Subject: National Nutrition Month 1989
Dear Mayor Borgeson:
It is no secret to you as mayor that many of your citizens today lead
hectic lives. With two-career couples, teenagers with school and athletic
activities, and active senior citizens, nutrition and healthful eating is
more important than ever. Yet, everyone has his or her own .personal food
likes, dislikes, and health-related needs.
In observance of National Nutrition Month - March 1989 - Registered
Dietitians of the Coastal Tri-Counties Dietetic Association will be cele-
brating the national theme, "A Lifetime Decision: Choose Good Nutrition. '
Our focus is that -at any age, healthy nutrition choices are vital to our
future well being. We have planned various nutrition activities for the
month of March throughout the many cities that make up our district.
You have the opportunity to support our efforts in guiding your citizens
towards better nutrition choices by officially proclaiming March 1989 as the
16th annual National Nutrition Month. A sample proclamation by our national
office is enclosed for your convenience.
Thank you for helping us to make your citizens more aware, that choosing
good nutrition is the best investment we can all make towards improving our
chances of being healthy for the rest of our lives!
Sincerely,
Kathleen A. Paul, R.D.
Chairperson, National Nutrition Month

B. HEARINGS/APPEARANCES:

the fee this year is $77, 143.07 which is a percentage
of Falcon Cable ' s gross receipts for 1988 and
represents a 45% increase over last year ' s payment .
2. LAKE PAVILION DISCUSSION: RESTORATION VS. REPLACEMENT
Staff report was given by Ray Windsor, City Manager. He •
introduced Rod Levin who explained the difference between the
alternates for the Pavilion. The first one was to just restore
the existing facility as it is, and the other two were to restore
2
with some addition, to enlarge the facility, the third was to
actually remove the building and start from scratch, but with a
facility about the same size.
Council discussion followed Mr . Levin ' s presentation.
At this time Mayor Horgeson opened the discussion for public
comments.
Terry Graham, stated he believes that if we launch a project to
restore the pavilion we can get a lot of people to help with this
project . He hopes Council will take into consideration that
increasing any kind of municipal debt isn ' t within the interest
of either ourselves, the state or nation. Let ' s get out and
volunteer and keep the debt down and do our best to preserve the
pavilion and make it a real service to the community. Use it for
public recreation and city use.
Doug Lewis asked about the life of a facility such as the
pavilion. Mr . Levin responded that the present pavilion is
approximately 50+ years old . If the building was brought into
conformance with code, you are looking at another 50-70 years as
long as it is maintained well .
Anne Marie Kirkpatrick said normally she despises when
government tears something down and puts something else in its
place. But in the case of the pavilion there isn ' t that much
there to cry over. If they can keep the floor and use it in the
future it would be wonderful . When you are saying $50,000 it
doesn' t sound like a lot of money in 'the ratio of the entire
project, but $50,000 could go a long way toward the esthetics of
the building. She does not believe the estimates for the kitchen
is large enough to really provide for a kitchen that will be
adequate for the size dinners that might be prepared in this
facility. She believes we should go to the new building .
Mike Arrambide said a lot of time has been put in pavilion
project for the past 5 years. The Rotary Club took the pavilion
on as a project and found that it was bigger than what they
could handle, so a corporation was formed "Atascadero
Improvement Corporation" . That corporation was formed solely
for the purpose of facilitating the renovation of the existing
facility. Quite a lot of volunteer effort was involved at that
time. But they really had a hard time generating a ground swell
of support for that building, it seemed not to have a
tremendous historical value. The reason is that there is a lot
of new people in. this community who never really saw the
pavilion in its heyday. The community had hoped the pavilion
• would be restored to something that would be of use to the
community. $30,000 was raised over 5 years, but over $20,000 was
spent in terms of hiring a consultant . A number of clubs gave
substantially towards this project. The Rotary has $3,500
3
earmarked for this project . Can ' t say that it would be
better to restore the existing building -- all he can say is
from a community perspective we desperately need a pavilion.
He would be happy to share his. knowledge of the pavilion with
anyone who is interested .
Barbara Reiter asked the council if it would be more
advantageous to the city as a whole to use the money that is
earmarked for renovation or a new structure of over $500,000 or
put that money into a community center somewhere else. If we
were to build something today would it be built there, or would
we build a community center in the downtown area which would
bring people to the downtown center where we need pedestrian
activity. We need to think of the lake in long range rehab for
the lake itself. Right now the lake is a mess, but if you could
visualize a nice clean bank of the lake around theentire
perimeter with nice walkway, a par course for recreation along
the way, plants could be planted in the spring and the banks
could be in bloom. Right now the building obstructs the view of
the lake. We need to consider a community center elsewhere and
not at the lake. The idea of a building with a deck out over the
water is intriguing . It would be great for a fine restaurant .
Terry Graham asked what are we designating that pavilion for?
Are we going to setup a bar and restaurant there?
What are the needs of the City? The pavilion is a great
location for public use and we should keep it in the public not
promoting restaurant business. Keep it a recreational facility,
supported by the City, for the City ' s use specifically.
Maggie Rice, Chamber of Commerce, stated the community needs
something for everyone and not just for children, but for all
ages, senior citizens, the Camp Fire Rally, Republican Central
Committee, etc. As far as a restaurant being there, that would
not serve the purpose it was intended and would not serve the
entire community. She has great sensitivity about saving old
buildings, but not just for sentimental reasons. She thinks we
need a new building that will serve the needs of the community.
Ruth Phillips who has lived at the lake for 20 years stated that
it would be terrible if the pavilion was not at the park . Don ' t
take that away from the people of Atascadero . If you want to put
a new building up that is fine, but no restaurant.
Eric Michielssen said he has gone through several remodeling
projects in the last year . He ran into difficulties in regards
to getting contractors to bid on them because . they cannot see
what is going to be there, therefore they need a high contingency •
base. It is very difficult to estimate. If you want to do the
job right, you might have to demo it and start again.
At this time Mayor . Borgeson closed the discussion to the public
4
•
and brought it back to the City Council for further discussion.
Mayor Borgeson said she is looking for what the community wants,
and a consensus of the council that we are going to move ahead.
If that takes going into a new building, that she will support
'that . Council will be giving the City Manager the suggestion to
save the floor of the old pavilion.
City Manager , Ray Windsor , said in light of the fact of this
being a historic moment in the community, staff will need to put
together RFP to hire someone to begin work. on conceptual drawings
provided by Mr . Levin. That facility may or may not end up in
the same form that Mr . Levin has suggested . Mr . Levin may not be
the architect selected by the city, because by law we must go out
to seek proposals. A formal motion and vote. by the council is
needed so that the record is very clear as to council ' s
direction.
MOTION: By Councilwoman Mackey, seconded by Councilman Dexter
to have staff prepare and send out requests for
proposal for architectural services on the pavilion
building. Passed unanimously by Roll Call Vote.
• At 8:30 Mayor Borgeson asked for a 10 minute recess. Meeting
reconvened at 8:40 p.m.
3. GRANT REQUEST BY A.F.A.R FOR SPAY/NEUTER PROGRAM
City Manager Ray Windsor stated that the tape from the meeting
where the remainder of the budget money was released for this
year , and the circumstances under which the council_ acted, and at
that time Daphne Fahsing acknowledged that it might go over and
that would be all the money that they would ask for and if
necessary they would try to make up the difference from some fund
raising activities. At this time he introduced Daphne Fahsing ,
representative from A.F.A.R.
Mrs. Fahsing discussed the letter she had sent to Council
requesting the additional $5,000 due to the tremendous
response they have had to their program.
Council discussion followed.
Mayor Borgeson asked Mrs. Fahsing if she would be in accord with
advancing $5,000 on next year ' s allocation.
Mrs. Fahsing that she couldn ' t promise that next year ' s request
• wouldn ' t be that much higher though. She doesn' t want to promise
that they would come back next year with that much less on their
request . It will depend a great extent on how the requests for
their service come in from now on.
5
•
Steve LaSalle and Ursula Luna spoke in favor of granting the
additional $5,000 for this worthwhile service.
Further council discussion followed with Councilman Lilley
expressing concern over establishing a precedent for a mid-year
appropriation for even so worthy a cause.
MOTION: By Councilwoman Mackey, seconded by Councilman Shiers
to grant the $5,000 to A.F.A.R. as a one time
supplement . Passed unanimously by roll call vote.
4. FY 87-88 Financial Audit and Related Findings (Brad Hair )
City Manager , Ray Windsor , introduced Brad Hair of Glenn,
Burdette, Phillips & Booker , Certified Public
Accountants. He discussed the report that was included
in the agenda packet with the City Council . He
introduced Mike Butcher who discussed the Sanitation
District report ..
Councilmen Lilley and Shiers who served on the Finance Sub-
Committee gave their summation of the financial audit
and related findings. •
Council discussion followed.
MOTION: Made by Councilman Lilley, seconded by Councilman to
accept the annual financial report and the report of
financial statements for the Sanitation District for
year ending June 30, 1988. Passed
unanimously by roll call vote.
Mr . Hair at this time discussed the $3,000 additional fee to
offset their $13,500 cost overage.
Council discussion followed.
City Manager Windsor stated that staff recommends that
this $3,000 be paid, but asks that he be directed to
write to Mr . Hair on behalf of the City, indicating
very strongly that in the future the City will adhere
strictly to the letter of the contract so that no
additional costs or work can be performed unless or
until the Council has been notified as such .
Councilman 'Lilley who served on the Financial Sub-committee
stated that he and Councilman Shiers had discussed this at
some length and there was a consensus as to what needs to be
made clear . We are dealing with based on the audit report •
that we have received , what appears to be a extremely
professional accounting firm. We note that we entered into
a contract which they signed and which states " if an
6
• i
i
unanticipated situation should arise which will require
additional work , the auditor shall be entitled to apply to
the city for supplemental compensation at the hourly rate
specified , such supplemental work will be paid for only upon
mutual agreement of the contracting parties in writing prior
to the performance of such work . " It is our concern that
you adhere to the contract and if you do, we will . One of
the concerns was the indications that for one reason or
another somebody relied. an somebody ' s representations and
was led to believe that they could proceed to incur
additional- work with the endorsement and the approval of the
city. As a result of that , there is a question of who
should be blamed for leading someone astray. The purpose of
that provision is to make sure that we don ' t have those
kinds of accusations or problems. The only people who can
tell us whether extra work is going to be necessary for you
to complete your job is yourselves. If you do not do that,
we can not guess. We are in agreement that we write the
firm a very clear letter making it very clear to these
gentlemen that for the balance of our contractual
relationship we expect that provision as well as others in
the contract to be strictly adhered to because that ' s
• professional . It is appreciated that the accounting firm
did jump in and do a great deal of work . We will not depart
from this contract and you cannot ask us for whatever reason
to violate the contract .
Councilman Shiers stated he concurs that the firm did do a
good job and in fact earned the additional $3,000 and we are
concerned with the future working relationship that we will
have with the firm over the next two years of the contract .
He believes that we will be better off spending the
additional $3,000 now and that we will get it back in the
future, but as Councilman Lilley pointed out we have a
contract here and it does state exactly what he said. It
does require the mutual agreement of the contracting parties
in writing . There was some sort of communication breakdown
because this was never brought to Council ' s attention when
it should have been. Neither he nor Mr. Lilley were aware
of the size of the over run until the memo of January 20th
when the audit was about done.
Further Council discussion followed.
MOTION: By Councilman Dexter, seconded by Councilwoman Mackey
to approve the finance sub-committee's recommendation
to the Council that the $3,000 in cost over run be paid
i and a letter be sent from the City Manager as directed
by the. Council .
Mayor Borgeson offered an amendment to the motion that
the $3,000 should come out of the Finance Department ' s
7
•
budget , and not out of the general fund .
The motion with the amendment passed by 4: 1 roll call
vote with Councilman Lilley voting no .
5. REPORT ON HOTEL PARK PRECISE PLAN CONDITION (#17 RE: ROAD
ABANDONMENT)
Henry Engen, Community Development Director , gave the staff
report .
Steve Sylvester spoke on behalf of the applicant . He stated
they are trying to come to a satisfactory remedy and concur
with the staff recommendations as they have been presented
and would like to poi.nt that in accordance with the approved
precise plan the detail improvement plans have been prepared
for the realignment of Capistrano, the request for the road
abandonment and accompanying legal description has been
submitted and in early December the offer of dedication was
submitted to staff for - review. With the completion of
obtaining the encroachment and grading permits they are
ready to proceed with the rest of the project .
Doug Lewis asked with the changing in the alignment of that •
part of Capistrano what is the designation of the street
towards El Camino since it will no longer be a continuity?
Henry Engen, Community Development Director and Paul
Sensibaugh , Public Works Director responded.
At this point Mayor Borgeson closed the discussion to the
public and returned to council for discussion.
MOTION: Made by Councilman Lilley, seconded by Councilman
Dexter to approve the interpretation set forth in the
staff recommendations with regards to the road
abandonment and the offers of dedication. Motion
passed 3:2 with Councilwoman Mackey and Mayor Borgeson
voting no.
At this time Councilman Shiers asked if he could
rescind his vote on this item.
City Attorney Jeff Jorgensen stated that a
Councilmember may request reconsideration of a vote as
long as it is prior to consideration of the next item
however , he would advise Council that it has been his
opinion that it is necessary for the Council to give a
reasonable interpretation of the City ' s intent to this
condition since there was a mutual mistake and an
impossible condition imposed and if this is not the
intent of the City as to what the condition meant then
8
•
•
the Council needs to come forward with an explanation
as to what the intent of the City was.
Councilman Shiers rescinded his request at this time.

