The Director reported that the five-year program outlined one cooperative project with the County through AHFP funding. The City will have a project in the next year or so which will probably be referred to as the widening of Red Hill/walnut Avenue adjacent to the Nisson property.

RESOLUTION NO. 81-140 - A Resolution of the Council of the City of Tustin REQUESTING THE COUNTY OF ORANGE TO INCLUDE WITHIN THE ARTERIAL HIGHWAY FINANCING PROGRAM THE DEVELOPMENT OF VALENCIA AVENUE FROM RED HILL AVENUE TO THE NEWPORT FREEWAY Carried 5-0. 86 Consent Caledar Item 15 - Councilman Edgar stated his preference to list Myford Road as second priority rather than Jamboree Boulevard, and expressed concern over traffic movements on and off the free- way. The Director of Public Works stated that the Myford Road interchange is being submitted by Irvine wherein 75% of that inter- 9hange is located within Irvine city limits. The Director provided background information pertaining to interchange movements at the Jamboree Road project. Council concerns were expressed regarding diverting traffic from the industrial district around residential areas; acknowledging/reaf- firming Irvine's submittal of Myford Road as a priority; grading and banking of the ramps; noise attenuation walls; and elimination of the northbond Jamboree ramp by encouraging use of the Myford cloverleaf for northbound traffic. The Director of Public Works stated that staff is requesting Council's confirmation of priorities only, which has nothing to do with design, type, etc. The City's projects will be competing with between 50-60 other projects being submitted by Orange County cities which will then compete with statewide projects. By submitting the projects, the City is letting CalTrans know our concerns. Previously, the City submitted three projects, one of which made the CalTrans program and is currently being reviewed and worked on - the I-5/55 Interchange modifications. Councilpersons Hoesterey and Kennedy expressed concern about devel- opment of Jamboree Road (i.e., design, levels of traffic, the possi- bility of at-grade exit ramps, and eliminating the overpass at Jamboree) which was the only portion of the staff recommendation of concern.

CITY COUNCIL MINUTES Page 5, 12-21-81 Councilmen Saltarelli and Hoesterey expressed apprehension about setting a precedent. Council discussion followed. The substitute motion by Kennedy to table the matter and look into how drop boxes will affect private property, parking lots, etc., died for lack of a second. The Community Development Director reported that there are cur- rently four drop box requests which would be subject to Use Permit review if they were designed as a drive-up service. At this point they are designed as a walk-up facility within a par- ticular business center, and staff's reaction is that it is a service being provided as part of the business center. A substitute motion was made by Hoesterey, seconded by Salta- relli, to not allow any drop boxes in the public right-of-way and to let the issue die. Carried 5-0. Council concurred to have staff look into the matter of drop box services in comparison with other service-type boxes (i.e., Good- will Industries) that are permitted on various private proper- ties. 81 4.
