HD. CITY *lTYvi!! CITY MOR. w RECOMMENDED ACTION: That Council consider adopting Resolution No. 7a// in order to clarify Council intentions relative to future improvement of TAMARACK AVENUE between Adams and Skyline. ITEM EXPLANATION: At Council meeting April 19, 1983 a motion was adopted to prepare a resolution declaring intention to designate Tamarack as a 60' collector street between Adams and Skyline. The attached resolu- tion accomplishes that purpose. If the resolution is adopted, a public hearing will be scheduled for Planning Commission and Council consideration. The action contemplated will require amendment to the Circulation Element of the General Plan. Supporting staff reports will be presented at the public hearing. FISCAL IMPACT: Administrative costs are nominal to prepare the matter for public hearing. substantial savings will be realized due to the lower cost of a 60' collector street compared to an 84' secondary arterial. If the Circulation Element is revised as indicated, EXHIBITS: 1. Resolution No. 72rt 2. April 20, 1983 memo from the Mayor. 3. April 19, 1983 memo from the City Engineer. 4. April 1, 1983 memo from the City Manager. I .a ,' 1200 ELM AVENUE CARLSBAD, CALIFORNIA 92008 Office of the Mayor n TELEPHONE: (714) 438-5561 April 20, 1983 TO THE CIRCULATION COMMITTEE of 1, 2, 3. 4. I have requested an agenda bill for the City Council meeting May 3 which would do three things: State the Counci14s intention to leave Tamarack at 60' right-of-way with 48' pavement width between Adams and Skyline. Request the Circulation Committee to give due consideration to this proposal. Direct the City Engineer to complete constru ction plans for the 1984 budgeted projects in conformance with this resolution. Set the matter for public hearings before the Planning Commission at the earliest possible date to designate this section of Tamarack a collector street and prepare an amendment to the CiEculation Element of the General Plan. EXHIBIT 2 APRIL 19, 1983 TO : MAYOR MARY CASLER FROM: City Engineer YOUR NOTE ASKING: a. Who will pay for improvements on Tamarack; and b. why the delay from Septem*ber to June on setting up the circulation committee. Concerning the first item, the CIP, project 83-18, appropriated $347,681 of P.F.F. money to design and construct the improvements on Tamarack consisting of a Q8-foot street in a 60-foot right of way from Adams to Highland. This does not take into account the obligations of certain pro- perty owners to finance a portion of the improvements. Those obligated are: Vera Devaney and Janet Nelson August0 and Margaret Gorgueiro Harry Haubert Ruth Allen Jack Estes ..... "*... - Although the agreements signed in late 1980 and early 1981 set out estimated amounts, the exact figure has not been calculated as of this moment. Another facet of this project concerns excess city lands created by establishing a 60-foot right of way, Since the right of way varies from 68 to 72 feet and the project is aligned on the north right of way lines, excess land of from 8 to 12 feet will occur on the south side which in turn will revert to the abutting property owner, if vacated. In response to item b, the best answer is that the appointment of a committee was under consideration for a long time. The subject was first introduced at Council on November 16, 1982 and the final appointment was made on January 4, 1983. A written evaluation of the Willdan Report was made by Richard Allen in October 1982, about a month after its receipt, which then served as a basis of intra-staff discussion.
