BAY CITY COUNCIL
December 27, 1971
Mayor Mitchell explained that this was a request for negotia-
tions'of an assessment district to construct a new road from
Atascadero Road to Azure Street.
Mr. Little informed the Council that the people involved
as property owners were Mr. Den-Dulk, Odekirk Investment Corpor-
ation, Mr. Robert Johnson and the School District. The School
District would be exempted from assessments.
It was noted that the City would have no financial responsi-
bilities other than that of guarantor of the bonds. Mr. Little
pointed out that this would be very secure because of the value
of the property. Approval of this request would not be obligating
the City to the formation of an assessment district, but would
initiate proceedings to form one. The City would have the say in
how the road is to be built and the conditions.
MOTION: Councilman Donohoo moved that the request for
this type of financing for the proposed road
be approved. The motion was seconded by
Councilman Keiser.

NOvember 16, 1971 were considered by the Council.
MOTION: Councilman McConaghay moved that the minutes be

HEARINGS, APPEARANCES AND REPORTS
A-1 Appeal of Jones Ambulance Service from Planning Commission con-
ditions set on Conditional Use Permit
Mayor Mitchell called on Planning Director, Ned Rogoway, to pre-
sent to the Council the Planning Commission's reasons for the con-
ditions set on this use permit.
Mr. Rogoway outlined the Planning Commission's conditions set
on the Use Permit and their reasons for these. He stated that the
applicant was appealing those conditions which stated that the ambu-
lance siren was not to blow in an R-1 Zone and that he construct a
sound barrier between the subject property and the adjoining motel.
He stated that the Planning Commission felt these were reasonable
conditions.
Mayor Mitchell declared the Public Hearing open at 7:40 p.m.
and called for those wishing to speak in favor of the appeal.
David Flock, owner -operator of Jones Ambulance Service spoke in
behalf of his appeal. He stated that he had erected a fence between
his property and the motel and he felt any other construction on his
part was unnecessary. He told the Council that the only noise coming
from his property wasn't any more than that which would come from a
normal family living next door.
Mr. Ray Teixeira, Sr. told the Council that it was only necessary
to blow sirens at intersections; otherwise, the flashing red light
is enough to warn people of the approach of an emergency vehicle.
Mayor Mitchell called for those wishing to speak in opposition
of the appeal.
Mr. Fred Hall, owner of the motel next door to Jones Ambulance
Service, and Mr. Schilzonyi spoke in opposition to Mr. Flock's appeal.
Mr. Clarence Teixeira informed the Council that the Fire Depart-

is right in the same area and he couldn't see that the ambulance
service could make any more noise than they do.
Mayor Mitchell called for rebuttal on the part of the appli-
cant and Mr. Flock spoke briefly in answer to those in opposition.
Mayor Mitchell declared the hearing closed at 8:02 p.m. and
the matter went to Council discussion.
Further discussion ensued centered around the Planning Commis-
sion's intention in the matter of the construction of a sound barrier.
Councilman McConaghay felt that a sound barrier construction would
be a waste of money as it could only be built to a minimum height and
the noise would travel up to the motel rooms located above the pro-
posed wall. It was noted by those in opposition to the appeal that
if Mr. Flock enclosed the carport where the ambulance is parked and
insulated it, then the problem would no longer exist.
MOTION: Councilman McConaghay moved that this matter be
referred back to the Planning Commission and that
they work with Mr. Flock to come up with a prac-
tical solution that will decrease the noise to the
minimum' -from the ambulance service. The motion
was seconded by Councilman Donchoo and unanimously
carried.
A-2 Appeal of Odekirk Investment, Corp. from Planning Commission's
denial of Conditional Use Permit
Mayor Mitchell called on Mr. Rogoway to present the Planning
Commission's reasons for denial. Mr. Rogoway referred to his written
report to the Council outlining nine points for the denial.
Mayor Mitchell declared the hearing open at 8:35 p.m. and asked
for presentation by those favoring the appeal. Mr. Dwight W. Spiers,
Vice -President of Odekirk Investment Corporation presented to the
Council his corporation's plans for this property. He supplied
statistics outlining Morro Bay's need for this type of development
and described the plans they have for the property which includes
some 375 vehicle spaces, five tot lots, four mini parks, a large
recreation building, and maintaining the westerly portion of the pro-
perty in natural sand dunes. He pointed out the number of people
Morro Bay has to turn away because of lack of space each year and
the number they will have to turn away in the future. He then proceeded
to refute the objections the Planning Comm. made on the use and urged
the Council to find 'this a good and proper use.
RECESS 9:08 P.M.
RECONVENED 9:17 p.m.
Mayor Mitchell reminded the people of.the proper way to present
their views and called for any other wishing to speak in favor of the
use permit.
Those speaking in favor were Joseph C. Giannini, Marine Service
and Equipment owner and Sun publisher; Jack Jennings, owner -operator
of Silver City Trailer Park; Tex Kurtz, owner -operator of the Villager
Motel; John Mitchell, manager of Port Morro; Clarence Teixeira of Tex's
Paint & Body Shop; Tom Wise, Cuesta College student; Dwight Carlisle,

the Travel Haven Motel; Terry Hulsebus, Chamber of Commerce presi-
dent and local businessman; Gary Winch of Winch's Shell Station;
Lois Rowland of Lols Rowland's dress 'shop; and Bill Boehm, realtor.
Those speaking in opposition to the appeal were Nolan Desert,
Daryl Erickson, and Mr. Schilzonyi.
Mayor Mitchell called for rebuttal to any of the opposition and,
as there was none, requested Mr. Rogoway to give his professional
opinion as a Planning Director of this project.
Mr. Rogoway explained to the Council that his recommendation to the
Planning Commission approved of this use because of the City's need
for this kind of facility, but he was supporting the Planning Commis-
sion's decision in this matter. He stated that the Planning Commission
sees the need for the development of this land, but they do not feel
that this is the right use, they prefer to wait until the right one
does come along and it will. This land will not go unused, but the
Council must be very careful with its decision of the use because of
the value of the location of the land. He stated that the Planning
Commission felt that esthetically and economically there is a better
use for this land. When asked his personal opinion, Mr. Rogoway
stated that he felt the recreational resort should be located near
the recreational resource.
Further discussion resulted with Planning Commissioner McGona-
gill giving opinions. Discussion centered around alternate uses Tdr
this land and questions were directed at Mr. Spiers, who in turn
introduced Mr. Odekirk, President of Odekirk Investment Corporation.
Mr. Odekirk stated that the plans were in the best interests of the
City of Morro Bay and were for the City. He said they were prepared
to start construction within sixty to ninety days and should be able
to accept business in the summer of 1972.
Councilman Keiser stated she felt that the City owed the people
a right to get down to the beaches and that they should not be limited
to a select few.
Mayor Mitchell closed the Public Hearing at 10:30 p.m. for City
Council discussion.
Councilman McConaghay requested knowledge as to what the City
of Morro Bay does with the people who continua— coming to Morro Bay
and have no place to stay.
MOTION: Councilman McConaghay moved that the development of
this Recreation Vehicle Park be authorized. The
motion was seconded by Councilman Keiser.
Mayor Mitchell stated that he was in favor of this proposal also.
He felt that the City must decide if it is or is not a tourist com-
munity. If it is, something must be done for:the tourists. He felt
that the beaches do not belong to the City of Morro Bay but to all
people and they must be used to the advantage of most of the people.
He pointed out that the State of California, if they felt necessary,
would intervene and develop land as they saw fit without asking the
City how they felt about it, as they did with Atascadero Beach State
Park.