PARK - JUNE 17, 1989
Attached is a memo from Gil Dovalina, Recreation Supervisor- , and
letter of request from Scoval Tree Service to have a Tree
Trimmers Jamboree at Atascadero Lake Park .
All Jamboree participants will be qualified tree climbers . The
.. intent of the event is to educate people as to the care of trees
as well as the safety necessary for tree trimmbers .
Venders will be at the event displaying related tree trimming
• paraphernalia.
No spikes will be utilized by participants in any event .
BACKGROUND:
The Parks and Recreation Commission moved to advise the City
Council to accept this proposal at Atascadero Lake Park
contingent on staff 's review of the activities in the event..
Staff met with Mr . Scoval , organizer of the Tree Trimmers
Jamboree and certified Arborist , and reviewed each event proposed
and possible damage to the trees that could occur .
The events proposed will be:
* Competition Work Climb - The participants climb a tree
to a designated height and tie a yellow ribbon on it .
Air Rescue - Participants climb the tree and rescue a
victim on a limb .
Throw Lines - Participants will throw lines through
branches and secure them.
• * Body Thrust - Participants use lines to pull themselves
up a rope. .
* Foot Lock - Participants utilize a rope to climb a tree.
•
In order to insure safety of the participants, the Arborists will
inspect all trees to be used and trim any branches to insure the
health of the trees. Trees that would be utilized will be
trimmed prior to the event by certified Arborists.
OPTIONS:
Option Number 1 :
Allow the Tree Trimmers Jamboree event to be held .at Atascadero
Lake Park .

purpose could possibly cause some harm.

None

MEMORANDUM
DATE: January 11, 1989
TO: Parks and Recreation Commission
FROM: Gil Dovalina, Recreation Supervisor
SUBJECT: Tree Trimmers Jamboree - Atascadero Lake. Park
INTRODUCTION
Inclosed is a request from Scovell Tree Surgery to re-
introduce an activity that once took place at Atascadero Lake
Park. A "Tree Trimmers Jamboree. " This activity brings
Professional tree people together to share a variety of
skills in working with trees, plus provides competition,
putting those skills into action against other tree
professionals .
The proposed activity would be held on Saturday, June 17,
1989 . The organizers of the event expect from 250 to 300
people to attend and also expect to have vendors displaying
various types of tree working equipment, plus providing
demonstrations.
This jamboree would only allow qualified tree climbers to
Participate in the competition. The sponsors of the event,
the Western Chapter of the International Society of
Arboriculture have enclosed a Certificate of Insurance,
naming the City of Atascadero as additional insured for
$1, 000, 000 .00 with respect to this one-day special event .
BACKGROUND
Ordinance No. 105, Title 10 of the Atascadero Municipal Code
relating to Parks and Recreation states:
10-1 . 26 Commercial Activity
It is unlawful for any person or persons to engage in any
commercial activity within the park, except as authorized by
the City Council . Non-profit agencies may be allowed to
• conduct fund raising events upon approval by Public Works.
Exemptions for business licenses may be granted to non-profit
agencies .
On June 14, 1988 Council adopted Resolution No. 38-88
revising and establishing fees for usage of recreation
facilities and written procedure for facility rental . For
major events it was determined that Commercial Activities,
•
defined as any person and or group charging a fee to
participate would be charged $100 . 00 for. use of the park and
would pay a $20Q. 00 refundable security and maintenance
deposit.
RECOMMENDATION
If the demonstrations involve actual trimming of trees,
Staff should work with Planning on any possible .
considerations, but the Tree Ordinance does allows trimming
of 30% of canopy without a permit . Liability insurance would
be a must . If there are any cost to City, Council would have
to approve those expenses.
Concern should be given to the impact on the trees with
repeated climbing. The Commission may want to consider
recommending financial guarantees for the protection of the
park trees.
The Northern California Jamboree is held in the Golden Gate
Park and is hosted by the San Francisco Parks & Recreation •
Department. Mr. Frank Taylor, Superintendent of the Parks
and Recreation Department, and his park crew provide their
time, equipment and experience preparing for this event.
FISCAL IMPACT
None . Park Use fee and security deposit would be required to
assure that the condition of the park is maintained.

INSURANCE WAIVER
Attached is a letter from AFAR requesting use of the Sunken
Gardens for an eight week dog obedience course, beginning in
April , 1989. This course would provide a funding mechanism for
AFAR.
Daphny Fahsing , President , is requesting that the requirement to
additionally insure the City for $1 million dollars liability
for this event be waived as the costs would prohibit holding this
type of event . The - cost for the additional insurance is
approximately $150 to cover the City of Atascadero .
By waiving the additional insured requirement , City Council will
need to consider the precedent setting of this type of action.
There are some risk exposures dealing with this requirement in
regards to possible animal bites, accidents, in- which case the
City would be at risk . This would also provide the opporti_inity.
for other organizations utilizing City facilities to make similar
requrests.
OPTION ANALYSIS:
Option Number 1 :
Waive the insurance requirements for AFAR.
Advantage: This would allow AFAR to conduct an event and
receive the maximum financial benefit by waiver of the insurance
fees.
Disadvantage: The possibility of liability exposure by the City.
Also this would be precedenting by waiving fees for groups
• utilizing City facilities for fund raising .
•
Option Number 2:
Not to waive insurance requirements for AFAR.
Advantage: Reduce risk exposure to the City. Would not set
precedent by waiving required insurance coverage.
Disadvantage: Inability of AFAR to conduct a fund raising event
of this nature.
Option Number 3:
Pay for all or a portion of the insurance for AFAR:
Advantage: This would allow AFAR to provide the fund raising
event .
Disadvantage: Appropriation an additional $150 to the General
Fund for this non-profit organization would be president setting
in regards to covering insurance for organizations utilizing City
facilities.
FINANCIAL CONSIDERATION:
Possibility of additional $150.00 draw from the General Fund to
cover insurance.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends the City Council to:
1 . Deny the request for the additional insured waiver by AFAR.

Dear Mr. Takata :
As mentioned in our telephone conversation the other day
AFAR is interested in holding a benefit Dog Obedience Course
at the Sunken Gardens. Tentatively, this would be Wednesday
mornings for eight weeks beginning April 5th oc 12th.
We are requesting a waiver of the requirement that the
City be added to our insurance, as the additional cost would
be prohibitive. All participants would be required to sign a
waiver of liability.
Will appreciate your advice. Thank you.

To : Honorable Mayor and City Council
Through : Ray Windsor, City Manager
From: Paul M. Sensibaugh, Director of Public Works/City Engineer
Subject : Trip Generation-Montessori School
Date : March 11, 1989
Recommendation:
No Change .
Background:
At the Agenda Discussion Meeting, this date, it was pointed out
that there was a wide margin between the 60 ADT staff response at
the Planning Commission Meeting and the 200 to 300 ADT mentioned in
the appeal . Further information was requested from the City
Engineer for tonight ' s Council Meeting .
Trip Generation:
The application shows 108 students and 7 teachers .
The trip generation for the new school , based on information
from the ITE ( institute of Traffic Engineers) Trip Generation
report, is 13 . 1 daily trips for employees and 0 . 3 daily 'trips per
student . This equates to 200 ADT. The data table further
stipulates an hourly figure of 3 .4 trips for employees and 0 . 3 trips
for students . This equates to 56 . 2 VPH (vehicles per hour) . it
appears from this information that there could have been a confusion
between the terms used to express traffic flow. The appealant
clearly is talking about daily traffic, and it appears that the
respondent at the Planning Commission meeting could have been
relating to hourly traffic.
Level-of-Service (based on Average Daily Traffic) :
Based upon the traffic data submitted for the new bridge across
Graves Creek at this location, the present daily traffic is
approximately 1740 ADT. The 1998 future traffic is expected to be
2500 ADT.
Referring to the Highway Capacity Manual the level of service
for the existing traffic on Monterey Rd. , based on ADT is L.O. S .
''A'' . The level-of-service with the proposed school added to the
existing ADT will still be L.O.S . "A" . The future level-of-service
will be about L.O.S. "B" .
r �
l-cf-Service (based or, Vehicles P?r Hour) :
The normal Design Hourly Volume D V) for this type of st1- t
would be about 12% of the ADT. in the case of a school the figures
above calculate to be aDou4-- 289o, which is understandalaly h:Lgh.
Therefore , the level-of-service for peak sour is not as comfortable
as that Shown above for ADT. The existing level—of—service du.—ing
the rush to .and. from school is estimated to vary from L.D.S . C" to
"E" . This is mainly due to the congestion at the driveways to the
existing school and the confusion of children running about , and not
necessarily due to the DHV. The introduction of a crossing guard
also destroys any attempt at a theoretical calculation regarding the
level-of-service during the peak hour. Previous to changes by the
Traffic Committee and the Monterey School Administration, the level-
of-service at that site was L.J.S. "D' bordering on L.O.S. "E" .
It appears , therefore, that additional congestion can be
expected in this vicinity if the start and close times of the new
school are not staggered with the existing Monterey School times .
The Planning Division additionally had some comments concerning the
ingress and egress of the drive circulation pattern when
conditioning the project so that the flow would be occomodated in a
more orderly fashion. 71hese suggestions will translate to a
smoother operation at the intersection of Monterey Rd. with San
Anselmo Rd. Another requirement for the project is to widen
Monterey Rd. and to provide a sidewalk on their side . The
Conditional Use Permit expires after one year. with possible
extensions .
Any additional information regarding the anticipated affects on
traffic should be refered to a Registered' Engineer who specializes
in Traffic Engineering. At the time of conditioning this was not
considered necessary, but the requirement could be made if Council
is uncomfortable with the findings .

