJECT LOCATED AT THE
NE CORNER OF HWY 41 AND IRONWOOD
Mr. Crump reviewed the staff report and noted that in November of
1982 the City Council had requested that a focused EIR be
prepared for this project, and as the report had recently been
completed, it was now time for Council to make a determination on
t his project and the EIR. Mr. Crump noted that Council should
make findings regarding the project and if approved, the EIR
would then be certified.
Mr. Crump stated that the EIR would be reviewed by the
consultant, and introduced Stephanie Strelow.
Ms. Strelow made a brief presentation to Council summarizing the
major impacts and outlining the mitigation measures proposed for

that he felt the site design was appropriate for this area and
urged Council's approval of the project.
Mr. Charles Dills from the San Luis Obispo Archeologicl Society

for an archeologist to examine the site for signs of artifacts or
e vidence of use by the Indians.
Alice Kolb read a statement regarding the environmental quality
o f Morro Bay and the quality of life in the area, and felt that
this quality may be lost if development such as this are allowed.
Mrs. Kolb stated that the mitigating measures as suggested in the
EIR should be required and suggested other measures which might
be used also. Mrs. Kolb spoke regarding public concern and
o pinion regarding this project.
P eter Diffley felt that the project was not consistent with the
L and Use Plan and the infill concept.

Bob Lane did not feel that this project qualified as infill and
u rged Council to deny approval.
Howard Gaines stated that there was not enough time in the EIR
devoted to the impact of this project on local municipal services
such as water, sewer, police, fire, or schools.
Dan Lloyd, representative of the Fisher project, stated that the
focused EIR covered all the areas that were of concern to Council
at the time the EIR was requested. Mr. Lloyd also addressed
several of the concerns stated by members of the audience, and
n oted that the project was infill, and did conform to the Land
U se Plan in both design and density.
Councilmember Risley asked if Mr. Lloyd had any objections to any
o f the mitigation measures propopsed.
Mr. Lloyd stated that he did not object to any of the mitigating
measures with the exception of the suggested redesign of the
project. Mr.Lloyd felt that no redesign was necessary.

e quivalencies for this project.
Mr. Baxter stated that the development would have to compete in

✓ equested additional information regarding suggested mitigation
measures for this impact.

merit, however he would look into the matter.

on the Fisher project.