year's events. of the Centennial Committee in the form of a scrap
book. She informed them of the items left over from various acti-
vities and recommendations for their disposal and presented the
City with a check in the amount of $7,084.94.as the'total amount
left after the year's activities. With this check was the Centen-
nial Committee's recommendation that it be used for a stairway to
connect Morro Bay Boulevard with the Embarcadero and that the stair-
way be named the Centennial Stairway.
She then informed the Council that the Downtown Merchants
Association%are to have open house on Monday, November 29, 1971 and
formally invited the Council to attend. She passed out programs to
the Council members as she explained the various events of the
evening.
Mayor Mitchell thanked the CentennialCommittee on behalf of

connecting the two parts of town is a very good idea.
Councilman McConaghay expressed special thanks to all those who
worked so hard to make Morro Bay's Centennial year a successful one.
Councilman Keiser requested Staff to write a letter to the
Committee members expressing gratitude for their contribution to the
City.

the City's General Fund account.

monies be put in a special fund. Councilman
Keiser seconded the amendment and the motion was
carried unanimously.
UNFINISHED BUSINESS
B-1 Proposed ordinance amending Zoning Ordinance
Mr. Rogoway went over the proposed amendments submitted by the
Planning Commission for the Zoning Ordinance with the Council. Mayor
Mitchell requested that the portions of the proposed ordinance which
referred to sections of the California Health and Safety Code be
written out instead of referring the reader back to the Code. He
felt that the Code changed often enough to perhaps change the mean-
ing of the ordinance without the Council's, knowledge or intention.
B-2 Recommendations of Planning Commission regarding self-service
fuel dispensing facilities.
Mr. Rogoway went over the Planning Commission's recommendations
for this definition with the Council. Mayor Mitchell questioned Mr.
Rogoway as to why the Planning Commission felt that a service station
should be required to sell tires and batteries. Mr. Rogoway stated
that the Planning Commission felt these were proper uses for a
service station and the self service station would be allowed in a
C-H Zone under the amendments.
MOTION: Mayor Mitchell moved that Staff be directed to draw
up the proposed ordinance which would include the
recommendation that self-service dispensing facili-
ties be allowed in the C-H Zone'and add the various
definitions of the Health and Safety Code in full.
The motion was seconded by Councilman McConaghay
and unanimously carried.

just approved assignment to Mr. Eddy, his request was no longer in
order.

tion on Lease Site No. 110W-112W - Carver and Linwall Estates
Mayor Mitchell explained that before plans could be drawn up
for construction, Mr. Carver and Mr..Lindwall had died.'Because of
complications in settling the two estates, more time is needed to
comply with the lease which requires that construction begin by
February of 1972.
Mr. Little stated that the Council's concern should be that the
parties involved do not attempt to use any extension approved for
time in which to sell the lease.

Mayor Mitchell informed the Council that he had received a

would allow Mr. Giannini to appear. The Council had no objections.
Mr. Giannini related to the Council the results of the ques-
tionaire placed in The Sun two weeks ago asking citizens how they
felt about a boat marina along Coleman Drive and the bridge connect-
ing Morro Creek to Highway 41. He stated that he had approximately
100 to 105 answers and that the general consensus was that the
people did not want these developments in Morro Bay and that the
Council, using this as an initiative, should voluntarily place this
matter on the April ballot for the people's determination. He said
that if the Council decided against this, he would begin circulating
a petition to force the matter.
Mayor Mitchell stated that he would not be in favor of placing
this matter on the April ballot without the backing of a petition
because he did not feel that 100 people properly represented the
majority of the people and how they felt.

deration.
Mr. Giannini was recognized by Mayor Mitchell and stated that
he felt the Council should set guidelines to go by so that people
who lease these sites would not do so and turn around and sell them
at a profit within a year.
Mayor Mitchell stated that all that was needed to deter this,
was to shorten the length of time allowed to begin development. If
the lessee did not begin development within a certain length of
time, the lease would be declared void.
The motion was unanimously carried.

NEW BUSINESS
C-1 Request of Chamber of Commerce for carnival
Mayor Mitchell explained that the Chamber was requesting the
use of the area known as the City Yard for a carnival of kiddie
rides on December 3, 4, 5, 1971, and also that the business
license fee be waived on the basis of a non-profit organization.
Mr. Duke, Chamber Director, explained to the Council that
WES Shows, the business that would put on the carnival, will be
taking a chance on losing money on this event as this is an "off
season" for carnivals. He stated that they were willing to take
the chance with a 75% to WES Shows and 25% to the Chamber of
Commerce for monies collected over the first $1,000.00. It was
possible that there would be no profit on this activity.
Mayor Mitchell asked if the business license ordinance per-
mitted the Council to waive the license fee.
Mr. Warden informed the Council that if the business was
classified as a non-profit organization, then it was within the
Council's power to do so. He stated that the WES Shows should
be required to repair any damage to the black top on the area if
stakes were driven into the ground in setting up the equipment
and that the Council could possibly require a business fee if the
show itself made a profit. He further stated that the fee for a
carnival was $100.00 a day.
Mayor Mitchell stated that he did not think that the carnival
was. a non-profit organization, but he had no objections to the fee
being waived on the percentage of the profit which was for the
Chamber of Commerce. Councilman Donohoo informed the Council that
the Internal Revenue Service regards the Chamber of Commerce as
a non-profit organization.
Acting City Attorney, Mike Le Sage, requested that the Council
postpone action on this until after the recess when a copy of the
business license could be obtained and perhaps clear the matter up.
Council concurred.

Use Permit granted by Planning Commission on 10-4-71

leasehold interests in Lease Site No. 15 to Mr. and Mrs.
Louis M. Gossner
Mayor Mitchell requested Mr. Gossner to describe, for the benefit
of the Council, the location of the property in question.
MOTION: Councilman Donohoo moved that Staff be authorized to pro-
ceed with the transfer. The motion was seconded by
Mayor Mitchell.
Councilman McConaghay stated that this lease was just recently
put out to bid and that it should possibly be put out to bid again
or at least consideration should be given to other applicants who
had originally applied for the lease. Mayor Mitchell explained
that it was the prerogative of the lease holder to assign his lease
in this manner with the permission of the City Council.
Joseph C. Giannini was recognized by the Mayor and stated that
the Council should be careful about the assignment of leases within
the City. He felt that leaseholders could obtain a lease and sell it
at a handsome profit.
The motion was unanimously carried.
Mr. Warden informed the Council that Staff had prepared two
resolutions for their consideration; one for the change in uses
approved by the Planning Commission and one for the transfer.

Le Sage in regards to the exemption of a fee for the proposed
carnival. Mr. Le Sage quoted Section 6108 of Ordinance No 89
which allows exemptions for charitable and non-profit organiza-
tions. He state3that since WES Shows is clearly not a non-profit
organization and would derive a profit from this activity, the
exemption should not be allowed.
Mayor Mitchell stated that the Council could authorize the
carnival but could not issue a no -fee business license for it.
Mr. Terry Hulsebus, Chamber president, accepted the Council's
decision and requested that they authorize the carnival to be held
and meanwhile they would try to work out their financial difficulties.

the purpose of conducting cruises for the general public outside

Ordinance definition was explicit and unambiguous and did not re-
quire amendments in order to be applied to self-service gasoline
dispensing facilities.