FROM: Henry Engen, Community Development Director J'M�
SUBJECT: APPEAL OF CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT11 88)
APPELLANT: Myron Nalepa, et al
LOCATION: 3025 Monterey Road
REQUEST: To allow for the development of a 4, 185 square foot
Montessori School on a 2 .46 acre site.
BACKGROUND:
On February 7 , 1989, the Atascadero Planning Commission conducted
a public hearing on this subject. On a 5 : 1 vote (Commissioner
Waage agsent) , the Commission approved the use permit request
with modification to condition #5 . Public testimony was given as
reflected in the attached minutes excerpt. On February 17, 1989,
the Planning Commission' s approval was appealed by Myron Nalepa
and other concerned neighbors .
ISSUES:
The appellants have f-ocused primarily on septic suitability and
traffic in their appeal. The applicants conducted five positive
percolation tests on the property and, as with any project beyond
the Urban Services Line, building plan approval will require
approval of detailed plans for an on-site sewage disposal system.
With regard to traffic impacts, the City Engineer has prepared
a detailed report which is attached hereto advising that there
has been a misinterpretation of engineering standards in the
appellants' arguments.
RECOMMENDATION:
Uphold the Planning Commission' s approval of Conditional Use
Permit 15-88 and deny the appeal .

Atascadero, CA 93422
Re : Appeal of the Approval of the Condition4l Use
Permit to Operate a Montessori School in a
Residential Suburban Zone at 3025 Monterey Road .
File No . : CUP15-88 .
On February 7 , 1989 , the Atascadero Planning Commission, on a
vote of 5 to 1 , approved the conditional use for establishment
and operation of a Montessori School . The following appeal is
• filed due to the fact that two of the seven findings for
approval of the conditional use cited within Exhibit "G" of the
staff report are unfounded giuen the present engineering
standards for roadway capacities obtained from the City of
Atascadero Public Works Department . Further representations
presented verbally to the Planning Commission by Planning
Department staff of additional traffic venerated by the
conditional use were grossly underestimated . Also, the
negative impacts of the conditional use were not mitigated
through added conditions of approval that should have been
included in Exhibit "Et" of the staff report .
The attached letter to the Planning Commission with the
engineering criteria for road design utilized by the City of
Atascadero Public Works Department indicates the maximum safe
volume of traffic on Monterey Road to be 1 ,000 average daily
one-way trips for a 24—hour period . The latest traffic count
available to the City of Atascadero Public Works Department
occurred in 1978 and concluded at that time 810 average daily
trips on Monterey Road per 24-hour period. During the past 11
years Monterey Road School has expanded from 500 pupils to 860
Pupils in 1388 . Also residential development has occurred
along Monterey Road and in Long Ualley Ranchos which utilizes
access to Lhe proposed monte.&sor.i School tt►rough craves Creek
Road . It can reasonably be concluded that Monterey Road is
• presently at M.-AXiffiUM e.apac.ity :and to appi•oue a conditional use
Atascadero City Ouncil

which generates traffic. beyond the residential zoning will be •
beyond the safe capacity of the exiting roads and will also be
detrimental to the safety of the general public or persons
residing, working, or attending school in the neighborhood of
this use. It should be noted that in order to expand Monterey
Road, which is currently a 40 foot right-of-way , would involve.
the City allocating funds to obtain a 42 foot right-of-way and
a major reconstruction, which is the minimum standard currently
utilized by the Public works Department to exceed 1 ,000 average
daily trips in a 24-hour period .
During discussions by the Planning Commission prior to approval
of the conditional use, the Planning staff was asked as to the
estimated additional average daily trips which would be
generated by the establishment of the Montessori School . Staff
responded that approximately 60 average daily trips woyld be
generated by this use . Examining this estimate and utilizing
two one-way trips to drop off a student and two one-way trips
to pick up the student at the end of the day indicates four
average daily trips per student . The figures supplied by the
Planning staff to the Planning Commission would result in only
15 students being transported to and from the Montessori School
site . This estimate provided to the Planning Commission is
totally unrealistic as proposed use contemplates 108 students ,
the majority who are in the pre-school and toddler program, and •
also seven staff members . A very conservative estimate of
increased average daily trips would be' between 200 and 300
additional average daily trips -. This increase would indicate
generating a volume of traf=fic at 20% to 30% beyond the safe
capacity of Monterey Road .
It was proposed to the Planning Commission that a possible
solution to the problem of this excess traffic would be the
requirement under conditions of approval for proposed use, that
the school provide buses to transport the students to the
location on Monterey Road . Further it was pointed out that
this method of alleviating traffic was consistent, enforceable,
and verifiable. The applicants indicated at the Planning
Commission meeting that some of the sL-ude.nL•s are involved with
car pooling, however, this does not appear to be a solution as
car pooling is neither enforceable, consistent, or
verifiable . Consequently it is felt that either the applicant
should be required to conduct a Focused environmental impact
report concerning traffic and mitigating measures , or that the
City of Atascadero require an additional condition of approval
in Exhibit "H" of the staff report that sufficient bus
transportation be utilized to insure that the majority of the
students at the Montessori School are transported to the
location thereby mitigating additional Lraffic beyond safe

capacity of the exiting roads _ Certainly if the conditional
use is allowed with the knowledge that the safe capacity of the
roads are exceeded, then the City must assume all liability for
any injuries or fatalities which occurred because of a known
detriment to the safety of the persons residing, working, or
attending school in the neighborhood of the conditional use .
It was also pointed out to the Planning Commission that the
utilization of a septic . tank and leach field disposal system
for waste generated by the 108 students and seven staff members
at the Montessori School might pollute Graves Creek which
borders the site of the proposed use on three sides . Planning
Commission member George Highland pointed out that he. observed
Graves Creek to overflow during wet years in 1969 and that the
site of Lhe proposed use was under water . Given that the
proposed site is designated for single family residence
generating a much lower volume of effluent it is felt that
additional data should have been supplied by the applicant
concerning mitigation of any seepage from the leach fields into
Graves Creek which would result i.n pollution of the creek and
any downstream wells . These consequences would be detrimental
to the health of the general public or persons residing in the
neighborhood . At the time of the Planning Commission meeting
it was represented by the Planning staff that if a septic
• system failure occurred, then a possible solution would be the
site would receive sewer service . However, it is felt that in
all fairness to the applicant as well as the citizens of
Atascadero, these impacts should be solved prior to approving
the conditional use instead of after problems ,arise .
Consequently it is recommended that soil analysis and the
engineering reports be provided to the City confirming that the
septic system and the leach field designed to accommodate 115
persons is realistic considering the location of the system
approximately 100 feet from the creek banks . Information
should have been provided and analyzed by Planning staff prior
to the recommendation for approval of the conditional use .
Problems with seepage of effluent have occurred in the
Atascadero Lake area which required sewer lines being
installed . This seepage occurred in residential use and the
more intense use of a school and its effect upon the creek
should be. investigated and conclusions made through the
presentation of hard data instead of assumptions that a system
can be designed which would not impact the creek .
It was evident during the Planning Commission meeting that the
Montessori School is viewed as an asset to the community and
certainly this point will not be disputed . However , the
.location of this particular- conditional u.e is impacL-ed by an
existing elementary school and the verifiable fact that
•
Atascadera City 0
uncil '

February 17 , 1989
Monterey Road is currently operating at the maximum volume of
traffic tor• the design of the roadway . It is reasonable to
request that mitigating measures be incorporated in the
conditions of approval to insure Lhe safety of the persons
residing, working, and attending school in the neighborhood .
Municipal planning is based upon a pro-acture approach solving
potential problems prior to the construction of projects
instead of wishful thinking that obuious. and potential negative
impacts of a conditional use can be somehow solved at a later
date if enough money is applied to the. problem. It appears
that in the best interest of the neighborhood , ' the City at
large, and the applicant, the negatiue impacts of the
conditional use should be solved at the present to avoid
liabiliL-y on the part of the. City of Atascadero or additional
requirements imposed upon the applicant at a later date .
Hopefully the conclusions of the City Council will beebased
upon logical and reasonable planning practices rather than
rushing into emotional decisions without regard to consequences
on the community .
Thank you.

Re : Consideration of a Conditional Use Permit to
Operate a Montessori School in a Residential
Suburban Zone at 3025 Monterey Road
Meeting Date: February 7, 1989 .
• File Number : CUP15-88 .
The City of Atascadero Planning staff report recommends
approval of the requested conditional use . It is felt that the
findings for approval contained within the staff report were
based upon incomplete information received from either the
applicant or outside departments . Consequently it will be
recommended that the conditional use be denied or the Planning
Department staff begin review of the application for
conditional use with the input of new information and/or
require additional conditions of approval .
Specifically the staff report found :
"The proposed use will not generate a volume of
traffic beyond the safe capacity of all roads
providing access to the project, either
existing or to be improved in conjunction with
the project, or beyond the normal traffic
volumes of the surrounding neighborhood that
would result from the full development in
accordance with the hand use elemont."

City of Atascadero

February 7 , 1989

The City of Atascadero Public Works Department currently
utilizes the County of San Luis Obispo specifications for safe .
capacity for volume of traffic in regard to road design. The
volumes of traffic are expressed. in units of "average daily
traffic" abbreviated as A .D.T. Simply put this is a number of
one-way trips for which the roact is designed over a 24 hour
period . The roads providing access to the proposed project are
Monterey Road and Graves Creek Road . The existing width and
shoulder distances of these roads conform most closely to the
attached specificaL-ions indicating a range of between 250 and
1 ,000 average daily trips as a safe capacity for these
streets . Most recent traffic count available to the Public
Works Department was conducted in 1978 and indicated 810
A.D.T. During the past 11 years Monterey Road School
enrollment has risen significantly and additional residential
development has occurred in Long Valley Ranchos as well as
along Monterey Road . Further, full build out of the area is
not complete . It can be reasonably concluded. that the roads
providing access to the proposed project are either at or above
safe capacity at the present . Consequently , it should have
been concl°sided that the proposed conditional use would generate
a volume of traffic beyond the safe capacity of the existing
roads providing access to the project .
The possible solution to the problem of excess traffic beyond
the safe capacity of existing roads would be to down scale the
proposed use and add a condition of approval that the school
bus the students to the location on Monterey Road thereby
reducing the volume of traffic . Another alternative would be
to conduct a focused environmental impact report concerning
traffic caused by the conditional use and propose mitigating
measures . Required car pooling is not an alternative that is
enforceable or consistant .
Another finding for approval of the conditional use states ,
"The establishiaent and subsequent operation or
conduct of the use will not, because of the
circumstances and conditions applied in this
particular case, be detrimental to the health,
safety or welfare of the general public or
persons residing or working in the neighborhood
of the u-;e, or detritaent.al or injurious to
property or improvements in the vicinity of the
use.
Planning Cnmmissio
City of Atascadero

• February 7 , 1989
As previously noted exceeding safe capacity of the existing
roads will in fact impose a detriment to the safety of the
persons who are residing or working in the neighborhood . The
detrimental effects of increased traffic beyond the capacity of
the roadways not only endangers the operations of vehicular
traffic but also of the children who commute to Monterey Road
School as pedestrians or on bicycles . Further it should be
noted that configuration of the roadway directly in front of
the proposed conditional use site is elevated producing a
"hump" in the roadway which results in the loss of a line of
sight for vehicles traveling northbound on Monterey Road across
Graves Creek Bridge and proceeding past the proposed use site .
Given that the proposed use site has designed a one-way
entrance and exit the location of the exit would be out of the
line of sight of northbound traffic continuing on Monterey
Road . This particular design would not allow this traffic to
reduce speed and avoid traffic collisions with vehicles exiting
the proposed use site especially if exiting vehicles proceed
northbound on Monterey Road . Also the Planning staff report
noted that . the Atascadero Fire Department expressed concern of
the need for clarification of the ane-way access designed into
the proposed use and it appears that this concern should be
investigated .
• Additionally in regard to the proposed use being detrimental to
the health, safety or welfare of the persons residing or
• working in the neighborhood, the impact of the sewage disposal
system upon Graves Creek has not been adequately addressed .
The proposed use site is not sewered and is bordered on three
sides by Graves Creek . The proposed use utilizes a septic tank
and leach field to dispose of waste generated by the
conditional use . Normally a septic system utilized for a
single family residence on this parcel would not impact the
creek as the system would only be accommodating between four
and six persons . However the proposed conditional use

contain any data concerning the porosity of the soil at the
proposed use site to. determine if the leach field effluent will
seep into the creek causing pollution. Certainly the
circumstance has occurred with much smaller systems in the
Atascadero Lake area which eventually led to the installation
of sewers because of these problems _ Further any pollution to
the creek would be, detrimental to the safety of the
neighborhood as children in the neighborhood do spend time
playing in the creek areas . Also any water wells downstream
from the proposed use site location would be contaminated by
the effluent seepage.
Possible solution in regard to the concern to the septic system
would be soil analysis by an engineering firm to determine the
impact upon the creek by this septic system and leach - field
which will have to be designed to accommodate 115 persons .
Soil analysis and the recommendations by a reputable
engineering firm should be completed prior to approval of the
conditional use. Then necessary mitigation could be
incorporated into the design of the construction of the
proposed use to insure integrity of the creek which borders
this property on three sides . These determinations could be
accomplished and mitigation recommended through the focused
environmental impact report prior to the approval of the. •

