HEATHERFIELD DRIVE RED ZONES The city Manager noted the report dated August 13, 1982, pre- pared by the Chief of Police entitled "Heatherfield Survey Results" which was handed out to Councilmembers. The Director of Public Works presented the staff report and recommendation as contained in his report dated August 1982. A short question-and-answer period followed. . As recommended in the staff report, it was moved by Kennedy, seconded by Greinke, to authorize staff to proceed with the red zoning of curbs adjacent to and between driveways along Heather- field Drive and Sandwood Place as shown on the subject drawing. Motion carried 4-0, Hoesterey absent. 74 Mayor Edgar noted he has received positive input from several residents on the direction to be taken. 3. CURB, GUTTER, AND SIDEWALK CONSTRUCTION (DOWNTOWN AREA) The Director of Public Works presented the staff report and recommendation. In response to the Mayor, the Director stated that the survey letter was sent only to those residents whose properties do not contain either curb/gutter or a curb only. A brief question-and-answer period followed. It was then moved by Edgar, seconded by Kennedy, to direct staff to prepare a cost estimate of installing curbs and gutters only (no sidewalks) on Second, "A", and Pasadena Streets, and if that cost is favorable, include same in the annual sidewalk contract. The Director of Public Works explained that curb/gutter work is usually contracted separately from sidewalk work due to the different skills involved; however, alcombination contract could be prepared. Following discussion as to whether to consider all properties or only those properties where a desire for improve- ment was indicated, Councilman Saltarelli suggested that staff conduct another survey and indicate that installation of curbs and gutters only is being considered at City expense, which would culminate positive responses, and then said work could be included in next year's capital improvement budget. The Direc- tor of Public Works responded that although this is an excellent suggestion, he would like to delay the second survey until some basic field work is done to determine what each individual resi- dence will involve, i.e., loss of "x" amount of shrubs, so that staff can provide residents with definitive answers. Following withdrawal of the motion, COuncil concurred that sub- ject survey as suggested by Councilman Saltarelli be conducted for those residences where curbs and gutters are needed in the downtown area, following completion of staff's engineering analysis. 92 CITY COUNCIL MINUTES Page 3, 8-16-82 VII. NEW BUSINESS 1. REQUEST FOR STREET DEDICATION WAIVER (17231E. Seventeenth St.) The Director of Public Works presented the staff report as con- tained in his memo dated August 10, 1982, and recommended that in the event Councilis desirous of proceeding with the widening of the northerly side of Seventeenth Street between the Costa Mesa (Newport) Freeway and Prospect Avenue north to its ultimate major arterial street width, that the request for street dedica- tion waiver be denied. It was moved by Greinke, seconded by Saltarelli, to grant the request for waiver of street dedication requirements from Manny's Coffee Shops. In response to Mayor Pro Tem Kennedy, the Director of Public Works stated that the traffic circulation study which has been budgeted for this fiscal year will be conducted throughout the City, including the undeveloped Irvine property, and it will confirm the need of whether these arterial streets need to be widened to their ultimate width or not. Secondly, the Director did not feel the City would lose any federal funding, which does not get involved with local right-of-way requirements. However, the City could lose funding in arterial highway financing pro- grams where we enjoy cooperative projects On a 50/50 basis with the County, by having to pay total right-of-way acquisition costs.
