Supervisor’s Report: Bruce Gibson
Was in State Capitol this week. The state budget, not final yet. Cambria, this Friday: official opening (ceremony) of Moonstone Beach at Leffingwell. Cambria flood Control Project-funding for all but the permanent pumps. Questions-Debby Mix: status of San Simeon Creek bridges. Project has not yet gone through bidding process. Construction predicted for next summer. Dawn Dunlap: name of new bridge? Moonstone Beach Drive Bridge or Moonstone Beach Bridge. E. Ohannesian-Flood Control Project Main- questions reason for construction of new street next to West Village Pizza. Affects businesses. Will it be finished by Pinedorado. Ghent says yes. John Lamb, Neil Cohen questions. Amanda Rice-transfers form for $ for Council matters to Supervisor.
County Liaison Report: Jeremy Ghent, Airlin Singewald
Airlin: long range planning projects-Handout: Monthly Status Report for Aug. 2009 (posted on NCAC website) Steve: San Carporfojo area adjacent to Joyce Williams property. A road along this area cuts thru private land. Will it be available for public to use? Airlin-sounds like the road is not legally allowed. Dawn Dunlap: the survey done by County was incorrect. Joyce Williams still has 20 acres. Jeremy Ghent: Ardath/Oxford-speed trailer is positioned. 60% of drivers are breaking the speed law at this intersection. Most calls rec’d by Jeremy re. speeding on residential roads in Cambria. Residential areas-speeding occurs. IS ASKING FOR CAMBRIA RESIDENTS TO SLOW DOWN WHILE DRIVING THROUGH RESIDENTIAL AREAS. Repeat offenders also are Cambria residents, not tourists.
Economic Stimulus-Business concerns-re. resurfacing of Main street from Cornwall to Windsor.begins in October , at the earliest. Javier Veliz, Business rep. of NCAC, asks if there is a time limit on the funds for resurfacing and if it can be postponed until FEB. Ghent: no time limit on funds but the weather conditions dictate the time element involved and project cannot be postponed because later in year, the weather may prevent asphalt from solidifying properly.
Speed trailers-once removed from intersections or streets, speeding commences after 2 weeks..
Traffic Committee Report-Erwin Ohannesian, Chair
Aimee Wyatt, Cambria Trolley update Head of Cambria Trolley, met and worked with Chamber of Commerce. A $ 14,000 deficit. Cohen: is the driver paid? Yes. Could volunteers be used instead? Routes and hours limit the use of volunteers. Insurance regulates it. Warren Gay, driver answers/questions regarding fees and licenses, etc. It may be mandatory to introduce fees for the riders. Alan Field and Warren Gay, two drivers present at meeting. Proposal-No route reduction, just limitation of days. May run only on Friday, Sat, and Sundays through Labor Day. Aimee presents current route. Gillis-rides trolley 2 or 3 x a week. Mrs. Jackson-does not drive. Uses trolley frequently. Sees a lot of children ride the trolley plus many workers. Neil Cohen-trolley collect $29. /month in volunteer donations by riders. Alan Fields-San Simeon needs the trolley. The big bus does not serve the working residents of San Simeon. Erwin Ohannesian-hotels must let tourists know of trolley. Kathe Tanner-suggests Aimee contact Ken Cooper of Hotel/Motel Association. -trolley vs Bus. Seating not comfortable, but people like it and enjoy the bell-ringing. CCSD-not paying a portion of bus cost anymore. Why not? Suggests an organized group go and ask for funding of trolley and concerts in the park. Amanda asks about funding and is told that Water, Sewer, Parks and Rec areas are the only ones now funded by CCSD. Does not include funds for trolley.
Project/Land Use Committee Report-Joyce Renshaw, Chair
Comments on project at 1043 Main Street.
