AB #8736 - SAN DIEGO - CORONADO BAY BRIDGE. Council Member Pettine expressed concern with the limited information on this subject. Mayor Casler stated the bonds of the bridge have been paid off as of last April. The City of Coronado requests some improvement on the adjacent streets and the use of part of the present toll to be used for that purpose. Mayor Casler stated if the Legislature decides to reduce the toll only to provide maintenance for the bridge, Coronado will not get any benefit. Coronado feels some of those streets, particularly the ones used heavily by the Navy personnel, need repair. Mayor Casler moved that Council support the request of the City sf Coronado. The motion died for lack of a second. This item was continued until Auqust 26, 1986, for additional information. 335 - \p 5 COUNCIL 3 % MEMBERS % $ Casler Lewis Kulchin xx X Pettine X 0 MINUTES 0 August 19, 1986 Page 3 ( ( PUBLIC HEARING: 102) 8.

Mr. Grimm indicated if the project is approved, Council should also include the additional conditions regarding Growth Management and the Traffic Impact Fee. Mike Holzmiller, Planning Director, stated this particular project is in the infill zone and the issue of the inadequacy of La Costa Avenue and whether this 13-unit project, or any small project, should be responsible for making all the improvements has not been resolved. That would be an issue to be addressed by the City Council and a recommendation made by staff when the entire facilities plan is prepared for that particular zone. Council Member Pettine questioned whether any projects should proceed without conditions attached to have La Costa Avenue Improvements completed prior to the completion of the projects. Mayor Casler opened the public hearing at 6:40 p.m., and issued the invitation to speak. 33 7 - COUNCIL /p % % MEMBERS % $ Casler Lewis Kulchin XI Pettine F 7 I 0 MINUTES 0 August 19, 1986 Page 4 PUBLIC HEARING: (continued) Bill Hofman, Planning Consultant representing K & K Developers, 6990 El Camino Real, stated they had reviewed staff's report as well as the amended conditions, and concur with all of them.

Bob gohnson, Traffic Engineer, gave the staff report as contained in the Agenda Bill. Lynda Smith, 2601 Levante, addressed the Council stating her support for the stop signs on Levante Street at Romeria Street. Mrs. Smith showed a poster of the intersection of Levante Street and Romeria Street, including photographs. She stated many children travel that area because of the park. She also noted that the school was being constructed, which would increase the safety hazard as more children will be in that area. She also stated there was a petition presented a year ago to the Traffic Safety Commission requesting a series of stop signs at points on Levante Street. In particular, two other intersections were mentioned as being dangerous: Nueva Castilla Way and Calle Madera. Council Member Kulchin made a motion to have the other two streets reconsidered for stop signs and Council Member Pettine seconded the motion. Mayor Casler requested they wait until after the original issue had been determined. Council Member Kulchin, with the consent of the second, withdrew the motion. Diana Halsey, 3042 Levante Street, addressed Council stating there was a drag race in that area last Saturday night. This is just one of the serious problems in the area as far as traffic. 333 - COUNCIL \J$ % 4 % MEMBERS % $ Casler Lewis Kulchin Pettine x: 7 I 7 I 0 MINUTES e August 19, 1986 Page 5 DEPARTMENTAL AND CITY MANAGER REPORTS: (continued) Council Member Kulchin stated the people need to know the City is interested in the speeding problem in that area. Police Chief 3imno stated the previous survey showed that 90% of those speeding were residents of that area and they were being ticketed. There is more police protection in the area at the present time, with three cars there every day. This is due partly because of the construction in the area and the very high priority placed on that area. Council introduced the following Ordinance: ORDINANCE NO. 3202, AMENDING TITLE IO, CHAPTER 10.28 OF THE CARLSBAD MUNICIPAL CODE BY THE ADDITION OF SECTION 10.28.370 REQUIRING STOPS FOR STREETS INTERSECTION ROMERIA STREET.

AB 1!8723 - Supplement R2 - GRANTING APPEAL -MINOR SUBDIVISION AT ADAMS AND HOOVER - MS-730/PUD- 225. - City Attorney Vincent Biondo stated the words, "without prejudice" should be added to the resolution per previous Council action. Council adopted the following Resolution: RESOLUTION NO. 8761, GRANTING THE APPEAL FROM THE CITY ENGINEER'S APPROVAL AND DENYING MINOR SUBDIVISION 730 HOOVER STREETS, as amended by the City Attorney. Council Member Lewis stated inasmuch as Adam Street is a scenic route, he proposed staff recommend the Coastal Commission not approve any structure above the sight line of Adam Street. Mike Holzmiller stated this project will be coming back to Council when a new application is filed, and the height problem could be addressed at that time. It is an issue and staff could work on that with the applicant. Mr. Holzmiller stated if Council wished to place additional restrictions on that area, they should direct staff to do that by ordinance. That would need a series of public hearings. In answer to query, Mike Holzmiller stated the Coastal Commission has the final authority in that area. The City can require the height be restricted, but the applicant goes to the Coastal Commission for final approval. If the City of Carlsbad made a recommendation to the Coastal Commission staff, they would most probably go along with that recommendation.

There are so many restrictions on the property in that area, it is virtually impossible to use the property. She stated they had gone back and forth on the Agua Hedionda Plan for eleven years and the Coastal Commission understood that not everything could be exactly one way. There must be some options, and they have put in a view corridor option. It is a scenic road, but the traffic count on the road is not substantial. She felt the owners were aware of the recommendations Council had made. Council requested staff to process appropriate hearings and documents to establish additional height restrictions in that area to protect the scenic route. 1(77) 12. AB f8738 - GROWTH MANAGEMENT PROGRAM PROGRESS REPORT . Mike Holzmiller, Planning Director, introduced Paul Zucker and Fay Round, consultants working for the City to establish the growth management program.

James Courtney, 4914 Avilla Avenue, speaking for CARA, stated that as far as the Macario Canyon Facility, they were talking about 25 acres, not the rest of the canyon. They felt their estimate of $3,500,000 was very liberal and the ballfields they are requesting could be provided for less than that. This does not allow anything for the road, inasmuch as that is a separate issue and has nothing to do with the initiative. Mr. Courtney stated building Faraday is the City's responsibility and he felt the road should be built now. Council adopted the following Resolution: RESOLUTION NO. 8763, AUTHORIZING CERTAIN OF ITS MEMBERS TO FILE A WRITTEN ARGUMENT REGARDING A CITY MEASURE, with the insertion of the names of all five Council Members; and Council Members Casler and Lewis designated as a subcommittee to determine additional signatures to acquire in the event all Council Members do not sign the argument.
