Councilmember Risley requested that the Planning Commission
recommendation be more thoroughly explained.
Mr. Crump read the recommendation, and stated that the Planning
Commission had held a Public Hearing and received testimony on
t his item, and had recommended that it be approved and forwarded
t o the City Council. Mr. Crump noted that staff's recommendation
h ad been that this was not a 'timely' item, and recommended that
t he LUP not be amended at this time.
Mr. Ray Biering, representative of Mr. Merrill Williams, gave a
brief presentation to Council and the public, and stated that the
item at issue here was the appropriateness of the Agricultural
designation. Mr. Biering stated that there were no development
plans being submitted at this time, but that the applicant felt
that for long range planning and future development, this area
w as not appropriately designated. Mr. Biering noted that Mr.
Williams was concerned about the community and felt that this
area was the most logical for growth, and would have the fewest
e nvironmental impacts, the best access, and the most benefit to
t he community. Mr. Biering stated that Mr. Williams was anxious
t o receive public input regarding this proposal, and would be
interested in holding a town -hall meeting or other gathering to
allow both Mr. Williams and the community to exchange
information.
Mrs. Grace Melton spoke in favor of the change from agricultural
designation, and noted that possible development of a convention
center or other community facility would be beneficial to the
City.
Louis Craig Tucker stated that she was interested in seeing Morro
Bay improve, and was in favor of the rezoning to residential and
commercial.
Bud Moffett stated that the center built by Mr. Williams in Los
O sos had been very beneficial to the area, and was in favor of
t he redesignation of this area for future development.
Barbara Sanders felt that Morro Bay needs proper long range
planning and urged Council to approve the Land Use amendment.
Al Switzer also urged approval of the Planning Commission
recomendation as the logical area for expansion and future
development.
Marylou Marshall stated that the Grange was in opposition to any
change of existing agricultural land, and felt it would destroy
the natural water shed.

Regular Meeting - February 14, 1983

Bob Lane felt that amendment of the Land Use Plan would not be
beneficial to the community and said he could foresee development
of motels, markets, gas stations and other retail facilities, and
felt this would be detrimental to the existing downtown.
M'May Diffley, representing the Citizen's Action League, stated
that there was not sufficient water for any development of.this
area, and recommended that Council deny the Planning Commission's
recommendation.
Herminia Ward stated that the issue was not any development of
this area at this time, just amendment of the Land Use Plan to
refect an appropriate designation.
Austin Brumley felt that development of a shopping center would
cause an increase in crime and smog, and noted that there was not
adequate access in this area.
Ray Kaltenbach felt that the land is properly designated as
agricultural.
Charles Murdy spoke in favor of the Planning Commission
recommendation and felt that future development of the area would
increase the tax base and bring more business to town.
Ben Sanders also spoke in favor of the LUP amendment, and felt
that there was no real shopping area in Morro Bay now and it
would mean additional revenue and jobs for the City.
Howard Gaines objected to the amendment of the LUP and did not
feel that the area was suitable for residential use.
Dorotha Deutsch felt the issue was not the development of this
land but the redesignation to an appropriate land use, and urged
Council to consider the youth of the community who often are
forced to leave the area for lack of work.
P eter Diffley spoke in opposition to the Planning Commission
✓ ecommendation, and noted that there were 650 unbuilt lots in the
City, and stated that no additional residential housing was
n eeded.
Katherine Walling urged Council to deny the Planning Commission
✓ ecommendation.
S cotty Campbell felt that the issue should be brought to the
people at an election.
Jan VonKeogh also support a ballot measure to make this decision.

