PUBLIC HEARINGS
1. ACCEPTANCE OF FOCUS ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT
Councilman Buchheim left the Council Chamber at 7:14 P.M.
due to a possible conflict of interest.
(44) Proposal:
(68) Adoption of a precise alignment for Junipero Serra Road
(83) west of the Interstate 5 Freeway to the future extension
of Alipaz Street in conjunction with the development of
the Pueblo Serra Planned Community and acceptance of the
focus Environmental Impact Report.
Applicant:
Thisis as City -initiated Public Hearing.
Written Communications:
(1) Report dated September 15, 1981, from the Director of
Community Planning and Development, forwarding the
recommendations of the Planning and Traffic and
Transportation Commissions that Alternate 9 be adopted
as the precise road alignment.
(2) Letter dated September 11, 1981, from Myron Smith,
P. O. Box 936, San Juan Capistrano, requesting that a
precise alignment be held in abeyance until the
Las Colinas road study is complete; or, that the
portion west of the railroad tracks be deleted.
Councilman Bland arrived at 7:30 P.M. and assumed his duties.
Notice having been given as required by law, Mayor Schwartze
opened the Public Hearing and the following persons responded:
(1) Fred Estrada, 501 East Katella, Orange, representing
the Juaneno Indian Band, requested that the project be
subject to further archaeological reports due to
recent location of archaeological sites. Mr. Estrada
also requested that a Juaneno Band Member or survey
team member be on site whenever further digs are
undertaken.
(2) Don Hanna, 30161 Branding Iron Road, representing
the Pueblo Serra Planned Community, stated that no
evidence had been discovered to date to indicate the
existence of a permanent Indian settlement on the
property, and commended Mr. Merrell for the presentation,
and stated the developer's preference for approval of
Alignment 7.
(3) Bill Bathgate, 29643 Camino Capistrano, recommended
that the areas westerly of the railroad tracks in
the vicinity of the creek and the easterly portion of
the proposed alignments receive additional study to
assure flexibility of future development.
(4) Pat Douglas, 21775 Via Belardes, stated that Alipaz
Street was downgraded to a 4 -lane roadway in November,
1977, and requested that any approved alignment not
cause increased street traffic onto or intersecting
Alipaz Street.
-3- 9/15/81
(5) Edith Banning, 26466 Calle Rio Vista, cited concerns
with traffic safety and presented a petition signed
by 35 residents of the Rio Vista development urging
the reconsideration of the proposed extension of Alipaz
since ". . . traffic resulting from this extension
would create a serious hazard in our residential
community which is made up mostly of young families
with children." Mrs. Banning requested that, if
Alipaz is extended, right turns not be permitted into
Calle Rio Vista and that a "No Left Turn" sign be
installed at Via Belardes and Paseo Belardes.
There being no further response, Mayor Schwartze declared
the Public Hearing closed.
Acceptance of Focus Environmental Impact Report:
It was moved by Councilman Hausdorfer, seconded by
Councilman Friess and unanimously carried with Councilman
Buchheim absent that the focus EIR for the precise
alignment of Junipero Serra Road be accepted as complete
and adequate. Council noted that the EIR addresses
archaeological concerns and that the new findings will
be considered through existing City controls.
Council Discussion:
Mayor Schwartze cited an inter -relationship between the
Junipero Serra alignment study and future alignments to
the north and suggested that a portion of the alignment
be approved to allow the Peublo Serra project to proceed
without impacting future circulation possibilities, i.e.,
approval of an alignment for some distance to the west
while leaving options open for a precise alignment as
development projects are processed. Councilman Hausdorfer
suggested that Alignment 7 produces more options than 9
and that a decision should entail only the area up to the
railroad tracks. Councilman Friess concurred and suggested
that the alignment stop at either the existing Camino
Capistrano or at the railroad tracks pending future
development.
Councilman Bland noted his support for Alternate 9 as
having less impact on aesthetics and major constraints in
considering extension of the roadway and concurred in
approval of an alignment that would allow the Pueblo Serra
project to proceed.
Approval of Junipero Serra Road Alignment:
It was moved by Councilman Hausdorfer and seconded by
Councilman Friess that the following Resolution be adopted
approving an alignment of Junipero Serra Road approximately
as designated by Alternate No. 7 terminating at the westerly
right-of-way line of the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railway
property; any further extensions of the roadway are to be
determined by development and circulation needs and the
alignments of Camino Capistrano and the Las Colinas de
Capistrano roadways:
