B. HEARINGS, APPEARANCES AND REPORTS
1. Hearing on weed abatement protests
Mr. Warden stated that only one letter had been received from a
Mrs. Charles R. Mills which wasn' t really a protest. He read the let-
ter to Council.
Mayor Wilkins asked if there were any protests from people in the
audience with regard to the weed abatement program. Mr . Pierce said
that after his property had been posted, he had put two horses on the
property which has eliminated the weed problem. Mike Hicks, Fire
Chief, stated that if the problem was eliminated, the Fire Department
will not abate the property and the property owner will not be
charged.
' As there were no other protests, the hearing was closed. Coun-
cilman Mackey asked about abatement if the weeds were on the roadside
area. Mike Hicks said that abatement would be the responsibility of
the property owner since property is owned to the middle of the
street.
' MOTION: Councilman Stover moved that Council direct . the Fire Chief
or his authorized representative to abate the nuisances or
fire hazards. The motion was seconded by Councilman Nelson
and unanimously carried.
2. Appeal of Planning Commission determination concerning of-
fices as a permitted use in the R-2 Zone, Ralph Deffenbaugh
' Associates
Larry Stevens reviewed the request before Council and the Planning
Commission' s determination that offices were not a permitted use in
the R-2 Zone.
Mr. Deffenbaugh appeared before Council requesting that they allow
some elasticity in the General Plan and Zoning requirements of the
City. He felt that his project would preserve one of the original
colony homes and that this would be an asset to the community. He had
a petition signed by residents in the neighborhood supporting the use
of this house for office space. Mel Schroer, pastor of the Community
Church located near the house, spoke in support of the use.
3
MINUTES - ATASCADERO CITY COUNCIL - JUNE 14, 1982
Mr. Stevens stated that under present City ordinances, Council is
not able to grant this use. The alternative is to direct City Staff
to draft an ordinance to allow special consideration for historical
structures in an R-2 Zone. Mr . Stevens noted that in his opinion, it
is not appropriate to allow a commercial use in a residential area.
There are other alternatives such as using the house for a day. care or
other care facility, moving the structure to property properly zoned
for offices, etc.
MOTION: Councilman Macke moved that Council turn this appeal to the
Y PP
Planning Department and ask them to come back with-a recom-
mendation that will allow some leeway in historial structures
so that they can be used. The motion was seconded by Coun-
cilman Nelson and unanimously carried by roll call vote with
Councilman Highland abstaining.

2. Halliday appeal (continued)
Mr. Warden stated that this matter had been continued from the
last meeting so that Mr . Halliday could have an opportunity to meet
with Mr. McPherson, Public Works Director and City Engineer , regarding
his problem and to provide Mr . McPherson with Mr. Halliday' s calcula-
tions.
Mayor Wilkins asked the Hallidays if they had provided Mr . McPher-
son with the calculations as requested at the last Council meeting.
' They said that they had provided him with part of the information;
they were not arguing the calculations, but the values used. They
were also objecting to applying an urban services district criteria
for determining the proper values.
There was considerable discussion with Mayor Wilkins not in favor
of allowing the Hallidays to spend the time doing the calculations
when the basic data had not been provided to the Public Works Depart-
ment. Mr. Grimes reminded Council that this was not an appealable
matter, but a ministerial one and Council could dispose of it as they
see fit.