B. ANALYSIS:-
The
NALYSIS:The applicant currently operate a school at 8600 Atascadero.
They rent their current site and are now attempting to establish
a permanent site for their Montessori School. After examining
several potential sites within the City they have applied to
construct their 4, 185 square foot school adjacent to Graves Creek
and the existing Monterey Road Elementary School. The school
would have a potential population of 108 students and 7 staff
members.
1
• 0
The General Plan designates the site as Suburban Single Family.
The establishment of a school would not be inconsistent with that
designation. The site is outside the Urban Services Area,
however, there is no inconsistency with having schools outside
the Urban Services Area. Monterey Road is designated as an
undivided arterial in the Circulation Element, making the access
more suitable for a school . The City is in the process of
reconstructing the existing Graves Creek Bridge adjoining the
site. The reconstruction will widen the existing bridge and add
a pedestrian walk. The adjoining Creek area is designated for
Creek reserve and is currently under private ownership. The
General Plan Public and Quasi-Public Element addresses only the
need for public schools. The proposed school would be consistent
with the General Plan and its policies.
The Zoning Ordinance allows for the establishment of a school
within the RS (Residential Suburban) Zone subject to the approval
of a Conditional Use Permit and specific development standards
(Sec. 9-3. 143 (c) & Sec. 9-6. 125) . The approval is subject to the
required findings listed in the Zoning Ordinance for CUP' s.
These six findings cover the standard areas of concern and
potential impacts caused by the school.
The Zoning Ordinance development standards require that schools
be located no closer than 1,000 feet to CS, CPK, IP & I zoned
parcels and 500 feet to CR zoned parcels. The site meets these
distance requirements. Parking standards are also set by this
section, requiring 2 stalls per class room and 1 stall per 100
square feet of area designated for administrative work. With 4
class rooms and 800 square feet of administrative area, a total
of 16 stalls is required. The site plan shows 16 stalls and an
area for future parking that may be needed for future expansion
of the area.
Additional standards for the preschool portion of the school
requires a minimum lot of 6,000 square feet, the fencing of play
areas and the setting of parking requirements through the CUP
process . The site is 2.46 acres which exceeds the minimum.
Fencing will be required as a part of the development of any
outdoor play area for preschool use. A designated drop off point
will also be needed in the parking area.
In reviewing the architecture of the school, it must be noted
that the structure will not resemble a typical single family
residence. In the case of a school and this site, there is no
need to make the school blend into the residential area. The
adjoining parcel to the north is vacant and Monterey Road School
adjoins the site to the south. The applicant has engaged an
architect to design the structure. The building is proposed to
use some painted metal elements . The plan does meet the
standards set by the City' s Design Review Manual (color board and
color elevations are available in the Community Development
2
• Department) .
Comments were received from several outside agencies. Our Fire
Department noted some concern with the need for clarification of
the one way access. The Building Division noted no problem with
the proposal after reviewing the pere tests submitted as long as
the existing codes and standards are followed in the development
of the parcels. Public Works noted the need to coordinate the
development of street improvement on Monterey . with the Bridge
work being done. This site was reviewed for archeological
resources with none found.
C. RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of Conditional. Use Permit 15-88
based on the Findings in Exhibit G, and subject to the Conditions
of Approval (Exhibit H) .

Subject: Schematic Design Documents
Response to City Preliminary Review
Dear Steve IS Korey:
Attached are drawings which have been revised to include responses to com-
ments made by the City in their recent preliminary review of the project. I
have numbered my responses to coincide with their numbered review comments
(copy Attached), and include references to phone conversations I have had
• with various agency officials regarding the project:
1. One-Way Drive & South Entrance:
I spoke with Harry Parsi of Atascadero Public Works (14 OCT 88) to dis-
cuss our intentions in using a one-way drive as one of the entries, which
he agreed to consider with our formal submittal (there is evidently no
absolute restriction against such drives if safety and logic are enhanced):
- creates one-way traffic zone for daily pick-up/drop-off activities,
making it simpler and safer for both vehicles and pedestrians to cir-
culate through the parking Lot with young children present.
- places passenger side of vehicles carrying children directly adjacent
to the entry walkway and school building, where children are most Like-
ly to be leaving their vehicle (very important where a number of vehi-
cies are arriving and leaving in a short period of time, often hurred-
Ly).
- leaves the most amount of site area available for Landscaping and play
yards, minimizing the extent of the less-desired asphalt paved surface.
- reduces the amount of cross-traffic and turning near the Monterey/
Graves Creek intersection by excluding vehicle exiting there, there-
by enhancing safety at this confluence of roads, bridge and creekside
foLLiage.
- school users are generally long term/return clients who will quickly
accept the one-way pattern and who will recognize and appreciate its,
greater efficiency and safety.
2. Trash Enclosure:
Added at north end of building, directly accessible from the parking lot
• and including screening for propane gas apparatus.It is 5 feet high, of
solid wood construction matching nearby fencing, and sized per your
conversation with WiLmar Disposal.

3. Exterior Lighting:
A low level lighting scheme is proposed, in consideration of nearby
residential buildings. Hooded wall wash lights are used over exterior
building entrances (fixture type 1-attached) and ground mounted up-
Lighting is used at monument sign and at tree clusters proposed for
driveway entrances (fixture type 2-attached).
4. Monument Sign:
Of painted wood or metal construction, approximately 4 square feet in
area, with no internal lighting- uptight per item 3 above. Color and
graphics will be used to identify the school, to be determined in the
construction documents phase, and will be submitted to the City at that
time for their final review.
5. Bridge Improvements:
The proposed improvement- addition of 10'width to accommodate new pe-
destrian walkway- and its' effect on the project site is shown on the •
site plan. Since the bridge project is not a part of this project no
details are provided. In anticipation of possible future extension of
the walkway no site development is proposed within the first 35 feet of
the project front yard (10 foot path area + 25 foot front yard setback).
6. Creek Access:
I have noted on the site plan that you are currently discussing with
the City the concept of a creekside public pathway along the borders of
the project site, including area requirements, liability, security, com-
pensation, and other issues. No building or site improvements are propo-
sed for the area under discussion, thereby presenting no restrictions to
future development of this area, should it be required.
7. Landscape Data:
All landscape, irrigation and play yard elements are being developed
and documented by you, the owner, for your direct submittal to the City.
8. Septic System:
Per your instructions I have relocated the septic tank and leach fields
to the rear yard, maintaining minimum 100 feet of clearance from the adja-
cent creek banks as described in your topographic survey. Vehicle access
has been provided across the north patio for septic service, emergency
vehicles (fire/ambulance), and general maintenance vehicles. Actual final
septic construction documents will be provided by your civil engineer
and will alter, as required, this conceptual layout. After speaking with
Bill Wittmeyer of Atascadero Building Department M OCT 88) I recommend
that you request a preliminary site inspection to confirm the accepta-
bility of the proposed septic system location and layout. Normally this •
inspection is done only after submittal of documents for building permit.
9. Police Background Check:
To be coordinated directly by you, the owner.

10. Building Height:
Elevations now show a maximum building height at the top of the tower
of approximately 21 feet.
11. Driveways & Parking:
Asphalt paving is proposed, with a sand/gravel-adhered top coat. This
top coat should present a natural, textured appearance, emphasizing the
semi-rural surroundings, reducing heat gain, and providing for medium
intensity vehicle traffic with good performance and minimal mainten-
ance. I spoke with Joel Moses of Atascadero Planning (13 OCT 88) who
felt that, given the above level of traffic, a cement-stabilized all-
weather paving surface would also be acceptable. I would like to discuss
this option with your paving contractor at the appropriate time to de-
termine durability, cost, maintenance, etc. of such a surface.
12. California fish & Game Dept:
I spoke with Glenn Sparks (19 OCT 88) and Allen Huckaby who described
• the department's review responsibilities as being confined to the effects
of erosion, sedimentation and siltation of the creek and its associated
riparian area. Since the site is relatively flat, with all development
held within the open meadow area, and with some distance between the
parking lot and the creek banks, no such detrimental effects are an-
ticipated from the project.
Note/Neither the fish & Game Department nor the City have any requirements
for controlling or containing rainwater run-off from a project of this
type, except as it may contribute to erosion near the creek. As stated
above, no such erosion is anticipated and the proposed parking lot
run-off is therefore being allowed to flow toward the north end of the
meadow as it does currently on the site.
13. Appearance Review:
- site plan
- grading and drainage now indicated.
- screening of service area now indicated.
- underground utilities now indicated.
- lighting and creekway addressed above.
- building design
a color board is enclosed, and color code symbols added to building
elevations for reference. The color scheme is developed to be subtle
yet attractive to children, and to provide for both contrast and
connection to the surrounding meadow, folliage and sky. Soft and
muted colors are proposed, with a final color adjustment to be made
in the field during construction by way of test areas directly on
the building itself.
- a limited but varied palette of materials is proposed- plaster,
wood, concrete and metal- in keeping with Montessori's tradition
and emphasis on simple, natural elements and processes. All can
be found in surrounding residential and rural use structures, and
will be finished to enhance their natural character: concrete paving
and stucco walls with integral mineral color tinting rather than

paint, to retain their natural texture and to offer a slightly
varying surface color; rough-sawn solid wood enclosures and tex-
tured/scored plywood walls, with semi-transparent stained finish
to visually retain and emphasize the character of the wood grain.
I spoke with the Planning Department and understand the City's
concern about the overuse and potential commercial appearance of
most metal panel systems. I would like to make a distinction, how-
ever, between the spate of cheap, brightly colored commercial
metal building products used so frequently.and thoughtlessly, and
what we are proposing for use on your school; an unpainted galvanized
or tern-type metal finish that will weather and color with age,
and that presents an honest and characteristic sense of metal as
a building material. It is not our intention to use a material which
suggests thoughtless expedience, but to select and detail a material
traditionally used in rural architecture, that connects well with
that tradition, and that improves with age. Our use of metal is both .
Limited and concise- shown only for sloped roofs (approximately
10% of total roof area) and the school's entry tower (approximately
5% of total exterior wall area). We feel this material, as we plan
to design and detail it, will make a small but important link (and
therefore contribute to) this older rural tradition.
* Unnumbered Comments:
play area fencing: front yard fence is b foot high solid wood with an ad-
ditional 2 feet of open wood lattice. Side and rear yard fencing is shown
as field fencing per your request (metal stakes and smooth variable mesh
wire fabric common to the residential and rural sites in that area;
set slightly inside the tree line to make some of the creekside woods
accessible to children for play, exploration and nature study.
turning radius of corner at north end of one-way parking lot is increased
to 20 feet to accommodate emergency and fire vehicle circulation.
pedestrian/bike path, edge of bank data, bridge improvements and septic
system data is as previously described in this letter.
Landscaping is to be prepared by you, the owner.
signage is as previously described in this letter.
Please call me upon your review of the attached drawings and comments if you
have any questions or information you wish me to add. It might be helpful
to pass a copy of this letter on to the City to assist them in their eval-
uation. of the design and site plan as currently proposed.

