ORAL ACOMMUNICATIONS
Gillian Cannon 26467, Calle San Luis, felt there were discrepancies between the resolution
regulating vendor parking and what had been agreed upon. She requested the resolution be _
amended to correct the problems that have been encountered. She further urged the City
Attorney to give priority to the push cart regulations being developed.
Ilse Byrnes, P. 0. Box 1029, presented a copy of a letter to Supervisor Marian Bergeson
dated June 24, 1996, wherein she urged that the County's Harbors, Beaches and Parks
agency be re-established as a Special District rather than placed under the control of the
Public Works Department, as proposed by the County's Chief Executive Officer. She
requested the City Council forward to Supervisor Bergeson, a letter supporting establishment
of the Harbors, Beaches and Parks as a separate entity.
Council Member Swerdlin advised that a letter would be prepared; Council Member Jones
suggested Mrs. Byrnes contact the surrounding cities for similar support.
Ira Zimmerman, P.E., 31512 Calle La Purisima, noted that the July 1 st edition of the NBC

Studios on use of their cartoon characters to help, rather than make fun of, speech impaired
children. He presented a letter dated July 16, 1996, outlining his efforts to date and a video
of the July 1, 1996, NBC Nightly News story.

PUBLIC HEARINGS
Proposal.
Consideration of a request by Taylor Woodrow Homes, Inc., to revise the Composite
Development Plan for Area D-2 of the Glendale Federal Planned Community. The applicant
proposed (1) newly -designed single-family residences in place of the previously -approved
single-family residences; (2) a reduction in side yard setbacks from 10 feet on each side to 5
feet on one side and 10 feet on the other; and, (3) to pay park in -lieu fees in place of
providing active recreation facilities for a neighborhood park. The project is designated 1.3
(Medium -low Density Residential) on the General Plan Map and is located within the Planned
Development District (Comprehensive Development Plan 81-2), Glendale Federal Planned
Community Area D-2. The site is located approximately one mile southeast of the
intersection of La Novia Avenue and Via Entrada.

Taylor Woodrow Homes, Inc., Attention Alfredo Ayuyao, 24462 Ridge Route Drive, Laguna
Hills, California 92653.
Written Communication:
Report dated July 16, 1996, from the Planning Director, providing background information
and recommending approval of the proposed revisions and payment of park in -lieu fees. The
Report noted that the Specific Development Plan for the Glendale Federal Planned
Community did not specify side yard setbacks, which were to be established during review
of individual projects. The applicant was requesting a revision to the setbacks approved for
the original developer. On October 3, 1995, the City Council approved similar side yard
setbacks for all units located in Area D-1 of the Glendale Federal Planned Community.
Preliminary plot plans, elevations of the proposed single-family residences and preliminary
landscape plans were on display. C. J. Amstrup, Associate Planner, made an oral
presentation, advising that in 1989 the City Council had approved the Composite
Development Plan for Areas D-1 and D-2 of the Glendale Federal Planned Community, which
included the requirement for a 3.9 -acre park with active recreation facilities. Due to site
accessibility concerns at the private neighborhood park, the developer requested that the park
be developed as a passive facility with payment of fees equal to the cost of specific active
recreation facilities which could be installed at nearby public parks. Mr. Amstrup described

REPRESENTATION ON COMMLMTY ORGANIZATIONS. BOARD OF
DIRECTORS (610,30)
Written Communications:
(1) Report dated July 16, 1996, from the City Manager, noting that community
organizations occasionally request the City's involvement with their organization as
a Member of their Board of Directors, and setting forth the issues encountered when
staff members serve on the Board of Directors for a community organization. The
issues include the need for direction as to whether a City Council Member or a City
staff member should be designated to serve on a Board of Directors; whether such
involvement creates any conflict of interest or triggers Brown Act requirements; and,
whether such involvement in a group that receives funds from the City creates a
conflict of interest. The Report requested direction from the City Council.
(2) Letter dated June 15, 1996, from Alva Lefevre, President of the San Juan Community
Task Force, 31642 El Camino Real, San Juan Capistrano, supporting continued
participation of staff and Council members.
(3) Letter dated July 16, 1996, from Ken Friess, Friess Company Builders, Inc., 31726
Rancho Viejo Road, Suite 219, San Juan Capistrano, urging that City Council and
City staff involvement in community organizations not be curtailed.
The City Manager made an oral presentation, noting that should a City Council Member
represent the City as a member of a community board, those meetings would be subject to the
Brown Act; if a City staff members serves in that capacity the Brown Act would not apply.
He advised that a conflict of interest would not be created by either a Council Member or a
staff member serving on a Board of Directors, even when that organization requests funding
from the City Council.

