4. EL CAMINO REAL/MAIN STREET IMPROVEMENTS - PROPOSED DESIGN CHANGE FROM
APPROVED PLANS DUE TO FOUR LARGE TREES
The Director of Public Works presented the staff report and recommenda-
tion, and clarified the written report dated September 21, 1982, prepared
by the Assistant City Engineer. Mr. Saltarelli suggested moving the curbs
out on the east side of the street to accommodate the trees, and moving
the curbs in on the west side to maintain the street width, whereby the
street would have a slight curve but loss of parking spaces would be
eliminated. The Director of Public Works indicated this would be feasible
geometrically and traffic-safety wise, but staff would need to survey any
impact on trees on the easterly side of the street.
It was then moved by Hoestere~, seconded by Kennedy, to approve Alternate
"B" - Authorize realignment of the new curb around four camphor trees to
24' from centerline and deletion of six parking spaces per Exhibit "A".
Chairman Pro Tem Kennedy expressed her appreciation for the alternatives
provided by staff on the matter. Following Agency/staff discussion, a
substitute motion was made by Edgar, seconded by Greinke, to investigate
the feasibility of Mr. Saltarelli's suggestion to realign the street with
no loss of trees; and if not feasible, to proceed with Alternate "B". The
Director suggested that if it's feasible to realign the street, that staff
contact the affected people on the easterly side, and allow them the
opportunity to review a plan and provide input before proceeding.
The motion carried 5-0.
Una Boosey, OWner of property at 460 E1 Camino Real, received clarifica-
tion on the Agency's action.
5. STATUS REPORT - EL CAMINO REAL/MAIN STREET IMPROVEMENTS
The Director of Public Works indicated that since preparation of the
report dated September 21, 1982, staff has reviewed the project to deter-
mine how to bring it closer to the December 4 completion date as origi-
nally planned. He stated staff has considered allowing the contractor to

accelerate Phase III (westerly half of E1 Camino Real between Newport and
Main), and noted that normally the contractor would not be allowed to com-
mence Phase III until the northerly portion of Phase II has been totally
completed. However, staff feels that by doing so, 2-1/2 to 3 weeks could
be gained on the overall contract completion date. It was then mDved
Edgar, seconded by Saltarelli, that Phase III be accelerated, but to
communicate with all businesses to ensure it is acceptable to them.
Agency/staff discussion followed. The motion carried 5-0. 95
6. OTHER BUSINESS