Mayor Mitchell
ABSENT: None
Mayor Mitchell explained that the purpose of this meeting was
to receive a report from Mr. Little on the City's request to Koebig
and Koebig, Inc. for information on a feasibility report.
Mr. Little informed the Council of his conversations with
Rod Lundin of Koebig and Koebig and Mr. Bill Satow from the
Department of Navigation and Ocean Development. He stated that
as a result of these conversations, he did not believe that it
was possible to have funds set aside in the 1972-73 state budget
for a loan to the City of Morro Bay for a marina development. Mr.
Rod Lundin did not feel that they could do a thorough job of
studying this matter in the time allowed., If the Council decides
that City development of the marina is desirable, then it would
be necessary to submit an application for a loan by the first part
of 1972 to obtain funding in 1973-74. Mr. Little said that one of
the major problems facing any development in Morro Bay is the
completion of the County Comprehensive Environmental Plan Program
for Morro Bay and its environs.
After further discussion, Mayor Mitchell requested that the
committee on marina development continue to meet and bring recom-
mendations to the Council.
MOTION: Councilman Donohoo moved that the meeting be adjourned.
The motion was seconded by Councilman Walters and
unanimously carried.
The meeting adjourned at 5:23 p.m.

Appearing for the students was Melvin Souza, agricultural
instructor at Morro Bay High School. He briefly explained the
projects of the students belonging to 4-H and FFA as involving
the purchasing, raising, exhibiting and marketing of sheep and
other livestock and stated that the students did not wish to violate

projects. At this time, the organizations were asking for an
amendment to the ordinance allowing for sixty days out of the year
in which to raise various animals for exhibiting and proposed an
agreement which the students would agree to in order to regulate
and control these projects.

study this matter; the committee to consist of Council members,

they would also appoint two students to serve.
A-2 Appearance of Joseph C. Giannini regarding the sand spit
Mr. Giannini expressed his concern over the zoning of the sand
spit which is Planned Development. It was his opinion that the
connotation of Planned Development invited development. He be-
lieved that the Council should take steps to change this zoning to
Open Area so that it could not be developed. He also wanted to
know the Council's position as far as purchasing the lots that
Green West Acres owns on this property. He reminded the Council
that negotiations had been started a few years ago but, since
then, nothing has been done to obtain this; property.
Mr. Little reviewed past negotiations with Green West Acres
at the request of the Council. He also pointed out that if the
Council did change the zoning on the sand spit from Planned Develop-
ment to Open Area, this would not prevent a succeeding Council from
changing'it back again.
Mr. Giannini contended that the Council should take this
additional step to rezone this area if only as a protective measure.
Mayor Mitchell stated that this should be referred to the
Planning Commission for any zoning changes.
MOTION: Councilman McConaghay moved that this matter be
referred to the Planning Commission for study as
to the possibility of rezoning and also that the
Council receive a legal opinion as to the right of
access to the property by the property owners on this
land. The motion was seconded by Councilman Keiser
and unanimously carried.
A_3 Appearance of Jack Gaddis concerning Lease Site #27 (Eytcheson)
Mr. Bruce Dodson introduced himself speaking in behalf of
the lessees. He stated that he was part of the partnership of
Jack L. Gaddis, Davis -King Development Company, William L. West
and Eldridge Jones which wished to have Lease Site #27 trans-
ferred to themselves, having already obtained the permission of
the present lessees. He stated that all conditions noted in Mr.
Little's letter of April 16, 1971 regarding the extension of the
expired lease, have been conplied with and that they were now
requesting that the City Council authorize negotiations to begin
for a new lease.
Mayor Mitchell asked for Staff recommendations on the matter
and Mr. Little informed the Council of past negotiations relative
to this lease site and stated that all requirements of the con-
ditions set forth in the extention of this lease have been met.
MOTION: Mayor Mitchell moved that Staff be directed to
negotiate with the proposed partnership for the
development of a new lease. The motion was seconded
by Councilman McConaghay and unanimously carried.

the vehicles are located. He declared the hearing open at 8:20 p.m.
and called for any presentations regarding these vehicles. As

A-5 Public hearing on appeal of Margaret Nemo from Planning
Commission denial of conditional use permit
Mayor Mitchell declared the hearing open at 8:22 p.m. and
called for presentation by the applicant.
Mr. Bernard R. Schulhof, attorney for Margaret Nemo, spoke
in her behalf. He stated that instead of applying for a conditional
use permit, they were proceeding on the basis of a non -conforming
use. In accordance with this, Mrs. Nemo intended to u'se the building
in a manner similiar to the 'one for which it was previously used. He
proceeded to inform the Council regarding the appearance of the
structure and the intended use as'a storage place for vehicle equip-
ment.
After Mr. Schulhof's presentation, Mayor Mitchell asked if
anyone else would like to appear on behalf of the appeal. As there
were no other presentations, he then asked for those wishing to
speak in opposition.
Mr. William Thomas, Planning and Building Superintendent, was
asked to present the Planning Commission's view on this matter. He
stated that he originally denied the use permit because of the con-
dition of the building, at which time the applicant requested appear-
ance before the Planning Commission. The Planning Commission also
determined that the building was in a dilapidated condition and,
therefore, denied the use permit.
Mr. Schulhof spoke briefly in rebuttal to these statements.
Mayor Mitchell declared the public hearing closed at 8:37 p.m.
He stated that his views were in accordance with the Planning
Commission and made the following motion:
MOTION: Mayor Mitchell moved that the Council uphold the
decision of the Planning Commission and deny the
appeal. The motion was seconded by Councilman
Donohoo and unanimously carried.
Mr. Schulhof then asked for an itemized list of the structural
deficiencies of the building so that the applicant can remedy these

B-6 Consideration of changes to proposed harbor ordinance.
Mr. Little reviewed some changes to the proposed harbor
ordinance for the Council. He stated that he had been doing some
further research into this matter with other harbors up and down
the coast and suggested that the Council meet again to consider
some new developments. One item he was especially concerned with
was the people using their boats for abodes. He thought it would
be a good idea for the Council to make it unlawful for people
to live aboard a boat.
Further discussion was held relative to the harbor ordinance
and it was decided that Staff would slate a committee meeting for
further study of the proposed harbor ordinance.
B-7 Staff recommendations - Engineering services for curb and
gutter grades

for City Council to follow regarding engineering services for curb
and gutter grades. The policy states that City Council approval
shall be required whenever the estimated cost of the total engineer-
ing street and utility work required to set curb and gutter grades
exceeds the estimated cost of the curbs and gutters which are to
be installed.
MOTION: Mayor Mitchell moved that the Council establish a
policy that City provide the engineering services
for installation of curb and gutter installation
but that service, including anything other than
engineering services that the City must provide
to perform this task, not exceed the cost of
installation. In such case, the matter must be
brought before the Council for approval. The
motion was seconded by Councilman Donohoo and
unanimously carried.

claim be denied.
MOTION: Councilman Donohoo moved that the claim of Renney D.
Tomlinson against the City of Morro Bay be denied.
The motion was seconded by Councilman McConaghay and
unanimously carried.

