the Public Participation Program, a 15 -member General Plan Advisory Committee be
appointed, to consist of one member each from the Parks, Recreation and Equestrian
Commission; the Transportation Commission; the Cultural Heritage Commission, the
Planing Commission and the Housing Advisory Committee and 10 members from the public,
including residents, and City business and property owners. The Report recommended
appointments be scheduled for January 19, 1999. It was further recommended a
Technical Advisory Committee be established consisting of representatives of the City and
various special districts that provide services to the community. The Report requested
confirmation of the General Plan Program approach and detailed scope of work as prepared
by the General plan consultant, Cotton/Beland Associates. The Report further requested

meetings, mostly to be conducted within the first four months of the study; it was anticipated

2. ADOPTION OF RESOLUTION DETERMINING CONSISTENCY OF ALTERNATE
ROADWAY ALIGNMENT STUDIES WITH THE GENERAL PLAN CIRCULATION
ELEMENT FOR NORTHWARD EXTENSION OF ALIPAZ STREET - CAMINO
CAPISTRANO, JUNIPERO SERRA AND OSO ROAD (SYCAMORE COMMONS
AND SILVERADO SENIOR LIVING) (820.20)
Applicant/Property ::wners:
(1) Sycamore Commons, c/o TMC San Juan, LLC, Attn: Michael Hall, Two Corporate
Plaza Drive, Suite 200, Newport Beach, CA 92660
(2) Silverado Senior Living, c/o Silverado Senior Living, Attn: Loren Shook, 11
Mareblu, Suite 200, Aliso Viejo, CA 92656
Written Communications:
Report dated December 15, 1998, from the Planning Director, advising that due to potential
significant impacts and loss of land to right-of-way dedication, the applicant for Sycamore
Commons had requested that alternate alignments for Camino Capistrano, Junipero Serra and
Oso Road be reviewed to determine compliance with the Circulation Element, specifically
addressing the connection between the freeway at Junipero Serra Road and the future
northward extension of Alipaz Street. The Report advised that the current Circulation
Element includes a connection between Junipero Serra Road on the east side of Trabuco
Creek, and Alipaz Street on the west side of Trabuco Creek, which would require
construction of a bridge across Trabuco Creek. The approved, but not constructed, Pueblo
Serra Planned Community provided for the realignment of Camino Capistrano westward,
which would provide space for the vertical elevation needed for Junipero Serra to cross the
City Council Minutes -7- 12/15/98
406
creek and the railroad line. The Report advised that at a joint meeting of the Planning
Commission and Transportation Commission, several alternate alignments had been
considered and subsequently ranked, based primarily on cost and aesthetics. Alternate B was
given first priority based on a cost of $8.7 million, the aesthetics of requiring only an at -grade
bridge over Trabuco Creek and use of the existing at -grade railroad crossing on Oso Road.
The cost of the remaining alternatives ranged from $64.3 million to $68.8 million. Each
would require an elevated structure to clear the railroad tracks and Trabuco Creek. Alternate
A would be a hybrid between the road alignment proposed for Pueblo Serra and the current
road alignment; it would require an elevation of the intersection of Camino Capistrano and
Jumpero Serra. To accommodate the elevation, 2:1 slopes up to 100 feet in width and 50 feet
in height would be required at all four corners of the intersection and the bridge approach;
the bridge would measure approximately 750 feet in length. Alternate C would be similar
to Alternate A, but differing in that the western end of the proposed bridge would be moved
northward; the bridge would measure approximately 610 feet. Alternate D would use two
bridges to cross the creek and the rail line and would require extensive use of manufactured
2:1 slopes.
Maps depicting the Alipaz Street Alignment Study Plan Alternates A -D were on display.
The Planning Director, made an oral presentation, indicating that this was an alignment study
only, to determine the most feasible alignment should the northward extension of connection
of Alipaz Street still be considered a necessary component of the Circulation Element the
General Plan update. He emphasized that the studies were not part of any project and staff
was not proposing any type of improvements. He provided a brief history of the alignment
study and costs associated with the proposed alternatives. The Engineering and Building
Director described the four alternate alignments in detail.
Council Comments:
Council Member Hart expressed concern with Alternate "B" and the railroad crossing on Gsu
Road, noting current problems with stacking, turn lanes, and traffic back up. Mr. Huber
responded that there would be adequate width on Camino Capistrano to provide the
necessary turning lanes, and the existing right-of-way on Oso Road would be adequate to
provide for an improved intersection.
Adoption of Resolution:
It was moved by Council Member Swerdlin, seconded by Council Member Hart, that the
following resolution be adopted:
RESOLUTION NO. 98-12-15-7, DETERMINING CONSISTENCY WITH
CIRCULATION ELEMENT FOR NORTHWARD EXTENSION OF ALIPAZ
STREET - CAMINO CAPISTRANO, JUNIPERO SERRA AND OSO ROAD (TMC

NOES: None
ABSENT: None
The Resolution approved a ranking of Alternative "B" (crossing Trabuco Creek at Oso

extension of Alipaz Street on the west side of Trabuco Creek
ENGINEERING AND BUILDING DIRECTOR
APPROVAL OF AN AMENDMENT TO SECTION 4-6.501 OF THE MUNICIPAL
CODE ENTITLED "SPEED LIMITS ESTABLISHED" 590.30
Written Communications:
Report dated December 15, 1998, from the Engineering and Building Director, advising that
State law requires that a survey report be prepared every five years to justify the
establishment and enforcement of speed limits on selected streets. The Report forwarded an
ordinance establishing revised speed limits and an Executive Summary of the recently -
completed traffic survey report.
William Huber, Engineering and Building Director, made an oral presentation, highlighting
recommendations for modifications to presently posted speed limits. Mr. Huber further
explained the requirements of the California Vehicle Code for posting of speed limits, noting
the limits must be based on the 85" percentile speed. He advised that speeds may be posted
lower if special circumstances can be justified. However, he advised that the courts may not
enforce limits posted 10 miles -per hour below the 85" percentile speed because that posting
may be viewed as a speed trap. The City Manager noted that the process is very inflexible
and the City is obligated to follow the State statutes.
Public Comments:
(1) Thomas Stetson, 26941 Highland Drive, stated that there were only four driveways
that had access directly onto Highland Drive, including his own driveway. He felt
Highland Drive was a dangerous road and described his experiences with dangerous
drivers. He asked that the City Council not increase the speed on Highland and
consider installing speed bumps to deter speeding. He felt there were special
circumstances that would justify the lower speed limit.

(2) Christine Steelman, 26881 Windsor Drive, also suggested installation of speed
bumps and stop signs. She stated that there are a lot of walkers and joggers who use
Highland Drive and also described her experiences on the road.
(3) Donna Jacks, 26941 Berkshire Lane, stated that she is a regular jogger in that area
and only half of the road has a defined sidewalk. She stated that raising the speed
limit would be very dangerous.
Council Comments:
Discussion ensued regarding the situation on Highland Drive. Mr. Huber advised that staff
would meet with the residents to review the situation regarding special circumstances and
report to Council in one month on whether modifications can be made to the recommended
speed limits.
Introduction of Ordinance:
The City Clerk read the title of the Ordinance next in order. Further reading of all
Ordinances had been waived earlier in the meeting. It was moved by Council Member
