P RESENTATIONS Mayor Shelton stated that Mr. Jeffrey Decker and Mr. Ed Foote had been awarded Resolutions of Commendation for their services on t he Refuse Franchise Board, however they were not present to ✓ eceive the Resolutions. A. PUBLIC HEARINGS, REPORTS AND APPEARANCES A-1 PUBLIC HEARINGS FOR APPEALS FOR 1983 WEED ABATEMENT CHARGES Mr. Nichols noted that this was a duly noticed Public Hearing for t he purpose. of receiving appeals from property owners to the weed abatement charges for 1983. Mr. Nichols reviewed the staff ✓ eport and noted that the Public Works Department had received t hree written appeals. Mr. Nichols noted one change to the ✓ ecommendation regarding these appeals, and explained that in all t hree cases, staff was recommending that the charges be refunded to the property owner. Mayor Shelton opened the Public Hearing. There were no comments or questions from the audience. MOTION: Councilmember Zeuschner moved that the Public Hearing be closed. The motion was seconded by Councilmember Lemons and carried unanimously. (5-0) 1 MORRO BAY CITY COUNCIL REGULAR MEETING - FEBRUARY 14, 1984 PAGE TWO MOTION: Councilmember Zeuschner moved that Council approve the staff report as amended, and authorize staff to make refunds to the three property owners as noted in the amended report. The motion was seconded by Councilmember Lemons and carried unanimously. (5-0) Mayor Shelton then noted that Mr. Jeffrey Decker was present in the audience, and presented him with his Resolution of Commendation and thanks from the Council. A-2 CONSIDERATION OF CUP 11-82 AND TENTATIVE TRACT MAP 1077 AND REVIEW OF RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT AND EIR FOR FISHER PROJECT Mr. Multari reviewed the project proposal and provided a brief summary of the history of the project for Council's information. Mr. Multari noted that the Planning Commission had reviewed the EIR as requested by Council, and was recommending certain conditions in addition to the mitigating measures as noted in the EIR Mr. Multari also addressed the issue of infill and noted that the P lanning Commission had attempted to define and further clarify t he definition of infill development. Mr. Multari added that the subject of infill was not directly related to any action Council might take regarding approval of the Fisher project. Mayor Shelton opened the Public Hearing for comments. Mr. Dick Fisher stated that he had reviewed the mitigating measures and conditions recommended by the Planning Commission and had no problems with them. Councilmember Risley questioned the extent of the archeological work to be performed at the site. Mr. Fisher stated that it was his assumption that whatever work t he archeologist requested would be performed. Councilmember Risley felt that there would be visual impacts on the surrounding homes, and questioned whether this was addressed by the Planning Commission. Mr. Fisher responded that any development, including single family homes, would have an impact on the nearby homes, and that t his impact could not be mitigated beyond what has already been done, in terms of landscaping and site redesign. 2 MORRO BAY CITY COUNCIL REGULAR MEETING - FEBRUARY 14, 1984 PAGE THREE Mr. Multari noted that the Consultant stated in the report that a ✓ edesign of the project would not substantially mitigate the view impact. Mary Phillips questioned the effect this development would have o n Ironwood Ave. Mr. Multari stated that there would be no plans to reduce the w idth of Ironwood, and the developer would have the ✓ esponsibility for improvement of the street to City standards. Louise Baxley felt that as a neighbor of this project, she would w elcome a single family home development rather than the multi- story one proposed. Ms. Baxley objected to the location of the Recreation facility and felt that her view of the Bay should be preserved. Council then discussed the issue of infill development. Mr. Ray Gallo urged Council to consider that if a definition of infill is adopted which will exclude any certain property from development, that this is not a legally defensible action, and w ould virtually constitute condemnation by the City. Mr. Gallo n oted that the VRM property should be considered as infill, as it meets the criteria set by the Planning Commission. Dan Lloyd, Project Manager, noted that Ironwood Ave. would be improved, as would Hwy. 41, as well as the project being fenced from Hwy. 41. Mr. Lloyd also added that in a poll of nearby ✓ esidents, view was not listed as a priority. Mr. Lloyd stated that the project had been designed to have the least amount of impact as possible on surrounding residents. Mr. Multari noted that a recommendation from the Planning Commission was to have the C.C.