the stop control and request increased enforcement when the school year begins.
(3) Letter dated July 9, 1996, from James Lowe, 31671 Via Madonna, in opposition to

increased enforcement to obtain driver compliance.
(4) Petition presented July 16, 1996, by Michael Sullivan, with approximately 150
signatures favoring retention of the stop signs at San Juan Creek Road and Calle
Cartagena.
The following written communications were submitted pertaining to both items:
(1) Letter dated July 12, 1996, from Helen Finney, 28851 Via Leona, in opposition to the
proposed removal of the stop signs on San Juan Creek Road at Avenida La Mancha
and at Calle Cartagena and urging enforcement of the stop controls.
(2) Letter dated July 16, 1996, from Roberta Libman, 31212 Via Limon, presented by Bill
Hutar at the meeting, in opposition to the retention of the stop signs on San Juan
Creek Road at Avenida La Mancha and at Calle Cartagena and suggesting the speed
limit be reduced from 35 miles per hour to 30 miles per hour.
Mr. Huber discussed the criteria used by staff to evaluate the intersections, which included
citizen concerns, driver compliance, the number of accidents, pedestrian activity and the gated
entryway at La Mancha. He emphasized that staffs role was to evaluate the stop signs against
State criteria, and noted that the two intersections did not meet the State warrants for stop
sign installation. Mr. Huber highlighted the Traffic Commission recommendations and
advised that staff was developing a policy regarding stop sign installation that would provide
more flexibility and address unique situations in the City.
Public Input:
The following persons addressed the City Council:
(1) Bill Hutar, 28911 Via Buena Vista, spoke in support of the staff recommendation to
remove the stop signs.
(2) Cheryl Spetrino, Principal of Ambuehl School, 13662 Fairmont Way, Tustin, 92780,
advised she had only been Principal for a week and would be unable to address how
the signs impacted the area; however, as an advocate for children, she felt the stop
signs at San Juan Creek Road and Calle Cartagena would result in a safer intersection
for both the crossing guard and the children.
(3) Bill Hutar, 28911 Via Buena Vista, spoke in behalf of Roberta Libman, 31212 Via
Limon and presented her letter dated July 16, 1996, in opposition to the retention of
City Cowoil Minolta

the stop signs on San Juan Creek Road at Avenida La Mancha and at Calle Cartagena.
' Mr. Hutar suggested considering alternatives to the stop signs, such as blinking lights
at Calle Cartagena which are activated when children are present and relocation of
the gated entry at Avenida La Mancha.
(4) Laurissa Franks, 28021 Paseo del Marino, a student at Ambuehl School, urged
retaining the stop signs at Calle Cartagena for the protection of the students.
(5) Debbie Franks, 28021 Paseo del Marino, took exception to using accident information
as justification for removal of stop signs, noting the numbers of pedestrians crossing
San Juan Creek Road to the school. She urged the stop signs at both intersections be
retained because she felt they worked in conjunction with each other.
(6) Charles Heffner, 28332 Via Fernando, expressed appreciation to Council for directing
installation of the signs. He spoke in support of retaining the stop signs and suggested
increased enforcement to increase their effectiveness.
(7) Donna Chandler, 28242 Paseo Andante, felt that the use of stop controls only during
school hours would not work since the crossing is used continuously. She felt that
the low accident rate and the issue of driver compliance should not be used as
justification for removal of the signs. She advised that a Deputy who had spoken at
an earlier Transportation Commission meeting on this issue had stated that his ability
to enforce speed limits was limited; his ability to enforce stop signs was not. She felt
the community was safer because of the signs at both intersections.
(8) Michael Sullivan, 28022 Calle San Remo, presented the petition in favor of retaining
the stop sign controls at Calle Cartagena. He concurred with past comments and felt
that commuter disregard is not a valid reason for removing the signs. He felt that the
petition submitted in opposition to the stop signs represented only a small percentage
of the neighborhood, while the petition in favor of the signs represented a large
percentage.
(9) Bill Reams, 31702 Via Madonna, spoke in support of retaining the signs at both
intersections, stating that traffic on San Juan Creek Road is increasing and the signs
were warranted.
(10) Jolan Chastney, 31672 Via Madonna, spoke in support of retaining the stop sign
control at Calle Cartagena, indicating that it made the school crossing much safer.
(11) Linda Guerrero, 31515 Sundance Drive, noted that she works as a crossing guard at
the Calle Cartagena intersection. She felt that the stop sign controls at both Avenida
La Mancha and Calle Cartagena worked together to create a safer environment for
her and the children she assists across San Juan Creek Road. She felt the stop signs
' at both intersections had also created a safer situation for children using the bike
paths.
City C.il Mi..t -11- 7/16/96

(12) Lisa Guerrero, 31515 Sundance, stated her concern for the safety of her mother as she
performed her crossing guard duties and urged retention of the stop sign controls at
both intersections.
Council Comments:
Council Member Campbell expressed appreciation to staff for the information they provided.
She indicated she would support retaining the stop sign controls at both intersections and
suggested increased enforcement. Council Member Swerdlin concurred that safety of the
children was the utmost importance. He clarified that staff used State guidelines in
formulating their recommendations; however, City guidelines were being developed that
would set forth policies for situations unique to San Juan Capistrano. Mayor Hart noted that
safety was the overriding issue, but cautioned that stop signs and crosswalks tended to lull
children into a false sense of security and would not eliminate the possibility of an accident.
Permanent Retention of All -Way Stop Sign at Avenida La Mancha:
It was moved by Council Member Campbell, seconded by Council Member Jones and
unanimously carried with Council Member Nash absent, that the "All -Way" stop signs at the
intersection of Avenida La Mancha and San Juan Creek Road be retained permanently.

It was moved by Council Member Jones, seconded by Council Member Swerdlin and