C-3 Agreement for services between the City of Morro Bay and
Woods Animal Shelter
The proposed agreement between the City of Morro Bay and Woods
Animal Shelter was considered by the Council. Mayor Mitchell noted
that even though Woods Animal Shelter had increased their rates by
15%, the amount the City is obligated to pay is less than it has
been previously because the population of Morro Bay is not what it
was based on before the census was taken. The City, under the
new agreement will pay a monthly amount of $415.00.
MOTION: Councilman Donohoo moved that the agreement between
the City of Morro Bay and Woods Animal Shelter be
approved. The motion was seconded by Mayor Mitchell
and unanimously carried.
C_4 Proposed ordinance amending sections of the Weed Abatement
Ordinance
Mayor Mitchell explained that the present Weed Abatement
Ordinance provides for a period of ten days to elapse before
garbage can be removed from property, the garbage being a health
hazard. He pointed out that this could become a serious health
hazard if this amount of time is allowed to elapse before garbage
can be removed by the City. Chief Rieger elaborated on this
matter for the Council.
Councilman McConaghay requested that this matter be deferred
until the next regularly scheduled Council meeting for further study
of this matter and the existing ordinance.
Staff was directed to schedule this item on the next agenda.
C-5 Feasibility study on proposed Coleman Drive Marina
Mayor Mitchell asked Mr. Little to report on his research in
this matter. Mr. Little advised the Council that it would be necessary
for a feasibility report to be made to present to the Department of
Navigation and Ocean Development prior to'October 31, 1971, in order
to be included in their 1972-73 budget. Mr. Little stated that he
had been in contact with Mr. Rod Lundin of Koebig and Koebig asking
them if it would be possible for them to make this study. Mr. Lundin
informed Mr. Little that he would have to do some research himself
on this matter, such as inquiring with governmental agencies, and
would report back to him on Tuesday afternoon or Wednesday morning.
Mr. Little asked if the Council would adjourn this meeting to 5:00
p.m. Wednesday afternoon, October 14, 1971, to hear the results of
Mr. Lundin's research.

The motion died for lack of a second.
Councilman McConaghay stated that he had been having second
thoughts on this matter since it was discussed at the last meeting
and that, since the City has waited this long to develop a manna,
he could not see the harm in postponing it for another year and
not hurrying the matter.
MOTION: Councilman McConaghay moved that this matter be deferred
without attempting to get the report by the end of

Walters and failed on the following roll call vote.

mitted the low bid for performing the work and the contractor has

Report of joint City Council/Planning Commission and
Staff committee on proposed marina development adjacent
to Coleman Drive.
Mayor Mitchell explained that the purpose of the meeting was
to consider the recommendations of the special committee consisting
of Councilmen McConaghay and Walters, Planning Commissioners Brown
and McGonagill, and Staff members Mr. Little and Mr. Warden. The
committee was appointed to study and establish guidelines for the
development of docking facilities on City administered water front
lease areas with specific attention directed to the area adjacent
to Coleman Drive.
Councilman McConaghay gave the committee's report and read the
proposed recommendations. Mr. Little explained that the committee
had decided to make their recommendations around these general
guidelines to suit anyone wishing to develop the site and not for
just a specific use.
Further discussion followed with conversation centered around
the ecology aspect of the project.
Report of Staff on possible alternate method for develop-
ment and operation of proposed Coleman Drive marina.
Mr. Little explained that at the committee meeting, the question
came up that possibly the City should give consideration to the
building and operation or the building and leasing of the marina
rather than the development of this marina by private enterprise.
The City would then have absolute and complete control over the
development and the way in which the area was operated. The
committee discussed how this would be financed if the City would
decide to control it. Mr. Little stated that he had contacted the
State Department of Navigation and Ocean Development and that in
order to obtain funds from tliem for financing, the City must request
this financing by October 31, 1971 to obtain it in 1972-73. He
stated that all that was required at this meeting was for the City
Council to decide if City building and operation of the area under
discussion was desirable or not. If the Council decided that it

HEARINGS, APPEARANCES, AND REPORTS
A-1 Public Hearing on appeal of Mr. Donald C. McElmoyl from Planning
Commission denial of variance and use permit
It was noted that Mr. McElmoyl was not present at this hearing.
The public hearing was declared open at 7:33 p.m. by Mayor. -Mitchell
and he asked for presentations by anyone wishing to speak in favor
of the variance and use permit. As there was no one wishing to speak
in favor of this matter, Mayor Mitchell then called for those wish-
ing to speak in protest.
Mr. and Mrs. Max Anders, Mrs. Kit Walling, Eleanore Bond, Mrs.
Gary Owens, Virginia Neely, and Frank Thompson spoke in opposition
to this variance and use permit.
Mayor Mitchell declared the hearing closed at 7:41 p.m.
MOTION: Councilman Donohoo moved that the Council deny the request
of Donald C. McElmoyl for a variance and use permit. The
motion was seconded by Councilman McConaghay and unanimously
carried.
Councilman Keiser asked for clarification of the Planning
Commission's denial of the variance and use permit. Ned Rogoway,
Planning Director was present and stated that the variance was denied
because there was not enough land for parking space and this, in
turn, led to the denial of the use permit.
A-2 Public Hearing on appeal of T. A. and Juana Gaoiran from
Planning Commission denial of conditional use permit
Mayor Mitchell asked Planning Director, Ned Rogoway to explain
the Planning Commission's denial of this request. Mr. Rogoway
stated that the Planning Commission classified this business as a
service station and that it does not fill the requirements as a
service station according to the zoning ordinance.

BAY CITY COUNCIL
September 14, 1971
Further discussion followed with opinions from Acting City
Attorney, Mike LeSage. He stated that the, definition of service
station as defined in the zoning ordinance is obscure and he felt
that the self-service gas station should come under the classifica-
tion of retail sales not within a building.
Mayor Mitchell felt that the Council must decide if the Planning
Commission had interpreted the ordinance properly.
The public hearing was declared open at 8:02 p.m.
Those speaking in favor of the conditional use permit were
Jack Daly of Sav-Mor Oil Company of Los Angeles, Judge Fred A.
Schenk, Jr. representing Sav-Mor Oil Company and T. A. Gaoiran.
Judge Schenk pointed out that the Planning Commission was in error
when they made the motion against this conditional use permit because
the portion of the ordinance they referred to in their motion has
since been amended and is no longer in effect.
Mayor Mitchell called for presentations from those protesting
the use permit.
Those speaking against the conditional use permit were Julian
J. Santos of Shorty's Gulf Station; Mr. Willis 0. Gooden, a property
owner; Catherine Bell and Gary A. Winch of Winch's Shell Service.
Mayor Mitchell then called for rebuttal by those favoring the
conditional use permit at which time Mr. Daly and Judge Schenk
spoke in answer to some of the objections raised against this use
permit.
The public hearing was declared closed at 9:13 p.m.
Mayor Mitchell stated that he felt that this service definitely
could not be classified as a service station; it should be listed
under retail sales not within a building. Councilman Donohoo agreed
with the Mayor. Mr. LeSage pointed out that, if this was to be con-
sidered as a retail sales not within a building, it should be re-
ferred back to the Planning Commission for reconsideration under this
classification since the Planning Commission had made their decision
on the basis of the service being classified as a service station.
Councilman McConaghay felt that, as the Planning Commission had
been appointed to act in behalf of the City Council, the Council
should accept their decision in this matter.
Further discussion ensued.
MOTION: Mayor Mitchell moved that the appeal be granted and the
matter be referred back to the Planning Commission for
imposition of those requirements that they see fit. The
motion was seconded by Councilman Donohoo.
Mr. LeSage asked that the motion include the Council's intention
that this business be defined under a retail sales not within a
building. Mayor Mitchell amended his motion to include this.
The motion passed on the following roll call vote.

