WRITTEN COIOIUNICATIONS 1) Recommendations from Public Safety Commission concerning l) Paseo Presada driveway at 10005 Cox Ave. and 2) Argonaut Shopping Center exit onto Saratoga- Sunnyale Road Staff recommends~that the City Council approve the recommendations. City Engineer Perlin presented the staff report~ He noted this matter was referred to the Public Safety Commission as a result of discussion at a previous Council meeting. He noted the Public Safety Commission took public testimony and made the following recommendations to the City Council: 1. Expedite the installation of the traffic signal at Quito, cox and Baylor; 2. Maintain two exits from the property at 18805 Cox Ave.; 3. Off-street parking developed for E1 Quito Park; 4. Ask the Sheriff's Department to increase enforcement at the stop sign on Cox and Paseo Presada. City Engineer Perlin stated the Public Safety Commission feels it would be a good idea to remove the concrete median on Paseo Presada. He noted the median is not effective'and causes more problems.

Regarding the 1st recommendation, Mr. Perlin stated the Public Safety Commission is recommending that this be given priority in the City's upcoming Capital Improvement Plan, as the neighbors in the area have expressed concern. In response to Councilmember Kohler's question, regarding the removal of the concrete median, Mr. Perlin stated the Homeowners Associations in the area were notified. He noted Ms. Cathy McGoldrick did attend the Public Safety Commission meetings regarding this matter. Mayor Anderson expressed concern about the traffic study for the freeway done a few years ago, which is unsatisfactory. She noted there was a clause in the agreement, that if the traffic increased in areas, other than those identified, as a result of the freeway, the Traffic Authority would consider further mitigation. City Engineer Perlin stated the Traffic Authority re-analyzed traffic impacts as the result of deleting the proposed interchanges at Quito and Prospect Roads. They determined that at the intersection of Quito and Cox there would be a slight decrease in the level of service. As a result of this, the Traffic Authority indicated that they would be willing to participate in some form of mitigation for this intersection, but not a traffic signal. He noted they will develop the design for the traffic signal, but would not pay for this. Mayor Anderson stated she is not willing to make a decision based on a traffic study that was done in advance of the freeway opening. Mr. Peacock noted he will have to research the traffic study files. He stated given the City's financial situation, it would be a mistake to indicate that the City can expedite this matter at this time without identification of an adequate funding source. Councilmember Burger stated she is not prepared to approve any of the recommendations at this time. She feels more information is needed. She also noted that it is not a policy of the City to put parking · spaces on park property. She stated she would like a revised traffic study and more research. Councilmember Kohler stated he is not willing to approve any of the City Council Hindtee 4 Janual7 20, 1993 recommendations until the neighbors give some input.

Mr. Kenneth Johnson, Public Safety Commissioner, stated this issue grew out of a joint meeting with the City Council. He noted after researching this matter the Public Safety Commission came up with the recommendations, as outlined in the staff report. He stated the Bicycle Advisory Committee is the key element for obtaining funds that are available through Prop. 116 as well as other State and County funding. In response to Mayor Anderson's question, regarding this Committee, Mr. Johnson stated a member of the Public Safety Commission would chair the Committee and the other three members would be selected from the public. Councilmember Monia suggested contacting the bicycle shops within the City. Mr. Johnson noted he did involved two bicyclists in the discussions. Councilmember Kohler questioned the costs of the bicycle plan and the funding they may receive from the State. Mr. Johnson was unable to answer this question at this time. He noted there was $20 million available in 1990 for the entire State. Mr. Peacock stated a portion of the TDA fund was originally set up to deal with bicycle path funding. He stated these funds are competitive and the City must have revised plan and a Bicycle Advisory Committee in order to have eligibility to receive the new funds. He stated his concern with regulating parking is that, regardless of how parking is regulated, there is an inherent incompatibility between allowing someone to park their car in a bike lane regardless of the time of day. He stated if the bicyclist has the expectation that this is a bicycle lane, cars should not be parked in it. He stated in places where it is difficult to restrict parking, the Council may waht to consider bike routes.

She spoke in favor of the Public Safety Commission forming the Bicycle Advisory Committee. Councilmember Burger concurred with Councilmember Tucker regarding the Bicycle Advisory Committee. Mr. Peacock reiterated Councilmember Burger's comments, noting it is her view that the City Council should make the basic policy decision, that wherever parking is permitted on the street, there will not be bicycle lanes and the Public Safety Commission/Bicycle Advisory Committee should make specific recommendations as to where this should occur. Councilmember Monia stated the Bicycle Advisory Committee should not be restricted to existing Commission members. Mayor Anderson suggested a Planning Commissioner sit on the Committee. Councilmember Monia stated having the bicycle lanes safer for school children should be a priority. He feels the Public Safety Commission are on the right track and commended the Commissioners for the work they have done. Mr. Monia concurred with Councilmember Tucker regarding off-street bicycle paths.

City Engineer Perlin stated this Committee will meet on an as needed basis. He stated there are different types of bicyclists within the Community and feels they will have volunteers willing to serve on this committee. Mayor Anderson stated there needs to be some expertise on safety and planning on this committee and there should be reports back to the Commissions. City Manager Peacock stated if the City has a strong plan and it is in the circulation element, the technical side will be handled from the different needs of the constituents. He feels it is important to involve the Community and the other Commissions.

City Manager stated in looking at the work program for the Commission, he suggests that this be returned in April. City Council Minutes 8 Januar~ 20, 1993 Planner White presented the staff report dated January 20, 1993. He stated the program consists of two parts. The first part being a reduction in fee waiver section relating to inventory, resources and designated resources. The second portion relates to establishing an additional finding which would eliminate the necessity for a variance.~ Councilmember Tucker suggested that this go back to staff and the Planning commission as she has difficulty reducing fees given the current state of the State's budget and the ramifications this will have on the City. She would like the Planning Commission and staff to explore different options. Councilmember Burger concurred with Councilmember TUcker. She- suggested reduced Planning Commission jurisdiction over design review when considering designated historical structures. Mayor Anderson stated the fees are a minor part of the cost and time is more costly to people. She suggested a reduction in fees provided certain criteria were met that would enable the process to go through quickly, saving staff and Commission time. Councilmember Kohler stated that the criteria for designated historic landmarks are well established. He stated this is a critical part of the process. In response to Councilmember Tucker's question regarding notification of the neighbors, Mr. White stated the concept is not to require a variance, but the process will be almost identical. Planner White stated changing jurisdictions was not considered by the Heritage Preservation Commission and suggested that this and other options be discussed at the joint meeting. Mr. Peacock stated if a person's property is on the heritage list two commissions have to review any changes. He suggested finding a common ground or at least a limitation of Planning CommiSsion review that does not impact the planning process.