m ting of January 17, 1989
MO ON: Made by Commissioner Brasher, secon d by Commis-
sioner Luna and carried 6 :0 to appro the Consent
Calendar as presented.
B. HEARINGS, APPEARANCES, AND REPORTS
1. CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT 15-88 :
Request initiated by Steve and Korey Dudley to allow
for the establishment of a 4, 185 square foot school
(Children' s House Montessori School) which is proposed
to house a maximum of 108 students with 7 staff
members. Subject site is located at 3025 Monterey
Road.
• At this point, the Planning Commission took a few minutes to
review letters received from individuals who were unable to
attend the meeting.
Steve Decamp presented the staff report on this use permit
request. Staff recommendation is for approval subject to
-2- • •
certain conditions. He then responded to questions from the •
Commission.
There. was discussion concerning the Graves Creek bridge
replacement with regard to the continuity of walkways from
Monterey Road School to the proposed Montessori school, as .
well as the type of paving most appropriate for this area.
Chairperson Lochridge read a letter from Franklin Frank,
Monterey Road resident, in support of the project.
Steve Dudley, applicant, spoke in support of the project.
With regard to condition #5, he asked that it be made clear
that this condition apply to "new" *utilities, not existing
utilities on the site. He then responded to questions from
the Commission pertaining to the landscaping plan, hours of
of operation and traffic impacts that could result from the
proposed school along with Monterey Road School, etc .
Myron Nalepa, 2400 Monterey Road, referenced a letter he has
submitted along with City road engineering specifications
concerning this project. He expressed concern with traffic
impacts that may result and spoke on road improvements
needed. Mr. Nalepa suggested possible school bussing as a
solution to mitigate some of the traffic impacts . He also -
expressed concern with the septic system for the school and
felt that a focused E .I.R. is warranted which would address
traffic impacts and the septic system.
Discussion followed concerning ADT and service levels for
Monterey Road.
Newlin Hastings, area resident, felt that the timing of the
ADTs is more important than the ADTs themselves. He
suggested carpooling, a staggering of drop-off and pick-up
times, etc. He felt that given the right design of a septic
system, those problems can be alleviated, and he urged the
Commission to approve the project.
n
Michael Donovan, area resident, stated his son has attended
the present Montessori school for 4 years and noted the
school has outgrowm its present site. He felt the proposed
location is an ideal setting (many trees, creek setting,
etc. ) and asked that this project be approved.
Discussion ensued pertaining to what measures would be
available if the septic system for the school failed. Mr.
Decamp pointed out that problems are not anticipated if the
system is properly designed and explained that water loads,
etc. are considerably less on a per capita basis for a •
school than single family residences.
Commissioner Highland expressed concern that parts of this
property were under water during the heavy rains of 1969 and
P Y
-3-
• SII
1972 , and felt uneasy about approving this project without a
septic system design. Mr. Decamp explained that the struc-
ture will not be constructed on the site unless a septic
system design can be proven.
Discussion continued relative to the lack of sight distance
in certain areas of Monterey Road; road width problems on
Monterey Road; safety considerations for children walking to
school on this road; whether a stop sign would be
appropriate at Monterey and Graves Creek Roads . There was
discussion on the feasibility of having this project
subjected to an annual review process, etc.
Mr. Dudley spoke on how he would perceive the annual review
for the project and addressed issues regarding the site plan
design which allows for an even flow of traffic to and from
the school and felt that because Monterey Road is an
arterial, a stop sign would not be a good solution.
Fred McGauhey, 2685 Ardilla Road, and principal of Monterey
Road School, stated he is speaking as an individual . He
expressed opposition to any commercialization of property
north of Graves Creek bridge noting the recent subdivisions
• (Dovica, Las Encinas II, etc. ) which will help contribute
to the traffic impacts on Monterey.
In speaking as the principal, Mr. McGaughey responded to
questions from the Commission pertaining to school traffic,
school start-up times, etc.
MOTION: Made by Commissioner Tobey, seconded by Commis-
sioner Brasher to approve Conditional Use Permit
15-88 subject to the findings and conditions con-
tained in the staff report with modification to
condition #5 as follows:
115 . All new utilities shall be undergrounded as a
part of the development of the property. "
The motion carried 5 : 1 with Commissioner Lopez-
Balbontin dissenting as he felt there are too many
unanswered questions concerning this project.
Chairperson Lochridge called a ess at 9: 00 p.m. ; meeting
reconvened at 9 : 10 p. .
• 2. CONDITIONAL USE .: RMIT 16-88 :
Request initi ed by Worthco Inc. (Steven Wing) to
consider rynsion to the previously approved monument
sign cr ria for Adobe Plaza. Subject site is located
at 73 E1 Camino Real.

than just the ADT shown on a particular standard drawing . Staff

topographic rstraint to vertical and horizontal sight distance which
require some moderate cuts and fill.
Mountainous roadways are those sections of roadway which require maximum
or near maximum grades and minimum curve radii in order that the cut and
fill be reduced to a practical and visually acceptable height.

Design computations, as used in this manual, focus on the and compare these values with the existing flow rate on the
determination of the number of lanes required for a given facility. facility. This is done using Eq. 8-1:
Such computations have little significance for two-lane high-

STAFF REPORT
FOR: Planning Commission Meeting Date: February 7, 1989
BY: Doug Davidson, Associate Planner File No: CUP 17-88
SUBJECT:
To consider a request to allow an automobile repair and service
use (self-service car wash) in the CR (Commercial Retail) zone.
CONCLUSIONS:
1. The proposed project is not in conformance with the General
Plan policies of encouraging infill development and thus
avoiding the proliferation of scattered commercial uses
along E1 Camino Real.
2. The proposed project does not heed the recommendations of
the City' s Economic Base Analysis and Downtown
Revitalization Study of reversing .the strip-commercial
nature of the City by encouraging commercial development at
specific nodes along E1 Camino Real.
3. The proposed project is not in compliance with the Zoning
Ordinance development standards for self-service car washes.

B. ANALYSIS:
This application is for the construction of a four bay self-
service car wash in the CR (Commercial Retail) zone. Car washes
are included within the automobile repair and services land use
description, which is listed as a conditional use in the CR zone.
Conditional uses are of a nature or magnitude which could
• significantly affect its surroundings. This analysis will focus
on the appropriateness of a self-service car wash in this
location, as well as compliance of the project with City codes
and ordinances.
Policies - General Plan/ERA Report
Under the City's General Plan and Zoning Ordinance, commercial
retail areas of the City are -designated primarily to meet the
shopping needs of the general public. Other uses, such as
automobile services, are encouraged to locate in the Heavy
Commercial areas, by being defined as allowable uses in the CS,
CPK, IP, and I zones. These distinct commercial zoning districts
attempt to control land use compatibility and overcome the City'
historical strip-commercial pattern. The General Plan addresses
the problem with the following policies (Page 67) :
"Infill and restructuring of existing heavy commercial areas
shall be encouraged to avoid the indiscriminate
proliferation of scattered service commercial uses along El
Camino Real. "
"Service Commercial Planned unit developments shall be
encouraged in designated areas. "
The City of Atascadero Economic Base Analysis and Downtown
Revitalization Study (Economics Research Associates, 1988)
contains the following similar suggestions to reverse the strip-
commercial nature of the City (Page III-2) :
"Encourage the concentration of commercial development
along E1 Camino Real or at specific nodes rather than extend
the E1 Camino Real commercial corridor throughout the City. "
The reason for this recommendation is to:
"Encourage private commercial redevelopment and
rehabilitation over time rather than see new development
occur in an uncoordinated random pattern. "
Service commercial uses are encouraged in certain designated
ureas because the tend to generate noise and require storage area •
for automobilies and equipment. There are four zoning districts
where automobile service is an allowable use. Location within
one of these zones will help achieve the objective of developing
specific nodes of service activity, instead of continuing in a
random placement. Although the ERA report is not an adopted City
document it was commissioned for this very purpose;ur ose• to create
new commercial opportunities for the City, while overcoming its
historical predicament of scattered commercial uses along E1
Camino Real. Staff believes that this project does not carry
out these City goals and perpetuates the scattered pattern of
commercial land use.
Site Characteristics/Surrounding Land Uses
In addition to the policy concerns noted above, the surrounding
uses presents a problem for land use compatibility. In fact, the
existing uses in the vicinity are an example of the scattered
uses mentioned above. Two office buildings (The Hull building
and the Atascadero Mutual Water Co. ) have recently been
constructed in the general area, both of which have improved the
architectural appearance of the block. Closer to the subject
site are two car dealers, a real estate office, a tree surgery
facility, and single family residences. The construction of a
car wash will add yet another type of use to an area in
transition. Staff believes that the area is evolving into its
planned retail and office function, as exemplified by the recent
construction.
• Self-service car washes are not allowed adjacent to residential
single family zones. As the Location Map (Exhibit A) shows,
there is a commercial parcel between the subject site and the
residential zone (LSF-X) to the rear. Nevertheless, the project
will have an impact on this residential area, mostly due to the
noise generated by the vacuums in the drying area. The second
part of the development statement (Exhibit F) and the vacuum
noise tests (Exhibit G) show that the noise generated will not
exceed the level allowed in residential zones. However, the
submitted 83 and 90 dba readings of the Lamb model do exceed the
maximum dba of 75 allowed in the CR zone (Exhibit H) .
The project designers have met most of the special development
standards for self—service car washes (see Exhibit E) . These
include criteria for location, access/circulation, setbacks,
landscaping, and fencing. The one deficiency in the site plan
is the requirement for a driving lane, 24 feet in width along the
washing bays. The submitted site. plan (Exhibit B) shows a lane
width of 21 feet, 4 inches, and less than that where the planter
extends. This indicates that the site is not of adequate size
and shape to accomodate the use as proposed.
Summary
In order to approve a Conditional Use Permit, the Planning
• Commission must make the mandatory six findings of the Zoning
Ordinance. Staff has enough concerns over the project to make
all of the findings in the negative, however, our recommendation
is mainly due to the cited commercial policies in the General
Plan and the ERA report. Both of these documents call for
development of service commercial uses in designated areas. The •
designated areas for heavy commercial are the CS, CPK, IP, and I
zones. Staff could support this project in one of these
locations, or possibly in another CR location.
The project has been designed with much thought; the staggering
of the bays to provide better circulation, as well as the split
face concrete construction to gain a pleasing architectural
style. Thus, the objections are not with the project itself, but
with the proposed location. Most importantly, the ERA report has
backed up one of the original and most fundamental General Plan
goals; that the continued scattering of service commercial uses
on E1 Camino Real must stop if the City is going to reverse its
strip-commercial image.
C. RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends denial of Conditional Use Permit 17-88 based on
the Findings in Exhibit I.

DEVELOPER STATEMENT (PAGE 1 OF 2)
PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
PROPOSED IS THE CONSTRUCTION OF A FOUR BAY SELF-SERVICE CAR WASHING FACILITY
WITH ADJACENT VACUUMING AREAS.
PROJECT DESIGN:
SITE ACCESS AND EGRESS IS PROVIDED TO EL CAMINO REAL BY A SINGLE DRIVEWAY.
ONE-WAY TRAFFIC FLOW IS MAINTAINED ON-SITE: USERS MAY CIRCULATE DIRECTLY FROM
THE WASHING BAYS TO THE VACUUM AREAS AND THEN EXIT THE SITE. ALTERNATIVELY,
ACCESS DIRECTLY TO THE VACUUM AREAS IS POSSIBLE, FROM WHICH THEY MAY DIRECTLY
EXIT THE SITE. THE WASHING BAYS WERE PLACED AT AN ANGLE OF APPROXIMATELY 75
DEGREES TO THE ACCESS DRIVEWAY TO EASE MOVEMENT TO AND. THROUGH THEM. DUE TO
THE SITE'S NATURAL GENTLE SLOPE, IT WILL REQUIRE ONLY MINOR GRADING TO
CONSTRUCT THE FACILITY.
THE STRUCTURE CONSISTS OF FOUR COVERED WASHING BAYS OF APPROXIMATELY 317 SQ.FT.
EACH, AND AN EQUIPMENT ROOM OF 176 SQ.FT. WALLS WILL CONSIST OF SPLIT-FACED
CONCRETE MASONRY UNITS, WHICH SUPPORT A POST AND BEAM ROOF STRUCTURE. THE
BUILDING'S ANGLE TO THE STREET, THE RESULTING ROOF DESIGN, AND THE LANDSCAPING
BUFFER FROM EL CAMINO REAL SHOULD ENHANCE THE APPEARANCE OF THE PROJECT. THE
VACUUM PEDESTALS AND TRASH ENCLOSURES AT THE REAR OF THE PROJECT SHALL ALSO BE
CONSTRUCTED OF SPLIT-FACED BLOCK.
PARKING:
DRYING AREAS AS REQUIRED BY THE ZONING ORDINANCE FOR SELF-SERVICE CAR WASHES
HAVE BEEN INCORPORATED INTO THE PROJECT.