A-3 Appearance of John W. Lawson re vehicle abatement program
Mr. Lawson appeared to express his views on Police Department
CR# 711315 regarding a Cadillac on property at 1030 Morro
Avenue. He maintained that any Cadillac was an asset to the
community and could not constitute an eyesore and further stated
that the Police Department's letter to him was a violation of his
constitutional rights. He proceeded to read some of his constitu-
tional rights.
Mayor Mitchell explained to him that the Constitution also
provided for control of the property owner and that the police
department was within their rights in requesting the removal of
this vehicle. He established the fact that the car had been removed
and that the problem no longer existed.
A-4 Appearance of Dan Stack re regional recreation center
Mr. Stack reported on his research in regard to acquisition of
land at Camp San Luis Obispo. He cited numerous agencies which
grants may be obtained from and also listed projects for the land,
the cost for each and various clubs and local organizations who
would be able to donate time and money to the projects. He suggested
a joint powers agreement between the City of Morro Bay, San Luis
Obispo and the county and told the Council of his plans to request
an appearance at the San Luis Obispo Planning Commission meeting
next week to go over the matter with them.
Councilman Keiser asked Mr. Rogoway if he could express the
County's feeling on this matter. Mr. Rogoway reported on the County's
progress to obtain 750 of the acreas available at this site and
stated that he felt Mr. Stack's proposal would be well received by
the County.
Councilman McConaghay suggested that Mr. Stack inform Mr. Little
of the City of San Luis Obispo's reception of this matter. Mr.
Little can report to the Council and they can go from there.
A-5 Report of solid waste disposal committee on compulsory garbage
ordinance
Councilman McConaghay reported on the solid waste disposal
committee meeting and their recommendations regarding a compulsory
garbage ordinance. The members of the meeting had decided that a
compulsory garbage ordinance is not in order at this time due to
the number of accounts which have been added by the Morro Bay Garbage
Service. The committee recommends to the Council, instead, that
they amend the present garbage ordinance to prohibit all open
burning within the City at' all times and also to make it illegal
to dispose of refuse! accumulated at residential or commercial estab-
lishments within the City in City owned containers.
MOTION: Councilman McConaghay moved that Staff be directed to
prepare the necessary amendments to the existing garbage
ordinance. The motion was seconded by Councilman Keiser.

Councilman McConaghay noted that the Morro Bay Garbage Service
had offered to carry away tree trimmings and weeds at a nominal fee.
Further discussion ensued. Boat bilge refuse was a matter of
concern with Mr. Giannini speaking from the audience stating that
the portion of the harbor ordinance which makes it unlawful for any-
one to pump waste into the bay be maintained in the ordinance.
Councilman Keiser pointed out that this could not be done as the
government has not as yet made any law regarding this matter and
therefore the law could not be enforced.
Councilman Keiser asked Mr. LeSage if he would find out if
City employees could go aboard a boat to find out if boat owners
were pumping their bilge into the bay and report back to the Council.
MOTION: Councilman McConaghay amended his motion to be that the
Council accept the recommendations of the solid waste
disposal committee that no mandatory garbage ordinance
be proposed at this time and that Staff be instructed
to prepare the necessary amendmentsg to the existing
ordinance as recommended by the committee. The motion
was seconded by Councilman Keiser and unanimously carried.

was done right the first time by the property owners.

1. Business License Amendments
Mr. Little reviewed for -the Council the proposed amendments to
the business license ordinance. He outlined the change in Section
6111 entitled "Determination of Average Number of Employees,"
stating that the revision prevented penalizing a family owned and
operated business.
Discussion was held regarding the definition of "garage sale".
It was decided to add a sub -section under Section 6100, "Definitions",
and define "garage sales".
Under Section 6219, "Flea Markets", it was decided to do away
with the exemptions and charge $15.00 a day for conducting a flea
market. The same was decided for Section 6220, "Art, Hobby or
Handicraft Shows and Exhibitions", and the amount to be charge was
set at $10.00 per day.
2. Proposed Harbor Ordinance
Mr. Little stated that Staff had made a study of the proposed
harbor ordinance earlier and had some recommended changes for the
Council's consideration. The first item of discussion was the five
mile speed limit imposed on anyone operating a vessel. Mayor
Mitchell suggested leaving the speed limit open as the wake a boat
makes is not necessarily dependent on speed. After discussion, it
was decided to leave the speed limit as is in order to have a point
of reference when determining if a citation should be issued.
Mr. Little explained that Section 9405.1 (a), "Discharge of
Refuse" under Article 5 - "Harbor Sanitation", was unenforceable
until the 'federal and state governments enact legislation to make
such acts illegal.
MOTION: Councilman McConaghay moved that Section 9405.1(a),"Dis-
charge of Refuse" under Article 5 - "Harbor Sanitation",
be deleted from the ordinance and Section 9405.1(b)
be changed to 9405.1(a) and 0405.1(c) be changed to
9405.1(b) respectively. The motion was seconded by
Councilman Donohoo and unanimously carried.
Further discussion ensued on the clarification of Section 9405.1(a)
and (b). Councilman McConaghay felt that ,the wording left the City
of Morro Bay responsible for the refuse and waste material on beaches
not put 'there by an individual. The wording was changed to make
the meaning clearer.

C-1 Review,Section 11701 of Ordinance No. 59 (Camping ordinance)
Mr. Little stated that Mr. LeSage, an associate of the City
Attorney, James Madden and acting for him had been asked to give
the City Council a legal interpretation of Ordinance No. 59 which
prohibits camping in certain areas. Mr. LeSage informed the City
Council that if the ordinance were to be taken literally, it would
mean that anyone in the City of Morro Bay who maintains or occupies
a tent, tent -camp, tent -trailer, house or travel trailer, pick-up
truck, camper or house -car except in designated areas is guilty of
a misdemeanor. This would mean that anyone having a trailer parked
in their driveway would be breaking this law. He stated that
this law would probably be thrown out of the courts as unconstitu-
tional if ever brought before them.
Councilman Keiser stated that this certainly was not the City
Council's intent, and the perhaps a study'should be made of this
ordinance and it be amended to reflect the City Council's intent.
MOTION: Councilman Keiser moved that Staff reconsider this
ordinance and write it with the'lintention of the City
Council and that it be a sensible and workable ordin-
ance. This motion was seconded by Councilman McConaghay
and unanimously carried.
C-2 Open burning of dry leaves and dry tree prunings
Mr. Little presented the City Council with possible dates for
authorized burning to be supervised by the Fire Department in the
City of Morro Bay. Discussion ensued on this matter and it was
noted that this would place quite a burden on the Fire Department
as they have to check a number of things before allowing individuals
to burn.
MOTION: Councilman Keiser moved that this matter be deferred for
study with the committee studying the garbage ordinance.
The motion was seconded by Councilman McConaghay and
unanimously carried.
C-3 Authorization of request to solicit bids.for chip seal program
Mr. Little explained that this is a budgeted item and Staff
was requesting permission to solicit bids.
MOTION: Mayor Pro Tem Donohoo moved that Staff be authorized to
solicit bids for the chip seal program. The motion was
seconded by Councilman McConaghay and unanimously carried.
C-4 Request of Ogle and Gallo representing Glenn Johnson for
extension of lease term.
Mr. Johnson was present to explain that he had a prospective
purchaser of his business, but, as his lease expires in April of
1972, the gentleman did not wish to put money into the business and
start improvements for that amount of time. For this reason Mr.
Johnson was requesting an extension of fifteen years on lease site
80 and 90W. Mr. James Eddy, the prospective purchaser from West

the contractor that he intended to engage his own contractor to
do the work. Mr. Doug Stuart informed the City Council and Mr.
Hoeschell that all the necessary steps required by law had been
taken to notify the property owners when the contracting was to be
done. Each property owner had been individually notified by

be scheduled between a City Council appointed committee, and their
committee. Councilman Donohoo approved of such a meeting, but
suggested that Mr. Madden, Mr. Little, and Mr. Warden also sit
in on the meeting. Mr-. Johnson asked that if the City as to have
their attorney present, the committee requested that their counsel
also be allowed to be present. Discussion was held with the Council
questioning the committee's request for their attorney to be pre-
sent, explaining that the Council's only reason for the City
Attorney's presence was due to his familiarity with the problems
and thus he could answer questions that might arise. Mr. Johnson
stated that since attorneys differ as to the interpretations of
the law, they would prefer to have their attorney present also.
The Council voiced no further objections.
Councilman Keiser suggested that a member of the Planning
Commission also be directed to attend the meeting.

