PUBLIC HEARING ON APPEAL OF PLANNING COMMISSION DENIAL OF
TENTATIVE PARCEL MAP CDP AND RELATED VARIANCE FOR
REDIVISION OF 2 LOTS AT THE CORNER OF OLIVE AND SHASTA
(CASE NOS. TENTATIVE PARCEL MAP #MB 83-232/CDP 87-84R)
Mr. Napper indicated that just before the meeting, he had dis-
tributed to the Council a letter received today from adjacent
property owners expressing their comments to the Council on this
subject. Mr. Napper then turned the meeting to Mr. Multari for
the staff presentation.

BAY CITY COUNCIL
- AUGUST 12, 1985
Mike Multari, Planning Director, presented the appeal and out-
lined the Planning Commission's denial of a Tentative Parcel
Map, Coastal Development Permit and related Variance from the
minimum lot size requirements. He then gave a brief history of
prior proceedings. He explained that the property consists of a
portion of Lot 1 and 2. The property was left to several
different people. The parties receiving the property agreed to
a lot line adjustment between Lots 1 and 2. However, the lots
have been used as one for a long time and it was determined that
what was required was a special privilege, and the parcels did
not fall into that area as there were no special circumstances
which would warrant a Variance.
Mayor Zeuschner opened the hearing to the public for comments.
Bruce Elster spoke representing the appellant for the approval
of the map. He did not want any confusion concerning the makeup
of the map and gave a brief background. He said that through
court proceedings, one of the parties received portion 2 which
contains the garage. He explained the City does not have a
process by which you can adjust the lines between the property
without filing a parcel map. He stated there are already two
parcels there. They have a separate deed, separate tax bill,
but the property cannot be conveyed until they have a certifi-
cate of compliance which Council denied to issue. He stated
that if the application was denied, they had no course open to
them but to go back to court, where the Superior Court has
determined there are two lots and the land has been divided.
Mrs. Walling felt Mr. Elster was in error as the lot has been
one lot since 1880. She did not feel it would fit in with the
neighborhood and she had circulated a petition and talked with
others who felt the same way.
James Montgomery, a neighborhood property owner, was against the
lot division, indicating it would not enhance property values.
MOTION: Councilmember Kaltenbach moved that the hearing be
closed to the public. The motion was seconded by
Councilmember Miller and unanimously carried. (5-0)
Councilmember Risley spoke briefly indicating that this has
always been a single lot created out of portions of other lots.
He feels the Council should put an end to this kind of thing.
Councilmembers Sheetz and Kaltenbach were in agreement with
Councilmember Risley, and felt that if an exception was made in
this case it might set a precedent which others would follow for
special favors.
MINUTES - MORRO

BAY CITY COUNCIL
- AUGUST 12, 1985
Councilmember Miller felt that since there were two deeds, two
tax bills and the lots had been legally split by the courts,
even though the City was not in agreement, the City should let
it stand rather than incur expenses of going to court.
Mayor Zeuschner was concerned with a statement made by Mrs.
Walling whereby 2 feet were on another lot and wondered if that
would create a domino effect. Mike Multari indicated that it
would not affect other lots. Also Mayor Zeuschner indicated
that some title companies had said there were 2 lots and some
said 1; which is correct?
Mr. Multari indicated this had been researched by two City
Attorneys and they indicated there were 2 lots. It was noted in
the discussion that in 1935 they were officially resubdivided by
deed into 2 lots, but there is still some controversy if that
actually happened or was just proposed.
Councilmember Risley referred to an appraisal report of December
1981 which indicated Lots 1 and 2 were made of two-thirds of 2
former building sites.
Mr. Elster explained this is how they were referred to or
described from the original subdivision as portions of Lot 1 and
Lot 2, and that will always be their description.
Mayor Zeuschner also feels that if a certificate of compliance
were issued, it would set a precedent and he feels each case
should be handled individually.
MOTION: Councilmember Kaltenbach moved that staff be directed
to draft a resolution to come back at the next meeting
upholding the Planning Commission decision and denying
the appeal. The motion was seconded by Councilmember
Risley and carried on the following roll call vote:
AYES: Kaltenbach, Risley, Sheetz
NOES: Miller, Zeuschner
A-2 SONIC CABLE TV REQUEST FOR FRANCHISE RENEWAL
Mr. Napper reported that at this time the City is not actually
renewing the cable franchise, but just entering into negotia-
tions with Sonic TV. Sonic expressed a desire to renew and
their notice is pursuant to State and Federal regulations. Mr.
Napper explained the Cable TV Board was formed in 1983 and they
have worked through some very difficult times and issues such as
programming, rate control, rights to franchise renewals.
MINUTES - MORRO
REGULAR MEETING