&R's address the issue of permissible uses for the Recreation facility and hours of o perations, so as to lessen it's impact on the surrounding homes. Mr. Fisher stated that the Recreation facility would be less than 1,000 sq.ft. and that the C.C.&R's do contain time restrictions for use of the facility. Ms. Baxley also requested that the developer not place pine trees in her front yard as proposed, as these trees would also block her view and were extremely messy. MOTION: Councilmember Lemons moved that the Public Hearing be closed. The motion was seconded by Councilmember Anderson and carried unanimously. (5-0) 3 MORRO BAY CITY COUNCIL REGULAR MEETING - FEBRUARY 14, 1984 PAGE FOUR MOTION: Councilmember Lemons moved that the EIR for the Fisher Project be certified as having been used in the decision -making process and found to be complete and adequate for the purposes of the California Environmental Quality Act, and that the project be approved with conditions as adopted by the Planning Commission and mitigation measures as noted in the EIR. The motion was seconded by Councilmember Anderson. Councilmember Risley questioned what affect approval of this project would have on the VRM proposal before Council. Mr. LeSage stated that if the projects are similar, they should be treated the same. Councilmember Risley stated that he would like to offer the following amendment to the motion: That a condition be added to include as part of the archeological survey augering of the site, and that staff be directed to review viewsheds and landscaping measures in the project. Councilmember Lemons stated that he would not accept the amendment as stated, and noted that he felt the language contained in the Resolution regarding the archeological review was sufficient and should not require augering unless indicated by the archeologist. Councilmember Lemons also felt that the issue of viewshed has been addressed by both the Planning Commission and Council many times. MOTION: Councilmember Zeuschner moved that the motion be amended to require that the developer include a designated area in the plan for a future play area and that staff and the developer reconsider alternative landscaping measures to reduce viewshed loss. The motion was seconded by Councilmember Lemons and carried unanimously. (5-0) MOTION: Councilmember Risley moved that a condition be added to require archeological augering if requested or indicated. The motion died for lack of a second. 4 MORRO BAY CITY COUNCIL REGULAR MEETING - FEBRUARY 14, 1984 PAGE FIVE A roll call vote was taken on the amended motion: AYES: Anderson, Lemons, Risley, Zeuschner, Shelton NOES: None ABSENT: None Mr. Fisher thanked the Council for their time, and stated that he w ould continue to work with the area residents to resolve any difficulties with the project. Councilmember Zeuschner felt that the definition of infill as developed by the Planning Commission was satisfactory and should be considered by the Council. MOTION: Councilmember Zeuschner moved that the Council accept t he definition of "infill" as presented by the Planning Commission in their report (III. B-1, 2 and 3) and direct staff to make the necessary .adjustments to the L and Use Plan and Water Allocation Model. The motion was seconded by Mayor Shelton. Councilmember Risley felt that although he basically agreed with t he Planning Commission, he felt that there should be additional discussion and public hearing on the issue prior to a Council policy being established. Councilmember Risley questioned what lots would be affected by this definition. Councilmember Risley felt that several other criteria should be added to the definition, and offered five suggestions: 1) that t he development does not require a zone change; 2) that it has e xisting infrastructure; 3) that it is within existing developed areas; 4) that the total project does not require more than 10% o f the water equivalencies allowed by the State, and 5) that if additional water becomes available, the definition will be ✓ econsidered. Mr. Baxter questioned whether this type of a policy determination would require an LUP amendment or Coastal Commission review. Mr. Multari felt that a clarifying Resolution would be sufficient. Councilmember Zeuschner stated that staff should prepare a Resolution to incorporate Council's direction. Mary Phillips felt that infill should be limited to lots that h ave already been subdivided and where services are available. 