Brian Perry, Associate Civil Engineer and project manager, spoke regarding the retaining wall concept and cost implications, reviewed the alternatives, including full grading, and their possible landscaping, and reviewed recommendations made by the Planning Commission. Mr. Perry noted that the full grading alternative would be the most expensive and would be the only alternative that would encroach into a backyard. (Councilman Schwartze joined the meeting at this time.) The following persons asked to speak on this item: (1) Dale Kirstine, 31871 Paseo Monte Vista, spoke in opposition to the construction of a cribwall along Del Obispo because of the area's high visibility, a cribwall's usual lack of landscaping, and the problems of landscaping a cribwall. Mr. Kirstine preferred the stepped wall approach because of reduced maintenance, better potential for landscaping, and aesthetics. (2) Mary Jane Forster, Planning Commissioner, spoke regarding the Commission's opposition to the construction of cribwalls in the City and stated that San Juan Capistrano deserves a higher standard. She added that cribwalls are rarely found along major arterial highways and that usually higher -quality walls are used. (3) Thomas Hribar, 32172 Camino Capistrano, voiced his opposition to the construction of cribwalls and stated his preference for the stepped wall alternative design. He suggested that the widening of Del Obispo be implemented in two phases if funds were not available for the more expensive alternative. (4) Carlos Romer, owner of 3 1/2 acre property adjacent to Del Obispo Street and Calle Aspero, expressed -12- 5/16/89 concern regarding the construction of a solid wall due to potential graffiti problems, aesthetics, and maintenance. He felt that landscaping was of major concern and stated preference for the construction of a cribwall. (5) Norio Iwata, property owner along Del Obispo Street south of Camino del Avion, stated his preference for the construction of cribwalls. During Council discussion, the Council generally felt that a vote should be postponed in order to 1) obtain more information from experts regarding the landscaping and maintenance of cribwalls, 2) to address budget considerations, and 3) to consider other alternative designs. Councilman Buchheim asked that Mr. Romer's expertise in this area be sought and noted an attractive retaining wall along Pacific Coast Highway in South Laguna. Continuation of Item: It was moved by Councilman Schwartze, seconded by Councilman Bland, and unanimously carried that the item be continued for a period of 60 days to July 15, 1989, so as to obtain more information, consider other alternatives, and address budget considerations. It was noted that none of the funds in the account for this project would be in jeopardy because of the postponement of approval.

Mr. Murphy explained that due to "throw -away" construction because of the later rebuilding of the bridge, resultant high costs, and the necessity for reconstruction of the -13- 5/16/89 M channel walls, the construction of the bikeway should be deferred until the time of the Descanso Bridge rebuilding. Deferment of Project: It was moved by Councilman Schwartze, seconded by Councilman Buchheim, and unanimously carried that the Vereda Bikeway Camino Capistrano to Descanso Bridge project be deferred.