BAY CITY COUNCIL
- AUGUST 12, 1985
State and Federal regulations have pre-empted a lot of local
discretion such as to what can be programmed on the cable system
and what the franchise fee shall be. At this time the City is
getting 3% of gross receipts; there is now legislation to say
the City will receive 5% of gross receipts but gross receipts
will not include premium -pay television. The scope of the TV
Board has changed greatly because of many changes in State and
Federal regulations. Within the City's control is the length of
the franchise and what kind of standards will be required.
Mr. Napper indicated Sonic wants to rebuild the entire communi-
cations cable system, which raises the question of what exactly
this includes. According to the letter sent by Sonic they will
rebuild all of the community cable system in the City.
Mr. Napper indicated that there is an unwritten code among TV
franchise companies that competitors will not enter an area
where there already is a cable company. Regardless of this, the
City did send out a letter to a number of cable companies. The
letter was not a request for proposal but rather an expression
of interest. By the closing date, the City had not received one
response. A couple of days after the closing date a letter was
received from one of the cable companies saying they were not
interested in cabling Morro Bay at this time.
Mr. Napper asked for Council's approval for himself, his assis-
tant and the City Attorney to prepare a tentative agreement with
Sonic to be submitted to the TV Board and then to Council for
approval.
Mr. Napper indicated the City should probably negotiate a month
to month extension of the existing franchise with Sonic until an
agreement could be reached for a long-term agreement.
MOTION: Councilmember Risley moved to accept the staff recom-
mendation to start negotiations with Sonic Cable TV.
The motion was seconded by Councilmember Sheetz and
unanimously carried. (5-0)
Councilmember Risley stated that

C-1 COUNCIL DISCUSSION OF AMENDMENT TO WATER RETROFIT
ORDINANCE, ORDINANCE NO. 265
Mr. Napper made a brief report and then turned the matter to
Councilmember Sheetz.
Councilmember Sheetz said the idea of retrofitting had looked
good on paper but in actuality it might not turn out to be such
a great program. Since she has had some experience with past
droughts, she wanted to explore the water retrofit idea further.
Councilmembers Kaltenbach and Risley agreed with Councilmember
Sheetz. The whole idea is to save water and they want to be
sure it is really working. Councilmember Kaltenbach asked if
any retrofits had been granted. Mike Multari said yes but no
construction had been started on any of the projects. Council -
member Risley suggested that Council should review proposals
granted by Planning Commission and that all retrofit proposals
needed to go before Council. Mr. Multari explained that guide-
lines were passed by Council at some earlier date granting the
Planning Commission the right to make decisions within those
guidelines.
Mayor Zeuschner suggested Council look at the projects approved
already. Mike Multari said there were 3 or 4 approved; a condo
project, 3 small apartments with the largest project having 10
units.
Mayor Zeuschner asked that the projects be monitored to see, if
in fact, water was saved. Maybe the guidelines should be looked
at to see if they needed ajustment or perhaps the ordinance
itself should be looked at.
Mr. Multari indicated some studies have been made on retrofit
programs, so the City is not working in the dark. He has a copy
of a HUD report, and it shows savings of substantial amounts of
water. Mr. Multari said water bills will also be monitored in
the next 2 years to see if water is really being saved. Mayor
Zeuschner said he believes it will work, just wants to see how
accurate the program is and how much water is saved.
Mr. Napper indicated the only way to get accurate figures is to
go through a pilot retrofit program and monitor it closely. He
also suggested using the advisory boards to help; perhaps the
Water Advisory Board could look at the plan and make a recommen-
dation to Council; also the Planning Commission might be able to
help in this area. Mr. Napper suggested that the Council may
want to stop allowing retrofit water equivalencies until it is
found out how well the program is going to work.

MOTION: Councilmember Risley moved that this item be tabled for

permits given, projects approved, and projected water
savings. The motion was seconded by Councilmember
Sheetz and unanimously carried. (5-0)
C-2
MAINTENANCE AGREEMENT FOR BAYSHORE VILLAGE PARK AREA
Mr. Napper reported that the parking lot and restrooms will be
the responsibility of the City. Recreation has indicated they
have enough manpower to take on this responsibility. The City
has the option to revise the insurance requirements every 5
years if it wishes. The word "gravity" on page 5 of the report
in the agenda packet should be struck out as the City has no
responsibility for the project sewage system; this is to be the
responsibility of the Bayshore Village Park Homeowners Associa-
tion.
Councilmember Risley feels the names of the people who signed
the agreement should be typed in so they are readable. Ten
years from now it will be difficult to know who signed. He also
brought up the fact of a bike path that has been there for 15
years which has been cut into by the developer. He asked about
the liability jurisdiction.
Nick Nichols, Public Works Director, indicated that the
developer is liable and has insurance to cover any problems. He
also indicated that when the project is complete the bike path
will be rerouted and usable once again.
Councilmember Risley was also concerned about a fence that needs
to go between some private property and the park as cars and
individuals are going through the private property.
Mr. Nichols indicated he did not know the contractor's schedule
as to when he would be putting up the fence but will talk to him
about it and get the fence up as soon as possible.
MOTION: Councilmember Risley moved to approve the contract
providing the names of signatures are typed in. The
motion was seconded by Councilmember Kaltenbach and
unanimously carried. (5-0)

