12/5/89
written Communication:
Report dated December 5, 1989, from the Director of Public
Works, listing the current and recommended interim rates
by the Agency.
It was noted that the fees would affect both commercial
and residential developments and that 48 percent of the
costs are being borne by fees imposed on new developments.
Public Hearing:
Notice having been given as required by law, Mayor
Hausdorfer opened the Public Hearing, and the following
persons responded:
(1) Dick Spaulding, 31611 Sacarama Lane, and owner of 5
acres within the corridor area, felt that there
should be a reallocation of the fees to be more
closely in line with the impact of a particular
development to the project area (e.g. number of trips
per day generated) and that the allocations imposed
a hardship on non-residential properties.
(2) Phillip Weisberg, 31196 Via San Vicente, felt that
since commercial property generates much more profit
than residential property, the two should not be
levied at the same rate.
(3) Joan Scarantino, 27441 Ortega Highway, expressed
concerns regarding the potential impacts of the new
corridors and felt that many more car trips per day
would be generated by industrial development.
There being no further public input, the hearing was
declared closed.
Council Discussion:
Pursuant to the motion being made and seconded, Councilman
Bland stated he would not support the increase in fees
because he felt the traffic problems in South County would
not be solved by the construction of these corridors and
would only encourage more development. Mayor Hausdorfer
stated that the corridors would relieve present traffic
impacts, with costs to be offset by tolls. Councilman
Friess noted traffic impacts not only from Orange County,
but from San Diego and Los Angeles Counties as well.
