PROJECT SUBMTTALS (INFORI4ATION REPORT) Councilman Edgar stated he has studied these plans very care- fully and was disturbed that they do not show Myford Road as a significantly better interchange, in terms of traffic movement, than Jamboree Road. The Director of Public Works clarified that these project submittals strictly pertain to the Santa Ana Free- way interchange properties.' He added that both Myford and Jamboree are presently on the Orange County Master Plan of Arterial Highways as major highways, and suggested that once the area has been totally reviewed through the traffic study to be conducted with the 2,000-acre Irvine Land study (once the need has been established), that Council can then determine exactly what size roadway is required, whether it be four lanes, six lanes, or two lanes. In response to Councilman Edgar's concern that the City be aware of the plan in terms of traffic movement, the Director of Public Works stated that this program is for 1983, which runs from 1983 to 1988, and any projects submitted by the Orange County Trans- portation Commission would probably not even commence or have funding for preliminary engineering until 1986-87. The Director continued that any specific plans for Myford will come to the City for review; that the City will be an element of approval for the plan; that the traffic study should be completed within a year which will provide solid background for any proposed modifications; and there will probably not be any action on any of the projects for at least two or three years. CITY COUNCIL MINUTES Page 5, 4-18-83 Mayer Pro Tem Kennedy noted that Browning was submitted as a higher priority, and Jamboree as a debatable point. The Direc- tor of Public Works reported that the present order of projects is how they fell out with all other projects within the County. At any time if the Council desires not to proceed with any project, it can be pulled. However, the Director recommended against doing so until there is a complete study. In response to Mayor Pro Tem Kennedy's concern on displacement within the Jamboree Road residential community, the Director clarified that there would be no residential displacement with the Jamboree Road interchange. The right-of-way for both Jamboree Road and the interchange area southerly of the freeway was reserved for a full four-movement interchange when the Laurelwood Townhome development was initiated and with the industrial development to the east. This was a condition of improvement for both developments at the City's request. The Jamboree Road proposal is for a partial interchange with only two movements. The best time to get the community involved would be once the City is certain its projects are on a State priority list (they may not even be in the 1988 timeframe) and once there is a date certain for same. Mayer Hoesterey expressed concern that a receive and file action might imply Council approval of these plans. Councilman Salta- relli reminded Councilmembers that when this matter was under debate several years ago, the Laurel wood people spoke against a full interchange. Consequently, Council requested staff to direct that plans on Jamboree bring in a very scaled down ver- sion of getting the industrial traffic off of Walnut, so people could get on and off the freeway and not have to go past the residents, which is what this plan does. The Director of Public Works stated that each of the three projects would help disperse some of the traffic off of the Redhill connection from the interchange southerly on Redhill, and would help keep some of - the traffic down on Walnut Avenue which is a big concern to residents that back up to same. In response to Mayer Hoesterey, the Director of Public Works reiterated that the reason Jamboree is shown going through to Moulton Parkway is because that is how the Master Plan of Arterial Highways within the County exists today. Mayer Pro Tem Kennedy questioned why the report on Jamboree shows Redhill serving as a major overflow rather than Myford. The Director of Public Works thought it might be that with full development of properties north of the freeway in both Tustin and Irvine, ultimate development of Myford as a six-lane highway · is going to be at full capacity, much as Redhill is today. Myford Road will probably be the most desirable road to travel because it will ultimately go south into Newport Beach and ulti- mately north into Orange or the 91-Riverside Freeway. Redhill Avenue terminates just south of the Airport and northerly at the Foothills, so it really doesn't go anywhere, and will be just an overflow for local traffic. In response to Councilman Edgar, the Director of Public Works stated that he has been involved in the preparation of these reports. Councilman Edgar stated there may be logic in Myford Road being an eight-lane highway so that it can have the traffic-carrying capacity without diverting it to other reads. The Director stated the City is currently working with the County to get their eastern corridor study initiated, and it's very conceivable that Myford Road could end up being the eastern corridor for an eight-lane freeway system directly to the 91 Freeway. It was then moved by Edgar, seconded by Kennedy, that Council concerns be recorded in the minutes. Carried 4-0, Greinke absent. 54 CITY COUNCIL MINUTES Page 6, 4-18-83 3. BULLET TRAIN ORAL REPORT The City Manager reported that Ma3~r Hoestery will testify on the City's behalf at the April 22 meeting of the Assembly Trans- portation Committee to be held in the Santa Ana Civic Center. Following that, the Mayor will appear on a panel, to be taped for Channel 50, consisting of American High Speed Rail Corpora- tion President Mr. Gil son, Assembl~an Young, and Mr. Bondi. The City Manager stated that of major significance, Councilman Greinke was successful in obtaining the State League Transporta- tion Committee's support of SB 704 as amended by the City. It will now go to the League's full board of Directors, and if approved, signifies that California cities agree with Tustin's position on the matter. Also, a 1 etter from the Mayor was sent to the State Office of Planning & Research last week setting forth Tustin's position that the Public Utilities Commission should be the lead agency, and pointing out arguments developed by the City Attorney relative to the difference between an EIR and environmental studies. That letter was also sent to and discussed with the Governor's Office of Local Government Affairs, so they are aware of the issue. He added that the City's environmental consultant is developing some very preliminary information on noise and visual impacts which will be presented at the hearing by the Mayor; staff will continue to track committee meetings and monitor whatever acti- vities occur; and staff expects to have the consultant at the next Council meeting to provide a briefing on what they have found to date and what they're going to be doing over the next few months. Bill Robbins, Tustin Meadows Homeowners Association, Bullet Train Committee Chairman, also reported on activities of the committee and stated he will continue to keep Council informed of same. 101 XII.
