Mr. Fleagle presented the staff report and recommended approval to the ~ty Council by the adoption of Resolution No. 1478. The public hearing was opened at 8:40 p.m. Col. L. T. Erickson, E1 Toro Marine Base, informed the Commission that ~hey would be happy if they can maintain what they have at MCAS (H) in relation to the tremendous growth in the Tustin, Irvine area and the future of the helicopter base. Col. Erickson also added that the Marine Corps is primarily interested in safety. Col. Erickson added that the Moulton flats area is the last area the Marines have for a "heavy lift" area and that an overpass over the air base would close down the helicopter operation. The Marine Corps has made concessions to developers and cities over the years, and the Marine helicopters were then flying directly over what is now Tustin Meadows. Col. Erickson further stated that there is no way the Marine Corps would go along with an overpass in an effort to connect the proposed Jamboree Road with the proposed Moulton Parkway. To do so would mean cutting through a portion of the air base and they have already been restricted on all four sides of the base. He further stated that they would take no exception to the at-grade interconnection between Dow Avenue and Moulton Parkway as long as it did not infringe upon the land area of the MCAS (H). The public portion of the hearing was closed at 8:50 p.m. After some discussion it was moved by Shambeck, seconded by Hill, for approval of the amendment by the adoption of Resolution No. 1478 and 2(3)b to read: with temporary connection to existing Myford Road.