RE: HURLBERT SELF-SERVICE CAR WASHING FACILITY
4825 EL CAMINO REAL
ATASCADERO, CA
DEAR DOUG,
THIS LETTER IS IN RESPONSE TO OUR RECENT PHONE CONVERSATIONS REGARDING THE CAR
WASHING FACILITY AND CONCERNS EXPRESSED BY 'CITY STAFF WITH .RESPECT TO THE
APPROPRIATENESS OF THE PROPOSED USE ON THIS PARTICULAR SITE. IN RESPONSE TO
THESE CONCERNS, WE WOULD LIKE TO OFFER THE FOLLOWING FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION.
i AT PRESENT, THERE EXISTS ONLY ONE SIMILAR FACILITY IN THE CITY OF ATASCADERO.
IT IS READILY ACCESSIBLE TO RESIDENTS LIVING IN THE SOUTHERN PORTION OF THE
CITY. THE EXISTING FULLY AUTOMATED CAR WASH, LOCATED CENTRALLY, ATTRACTS A
DIFFERENT TYPE OF USER AND WE FEEL IS NOT IN DIRECT COMPETITION WITH THIS TYPE
OF FACILITY. DUE TO ITS PROPOSED LOCATION, THE NEW FACILITY WOULD MEET THE
NEEDS OF RESIDENTS LIVING IN BOTH THE NORTHEASTERN AND NORTHWESTERN PORTIONS OF
THE CITY, AS WELL AS AREAS BORDERING ATASCADERO TO THE NORTH.
THE USE AS PROPOSED MAY BE ALLOWED IN A COMMERCIAL-RETAIL (CR) ZONE UNDER THE
CURRENT CITY OF ATASCADERO ZONING ORDINANCE. THE USE IS ALLOWED WITHOUT
CONDITION IN AREAS ZONED COMMERCIAL-SERVICE (CS) AND INDUSTRIAL PARK (IP) . A
STUDY OF THE CURRENT ZONING, HOWEVER, REVEALS THAT THERE ARE NO AREAS ZONED CS
OR IP WHICH ARE CENTRALLY LOCATED IN THE NORTHERN PORTION OF THE CITY. THE
PROPOSED FACILITY'S LOCATION AND ITS DIRECT ACCESS TO EL CAMINO REAL ARE KEY TO
THE SUCCESS OF THE PROJECT.
SOME CONCERN WAS ALSO EXPRESSED INVOLVING THE CLOSE PROXIMITY TO A
RESIDENTIALLY ZONED AREA. AN ANALYSIS OF POSSIBLE IMPACTS TO THE RESIDENTIAL
AREA RESULTED IN THE FOLLOWING CONSIDERATIONS: 1)SOUND THAT MAY BE EMITTED BY
THE FACILITY, 2)THE VISUAL IMPACT OR APPEARANCE OF THE FACILITY FROM THOSE
AREAS, AND 3)THE IMPACT OF LIGHTING EMITTED DURING NIGHT USE.

PAGE 2 OF 2
IN ORDER TO MITIGATE THE POSSIBLE EFFECTS OF SOUND EMANATING FROM DRYING AREAS
ON THE SITE, VACUUMS PROPOSED FOR THE FACILITY ARE TO BE EQUIPPED WITH LOW-
NOISE DOMES. THESE UNITS WILL EMIT A SOUND LEVEL OF APPROXIMATELY 83 dBA AT A
DISTANCE OF 2' AWAY (SEE ATTACHED. DOCUMENTATION) . THIS RESULTS IN A SOUND
LEVEL OF 48 dBA AT THE PROPERTY LINE OF THE NEAREST RESIDENTIAL ZONE,
APPROXIMATELY 125' FROM THE SITE. THIS LEVEL OF SOUND CAN TYPICALLY BE
CHARACTERIZED AS BACKGROUND NOISE, AND IS EQUIVALENT TO THE SOUND EXPERIENCED
IN A GENERAL OFFICE THAT EXPERIENCED FROM A QUIET STREET (REF: MECHANICAL AND
ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT FOR BUILDINGS, 6TH. ED. , McGUINNESS, STEIN, REYNOLDS,
1980) . A MAXIMUM SOUND LEVEL OF 55 dBA IS CURRENTLY PERMITTED IN RESIDENTIAL
AREAS FROM 7 PM TO 7 AN BY THE ZONING ORDINANCE. ALL EQUIPMENT FOR .THE
FACILITY OTHER THAN THE VACUUMS SHALL BE CONTAINED WITHIN THE MECHANICAL ROOM,
WHICH WILL LIMIT ANY EFFECT OF SOUND TO NEGLIGIBLE LEVELS.
WITH REGARD TO APPEARANCE OF THE FACILITY, EFFORTS HAVE. BEEN MADE TO CREATE A
FACILITY WHICH WILL BE MORE ATTRACTIVE THAN MANY F;.CILITIES OF ITS KIND.
EMPLOYED PRIMARILY FOR REASONS OF CIRCULATION•, THE PLACEMENT OF THE WASHING
BAYS AT AN ANGLE RESULTS IN A ROOF DESIGN WHICH .LOWERS THE PROFILE OF THE
BUILDING. THE USE OF LANDSCAPING AND TRADI1ijNAL MATERIALS SUCH AS BLOCK,
WOOD, AND SHINGLE ROOFING, WILL ALSO HELP G:VE.. IT AN APPEARANCE WHICH IS
RESIDENTIAL IN NATURE, AND ADD VISUAL INTEREST WHEN'VIEWED FROM EL CAMINO REAL.
SPLIT-FACE CONCRETE BLOCK, RATHER THAN STANDARD BLOCK, WAS CHOSEN FOR THE
STRUCTURE, THE VACUUM PEDESTALS, AND THE TRASH ENCLOSURES TO GIVE THE FACILITY
A QUALITY APPEARANCE.
THE EFFECT OF OFF-SITE LIGHTING SHALL BE LIMITED BY fHE STANDARDS CONTAINED IN
THE ZONING ORDINANCE. THESE STANDARDS ARE EQUIVALFNIT TO. THOSE REQUIRED FOR
OTHER ALLOWABLE USES IN THE CR ZONE.
WE RESPECTFULLY SUBMIT THAT THE PROJECT MEETS THE INTENT OF THE STANDARDS
SPECIFIED BY THE CITY OF ATASCADERO ZONING ORDINANCE. MITIGATION OF VALID
CONCERNS BEYOND THESE STANDARDS IS POSSIBLE, PROVIDED THE PROJECT MAINTAINS A
SAFE CONDITION WITH REGARD TO PUBLIC HEALTH, SAFETY, AND WELFARE. WE FEEL IT
IS A GOOD PROJECT AND WILL BE AN ASSET TO THE COMMUNITY.

Dear Mike:
The purpose of this letter is to provide you with the results of Lamb
Electric's sound tests completed on the new Jack Adams Model #8600, using the
Acustek 116757-13 and General Signal's Model H072-3450-01.
For our engineering evaluation, 'all sound tests were conducted under identical
standard conditions (680F, 29.92 barometric pressure at a regulated voltage
of 120-volts). Sound test data was accommulatgd using Acustek 116757-13 with
your low noise insulated dome and the standard non-insulated dome. The G.S.
motor H072-3450=01 was then tested under the aforementioned conditions. Both
tests were conducted at a 1/2 and 1" effective orifice diameter. Your unit •
was mounted on a pallet sand situated on a steel floor plate. Microphone
readings were taken at five different positions surrounding the vacuum. These
positions were approximately. 22" from the unit. Resulting data was
accommulated on A-weighted sound power level (dBA) with 1/3 octave bands.
A-weighted simply meaning sound the human ear can pick up.
Sound level comparisons between Lamb's Acustek 116757-13 and General Signal's
H072-3450-01 showed the LuMb,-motor to be substantially quieter.

FINDINGS:
1. The proposed project is not consistent with the General Plan
policies on commercial land uses.
2. The proposed project does not satisfy all applicable
provisions of the Zoning Ordinance, specifically the
development standards for self-service car washes and noise
generation.
3. The establishment, and subsequent operation or conduct of

be detrimental or injurious to property or improvements in
• the vicinity of the use.
4. The proposed project is inconsistent with the character of
the neighborhood and contrary to orderly development in the
Commercial Retail area.
5. The proposed project may generate a volume of traffic
beyond the safe capacity of all roads providing access to
the project, either existing or to be improved in
conjunction with the project, or beyond the normal traffic

PLANNING COMMISSION - MINUTES EXCERPT - 0107/89
•
Doug Davidson esented the staff report d summarized the
previous signage approvals associated w' this development.
He suggested that a following wordi be added to the end
of condition #2 to ad: "The monu t signs shall be
compatible in design a d color wit the existing signage and
building architecture o the cen r. "
Steven Wing, representing t applicant, spoke in support of
the request and asked for a fication on one of the tenant
signs . Staff indicated at th book store could keep one
of their two existing gns, but t both.
MOTION: Made by mmissioner Highla seconded by Commis-
sioner obey and carried 6 :0 approve Condition-
al Us Permit 16-88 subject to a findings and
.. co 'tions contained in the staff eport with
dification to condition #2 to add he language
isted above.
3. CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT 17-88:
Request initiated by Ron Hurlbert (GMS & Associates) to
allow an automobile repair and service use (self-ser-
vice car wash) in the CR (Commercial Retail) zone.
Subject site is located at 4805 E1 Camino Real.
Mr. Davidson presented the staff report on this request.
Staff is recommending denial of the permit noting that the
proposed project is not in conformance with General Plan
policies nor Zoning Ordinance development standards, and
that the proposed location is inappropriate for this type of
use.
Gary Swauger, representing the applicant, related that he
was troubled with the staff report recommendation. He
summarized the background involved with the preliminary
review of this project and how he had interpreted this
proposed use to be compatible within the CR zone. He stated
his reasons for disagreeing with staff' s conclusions for
denial contained in the staff report. He believes this
proposed use is compatible with offices, etc. which are
allowed uses in this zone.
Commissioner Luna referenced the General Plan pertaining to
development of compatible retail trade services which he
felt was the intent of the new Atascadero Mutual Water
office, Hull building, etc. With regard to the preliminary
review, Commissioner Luna pointed out the comment made in
the preliminary review that the site is too small for the
proposed use which would make the request unapprovable. Mr.
Swauger addressed these statements . Discussion followed.
-5- ! •
Chairperson Lochridge asked Mr. Swauger when he first
became •
aware during the preliminary review process that for various
reasons, this use was inappropriate for the site.
Discussion continued.
Arthur Perella, 4625 E1 Camino Real, explained his property
extends from El Camino Real to Hermosilla, and in evaluating
what uses would be appropriate for this property, he did not ,
feel a car wash would ever be feasible or appropriate. He
expressed his opposition to the project and felt the use
would be a detriment to the property.
Eric Hagen with GMS & Associates, representing the
applicant, clarified that the findings of incompatibility
PP g
for the proposed use during the preliminary review process
were based on the fact that it was staff' s understanding
that the subject property abutted a residential zone. At
this same time, .there was no incompatibility expressed .
relative to inconsistencies with the General Plan, ERA
study, etc. In support of the project, Mr. Hagen stated
this use- is similar to a neighborhood and personal type of
service use. He then responded to questions from the
Commission.
Ron Hurlbert, applicant, commented that he was in shock when.
he received the staff report, and felt that staff is looking
at this project from a short term prospective rather than
long term. The subject site is in an area of commercial
blight and he felt this use would be transitional in nature
towards future development of the surrounding area. He
believes this project to be a good clean operation and in a
good location; the project has been designed to help reduce
crime and will be well lit and fenced. He felt staff is
trying to interpret things in a very thin manner.
MOTION: Made by Commissioner Luna to deny Conditional Use
Permit 17-88 based on the findings for denial.
Commissioner Highland felt that although the project has
been well planned and well designed, it is in the wrong
location. He explained his reasons for disagreeing with
staff' s recommendations for Findings #2, #5, and #6 .
Commissioner Luna amended the motion to only
include Findings for Denial #1, #3, and #4 .
Commissioner Highland seconded the motion.
Commissioner Brasher stated that the project, as developed,
would be an asset to the community but the location is
inappropriate. Chairperson Lochridge concurred with Commis-
sioner Brasher' s statements.
The motion carried 6 :0 to deny Conditional Use
Permit 17-88.