MOTION: Councilmember Zeuschner moved that the Public Hearing
be closed. The motion was seconded by Councilmember
Risley and carried by the following roll call vote:
AYES: 'Zeuschner, Risley, Anderson, Lemons, Shelton
NOES: None
ABSENT: None
Councilmember Zeuschner stated that several of the considerations
for Council to decide included the appropriateness of the
agricultural designation, long-term planning, the timeliness of
the amendment, as well as the economic impact on the community.
Councilmember Zeuschner felt that the project should have the
confidence of the citizens of Morro Bay, and felt that perhaps an
election would be the best way to measure this confidence.
Councilmember Risley noted that although the Planning Commission
had recommended approval of this amendment, the staff had
✓ ecommended against it. Councilmember Risley concurred with the
staff's recommendation, and felt that it would place constraints
o n municipal services and that with the potential for increased
✓ esidential units, there would not be sufficient water for other
areas of town. Councilmember Risley supported the idea of a
feasibility study but felt the Council should reject the
amendment at this time.
Councilmember Anderson stated that the Council was not here to
consider the "project" or development of this area, but strictly
the redesignation of the area from agricultural. Counci]m em ber
Anderson noted that he would not consider this prime agricultural
land, and that the Council would have ample opportunity to
consider an development proposed for this area.
Councilmember Lemons asked for a definition of agricultural land.
Mr. Crump stated that there are several grades of agricultural
land, and noted that the Coastal Commission had not considered
this as prime agricultural land.
Councilmember Lemons stated that he did not feel the potential
for development of this land was as great as previously
indicated, and noted that a feasibility study was a requirement
of this amendment already. Councilmember Lemons did not feel it
w ould be a disservice to the applicant to postpone discussion
u ntil responses can be made to the concerns given during public
testimony.

and reconvened at 9:24 p.m.

SUBLEASE FROM GRAHAM'S LANDING TO GREY HERON RESTAURANT
(Councilmember Anderson abstained from discussion or vote.)
Mr. Baxter stated that this matter had been continued from the
Council meeting of January loth, and Council's consideration was
whether a sublease agreement exists between the lessee and the
operator of the Blue Heron Restaurant. Mr. Baxter informed
Council that both the City Attorney and Mr. Wallace felt that the
agreement presented to Council at a previous meeting was in fact
a sublease.
Mr. Edward S. Orchan, representing Graham's Landing reviewed the
agreement and stated that as there was no interest in the Lease
Site conveyed by the agreement, it did not constitute a sublease.
Mr. Orchan stated his clients felt this was harrassment by the
City and there was no documentation of the alleged sublease.
Councilmember Risley questioned whether there was a use permit
for the Restaurant.
Mr. Orchan stated that this was a permitted use under the Lease.

Graham's Landing cafe.
Mayor Shelton opened the Hearing for public testimony.
Howard Gaines questioned whether this was a County Lease, and
whether the City had made inspections of the leasesite to check
t he improvements. Mr. Gaines also asked whether the payments due
from this site were in jeopardy.
Mr. Baxter stated that during reconstruction and remodeling of
t he leasesite, an inspection had been made.

regarding this matter.

concurred that this was in fact a sublease agreement, he had

SPECIAL COASTAL ZONE DISTRICT
Mr. Baxter reviewed the staff report regarding this Ordinance,
and noted that if amended, additional exemptions to the Use

Murrel Crump provided additional background for Council's
information, and noted that in addition to single family
dwellings, duplexes would now be exempted from the use permit
process also, along with other minor exemptions.

Mr. Baxter reviewed past Council action on the Draft Water
Management Plan, and noted that it had been approved by the State
with no changes. Mr. Baxter informed the Council that the Water
Advisory Board had taken four separate actions regarding this
plan: 1) to accept the plan as submitted; 2) to forward the
plan to the San Luis Obispo County Water Advisory Board; 3) to
strongly urge implementation of the plan; and 4) to recommend
to the City Council that the Water Advisory Committee be
continued.
Mayor Shelton opened the Public Hearing.
Peter Diffley spoke in favor of the plan, however, he offered
several suggestions for amendment to the Resolution approving the
plan. Mr. Diffley reviewed portions of the LCP and felt that the
language in the Resolution should be 'tightened" to more clearly
state its intent. Mr. Diffley suggested language to indicate that
the process of implementation of this plan is a step by step
process and each step should be validated prior to any approvals
of new subdivisions.
13
MORRO BAY CITY COUNCIL
Regular Meeting - February 14, 1983

Mr. Baxter noted that the Resolution is merely an administrative
vehicle, and only records Council's action and the language Mr.

to check the appropriate documents for adequate
language as suggested above. The motion was

A-5 APPEAL TO WEED ABATEMENT PROGRAM FOR CALENDAR YEAR 1982
Mr. Baxter stated that this was the annual Public Hearing for
grievances to the weed abatement program.
Mayor Shelton opened the Public Hearing.
Ray Kaltenback asked if the weed abatement could take place
earlier this coming year than last year, as the grass was at very
high level and several fires occurred before the abatement had
been completed.
Mr. Baxter explained that a late, heavy rainy season like last
year and this year caused excessive growth and crews could not
begin abatement until the rain had stopped.