5 MORRO BAY CITY COUNCIL REGULAR MEETING - FEBRUARY 14, 1984 PAGE SIX Councilmember Anderson felt that Council should know how this policy would affect property owners in Morro Bay, and requested a survey of the potential effects of this decision on lots. Mr. Multari noted that Council should also determine whether the designation of "infill" will preclude eligibility for water or just establish a priority. Mr. Multari added that it would be good planning to use the infill designation to establish a priority for water eligibility, however he was not sure of the legality of precluding certain property from eligibility for water. Councilmember Anderson requested a listing of property that might be excluded from development under the definition as proposed. Councilmember Lemons felt that zoning should not be used to determine infill and suggested that the Council use the definition as proposed by the Planning Commission. Councilmember L emons noted that the Council should first concentrate on implementing the City's Water Management Plan. Mayor Shelton stated that it was the Council's policy and intent t o implement the Water Management Plan and suggested that Council ask staff to develop a "shopping list" of specific means to accomplish the Plan. Councilmember Zeuschner amended his motion to include the criteria mentioned by Councilmember Risley, and to direct staff t o prepare a Resolution to bring back to Council for a Public Hearing. The motion was carried by a unanimous roll call vote: AYES: Zeuschner, Shelton, Anderson, Lemons, Risley NOES: None ABSENT: None Council recessed briefly at 9:05 p.m. and reconvened at 9:15 p.m. B. UNFINISHED BUSINESS 6 MORRO BAY CITY COUNCIL REGULAR MEETING - FEBRUARY 14, 1984 PAGE SEVEN B-1 CONSIDERATION OF FORMATION OF UNDERGROUND UTILITY DISTRICT Mr. Nichols reviewed the staff report, and informed Council that as directed, staff had investigated the possibility of additional funding for undergrounding of utilities. Mr. Nichols noted that e stimates had been received from PG&E regarding the cost of u ndergrounding utilities along Morro Bay Blvd. and these costs were included in the staff report. Mr. Nichols noted that a five year advance funding will be possible from PG&E, however it did n ot appear that funding would be available from the T-Pier project. Mr. Nichols described the alternative projects for Council and noted that the Embarcadero, from Beach Street to Morro Rock seemed to be the most feasible area, estimated to cost $380,000, with approximately $386,000 to be available. Mr. Nichols recommended that Council provide staff with direction ✓ egarding the establishment of an underground utility district so that boundary maps could be prepared and submitted to the Planning Commission as the next step in this process. Councilmember Risley questioned the feasibility of undergrounding u tilities at the launch ramp with remaining funds. Mr. Nichols stated that there would not be sufficient funds left from the proposed project. Mr. Nichols also noted that these were very preliminary estimates from PG&E and final estimates would not be available until boundary maps had been drawn. MOTION: Councilmember Anderson moved that Council adopt option B (Morro Rock to Beach Street along the Embarcadero) and direct staff to prepare a Resolution establishing this area as an underground utility district, with provisions for environmental determination, in the Resolution. The motion was seconded by Councilmember Lemons and carried unanimously. (5-0) Mr. Nichols reviewed the time frame involved in an underground u tility district and noted that it would be some time before construction would commence, possibly a year. Mayor Shelton felt that Council should have information regarding what effects this district would have on adjacent property o wners, and also noted the property on Beach Street that had been bonded for improvements. MORRO BAY CITY COUNCI;. REGULAR MEETING - FEBRUARY 14, 1984 PAGE EIGHT Mr. LeSage stated that the City should ask for an extension of the bond, or call for the money and proceed with the district and noted that he would like time to review the agreement and bond. Council discussed what action should be taken regarding this property. Mayor Shelton felt that Council should have a report from the City Attorney regarding this matter. Howard Gaines spoke regarding the Dorn property and the fact that the bond will expire in approximately 2 years. Mr. Gaines felt that the bond should be amended or extended. Mr. Baxter stated that staff would investigate the performance bond and agreement. B-2 RESOLUTION REGARDING V.R.M. MORRO BEACH PROJECT Mayor Shelton noted that this item was the conclusion from the Public Hearing held at the last meeting, during which Council directed staff to prepare a Resolution denying the VRM appeal. Mr. Baxter stated that a Resolution incorporating the points made at the hearing had been prepared and recommended that Council adopt the Resolution as submitted. MOTION: Councilmember Risley moved that the Resolution be approved with the addition of a finding that the project is not timely in that it would unbalance the City's priority building policy as developed through the Water Management Plan, the Water Allocation Model and the Land Use Plan. The motion was seconded by Councilmember Zeuschner. Councilmernber Lemons noted that the project would have to stand in line to receive any water equivalencies just as any other development would and it would not unbalance the system. Councilmember Risley felt that the VRM project was asking for special treatment. Councilmember Lemons noted that this was only in regards to the Cabrillo water offer, and that the developers had stated that they wished to be treated the same as other projects, and would compete for water equivalencies in the same manner. 