MEMORANDUM
.T 0' : City Council
THROUGH: Ray Windsor . City Manager
�ROII- Paul Sensibaugh .. Director of Public Works
SUBJECT : Ret for Release from Reimbursement Agreement
DATE: March 2 , 1989
Recommendation :
Staff recommends that the request from Mr . & Firs . Day
to be released from the LeJeal Sewer Reimbursement
Agreement be denied.
Background:
In 1985 Mr . & Mrs . LeJeal extended a sanitary sewer
line from Cayucos Avenue to property owned by them on Lobos
Avenue that was experiencing_ a septic tank failure . The
extension required easements that were obtained from Mr . &
Mrs . Day . In payment for the easements the Days were paid
$850 . 00 by Mr . & Mrs . LeJeal ($850 . 00 was the annexation
fee at that time) .
Following_ construction of the sewer lines a
Reimbursement Agreement was filed by Mr . & Mrs . LeJeal as
allowed in Section 7-5 . 002 of the Wastewater Ordinance , to
recover a portion of the cost of the extension .
Reimbursement Agreements are simply calculated by
dividing the cost of construction equally between
benefitting property owners .
Prior to Board approval of a Reimbursement Agreement a
Public Hearing_ must be held and all parties involved must
be notified. At this particular Public Hearing Mrs . Day
appeared and requested exclusion from the Reimbursement
Agreement . The reason cited by Mrs . Day was a previous
verbal agreement with Mr . & Mrs . LeJeal that they would not
be responsible for any construction costs . The Board
denied the request for exclusion and approved the
Reimbursement Agreement .
As stated in Section 7-3 . 0103 of the Wastewater
Ordinance , sewer connection is mandatory within 24 months
from the availability of public sewer , ifariances .can be
granted under Section 7-3 . 005 upon written request only
when it is determined that "no health hazard, public
nuisance , or inequity to other property owners will result
therefrom. " The 24 month deadline was October of 1987 and
since that time staff has attempted to encourage connection
by Mr . & Mrs . Day who have stated that while they are
willing to connect they are unwilling to pay the
reimbursement to the LeJeals . Section 7-5 . 003 prohibits
connection to the sewer system without such -_payment and the
issue at this time is at a standstill .
Mr . & Mrs . Day have . requested that this item come
before Council again and to be given another chance to
-plead their case for exclusion from the reimbursement
costs ,
Discussion :
Staff has reviewed the file and listened to the tapes
of the Public Hearing held in 1987 . It does not appear
that the issues have changed since that time , The Cita is
being asked to become involved in a private , verbal
agreement between two parties over which we have no
control .
It would appear that a waiver on the basis of Section
7-3 . 005 of the Ordinance would not be appropriate inasmuch
as approval of the waiver would cause the LeJeals to incur
twice the costs as normally would be their responsibility
and could be considered an "inequity to other property
owners . . . " as stated in this section .
The facts remain that a) the Public Hearing was held
and Mr . & Mrs . Day stated their case and their request was
denied: b) connection to the sewer system is mandatory and
Mr . & Mrs . Day are now a year and a half past the deadline,
and c) a permit to connect cannot be issued without payment
of all fees , including the reimbursement .
Fiscal Impact :
Except for considerable administrative time there is
no fiscal impact to the City due to this matter , whether
relief is granted or not .
City of Ht.y'_e=.%e ero February 1 1 , 198'
City Manager
De ar Mr . Ray Windsor ,
Shelly La ,1eal approached us in October of 1 ?85
requesting an easement through our property at 4175 I_ '•.yu'_os
Avenue i :ayuco=. Aveune in corder to help her . She claimed she
was in a de•_pa.r ?.te situation .
She requested to bring sewer service through our
property to ac _c odmodate a lot of owned by her on Lobos Avenue .
.
At the time of LaJeal ` _ request for .an easement , the
City of f tascader•o also required an easement through our
property ifs order to accomodate od•ate La. Jeal ` =_ situation .
At that time a verbal agreement was reached.
UnfortunatelyUnfortumately we did not ask her two document her c__mmi ttment
paper .aper . Mr=_ . La. ,Teal told u=• that it would be to our
i
[�,=r-{ef I i�_ to grantgrant her �_h%: easement through our land . She
t.a.ted that it the city at some future date required us to
hook up to the sewer sxstem , it would be of no further cost
to 1.1'= as she {:'•lcould alreadx have incurred the expense of
bringing the sewer 1 i nes to and through our property .
We were not excited about granting permanent easements to
La Jeal or the c. i t;*' as easmen is encumber deeds , add building
restrictions to our land and are generally not a good idea .
We felt sorry for her situation and decided to allow her to
die as she needed. We asked that she pay • 850 which t::l.a.s the
hook up fee for the sewer in exchange for the easement . it
was understood , that in e.>change VoJr the easements we I:':lere
not going to incur additional costs, fcor her expenses tie
come down the road to our property and through it at any
later date .
We spoke with the city and they were aware of our
ar•rangment . At no time did the city mention to us that at a
later date Shelly la Jeal would have the right to request
reimbursement for the expenses she incurred bringing the
sewer l i ne down the road to our land which was necessary in
order for her to solve her d i l ema..
At a. later date She 1 1 :r was notified by the city she was
entitled to reimbursement fee=.. We notified the 00 0 tha..t
Ude were not to be included in those reimbursement fees as
guaranteed in our agreement with La Jeal .
We also believe that i + the city requested an easmen t to
o
come through our property and the cit;.' ful 1 yr understands the
rights of people to reimbursement agreements, the city: had _.
re_.ponsibi l i ty to let a=_• know if a reimbursement agreement
would effect or not effec= t us upon granting these easements
and running sewer l i nes to and through Cour property . Upon
requesting an easement through our land, which we granted to
the city, Ude should have been informed and had the right to
decide if Ude were w i l l i ng to grant an easement and then be
required to pax for it years later .
•
. ���
Before we pur sed our home on San Rafa� �we were
notified of all possible reimbursement agreements we might
have to pay .
We believe the city has no right to request a
reirabursement for Shelly La Jeal from us in order for us
hook up to the sewer which we are now required to do , as we
granted her very special priviliges to assist her in
exchange for two things , one not to have to pay to run sewer
to our house if the case ever arose , and $850 to hook us up .
That is minor compared to owning an easement through our
land .
We had no idea that at a future date the city intended or
decided to accomodate Shelly La Jeal by allowing her to gain
a reimbursement from us for easements for herself and city
easements through our land. We believe , the city had a
responsibility to tell us that before you requested and
received an easement from us.
The city is fully aware and understands the rights of
Yeimbursemnt agreements and for us to come to a point years
later where you say to us , " too bad you should have had it
in writing is not "disclosing" information to us when you
requested the easements on La Jeal ' s behalf . I realize La
Jeal made the official request but the city required an
easement through our land and l believe you had a
responsibility to tell us she would ultimately be entitled
to collect on the expenses she incurred and to give us a
choice on the situation .
If the city believes we should be included in that
reimbursement agreement we should have been notified at the
time of the request to go through our property . If you
'
forgot or didn' t think of it then , it is your error ,
certainly we should nc/t be punished by the city .
In order to hook up to the sewer which we are now
required to do, you are requiring we pay the reimbursement
fee to La Jeal . We feel we should not be included in that
requirement for the reasons stated above . We feel tricked
by La Jeal and the city. We also believe disclosure is a
responsibility backed by law. We granted her that easement
for an agreed $850 and we granted one to the city for free .
We did not expect to be required to cover her costs at a
later date .
We would like to respond to the hook up requirements
immediately but do not wish to pay the reimbursement fees to
Shelly La Jeal .
Sincerely , .
' !
Ralph and Gale Day .

MEMORANDUM
DATE: March 14, 1989
TO: City Council
VIA: Ray Windser, City Manager
Henry Engen, Community Development Director
FROM: Joel Moses, Associate Planner
SUBJECT: Tree Removal Request - 10560 San Marcos Road
BACKGROUND:
The Tree Ordinance requires that Heritage Trees not be removed
unless approved by the City Council following a Public Hearing.
PLOT PLAN APPLICATION:
Carl High and David Wells are requesting a Precise Plan to
construct a residence at 10560 San Marcos Road. As a part of the
Precise Plan they are requesting the removal of 4 native white
oak trees on the site. One of the trees is a 40" Oak tree
located in the proposed building foot print.
The Staff is processing a Precise Plan for grading on slopes in
excess of 20% for a single family residence on the site (PP 7-
89) . A previously approved Precise Plan (PP-41-87) lapsed for
work on the site due to inaction on the grading permit. The
site was posted with a stop work order prior to the processing of
the Precise Plan due to grading and tree removal without a
permit.
An Arborist report has been submitted recommending the approval
of the request. The report also recommends the implementation of
a tree protection plan and the planting of six 15 gallon
replacement oak trees.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of the removal of the single heritage
oak tree and the three other oaks as requested conditioned on the
planting of six 15 gallon replacement oak trees as shown on the
plans.

B. ANALYSIS:
The applicant is requesting the abandonment of the old San Andres
Ave. right-of-way which was realigned to its present pattern by
the State Department of Transportation (Caltrans) in 1962.
Although San Andres Ave. was constructed outside this original
right-of-way, it still appears on the assessor' s parcel maps (see
Exhibit B) . The property owner wishes to utilize one-half of
this right-of-way (25 feet) for a future commercial development.
The title report shows that the applicant' s ownership already
extends to the centerline of the old right-of-way. Thus, the
request is for the City to abandon its interest in this right-ofis
-
way as a future road.
•
Prior to adopting a Resolution to Vacate, the •City must be
certain that the right-of-way is not necessary for future road
purposes and that the abandonment will not interfere with the
present or future provision of utility services. Staff has
received approvals of this request from all the affected public
utilities And City departments. Pacific Gas & Electric, Pacific
Bell, and Southern California Gas Co. have no facilities in the
area, and thus, are not requiring easement reservations. The
Atascadero Mutual Water Co. has a six-inch water line near the
drainage channel, which will have to be relocated by the
developer during construction. The blanket easement of the
Water Co. ensures their easement rights. The Fire Department has
noted the need for the existing fire hydrant to remain upon
future development. The Public Works Department has required the
applicant to make an offer of dedication to the City for a
drainage easement, ten (10) feet in width from the centerline of
the existing right-of-way. Grading and drainage plans are
required, as well as the submittal of proof that the City has
acquired the alternate right-of-way where San Andres Ave. now
exists. The existing San Andres Ave. provides adequate
circulation and the old right-of-way is not necessary for future
. road purposes.
Road abandonments (now technically called vacations, but
abandonment is still the prefered choice for general reference)
are accomplished by resolution of the City Council. The
procedure is governed by the Street and Highways Code, under
which the Planning Commission must make the following two
findings:
1. That the abandonment is in conformance with the City' s
General Plan.
2. That the right-of-way is unsuited as a non-motorized
transportation facility, i.e. primarily for the use of
pedestrians, bicyclists, or equestrians.
Both of these findings can clearly be made.
When a road is abandoned, one-half of the right-of-way reverts to
each of the adjacent property owners. The other property owner
involved in this case has been notified of these proceedings and
is in favor of the proposed abandonment.
•
C. RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the Planning Commission make the Findings
in Exhibit G and recommend to the City Council that the right-of-
way be abandoned. .