Regular Meeting - February 14, 1983
Page Eleven
Mr. Baxter noted that this matter had been continued from a
previous meeting for Council's direction regarding acceptance or
denial of Bid 83-5. Mr. Baxter noted that if the City proceeds
with the bidding to continue the pipe replacement, and if the
pipe is purchased, there would not be sufficient funds in the
Water Budget to lay the pipe. Mr. Baxter suggested that since
the City currently has approximately 4,000 feet of pipe on hand,
that the bids be rejected.
MOTION: Councilmember Lemons moved that the City Council
accept the staff's recommendation and reject the
bid for water pipe, PW 83-5. The motion was
seconded by Couoncilmember Anderson and failed by
t he following roll call vote:
AYES: Lemons, Anderson
N OES: Risley, Zeuschner, Shelton
ABSENT: None
Bob Lane stated that there would be no means of continuing the
program anyway, and felt that a report on where the City stands
with the water line replacement project should be made public.
Mr. Baxter stated that the staff was preparing specifications for
bidding on the water line replacement program and these would be
✓ eady within 30 days. Mr. Baxter recommended that the bids be
✓ ejected and those funds used to continue the program in 83-84.
Mayor Shelton asked how much pipe was currently available.
Mr. Baxter stated that approximately 4,000 ft. was on hand, and
n oted that so far this year 2.6 miles of pipe had been laid.
Councilmember Risley requested that more information be made
availble on the pipeline project.
Mr. Anderson stated that a report could be prepared for Council.
Mr. Sibbach explained
purchases of pipe took
done mostly in the summer.
Mr. Baxter stated that if the bids were accepted, money could be
taken from contingencies for the cost of the labor to install the
pipe.
MOTION:

C. NEW BUSINESS
C-1 CONSIDERATION OF SUBLEASE FROM RON MYERS (LEASE SITES 80,
81), TO GOLD NUGGET SEAFOODS, INC.
Mr. Baxter stated that staff was recommending that this matter be
received for file, as it would be more appropriate to consider
when the sublease document has been prepared and submitted.
Councilmember Zeuschner asked if the Harbor Advisory Board should
be involved in this sublease.
Mr. Baxter stated that the Harbor Advisory Board will be
submitting a recommendation regarding the scope of their duties
and until then it might be best to continue as presently doing.
Mayor Shelton stated that as the Ordinance doesn't stipulate that
the Harbor Advisory Board should review any of the lease sites,
however, it would be something to consider.
Mr. Koblick stated that the Harbor Advisory Board would like to
review all matters pertaining to the waterfront.
Councilmember Anderson noted that much of the review and decision
making is of a legal nature, and the Harbor Advisory Board does
n ot have the resources or staff to determine the legality of the
u ses, etc. Councilmember Anderson also noted that the H.A.B.
should not be a policy making board, but that their reveiw and
✓ ecommendation would be helpful in some cases.
There was additional discussion regarding the charge of the
Harbor Advisory Board and the scope of their duties.
C-2
ENCROACHMENT FOR FAY LUZADER.
PER
Mr. Baxter noted for Council's information that correspondence
had been received from Mr. Roland G. Jacobus, in protest to a
Council decision to grant an encroachment permit to Mr. Fay
L uzader. Letters had also been received from Mr. Herman Sale,
and Mrs. Gladys Schwass, in protest of the Council decision,
h owever a second letter from Gladys Schwass withdrawing her
17
MORRO BAY CITY COUNCIL
Regular Meeting - February 14, 1983
P age Thirteen
protest had also been received by staff. Mr. Baxter stated that
a report from the Public Works Department detailed the history of
t his matter.
Mr. Jacobus spoke in opposition to the encroachment permit and
t he fence at 301 Fairview, and cited several sections of the
Municipal Code which he felt prohibited such structures. Mr.
Jacobus stated that the fence restricted his view and was an
eyesore to look at. Mr. Jacobus also stated that in his opinion,
no protection was needed from the golf course, as argued by Mr.
Luzader.
Mr. Luzader stated that he did need protection from stray golf
balls, and requested that his encroachment permit be upheld.
Councilmember Anderson stated that the report from the Public
Works Department had shown that Mr. Luzader was aware of the need
for a special permit and proceeded with his fence anyway.
Councilmember Anderson reviewed letters from Mr. John Bressan
regarding the need for a variance and encroachment permit.
Mr. Luzader stated that he had been given permission to go ahead
with the fence by a member of the Public Works Department staff.
Mayor Shelton noted that if he had been aware of the history of
this matter previously, and if he had seen the structure, he
w ould not have approved the encroachment permit. Mayor Shelton
n oted that the structure was indeed a fence and not merely a
screen.
There was discussion regarding the guidelines of the City
Ordinances concerning a fence on public right-of-way.
Councilmember Risley felt that Council had been remiss in their
previous action, and should revoke the encroachment permit.
Councilmember Risley stated that if this fence is allowed to
remain, others might show up everywhere, and noted that the
screening provided by the Council should be adequate.
Mayor Shelton agreed that perhaps Mr. Luzader should have gone
through the permit process, and concurred with Councilmember
Risley that the Council should revoke the encroachment permit.
Councilmember Lemons noted that Mr. Jacobus did not protest or
comment at the last meeting, even though he had the opportunity
t o do so. Councilmember Lemons noted that the County had
allocated money to repair the fence and plant additional trees in
t heir next fiscal year's budget, and perhaps the entire matter
would be solved at that point.