(3) Mayor Mitchell stated that he had received numerous
complaints as to the motorcycle and trail bike noise
on the large area of property owned by Den -bulk located north
of the high school. It was noted that the Vehicle Code provided
for citations due to excessive noise, but that it was written so
as to require a measurement by decibel meter. Mayor Mitchell stated
that an alternative to use of a decibel meter was to ask Mr. Den-
Dulk to post "no trespassing signs in the area. He noted, however,
that this would prevent poeple;from using the property for any
purpose.
Mr. Warden reported on a conversation he had at the request of
Mayor Mitchell with Mr. Miller, City Administrative Officer of San
Luis Obispo and San Luis Obispo City Attorney,Mr. Johnson. San
Luis Obispo has a noise ordinance which calls for measurement by
a decibel meter, -which they do not have. They stated that they

floor with a product such.as "Coal Tar Enamel," at a
cost of approximately $2,000.

expensive than coating it, but.would provide a more
rugged surface.

Mr. Stuart noted that this particular tank is not included in
the City Master Water Plan, and for this reason, it is not advisable
to replace the tank.
Discussion was held among Council members and staff concerning
the best approach to this situation.
MOTION: Councilman Donohoo moved that staff be authorized to
proceed with the repair of this tank in the manner
felt best. The motion was seconded by Councilman

1. Filling of vacancy on police force
Mayor Mitchell requested that consideration be given to the
filling of the vacancy in the Police Department created by the
resignation of Sergeant Marsden. He reviewed past action taken
by the Council and noted he felt the Council had been in error by
not filling the position immediately since police protection is
vital to the taxpayers.
MOTION: Mayor Mitchell moved that the Council authorize the
filling of this vacancy forthwith. The motion was
seconded by Councilman Walters.
Councilman McConaghay asked if the Council has.received any
communication from the Chief of Police relative to the curtail-
ment of services which the Chief allegedly reported would be
necessary if this position is not filled. Mr. Little informed
the Council members that no official communication has been
received from the Chief. He also stated that Sergeant Marsden's
resignation was not effective until March 31, 1971.
Councilman McConaghay stated he felt this matter has been
"blown out of all proportion." He noted that the Council did not
vote to reduce the size of the police force; but merely deferred
action until budget sessions. He stated the Chief of Police was
remiss by not saying anything at the last Council meeting when the
motion was made to defer action.
The motion was carried by voice vote with Councilmen
Donohoo and McConaghay voting "no."
Discussion was held concerning the advisability of holding an
executive meeting to further discuss this matter with Chief Holeman.
2. Joint meeting with Planning Commission
MOTION: Councilman Walters moved that the meeting be adjourned

the members of the Planning Commission. The motion
was seconded by Councilman Keiser and unanimously

Mayor Mitchell and members of the Council expressed their
appreciation to the Planning Commission for their fine work.
3. City Harbor Plan
Planning Director Rogoway informed Council and Planning
Commission members that representatives of the Corps of Engineers
have presented a minimum harbor development plan to the City. The
plan is simply a "cutback" version of the plan now under consideration
by the Planning Commission. Mr. Rogoway asked if the Planning
Commission should take any action on this plan or defer it until
the studies are completed on the present proposed plan. Council,
Planning Commission, and staff members suggested that this plan
be disregarded until after the present plan has been studied by the
Council.
4. Corps of Engineers Maintenance Dredging Program
Mr. Little reported briefly on the amount of dredging to be
done by the Corps of Engineers in the channel during their maintenance
program this year.
5. Morro Bay CATV system rehabilitation plans
Planning Commission Chairman Donald Brown reported briefly
that he had toured the Electronic Industrial Engineering Plant
in North Hollywood recently. He informed the Council members that
this company, which has entered into a contract with Central
California Communications Corporation for the rehabilitation of
the Morro Bay CATV system, is a reliable concern and is proceeding
with plans for the improvements.
6. Consideration of proposed business license ordinance
Council members reviewed the proposed ordinance. Mr. Little
requested that special attention be given to the Chapter II "Fees
for Business Licenses," since it was necessary for staff to elaborate
on license fees for businesses other than those included in the
flat rate of $15.00 plus $2.00 for each employee recommended by
the committee. He stated that the fees listed in the ordinance
were not necessarily staff's recommendation, but were comparable
to those used by cities in this area.
Council members questioned the advisability of charging a
higher license fee for professional people than for retail sales
businesses. After discussion, it was determined that the flat
rate of $15.00 would be raised to $25.00, no differentiation would
be made between professions and retail sales, and the charge per
employee would be raised to $5.00. Various other additions or
deletions were made to Chapter II of the proposed ordinance and

1. Preliminary budget information
Mr. Little presented theestimated revenue figures for fiscal
1971-72, noting that the figures for 1971-72 will be $58,750 below
the estimated revenue for 1970-71. He informed the Council that
it will be possible to balance the budget with minimum operational
costs; however, if the Council feels the City should increase its
revenue, a tax override of approximately 30� is possible; or the
City could increase its water service charge, or add a sewer service
charge. The method of increasing revenue which would be the least
expensive to taxpayers would be the tax override, since a 30t over-
ride would cost the average homeowner only about $10.00 per year
in additional taxes. He informed the Council that staff will sub-
mit two budgets for their consideration: (1) a minimum operational
budget; and (2) a capital outlay budget. He explained that the
amount needed for •salaries will not be known until after salary
negotiations are completed with the various employee organizations.
Discussion was held concerning the reaction of the citizens
to any tax override, the cost of a capital improvement program,
and other budget information.
Council members indicated they would attempt to balance the
budget without increasing revenue, if at all possible.
2. Group health insurance program
Mr. Little reported that after discussion at a recent staff
meeting, department heads indicated that employees were satisfied
with the present group insurance with Prudential Insurance Company.
Mr. Little stated that a 10% increase in costs is scheduled for
the next year; however, the insurance company has agreed to defer
this increase if the City will transfer life insurance coverage to
Prudential. Mr. Little requested authority to do so.
MOTION: Councilman Donohoo moved that the City continue with
the present health insurance program and transfer life
insurance coverage to Prudential Insurance. The motion
was seconded by Councilman Keiser and unanimously

HEARINGS, APPEARANCES, AND REPORTS
A-1 Appearance of Kenneth Dunham regarding City water pollution
problems
Mr. Dunham requested immediate action by the City against the
"terrible" pollution in Morro Creek and other creeks in.the Morro
Bay area. He stated that the matter has been reported and has not
been abated in accordance with State regulations. Mr. Dunham
displayed samples of material found near Morro Creek.
Mr. Little presented the report of the County Health Department,
signed by James Gates, Director of the Division of Environmental
Health, which indicated that the type of material being used in
the restoration and protection of the creek bank is an acceptable
method and no waste material had been identified as originating
from the cement plant.
Discussion was held relative to the responsibility for any
pollution which exists in the creek and the responsibility of
the City in enforcing pollution control laws.
MOTION: Councilman McConaghay moved that the Council contact
the State Water Quality Control Board and request
an investigation of the reported pollution of Morro
Creek. The motion was --seconded by Councilman Keiser
and unanimously carried.

