I33 0 July 27, 1993 a Page 4 PUBLIC HEARINGS: (Continued) School Site Mayor Lewis stated he wanted Council to consider acquiring the entire school site area in the event the school district does not build a school there. City Attorney Ron Ball stated the developer has offered to dedicate additional land to the City for a parking area and northerly access to Carrillo Ranch if the school district does not obtain the site for a school. ACTION: By consensus, Council directed staff to obtain an option for the City to purchase the entire school site in the event the school district chooses not to acquire the site for a school. Access to Carrillo Ranch Park Site Staff presented a compromise plan for the rear (southern) entrance to the park, which would include approximately 90 parking spaces, room for buses and handicapped access in a centralized parking lot, and which would lead visitors from the parking area to enter the Ranch site over the bridge and past the caretaker’s cottage. Chris Chambers, of Continental Homes,. the applicant, distributed maps with two options for moving Carrillo Way further north. He explained that both options included impacts to Village J, due to the massive grading which would be required, and are not feasible due to the excessive costs. Mayor Pro Tem Stanton recommended that the new access street to the park be named Carrillo Way . Staff suggested that the portion of the street from Melrose to the park entrance could be a special design to emphasize the entrance to the park. Also, the signage for the Ranch will be placed at the entrance. ACTION: By consensus, Council directed staff to take the necessary action to name the proposed access street to the park Carrillo Way, to use a special entry treatment for that portion of the street from Melrose to the entrance of the park, and to place the signage for the park at the entrance.
