(619) 944-5060 Thursday, January 25, 1990 - 7:00 PM 1. CALL TO ORDER/ROLL CALL community Advisory Board Members Present: Peter Tobias, Tony Kauflin, Mark Steyaert, Adam Birnbaum Lee Rotsheck Community Advisory Members Absent: None Staff Members Present: 8 Tom Curriden, Associate Planner Matthew Newman, Planning Technician Ted Schade, Public Works Representative 2. PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE 3. SPECIAL PRESENTATIONS/ANNOUNCEMENTS Continuation of discussion from December 14, 1989 - Public Works presentation of revised recommended Old Encinitas Public Road Standards. Public Works Engineer Ted Schade presented the revised draft of the proposed Public Road Standards and requested further comments from the citizens and direction from the CAB. 4. ORAL COMMUNICATIONS CITIZENS COMMENTS Fifteen citizens responded in general opposition to standards which would require acquisition of additional Right-of-Way along local streets. Most speakers recommended the adoption of standards which would work within existing Right-of-Way and return any excess Right-of-Way to adjacent property owners. 8 Lindee Fairbrother suggested that Melrose could be changed to a south-bound I-way street to complement Neptune. This would permit parking on both sides of the street while not requiring the acquisition of additional Right-of-Way.

Nancy Tougaw was opposed to any widening of Cornish Drive. In addition, she said that Dewitt is already developed and should not be widened since there will be no increase in traffic in the future. Mary Renaker was opposed to wider streets because it would result in increased traffic speeds and the destruction of mature landscaping adjacent to the Right-of-Way. She said "leave streets slow and landscaping large." Greg Motter said that North Vulcan should be treated differently than Vulcan south of Encinitas Blvd. because the character of the street is different. Since it is identified as a Circulation Element Road, Mr. Motter fears that the street will be widened unnecessarily. Sally Cruver also stated that N. Vulcan should remain as is but she would support the construction of a sidewalk or trail along N. Vulcan provided that is was built on the west, railroad side of the street and additional Right-of-Way was acquired from the railroad. 8 OLD ENCINITAS COMMUNITY ADVISORY BOARD COMMENTS Tobias - Public Works Department should return to the CAB with revised street standards at the February 15, 1990 Old Encinitas CAB hearing. The revised proposed standards should include additional "special case" street standards such as: A) Standards for existing streets which are wider than the required 60 feet. These would include standards for a 70' and 80' Right-of-Way which is common in Downtown Old Encinitas. B) The Regal/Santa Fe Dr. intersection should be redesigned and widened to make the street safer for pedestrians. Right-of-Way should be acquired from the state (1-5 Right-of-Way). C) Community Advisory Boards should be granted the power to make exceptions to the adopted street standards. D) Nardo Road should be widened due to the added congestion caused by the San Dieguito High School. Required Right- of-Way should be acquired from the High School. E) "Road standards must be reviewed, and where no need for 8 road expansion is foreseen, the standard should reflect existing conditions and no IOD will be required." MN/04/CAB17-1652wp5 (3-20-90/4) 4 8 F) Return to CAB with more street standards options for existing 40' Right-of-Ways. One possibility would be to locate some of the above-ground utilities (telephone poles, fire hydrants, street signs) in on-street parking spaces and prohibit parking in these areas.
