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.

8 Kelley Hicks suggested that the CAB members write their own
street standards report which would establish standards for
existing streets without requiring 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."

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.