8 MORRO BAY CITY COUNCI. REGULAR MEETING - FEBRUARY 14, 1984 PAGE NINE Councilmember Anderson felt that the Resolution as submitted should not be amended. Council discussed the issue of timeliness and the language contained in the Resolution. Mr. Baxter noted that the Council could revise their intent and clarify any portion of the Resolution. A roll call vote was taken on the motion to approve the Resolution as amended: AYES: Risley, Zeuschner, Anderson, Shelton NOES: Lemons ABSENT: None Mr. Baxter asked if Council wished to request the Water Advisory Board to investigate the Cabrillo water offer. MOTION: Councilmember Zeuschner moved that the Council request the Water Advisory Board to consider the offer made by VRM regarding Cabrillo water, and report back to Council with their findings. The motion was seconded by Councilmember Lemons and carried unanimously. (5-0) B-3 SECOND READING OF ORDINANCE TO AMEND ORDINANCE NO. 22 REGARDING CONSTRUCTION OF STREET IMPROVEMENTS Mr. Baxter stated that this was the second reading of the ordinance to amend the ordinance providing for construction of street improvements by developers. MOTION: Councilmember Risley moved that the Ordinance be read by title and number only. The motion was seconded by Councilmember Anderson and carried unanimously. (5-0) Mr. Baxter read the Ordinance by title and number only. MOTION: Councilmember Zeuschner moved to approve the ordinance for a final reading. The motion was seconded by Councilmember Risley and carried by the following vote: AYES: Zeuschner, Risley, Anderson, Lemons, Shelton NOES: None ABSENT: None 9 MORRO BAY CITY COUNCIL REGULAR MEETING - FEBRUARY 14, 1984 PAGE TEN B-4 REPORT FROM HARBOR COMMISSION REGARDING PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO LAND USE PLAN, AREA NO. 5 Mr. Baxter reviewed the report from the Harbor Commission and recommended that Council hold the report pending additional recommendations from the Planning Commission. MOTION: Councilmember Zeuschner moved that the report be received and held pending further information from the Planning Commission regarding this matter. The motion was seconded by Councilmember Risley and carried unanimously. (5-0) C. NEW BUSINESS C-1 CONSIDERATION OF CORRESPONDENCE FROM WILLIAM MANLEY REGARDING TRAFFIC AND SAFETY PROBLEMS ON QUINTANA ROAD Mr. Nichols stated that correspondence had been received from Mr. William Manley regarding his concern for pedestrian and vehicle safety on Quintana Road. Mr. Nichols reviewed Mr. Manley s concerns, and made recommendations to Council regarding several o f his suggestions. Mr. Nichols noted that a no parking zone on Quintana at Kings and a reduced speed limit from Morro Bay Blvd. to Las Tunas, were two possible means of alleviating some of the problem. Mr. Nichols noted that more extensive improvements would have to be considered during budget deliberations. Mr. Manley spoke regarding his concern for pedestrians who walk along Quintana and for vehicles who encounter the parked cars and pedestrians, and have no room to get out of the way. Mr. Manley felt the street was too narrow to allow parking and also felt that a pedestrian path should be provided from Morro Bay Blvd. to South Bay Blvd. Mrs. Shirley Fisher also spoke regarding the traffic problems on Quintana and felt that a three-way stop sign was needed at the intersection of Quintana and Morro Bay Blvd. Mr. Manley also spoke regarding the hazard of drivers entering o n Morro Bay Blvd. from Hwy 1, and felt that a stop sign would be helpful at this location also. Councilmember Risley agreed that most offramps have stop signs. Council discussed the suggested alternatives with staff, and o ther possible means to alleviate traffic hazards in this area. 10 MORRO BAY CITY COUNCIL REGULAR MEETING - FEBRUARY 14, 1984 P AGE ELEVEN Mrs. Costa, a resident of Marango Drive, agreed that the traffic h azards in this area were bad, and urged Council to take action t o correct the problems. MOTION: Councilmember Zeuschner moved that the Council accept the staff report and recommendation, and that a public hearing be set for February 27th, to consider a no parking zone on Quintana at Kings, and a reduced speed limit from Morro Bay Blvd. to Las Tunas, on Quintana, and that staff be encouraged to consider futher improvements at the