Project Description: SUB2008-00104 Coal 09-0018 Planner-Bill Robeson. Lot Line Adjustment between two parcels to allow for on site sewage disposal, expansion area and to conform with AG buffer setback. APN: 013-062-003 and 005 Comments: Is the sewage disposal expansion area adequate to not contaminate the aquifer of CCSD? The lot line adjustment will allow them to put a septic tank more than 100 feet from the CCSD property line. This should be adequate. Recommendation: Support
Project Description PMT2004-00269 1043 Main Street Planner: R. Hostetter. Commercial building on Main Street at the end of Cambria Drive. Comments: Planner Ryan Hostetter asked for our input regarding the commercial building at 1043 Main Street. An e-mail from her stated concerns regarding the appearance of the building as it nears completion. Because this project is visible from one of Cambria’s gateways, the committee recommends sending a letter with the following comments: We share many of your concerns. Our Land Use Committee took a field trip to the site on August 3, 2009. We looked closely at the building’s outside. The current construction does not look like the approved 2006 plans nor does it conform to some aspects of the Cambria Commercial Design Plan. It lacks many of the aesthetic qualities and details the permitted plans included. The use of colors/materials is not what was decided on in the 2006 design and the use of natural rocks is missing. The requirement of using box size trees that the signed developers agreed to has not been met. We recognize that large trees are expensive, and that the small trees that have been planted will grow over time, but we would like to see at least some larger trees to soften the property. We agree that the sign is very important because it is the Gateway to Cambria. As you know, the Land Use Committee is waiting for the McKinneys to bring us new plans for the sign to review. We felt the sandblasted redwood, shown in the plans, would not stand out enough to be visible. We talked with the McKinneys in terms of larger, bolder letters. We did not recommend anything specific because we wanted to see what the McKinneys would propose. The project as it stands now does not look like the project approved. This is of concern to the Council, but we also are concerned that the Planning Department did not raise these issues earlier.
The major applicant, Mr. McKinney, is present, along with all partners. Says meeting with County has take place and all outstanding issues regarding trees and signs have been resolved. Needs signs which are visible back off the street and letters need to be larger. J. Lamb-questions color of stone Bahringer-proposes the committee meet to review sign with chamber within a month. Vote on letter being sent with the first 2 paragraphs deleted. (see above) Motion passes unanimously. Main-states that the building itself is an asset to the business community. Compliments owners . Mrs. McKinney-Chamber signage not yet decided on . She Is working with Mary Carson on the design of a new sign, but no funds are currently available. G. Gall-questions amount of $ being spent on design of new sign. J. Renshaw-needs details of proposed sign. ( letter of support of project will have the first 2 paragraphs(see above) deleted.)
Treasurer’s Report-Gary Gall, Chair
Balance =$41.15. $45. placed in account by Gary from personal funds to cover the PO Box fee. There is still a bill for $15.59 to Lighthouse Litho outstanding.
Chair’s Report-Amanda Rice
Grand Jury Report-available for anyone to read. Election Process Ad-hoc Committee appointments- Jeff Miller volunteers along with Gary Gall. Should the Bu-laws committee also work on election revisions? Jeff asks Gibson if any forms needed for NCAC members to fill out re. elections. Conservation/Open Space- Responses to comments will be available online. Council Chairs-met last week Web Update training is ongoing.
Trees taken down by PGE recently and left on owner’s property. Wood is available. Is PGE responsible for replacing the trees cut down? Kathe Tanner-PGE rep says only one of 2 categories require replacement. Neil Cohen-Greenspace has saplings in a hothouse, may be available. Erwin O.-no revenues to manage the forest. High winds bring trees down, sometimes on homes. Mary Giacoletti-against burning of trees which have been downed by PGE because burning contributes to death of trees. Kathe-wood can be chipped. Alan –tree debris should be collected by PGE.
Adjournment of meeting at 8:20 PM Respectfully submitted, Marty Munoz-Main, Recording Secretary |

Vacation rental ordinance also discussed at the last Land Use Committee Meeting. A letter was drafted by Amanda Rice(posted on NCAC website) to be sent to Board of Supervisors re. several issues which may mitigate the problems encountered by several local residents.
The Planning Department has already published its own report with John Busselle who was at the meeting also. Specific issues re. vacation rental discussed and the changes which could occur would be one or more of the following types:
Administrative change
Interpretive change
Amending the Ordinance-need Coastal Commission approval.