a contract has been entered into between CATV and Electronic
Industrial Engineering, Inc. for the rehabilitation of the Morro
Bay CATV system, including all of the City as well as the Cayucos
portion of the system. Mr. Brown explained various provisions of
the contract relative to time required to complete construction.
Mayor Mitchell expressed the appreciation of the Council for
Mr. Brown's efforts.
A-3 Public hearing on Highway 41 Scenic Highway Plan
Planning Director Ned Rogoway explained that the City Planning
Commission is recommending adoption of the Scenic Highway Proposal
within the City of Morro Bay and, in addition, that the Council
recommend to the Board of Supervisors adoption of the Scenic Highway
Plan for Highway 41 from its intersection with Highway 101 to
Morro Rock. In order for this plan to be effective, action must
be taken by the City insofar as it pertains to the portion of
Highway 41 within the City limits. Mr. Rogoway explained the
procedures that must be followed in order to designate a highway
as a Scenic Highway. He stated that no special controls are
being exercised over land use in the proposed Scenic Highway Plan;
the plan only indicates that the City, after adoption of the plan,
will look very carefully at any future developments so that there
is no injury to the scenic aspects of this highway. The Planning
Commission has revised the original report to remove all aspects
of any regulatory controls. The plan as amended does not advocate
any changing of zones except in some M-1 zones within the City.
The plan does indicate that some additional work should be done
on the highway such as the creation of lookout vistas. It also
indicates reduced speed designation is desirable for the highway.
It does not advocate any hiking or riding trails along the
corridor. The purpose for the designation of Highway 41 as a
Scenic Highway is to direct tourists into areas of scenic beauty
and it is therefore desirable for Morro Bay. The highway, if it
is designated as Scenic, would also be eligible for special State
funding for roadside services.
Councilman McConaghay questioned the advisability of the
City considering this plan prior to its consideration by the County.
Mayor Mitchell declared the matter open to public hearing
at 8:45 p.m.
Mrs. Vernon Davey spoke in favor of the plan.
Comments were heard from Mrs. Christopher, Dan Stack, and
Steve:-McElvaine in opposition to the proposed plan.
RECESS: 9:20 p.m. RECONVENED: 9:32 p.m.
Lengthy comments were heard from Charles Ogle in opposition
to the proposed Scenic Highway Plan.
MOTION: Councilman McConaghay moved that the Council continue
this matter until such time as the County takes action
on the plan and then reconsider. The motion was seconded
by Mayor Mitchell and unanimously carried.

A-4 Report of Planning Commission on Harbor Hut fish and chips
building restrooms - approval of this building as part of
the development program
Mayor Mitchell presented the report of the Planning Commission
which stated the Commission felt the proposed restrooms should not
face the patio area but should face another direction. The owners
have since submitted revised plans which provide for adequate
screening and the revised plans have been approved by the Planning
Commission.
No action was taken by the Council at this time.
A-5 Report of Planning Commission on request of City Council for
review of zoning change recommendation
Mayor Mitchell presented the report of the Planning Commission
which stated that the applicants have determined to prepare proposed
development plans for the property and discuss these plans with
some of the property owners who have been opposing the development.
The Planning Commission has therefore tabled the matter until their
meeting of April 6, after which meeting a report will be made
to the City Council.
No action was taken by the Council at this time.

C-3 Air pollution control
Mayor Mitchell informed the Council that if the proposed Air
Pollution Control Rules and Regulations which are being considered
by the County are adopted, backyard burning will be prohibited
in all areas of the County. If these rules go into effect, it
will create a problem for many citizens of Morro Bay who do not
have garbage service and rely on burning to dispose of waste
material around their homes; however, the City has been considering
a mandatory garbage ordinance similar to that of the City of San
Luis Obispo which would solve the disposal problem since it would
permit one garbage can service plus a quantity of trash pick-up
each week. Mayor Mitchell stated that if the City plans to take any
action either for or against the adoption of these rules and
regulations by the County Health Department, it will be necessary
to prepare information for the public hearing to be held on April
12.
Discussion was held concerning these proposed rules and
regulations and staff was directed to call a meeting of the Solid
Waste Disposal Committee to discuss further the proposed compulsory
garbage collection ordinance for the City.

Mayor Mitchell stated that the Planning Commission Chairman
has been delegated to submit a list of proposed priorities for
the Capital Improvement Plan, but has been waiting for suggestions
from the Council members. He also noted that before considering
the purchase of the Veterans' Memorial Building, a thorough study
should be made of its possible advantages to the City.
Mayor Mitchell directed staff to determine the commitments for
the use of the Veterans' Memorial Building, as well as maintenance
costs for the upkeep of the building.

Mayor Mitchell suggested that the Council express support of
the plan in concept, but not which access is used.
Councilman McConaghay agreed that the San Luis Obispo access
road should be the determination of the City of San Luis Obispo;
however, the City of Morro Bay should definitely support the
additional highway. He suggested that some indication of the
City's feeling in the matter be submitted to the hearing.
MOTION: Councilman Walters moved that the Council support
the views expressed by Mayor Mitchell and•Councilman
McConaghay. The motion was seconded by Councilman

district and would require property owners to install curb,
gutter, and sidewalk in blocks where more than 50% of the frontage

MOTION: Councilman Donohoo moved that the City Council approve
this addition to Rose's Landing Restaurant. The motion
was seconded by Councilman Walters and unanimously
carried.
C-2 Review of proposed extension of existing structure at Harbor
Hut - Ralph Ruse - Lease Sites 122, 123, 122W, and 123W
Mayor Mitchell explained that this construction must also
receive City Council approval in accordance with the terms of the
lease. Since construction in this instance will extend out over
the water, it will be necessary for the lessee to secure approval
from the Corps of Engineers also.
Mr. Little displayed sketches showing the proposed construction
changes.
Councilman Keiser noted that Mr. Ruse had included in the
plans for development restrooms to be used by the public; however,
the Planning Commission has not granted approval for the restrooms.
Mr. Robert Mills explained that the Planning Commission did
not approve this portion of the plans because it felt the restrooms
should face the parking area rather than the patio area at the
Harbor Hut.
Mr. Little suggested that the Council approve the total
concept with the exception of the restrooms and request the
Planning Commission to advise the Council of its reasons for not
approving the restrooms.
MOTION: Councilman Walters moved that the eighteen -foot extension
over the water be approved by the City Council. The
motion was seconded by Councilman McConaghay and
unanimously carried.

MOTION: Councilman Donohoo moved that the City Council approve
the entire concept with exception of the proposed
restrooms and that these be referred back to the Planning
Commission as to why they were disallowed. The
motion was seconded by Councilman Keiser and unanimously
carried.
C-3 Request of Howard Eytcheson for extension of expiration date
of lease for Lease Sites 97-99 and 97W-99W
Mayor Mitchell explained that this lease will expire on
March 31, 1971. The lease is not eligible for renewal since no
improvements have been constructed on the lease site. Mr.
Eytcheson is requesting an extension of time in order to begin
development of the property.
Mr. Eytcheson was present and informed the Council that no
improvements had been constructed on this property because lending
institutions would not advance funds during the Pipkin litigation.
He stated he plans to invest from $50,000 to $80,000 in improvements
for this site, including a fish and chips restaurant, a sauna bath,
a barber shop, and a boutique.
Mr. Little informed the Council that it will be necessary
for the Council to determine if a new lease is to be negotiated
with Mr. Eytcheson; since the old lease will expire on March 31.
He also noted that Mr. Eytcheson would not be able to secure funds
for the development of the lease site without assurance from the
City that a long term lease would be granted.
Discussion was held concerning the lack of development of
this site, the record of lease rental payments, and the three
people who also have an interest in this lease without the City's
approval.
MOTION: Mayor Mitchell moved that staff be directed to
negotiate a new lease with the provision that a
six-month clause be inserted therein so that the
lease would be terminated if no definite improvements
are assured within that period; and also that the
matter be referred to the Planning Commission for
their recommendation concerning compatible uses
for the lease site. The motion was seconded by
Councilman Donohoo and unanimously carried.

