HEARINGS, APPEARANCES AND REPORTS 1. Appearance of ,Harold M. Poland regarding road access to 3-F Meadows, Atascadero Mr. Poland reviewed a map which showed the various access points into the 3-F Meadows area. He emphasized the danger to the residents, some 100 families, in this area in case of emergency and the extra response time required to reach some areas of 3-F Meadows due to only one access point. He requested that the City remove the alleged illegal blockage of San Marcos Road and re-build approximately 600 yards of Carmelita. Howard Marohn alsospokein favor of Mr. Poland' s proposal. Harold Mitchell, Ed Gabowski, Dr. Ellison:, Mary Alexander, Mrs. Cummings, Steve Ward; and Henry Dudley were not in favor of the Homeowners,, Association proposals. Some did not feel that San Marcos is a proper access point; others were concerned about the costs and ' who would pay for the road improvements. John Cole spoke to the comments made by Mr. Mitchell. Mr. Warden advised that the City is aware of the situation in 3-F Meadows, but there are no easy answers. The fastest solution would be for the property owners to form an assessment district to improve their roads and access with the City helping to the extent possible. Council stated that the City would not make the improvements in 3-F Meadows, but that perhaps Staff could investigate the matter and come back with recommendations. Councilman Mackey felt that this was a priority matter and should be dealt with now. No action was taken by Council. C. UNFINISHED BUSINESS , 1.