John Hals(?)-local resident opposed to vacation rental licenses used by real estate agents to sell homes. If ownership changes, and fee is paid, the license continues. The situation would evolve as has the issue of water meters in Cambria. Vacation rental licenses should be like dog licenses, which expire when the dog does.
Supervisor Gibson-vacation rental currently needs
Land Use Permit and Vacation Rental Business License
County needs to set basic rules re. policy re. vacation rentals.
John Hals(?)-why not just enforce problem properties?
Brad Hale- ? re.both requirements.
Frank DeMicco-endorses cooperation with Sheriff.
Presently, Cambria has 275 vacation rental homes, none in Leimert (CC& R’s forbid )
Audience member(not identified) asks if DeMicco is aware of existence of Vacation Rental Ordinance. (Later identified as Martin Verheagh)
Leslie Richard-restoration of residential character?
Dr. Ann Pickard-local Marine Terrace resident who has lived 9 years next to a Vacation Rental She has called the Sheriff’s office, property manager and has gotten no suitable response.
Once had a fire on the deck of the rental while she was on vacation
Has experience incident after incident, such as 2 incidents within a 6 month period, noise, disturbing the peace, wood smoke, curfew for outside noise. Suggests
new construction or additions to existing vacation rentals should be prohibited.
And a stiffer policy of enforcement.
Neil-one third of all vacation rentals do not have a professional property manager.
Pickard-has called and sent letters to follow up. She has rec’d letters back, abusive in nature. When selling the house, this situation would affect the value of resale.
John Lamb-suggests Council endorse the letter written by Amanda Rice
Kate-do regular neighbors cause the same problem?
Brad Hale-suggests eliminating the problem renters only.
Supervisor Gibson-problem areas/neighborhoods.
Vacation rentals are commercial use in a residential neighborhood.
Erwin O.-conditional use permit. Suggests license go with the owner, not with the land.
Supervisor Gibson-CUP in SLO is attached to the land
S. Cole-offers himself as an observer to Dr. Pickard and asks others to call 909-9797 if they need his help for these situations.
M.Main-Do neighbors have to be notified by the County before a vacation rental license is granted? No, only after.
Barbara Crowley-lot size contributes to the problem.. She can hear the vacation rental occupants next door, even when they are not yelling.
She says she lives next door “to the most successful rental in town”.
Dawn Dunlap-Cambria subdivided in 1930 when original cabins were built on small lots.
John-County has no ability to regulate and enforce the current Ordinance.
Wayne Ryburn-Ordinance needs more enforcement. He tells of vacation rental nightmare on Marine Terrace.
Brad Hale-overkill situation. Keep 99% of vacation rentals in place. Terminate the problem rentals.
Martin Verheagh(sp?)- began Ordinance in 1998. Asks for County to limit the # of vacation rentals to the present number.
From 1998-2003: throughout this time, all vacation rentals were grandfathered.
Dave Lackman- another Cambria resident with vacation rental nightmare. Lives next to rental which produces excessive noise. The noise limit is too high. Is happy to hear that the situation is finally being discussed and comments by public being made. Permits/licenses should not be attached to the property . Prefers bidding process for the license.
Bob Casper, manages 30 vacation rentals in Cambria. Has had no problems.
After vacation rental license is issued, neighbors are then notified. One half of vacation rentals ARE NOT professionally managed.
In addition, there are many ILLEGAL vacation rentals operating without a license.
CCMA- a professional management association. See website at sloccma.org. for a list of all homes which are professionally managed.
$750,000-$1 million in taxes paid by vacation rentals and also residents benefit indirectly from vacation rentals.
Jeff Miller-at least 10 illegal vacation rentals.
Mike Stotter-changes in Ordinance OK but enforcement is needed. Rather than changing the Ordinance, just enforce the rules of it.
Gary Gall-requirements of problem property
Jeff Miller-suggests that after 2 violations in 6 months of non-professionally managed property, “ticket” should be imposed.
Motion to add suggestion to Drafted Letter. VOTE
Motion passes. 9 in favor, 3 opposed.