Quintana, Morro Bay Blvd. intersection. The motion was seconded by Councilmember. Risley and carried unanimously. (5-0) Councilmember Zeuschner wondered what the impact of a no parking zone would be to those businesses in the area. Councilmember Lemons felt that Council should approve the no - parking zone immediately as it was a known hazard. Mayor Shelton felt that a public hearing should be held to allow those businesses effected the opportunity to respond. C-2 CONSIDERATION OF A STUDY SESSION REGARDING WATER Mr. Baxter stated that Councilmember Risley had requested that Council consider a Study Session to discuss the implementation of the Water Management Plan. Councilmember Lemons felt that before a date is set, an agenda should be established, and any consultants or experts invited to attend. Councilmember Risley felt that the Water Advisory Committee should also be in attendance. Mr. Baxter suggested that Council indicate specific agenda items and list potential meeting dates for Council to hold such a meeting. Council concurred with this suggestion. C-3 EMERGENCY AUTHORIZATION TO REPLACE LEAKY WATER LINE BY CITY FORCES ON MORRO AVE. BETWEEN PACIFIC AND MORRO BAY BLVD. Mr. Nichols informed Council that during routine water line repair work, a section of water line on Morro Ave. between 11 MORRO BAY CITY COUNCIL REGULAR MEETING - FEBRUARY 14, 1984 P AGE TWELVE P acific and Morro Bay Blvd. was found to be in imminent danger of ✓ upture and could not be repaired by usual methods. Mr. Nichols ✓ equested that Council declare this to be an emergency due to the potential rupture and contamination of water supply, and authorize staff to begin immediate replacement of the line. Mr. LeSage noted that Government Code Section 20163 refers to a disaster' or "great public calamity' and Council would need to find that this is a disaster or other such emergency and authorize the replacement by a 4/5th vote. Mr. LeSage noted that h e was not sure this would be considered a "disaster" by the courts, even though there was a health and safety factor involved. Councilmember Risley felt that the Council should authorize the ✓ eplacement. Mayor Shelton suggested that the County Health Office be contacted for his opinion. Councilmember Lemons felt that the urgency of the matter fell within the meaning of the Government Code. Councilmember Zeuschner suggested that the Resolution be amended to include language to indicate that their is an iminent threat to the health and safety of the citizens of Morro Bay, and that an emergency exists due to the potential for pipe rupture and contamination of the drinking water supply. MOTION: Councilmember Zeuschner moved that the Resolution be adopted as amended above. 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 D.

INDIVIDUAL DETERMINATION AND/OR ACTION E-1 CITY COUNCIL Councilmember Zeuschner reminded staff to review the 1984 weed abatement contract for possible inclusion of a clause to require discing of the cut weeds. Councilmember Zeuschner also asked staff to investigate the possibility of acquiring the old Hayward Lumber building, if it could be moved. Councilmember Zeuchner also noted that he had been made aware that Merrill Williams had offered to underwrite the cost of an C advisory vote regarding his property and proposal for a shopping center. Councilmember Zeuschner felt that staff or Council should make contact with Mr. Williams. Mayor Shelton stated that he would talk to Mr. Williams unless another member of Council wished to do so. Councilmember Lemons also volunteered to make contact with Mr. Williams. Councilmember Anderson questioned the status of the Graham's Landing leasesite, and noted that he had heard rumors that it had been sold. Mr. Baxter stated that Mr. Hutchison had informed the City that there may be a sale in the works. Councilmember Risley noted that he had been working with a citizens committee to study the sewer rate structure, and will submit any information gained to Council. Mayor Shelton questioned the composition of the Committee, and n oted that such Committees should be approved of by the Council as a whole, so that any staff time would be authorized. Mayor. Shelton noted that Council should try to avoid excessive use of staff time and also noted that if each Councilmember were to o rganize his own individual committee, this type of thing might get out of hand. Councilmember Risley agreed with the Mayor's ✓ emarks and indicated his committee would have no impact on staff. Councilmember Anderson reported on the North Coast Transit meeting and the upcoming discussion of funding for the next year. Councilmember Anderson felt that he should meet with the Ad -Hoc 14 MORRO BAY CITY COUNCIL REGULAR MEETING - FEBRUARY 14, 1984 PAGE FIFTEEN Transportation Committee to review what possible cuts might be made if necessary.
