This condition requires the interim improvement of the intersection of Olivenhain Road and El Camino Real to four lanes within the first phase of the project. The requested revision is to simply delete the phrase “along its present alignment” from the condition. The condition would read: “Olivenhain Road shall be improved to a four lane interim from El Camino Real to Rancho Santa Fe Road, including any necessary offsite transition. The developer/owner may be eligible for partial reimbursement from adjacent property owners. A reimbursement agreement must be approved by the City prior to approval of the final map for this phase. ’’ Since no one else wished to speak on this item, Mayor Lewis closed the Public Hearing at 9:48 p.m. Mayor Lewis stated that the School Board dictates where a school site will be and the City has no control over that. He advised the citizens to take the issue of the school location to the School Board. Council determined that the project be conditioned to extend Street “A” to Olivenhain Road, with a right turn in and out at the intersection, with the configuration to be determined by the Engineering Department regarding grade, and the amendment be considered a minor adjustment subject to approval of the City Engineer; that crash gates be installed at the end of El Bosque and Corte Carolina; with the provision that the streets will be opened when Calle Barcelona is built from El Camino Real to Rancho Santa Fe to four full lanes; provided such opening is preceded by public notice and hearing. Council approved inclusion of a condition stating the zone changes and the Arroyo La Costa Master Plan are approved on the condition that the developer form an assessment district, Mello-Roos District or other financing mechanism to fund the Rancho Santa Fe Road improvement; and Council also directed staff to condition the tentative map approval to provide that within 180 days from the date of the Arroyo La Costa tentative map approval, a financial guarantee acceptable to the City Council for construction of Rancho Santa Fe Road improvements will be provided. Unless the guarantee is approved by the City Council within the 180-day period, all processing on the Arroyo La Costa final map will cease until such time as it is approved. The time limit may be extended at the discretion of the City Council.
