Planning Commission Resolution 1014 recommending a General Plan change to designate Santa Clara east of Santa Anita as a collector street and Third Avenue as extended north to Santa Clara Street. The Commission prepared a Negative Declaration for this project. It was noted in the staff report that Santa Clara Street has been designated as a collector street in the City's select system since 1964. The recommended designation of this Street would provide for consistency between the General Plan and the select system of streets and the recommended designation for the extension of Third Avenue would facilitate its extension should such extension be pursued by the City.

AYES: NOES: ABSENT: Council Members Lauber, Margett, Parry, Saelid None Council Member Gilb I ilEARING (TRAFFIC CONTROL ISLANDS) llARRIERS APPROVED This hearing was scheduled to determine the need of traffic control islands at the Victoria and Balboa intersections which would reduce or eliminate 3600 thrill-type turning maneuvers. Similar intersections within the City were listed in the staff report dated November 15. Drawings which were previously submitted for concept purposes only would also apply to the similar intersections. + )3<21 Mayor Saelid declared the hearing open and the following persons spoke concerning this. Robert O. Bartley, 506 S. Old Ranch Road, spoke at length of the three suggestions which had been made by staff and advised that the Santa Anita Village Association had reviewed the plans and felt Plan 3 would help in eliminating the practice of reckless exhibition driving and high rate of speed on Old Ranch Road north from Huntington Drive. Projecturals were shown and Mr. Bartley indicated the problem spots and felt islands at the Victoria and Balboa intersections would help. Also the intersection at Coronado is dangerous. He asked the City Council for assistance and perhaps have another study made of the speed of the traffic. Ann Kronenbitter, 405 S. Old Ranch Road, also spoke of the speed and asked the City Council to assist in slowing down the traffic. Larry Kent, 604 S. Old Ranch Road, supported the remarks made by Mr. Bartley. He would support a suggestion that barriers be placed on a temporary basis if there were a guarantee that they would become permanent, but could not support the idea if they were similar to those at Hugo Reid and Golden West. He was not sure he could support that. Robert Kronenbitter, 405 S. Old Ranch Road, spoke to the speed of the traffic and the possibility of fatalities. Robert Kelly, 512 S. Old Ranch Road, supported the thought of barriers and suggested stop signs at Old Ranch Road at Balboa and one for traffic going south on Victoria going toward Huntington Drive. He also spoke of areas where there are no lights. I Marcus Otto, 615 S. Old Ranch Road, said the violations are committed by both young and old and felt barriers would help and noted that children leave the school bus at his corner location and the danger of the situation is paramount because about 50 percent of the cars do not stop at the Balboa stop sign. Tony Henrich, 431 N. Altura Road, then introduced the following members of his Webelos troup who spoke to their individual viewpoints on the problem.

Old Ranch Road 431 N. Altura Road James Glass, 706 S. Old Ranch Road, spoke at length about the problem and was in agreement about the danger due to the speeding which starts from Huntington Drive going north on Old Ranch Road. He was opposed to the erection of barriers.. felt they would not slow down the traffic..that the problem was not the so-called donuts but the speed. He noted the absence of sidewalks and inadequate lighting. He hoped to see sidewalks someday. No one else desiring to be heard the hearing was CLOSED on MOTION by Council Member Margett, seconded by Council Member Parry and carried unanimously. Council deliberated at length and submitted the unanimous position that something must be done now to help the situation; favored barriers if only on a temporary basis to ascertain their effectiveness and a stop sign going north on Old Ranch Road at the most advantageous location. The possibility of sidewalk construction and improved lighting was also explored. It was MOVED by Council Member Margett, seconded by Council Member Lauber and carried on roll call vote as follows that an evaluation be made to ascertain whether or not the property owners in the subject area would like the construction of sidewalks; an evaluation of the lighting situation; that temporary illuminated barriers be constructed at Old Ranch Road at the Victoria and Balboa intersections; that a stop sign be erected at a location to be determined by the Director of Public Works and large stop signs to replace the existing ones.

Staff asked for a continuation in order to submit a more comprehensive report and recommendation. Mayor Saelid declared the hearing open. No one desired to speak at this time and the matter will be carried over until December 6. The Planning Commission recommended approval of Tract No. 33902 I which would create a 32 unit condominium at 1135-1155 Arcadia Avenue, subject to all conditions in the staff report. It is consistent with the existing zoning and the General Plan. During this consideration the developer, Sam Falzone, answered questions concerning the type of condominium he is constructing. He said in part that he has three floor plans with from 1550 to 1800 sq. ft. per unit. It was MOVED by Council Member Margett, seconded by Council Member Lauber and carried unanimously that the Council approve .and file the Negative Declaration, find that the project will not have a significant effect on the environment; that it is consistent with the General Plan and that the waste discharge from the tract would not result in a violation of the existing requirements set forth in the Water Code; that the Director of Public Works be authorized to approve subdivision agreement and that the tentative map be approved subject to all conditions.

Herb Fletcher, 175 W. Lemon Avenue, suggested that Council give consideration to acting as host city for the athletes who will be coming to Los Angeles to perform the Olympics in 1984. The athletes he has in mind would be those from the countries of Greece and Australia inasmuch as the City has Sister Cities in both countries.. that perhaps housing could be offered also. Council received the communication from Warren Siecke, Consulting Engineer for the traffic signal improvement between Holly and Michillinda. Originally Mr. Siecke proposed modification of the existing Singer controllers and interfacing with the proposed Multisonic system. Fro~ the letter it appears that optimum results can only be obtained by replacing the existing equipment. This would cost approximately $32,000 which would be an additional 10 percent over the estimated cost. Staff recommended authorization. It was MOVED by Council Member Parry, seconded by Council Member Margett and carried on roll call vote as follows that Mr. Siecke be AUTHORIZED to complete the plans and specifications incorporating the changes suggested in his communication.
