(97) 1. AB #6959 - PARK DRIVE PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS - ~
The City Engineer, Les Evans, gave a brief staff report

Vice-Mayor Casler indicated that Council would hear from"
those individuals who had submitted the appropriate
request form.
Council recognized Mr. Jack Hughes, 1727 Calavo Court,

an extreme hazard in the area due to the unimproved
street and excessive speed of the traffic in the area.
He requested that the improvements be required immediately.
Council recognized Mr. Jim McNair, 1732 Calavo Court,
Carlsbad. Mr. McNair requested that this particular area
be required to provide street improvements in the same
manner as other areas of the city which are developing.
Council recognized Mr. Victor H. Arndt, 4625 Park Drive,
Carlsbad. Mr. Arndt stated he was on the Board'of
Directors of Bristol Cover Homeowners Association. He
stated the Board had distributed a notice to their
residents regarding the improvements in question, and
approximately 60 signatures had been received requesting
those improvements. He also commented on safety and
silt in the area.
In response to Council query, the City Engineer stated
that if the improvements in question were made, there
would be no adverse affect on drainage in that area.
Council recognized Mr. Barton W. Lefferdink, 4576 Cove
Drive, Carlsbad. Mr. Lefferdink questioned the reasoning
for allowing a delay in requiring the improvements, and
commented on the existing safety hazards due to the
street.

Council recognized Mr. Richard Dickerson, 4600 Park Drive,
Carlsbad. Mr. Dickerson indicated he owned one of the
lots fronting the area under discussion, and would,
therefore, be required to pay. for a portion of the
improvements. He stated that he did not question the
need to improve the area, but he did' question the extent
of the improvements being requested. He referenced the
agenda bill which accompanied the item at the previous
meeting at which this had been discussed, and reiterated
his concern that the improvements should be required
merely to help a parking problem in Bristol Cove. He '
distributed a copy of a memo to the Council which con-
tained measurements of other street areas in the City
and questioned why Park Drive should be widened when the
other areas were not. He concluded by suggested that if
Council required the improvements, that they consider
not requiring the 48 foot width.
In response to Council query, Mr. Evans stated that the
previous traffic study had suggested that Park Drive be
a four-lane street at a width of 64 feet. Be then
explained previous Council discussions on the matter and
the resulting agreement on the 48-foot width of the
street which would not preclude the possibility of a
four-lane street in the future if the need dictates four
lanes.
Mr. Evans indicated that financing plans which could be
considered include: (1) requiring the property owners
to pay as required; (2) establishing an assessment
district; and (3) have the city finance the improvements
and use reimbursement agreements with the owners so they
would pay over a period of time.
Council discussed the matter including the possibility of
completing the improvements of that entire section of
street all at one time.
Council agreed to require the property owners to construct Casler X
