Mr. Fisher presented a detailed account of plans for landscaping and street improvements along E1 Camino Real in the 01d Town Tustin area. Agency concerns included careful study of flowering trees which could be messy; planting low foliage on the island at E1 Camino Way for safety reasons; newsstands being a source of paper accumulation; street crossings; and speed limit(s) in the area. Of greatest Agency concern was the number of on-street parking spaces pro- posed for elimination. In response to Mr. Saltarelli's suggestion that angle perking be utilized, the Director of Public Works responded that angle parking would not pro- vide additional parking spaces, and suggested staff could come beck with an exact area that can be parked with driveway clearances, etc., and get an accurate count on how many spaces will be lost block by block. The Director continued that if the Agency is concerned about losing parking spaces, then the scope of the project will have to be withdrawn. In response to the Chairman Pro Tem, the Director indicated the information could be provided at the workshop scheduled on March 8. In response to Mrs. Kennedy, the Director of Public Works stated that the evaluation of the EIR on the Newport Town Center Project did indicate that parking on Main Street would most likely be removed when the downtown area is fully developed to accommodate the traffic flow. REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY MINUTES Page 2, 3-1-82 After further Agency/staff/architect discussion on the plan, it was moved by Edgar, seconded by Kennedy, that- the concept be approved with the stipulation that the trade-off between parking and beautification is to be finalized at a future meeting. Chairman Pro Tem Hoesterey requested that the motion be modified concern- ing flowering trees. The maker agreed, but the second did not. Mr. Saltarelli stated he could not support the motion.