A-3 Appearance of Gary Robertshaw re dockage of boat at City Pier
Mr. Robertshaw explained that he had docked his boat for
repairs at the City pier without prior permission from the City.
He was notified by the Harbor Department that the boat must be
removed because it was a derelict and was endangering other boats
at the pier. He was then informed by the City Administrator that
before the boat could be docked at the pier, he must present proof
of ownership, proof of financial resources sufficient for the
rebuilding of the boat, and the statement from someone knowledgeable
in the field that the boat could be rebuilt into a seaworthy vessel.
Since Mr. Robertshaw failed to comply with these requirements, his
boat was removed from the pier and tied to a mooring in the bay.
Mr. Robertshaw cited other instances where boats were allegedly
allowed to dock at the pier while making major repairs. He felt
that since the City has no written regulations for this matter,
he should be allowed to use the City pier while repairing his boat.
Mr. Little explained that he had imposed these conditions for
dockage of the boat because of the probability of the boat sinking
and endangering other vessels which are often tied three and four
abreast at the City pier. He stated that boats have been built
from hulls while tied at the pier, however, these hulls were sea-
worthy. He informed the Council that Mr. Joseph Giannini has
inspected this boat and feels it is dangerous and cannot be rebuilt
into a seaworthy vessel.
Council members stated they felt that specific regulations
should be adopted to govern the dockage of boats at the pier.
Councilman Donohoo noted that the proposed harbor ordinance should
include provisions for regulating dockage at the pier.
MOTION: Councilman Donohoo moved that this matter be referred
to the Public Works Committee to consult with staff to
determine a solution to this matter. The motion was
seconded by Mayor Mitchell and unanimously carried.
A-4 Report on State Maintenance Yard Property
Mr. Little presented a tentative development plan for this
property, prepared at the direction of the Council, showing how
the parcel could be used for a civic center. He noted that the
State Division of Highways has requested an indication from the
City by January 31 concerning the purchase of the property.
Mayor Mitchell noted that he felt this would be a beautiful
location for a civic center complex; however, the price is excessive.

Regular Meeting
Page Two
BAY CITY COUNCIL
January 12, 1971
Section 4052 of the Elections Code of the State of California, the
City Council must now repeal the ordinance or submit the issue to
the voters. If the Council determines to submit the issue to the
voters, it may do so at the next regular municipal election in
April of 1972 or at a special election. A special election must
be held within sixty to seventy-five days from the date it is
ordered by the Council. He also stated the Council may not repeal
this ordinance and then adopt.an amended ordinance.
There being no objections from the Council members, Mayor
Mitchell requested that Item A-3 "Appearance of representatives of
the committee in opposition to Ordinance No. 87" be heard at this
time.
Mrs. Betty Rivers presented the following suggestions for the
consideration of the Council:
(1) Close beach to vehicle traffic between Morro Rock
and Morro Creek.
(2) Enforce existing speed limit.
(3) Adopt new laws controlling unsafe driving practices
on the beach.
(4) Post all beach entrances and exits to inform people
that the area is patrolled and laws enforced.
Councilman Keiser reiterated the alternatives before the
Council at this time, none of which include the suggestions of
the committee. She noted the need for safety for all people on
the public beaches.
MOTION: Councilman Keiser moved that staff be directed to prepare
a resolution for adoption at the next regular meeting
calling a special election. The motion was seconded by
Councilman Donohoo.
Mr. Little informed the Council that the cost of such an
election would be approximately $1200.
Mayor Mitchell noted his concurrence with the need to call
a special election. He stated that election costs would be
insignificant compared to the possible injury or loss of life
which might occur on the beach between now and the next regular
municipal election. He also stated that ten percent of the
voters should not be allowed to suspend legislation which may
be supported by the majority of voters in the City.
Comments were heard from Joseph Giannini, Harry Cook, Katie
Gauss, Hurlen Merriman, and Mrs. Richard Clarke in opposition to

end area adjacent to Lease Site No. 17. Plans include the improve-
ment of the present pier for public access to the water and to
serve as a Coast Guard Auxiliary Boat Inspection Center. An
additional, larger pier would be constructed as a marine service
center for fueling of small boats.
Councilman Keiser suggested that, since the City General Plan
provides for public fishing piers at each street end on the
Embarcadero, this matter be referred to the Planning Commission

this use.
MOTION: Councilman Keiser moved that this matter be referred
to the Planning Commission for their perusal of the
plan to determine if it would be a proper use for the
area. The motion died for the lack of a second.

Baynham lease is now in escrow, contingent upon the approval of
the City for the use of the water area adjacent to Lease Site
No. 17.
Mr. Little noted that the City does not have adequate fueling
facilities for small boats. He also noted that all matters
involving improvements to the waterfront must be considered by
the Planning Commission.
Mayor Mitchell explained that the Council was not necessarily
opposed to the plan, but felt the Planning Commission should
review the proposal and report to the Council concerning the
desirability of this use.
MOTION: Councilman Keiser moved that this matter be referred
to the Planning Commission. The motion was seconded
by Mayor Mitchell and unanimously carried.

C-1 Verified claim of Mrs. Mary Archambault for flood damage
Mr. Little presented the verified claim of Mrs. Mary V.
Archambault in the amount of $400 for flood damage to her home.
Mr. Doug Stuart, Acting Director of Public Works, displayed
a map showing the property in question and explained the flooding
problem. He stated that the vacant lot adjacent to the Archambault
property on the easterly side is a minimum of twelve inches
higher than the floor lever of the Archambault home. The
Archambaults have previously maintained a drainage channel between
their home and the vacant lot to accommodate the seepage from
the higher level, but failed to do so this year. Mr. Stuart
informed the Council that water collecting on Ironwood Avenue
follows a ditch made by property owners in the area to channel
the water to Hillview Street. This drainage channel was
inspected by City staff several times after the reported damage
to Mrs. Archambault's home, and at no time did the channel over-
flow on any private property. The City staff is therefore
convinced that the flooding damage to the Archambault property
was a result of the seepage from the adjacent private property
and is not the responsibility of the City. Mr. Stuart also
explained various steps being taken by the City to eliminate
the possibility of any future flooding which might be the result
of the run-off from Avalon and Ironwood into the drainage ditch.
After lengthy discussion concerning the City's responsibility
in this matter, and comments from Mrs. Archambault concerning her
feeling that the flooding was caused by the run-off from Avalon
and Ironwood, Council members directed staff to contact the City's
insurance adjuster and determine his feelings concerning
responsibility for the damage.
C-2 Request of Golden Tee for additional tidelands lease
Mr. Little presented the request of the Golden Tee for an
additional lease to provide a parking lot to accommodate a proposed
addition to the motel facilities and to enlarge the present marina.
Mr. Little recommended that if the Council approves this proposal,
a lease be granted only after Corps of Engineers approves the
project.
MOTION: Councilman Donohoo moved that the request of the
Golden Tee for an additional lease be approved in
concept, subject to approval by the Corps of
Engineers. The motion was seconded by Councilman
Walters and unanimously carried.
C-3 Lease of police building
Mr. Little informed the Council that the lease for the police
building will expire June 1, 1971. The owner, Mr. John G. Fox,
has indicated he would be willing to renew the lease at $325 per
month for a term of two or three years. He has indicated a
willingness to sell the building, but has not set a selling price.