SUPPL=I NTAL DEVELOPMENT STATEMENT
7005 Atascadero Avenue, Atascadero •
This application concerns a request by the property owner for the
abandonment, formally, of the old San Andres Avenue right-of-way, which
was re-al$figned by Cal Trans in 1962. The current property owner owns
a portion of the old road in fee title (see attached Title Report) .
In March 1961, Cal Trans acquired property to re-al,$ign the
San Andres Avenue/Atascadero Avenue and Highway 41, thus eliminating
a dangerous six-way intersection.
The subject property was created by the Cal Trans re-alAignment.
Old San Andres Avenue still appears on the maps, however, as mentioned
above, the applicant actually owns the roadway, in fee title. The
applicant is desirous of utilizing the unused portion of old San Andres
Avenue, that he owns, for future development. San Andres Avenue at
the subject property will never be used by the City for a future road.
In fact, in the Grant Deed to Cal Trans the Granter, " re-linquished
any and all rights to the use as a roadway of that 10portion of the
above said San Andres Avenue, lying northerly of and adjoining the above
said Lot 20 of Block P-B."
A portion of old San Andres Avenue is currently utilized for drainage '
purposes (ditch}. Most of the present ditch is located on the east one-half
of the old right-of-way.
On September 19, 1988, the applicant's representative met with
Mr. Green of Cal Trans Right-of-way department, and discussed the use
of the old San Andres Avenue right-of-way. He said that Cal Trans is
not concerned with construction of improvements in the old right-of-way.
Cal Trans would expect that the property continue to accept drainage in
the existing ditch. According to Cal Trans, the ditch is not on Cal
Trans property, but, they would like to see the present ditch maintained.
Mr. Green, in fact, said it is the City's responsibility to maintain the
ditch.
It is the owner's intention to develop a building on said lot and
utilize a portion of the old right-of-way. However, any building will be
no :closer than 10 feet of the old R/W centerline, thus insuring the
continued use of the current ditch.
The applicant's use of the property lying within the old San Andres Ave.
R/W is in no way precluded by the Cal Trans Grant Deed (enclosed) . The Title
report mentions an easement (see �8 of report) , however, it is not defined
and is concerned, according to Mr. Green, only with maintaining the present
ditch and acceptance of drainage waters onto said property:
Therefore, the applicant requests abandonment of any City of Atascadero
claim to a right-of-way on subject property. The applicant would be willing
to execute a more precisely defined grant of easement for drainage purposes •
only of approximately ten (10) feet along the centerline of the old San
Andres Ave. Right-of-way.
Exhibit G - Findings for Approval
Road Abandonment 03-88
7005 Atascadero Ave.
(Better Homes and Gardens/Michielssen)
FINDINGS:
1. The proposed abandonment is consistent with the General
Plan.
2. The right-of-way is unsuited for development as a non-
motorized transportation facility, i.e. primarily for the
use of pedestrians, bicyclists, or equestrians.
3. San Andres Ave. has been constructed outside the right-of-
way and provides adequate circulation in the area. The
right-of-way is not necessary for future road purposes.
4. The proposed abandonment will not affect any existing
utilities and adequate utility easements have been retained.

TO: City Council
FROM: Ray Windsor, City Manager
SUBJECT: Proposed 1/2 Cent Sales Tax
DATE : March 14, 1989
At its meeting of March 8th, the County Mayors/Managers Committee
met to discuss the issue of supporting an additional 1/2 cent
sales tax to provide revenue for transportation-related improve-
ments . Information on this issue is contained in the attached
memorandum from the City Managers and County CAO, together with a
report from the County Manager.
As a result of the discussion on this item, there was a motion
• made, which was unanimously passed, to direct the S .L.O. Area
Coordinating Council to go ahead and budget funds to conduct a
Needs Survey relating to the proposed sales tax increase. It was
the consensus of the group that, without first undertaking the
Needs Survey, it would difficult for individual cities to make a
definitive commitment to this program. As a corollary, the man-
agers group were asked to provide, for each city, a synopsis of
the legislation providing for the 1/2 cent sales tax and to in-
vite the Director of the Santa Barbara Area Coordinating Council
to make a presentation on the pros and cons of this issue, which
they attempted to pass last year.
Finally, it was stated that, in the near future, there would be
presentations on this issue before each City Council and the
Board of Supervisors .

MEMORANDUM •
TO: Mayors/Board Chairman
FROM: City Managers/County Manager
SUBJ: Sales Tax
DATE: March 8, 1989
In 1987, Senate Bill 142 was signed into law authorizing all California
counties to increase their sales tax by up to one percent to develop
revenues for transportation improvements. Such authorization requires
an election with over 50% of the voters county-wide approving.
In July of 1988;• the City/County Managers presented to the Mayors/Board
Chairman of this county a proposal requesting authorization to study
this matter to determine the feasibility of asking San Luis Obispo
County voters to approve such an increase. The Mayors/Board Chairman
approved such a study to be done.
With the assistance of the County Engineer and the Area Coordinating
Council Director a study was prepared which established a number of
issues which need further direction from the Mayors/Board Chairman.
Attached is a summary of the contents of the study prepared as
indicated above. The study addresses the projected needs for
transportation development by the agencies in our county for the next
twenty years. The conclusion is that with the utilization of our
current revenue resources we will be over 400 million dollars short of
the funds to do what needs to be accomplished. Even with the revenues
projected from a 1/2 cent sales tax increase we will still be 137
million dollars short of the anticipated expenditures.
The City/County Managers would like to discuss the following issues
with the Mayors/Board Chairman:
Half Cent Versus One Cent
As indicated before, a half cent sales tax increase would still fall
short of anticipated expenditures. Research has indicated that
attempting a full cent sales tax increase has met with a negative
impact from the voting public. To our knowledge no election for a full
cent sales tax increase has ever been approved by the voters.
Attached is a summary showing ballot measures for sales tax increases
as voted upon in the June 1988 general election.

Structure of the Proposed Transportation Authority
The legislation requires that a Transportation Authority be established
to oversee the administration of sales tax funds generated if the
measure is successful .
The City/County Managers would propose that the Transportation
Authority be comprised of a body made up of the Mayors and the Board of
Supervisors. We would further recommend that the City/County Managers
serve as staff to the Transportation Authority with the County Engineer
and Area Council Director providing technical assistance to the
City/County Managers.
Needs Survey
One of the first tasks that needs to be accomplished to bring this
matter to election is the hiring of a consultant to do a needs survey.
The purpose of this survey is to determine public support and to develop
a strategy relating to the types of projects that the citizens of our
county would support at an election.
• There are many issues that need to be determined in such a survey.
Some of these include public support for improved streets and roads
versus expanded funds for transit and amenities such as bicycle paths.
Public support needs to be determined for major projects of a regional
nature versus local projects of a smaller scale but with a cumulative
impact. Public support needs to be determined relating to the issue of
new construction to improve circulation versus the maintenance or
improvement of existing traffic systems.
Efforts need to be made to determine the extent of the public's
perception that more funds for road projects would be growth inducing
and what could be done to address that issue.
The needs survey requires funding. The estimated cost of such a survey
ranges between $20,000 and $30,000. The City and County Managers would
suggest that there are two possible methods of funding such a survey.
The easiest and less complicated method of funding the survey would be
to request that the Area Coordinating Council budget for and conduct
this survey using Transportation Development Act funds. The Area
Council Director supports such a proposal .
The second and more cumbersome approach would be to have all eight
represented agencies budget for their portion of the needs survey cost
based on population.

•
Role of the Area Council
The City and County Managers see two roles for this organization. The
first would be to fund and conduct the needs survey. The second would
be to act in an advisory capacity to the Transportation Authority when
it is formed.
This would be accomplished organizationally by utilizing existing
authority contained in the current Joint Powers Agreement for the Area
Council .
That agreement contains language establishing an Administrative
Committee made up of the managers of the member agencies. They would,
in effect, act as staff to the Area Council relating to this matter.
Citizen Involvement
This proposal will not be successful unless there is broad-based
community support. Elected officials and appointed personnel cannot
successfully be placed in that leadership role.
However, through education of the public and through recruitment of the
necessary general public leaders, elected and appointed officials do
have a role.
Important groups to involve would be a public Coalition of Citizens
like those involved in the now defunct Vision 2000, Chambers of
Commerce, and environmental groups, just to identify a few.
Role of Relationships with Adjacent Counties
The impact of an increased sales tax will be significant to the
businesses in our County. Some effort has been made to work with the
Counties adjacent to ours to coordinate a combined attempt to propose
the sales tax increase concurrently.
Important Counties in this consideration would be the Counties of Santa
Barbara, Ventura, and Monterey.
RECOMMENDATIONS
The City/County managers would propose six distinct recommendations
relating to this matter:
1. Reaffirm support of the concept of conducting an election for the
purpose of adding a one half cent sales tax for transportation
purposes.

2. Support the proposed organizational structure with the Mayors and
Board of Supervisors acting as the. Transportation Authority. The
City/County managers would act as Staff to the Transportation
Authority utilizing the County Engineer and Area Council Director
for technical assistance. The Area Coordinating Council would act
in an advisory role to the Transportation Authority.
3. Support the proposal that the Area Coordinating Council fund and
conduct a Needs Survey relating to the proposed sales tax
increase.
4. Begin thinking of involved community leaders who could form an
organization to educate the general public of the need for such a
sales tax increase and be prepared to suggest individuals and
organizations at a subsequent meeting.
5. Support the concept of a multi-county effort to secure funds for
transportation purposes.
6. Communication with the other elected officials of their
organization to inform them of this proposal and to enlist their
support.

Increased Local Sales Tax for Transportation
Prepared by : County Engineering Department
Recent studies by the County Engineer, in coordination with the
Area Coordinating Council, indicate $384 million is needed for
street and road improvements over a 10-year period, and $756
million total during the next 20 years. These figures include new
construction and reconstruction on local roads and streets, as
well as state highways throughout San Luis Opispo County and
Cities.
Existing federal , state, and local sources of revenue for road
construction have been projected to generate $155 million over a
10-year period, and $349 million total during the next 20 years.
The result of these projections is a funding shortfall. The
• shortfall amount is $229 million for 0 to 10 years , and $407
million over a 20-year period. -
There are a variety of ways the shortfall could be reduced or
eliminated. New sources of funding include bonds, redevelopment
agencies , development fees, local fuel tax increase, and local
sales tax increase. Comparisons among these show the sales tax to
be the most realistic method for financing at least part of the
needed transportation improvements. Forecasts show that a 1/2
percent increase could generate $108 million in 10 years , and $270
million in 20 years.
Even with a 1/2 percent increase there will be a funding shortfall
of $121 million for the 10 year period and $137 million for the 20
year period.
Steps need to be taken very soon to initiate the process , if it is
felt that the sales tax increase is the way to go. The early
j .
steps include establishing a Transportation Authority , choosing an
expenditure plan , and setting an allocation formula. However, the
first step should be to conduct a survey to determine community
support for this sales tax increase, as well as favored
transportation improvements.