Mr. Napper said that a question has been raised as to whether
the City owns Whidbey Street right-of-way to lease to the appli-
cant for off -site parking. The question should be solved before
entering into an agreement. The applicants have initiated a
title check which hopefully was to have taken 3 to 4 days and
now looks like it will take 30 to 45 days. The applicant has
submitted a written request which was distributed to Council
asking Council to agree to waive the time limits for a final
decision until this title search is complete. Staff concurs

Mayor Zeuschner stated that he would like this item tabled until
the legal question had been resolved. Councilmember Kaltenbach
objected to having it tabled until a later date.
Jeff Jorgensen, City Attorney, said he had extensive telephone
conversations over the last week with members of the Attorney
General's Office, both the counsel for the Coastal Commission
and also counsel for the Department of Fish and Game. There
appears to be 2 major jurisdictional issues; first, between the
City and the Coastal Commission with respect to who has juris-
diction, if there is authority to regulate ghost shrimping under
a Conditional Use Permit or a Coastal Development Permit. The
second issue is whether or not ghost shrimping is a commercial
fishing activity which is preempted by the Department of Fish
and Game. There has not been time for the Attorney General to
make an opinion and submit it to the City. Mr. Jorgensen felt
the City would have authority under its Local Coastal Program
and its zoning and planning regulations.

D-4 RESOLUTION NO. 84-85 DENYING AN APPEAL RE: NINE -UNIT
CONDOMINIUM
Councilmember Risley had some questions concerning the letter
from Mr. Scott; he was not certain as to the intent of the
letter.
Mr. Multari stated that the intent of the letter was to waive
requirement time for a tentative parcel map. He also stated Mr.
Scott, one of the partners in the project, was present at the
meeting.
Mr. Kenneth Scott reaffirmed that the intent of the letter had
been to waive the requirment time for the parcel map, and they
were in agreement to that fact.
Councilmember Risley said there were a number of homeowners from
that area in the audience and they are preparing to file an
appeal with the Coastal Commission and were just waiting for the
Council's decision. He also felt that on a whole he agreed with
the staff report but felt in Appendix A there were some incon-
sistencies regarding interpretation of Land Use Plan Policy 9.05
and 9.06 on excavations.
Mr. Frank Volpe came forward representing the people in the area
who are considering filing an appeal, and wanted a committee to
investigate why this particular area was rezoned.
Mr. Jorgensen said they would not lose any rights by waiting to
file their appeal pending Council final action.
MOTION: Mayor Zeushcner moved that this matter be tabled for
not more than 45 days pending outcome of the resolution
of title to the right-of-way area. The motion was

PANETTA'S OFF -SHORE OIL DRILLING COMPROMISE
Councilmember Sheetz did not feel the Council should go forward
with this resolution until it has a little stronger wording.
She said she had calls from a number of concerned citizens
regarding off -shore drilling. After reviewing the matter, she
felt that Council should reconstruct a resolution concerning the
needs and concerns of the people of Morro Bay after a public
hearing.

Mr. Napper advised that on August 20th the Secretary of the
Interior will be in San Luis Obispo for hearing on this matter
and wanted to hear from one representative from Morro Bay. The
hearing will be around 1:00 p.m. Mayor Zeuschner indicated he
would like to compromise but would like to see the full agree-
ment in writing first.
Debra Young from the audience indicated she had asked for a copy
of the compromise (she had called Panetta's office) and was told
they would send her one. She followed up a week later and was
told the request had to go through the Washington office and
there was no way she could get it in time for the Monday
meeting. She then started calling different people in Morro Bay
and discovered that no one had a copy. She held the same senti-
ments as Council and the Mayor as to why the City should adopt a
compromise when it really did not know what it encompassed,
having never seen it in writing.
MOTION: Councilmember Risley moved that Mayor Zeuschner be the
representative for Morro Bay and speak to Secretary
Hodel and oppose the off -shore oil drilling. The
motion was seconded by Councilmember Sheetz and
unanimously carried. (5-0)
Peter Diffley asked if individual comments concerning this
matter could be sent to the Mayor; the Mayor said yes, he would