MOTION:
Councilmember Zeuschner moved that Council recind
their action of January 24, 1983, and revoke the

C-3 CONSIDERATION OF SAN LUIS AMBULANCE RATE INCREASE REQUEST
Mr. Baxter informed Council that San Luis Ambulance had applied
for a rate increase, and this increase had been approved by the
Board of Supervisors. For this increase to be enacted within the
City of Morro Bay, it must be ratified by the Council. Mr.
Baxter noted that staff had reviewed the information submitted,
and did not feel there was sufficient data to base a rate
increase on at this time, and was recommending that Council defer
action until April, when additional information will be
submitted. However, it was staff's recommendation, that the
rates for the EMT II services be approved, as these services are
available at this time.
Mayor Shelton suggested that a public hearing be held prior to
any rate increase in April.
There was a brief discussion by Council of the proposed rate
increase for EMTII services.
MOTION: Councilmember Zeuschner moved that Council accept the
staff recommendation and approve the establishment of
EMT II service rates as proposed, but defer adoption
of other requested rate increases until further
financial analysis is available. The motion was
seconded by Councilmember Lemons and carried by the
following roll call vote:
AYES: Zeuschner, Lemons, Anderson, Risley, Shelton

Mayor Shelton then recommended the
ad -hoc Golf Course Advisory Board:

Councilmember Anderson suggested that Steve MacElvaine be
contacted and asked to sit as a non -voting, of ex-officio member
on the Board, to share his knowledge and experience with the
group.
There was a short discussion on the goals and objectives of the
committee, and Council concurred that the main goal would be to
expedite acquisition of the golf course and refine a management
plan for operation of the course.
Councilmember Risley inquired as to the financial status of the
course.
Councilmember Lemons noted that all financial information is
available upon request from the County.
MOTION: Councilmember Zeuschner moved that Council confirm
t he appointment of the seven members named by the
Mayor to the ad -hoc Golf Advisory Board, that Council
direct staff to contact Steve MacElvaine and request
h e sit as an ex-officio member on the Board, and
t hat the remaining applicants not selected be asked
t o sit as alternate members to the board. The
motion was seconded by Councilmember Anderson and
carried unanimously. (5-0)
C-5 APPOINTMENT OF ALTERNATE TO THE SAN LUIS OBISPO WATER
