CITY COUNCIL MINUTES Page 3, 11-17-86 Councilwoman Kennedy expressed her support on the assumption that the consulting Traffic Engineer met the legal requirements of the State of California or he would not have recommended the stop sig~ installa- tion. The motion carried 5-0. 94 Comee~t Caleedar Item No. 11 - Tusttn Ranch Road/Santa Aha Fmeway I~errJten~je - Councilwoman Kennedy stated she does not feel there is proper mitigation in today's technology of freeway building to protect the residential area abutting the interchange. She inquired what miti- gation levels staff will request from CalTrens when the design consul- tant is chosen. The Director of Public Works clarified that subject interchange is isolated from the freeway widening project', and all mitigating noise attenuation is the City's responsibility. It will be a locally-funded interchange, not CalTrens-funded. As the environmental document is reviewed and the design proceeds, the matter will be brought back to Council, and any concerns can be raised at that time. The Irvine Company wlll still assist with mitigations such as planting early, building walls, etc. Th~ Director provided a timetable, stating construction would start in late 1988. The plan is to complete design of Tustin Ranch Road, and construct harming and/or sound walls, and landscaping for exposure to the Laurelwood development. Mayor Salta- relli noted that the City passed the bond issue to finance the project and can go beyond adequate mitigations if desired. Councilmen Edgar stated that Council will be reviewing the environ- mental document and conduct a public hearing on the matter in March, 1987. That will be the appropriate time for Council to discuss project details and specifics. The Oirector stated the key issue is to coordi- nate this project with the I-5 widening projec~ which will follow shortly thereafter. Hopefully, it will set the pace for the freeway widening project within Tustin. It was then moved by Saltarelli, seconded by Edgar, to approve the following: 11.

THE CITY OF llISTIN - RESOLUTION NO. 86-137 As recommended in the lnter-com dated November 12, 1986, prepared by the Public Works Department/Engineering Division, it was moved by Kennedy, seconded by Kelly, to adopt the following: RESOLUTIO# NO. 86-137 - A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF TUSTIN, CALIFORNIA, ASSUMING FROM THE COUNTY OF ORANGE STREET LIGHTING DISTRICT THOSE STREET LIGHTS LOCATED WITHIN THE CITY OF TUSTIN; AND THE ACCEPTANCE OF THE DIRECT TRANSFER FROM THE COUNTY OF ORANGE ALL PROPERTY TAX REVENUES ASSOCIATED WITH SAID STREET LIGHTS AS PRESCRIBEO BY SECTION 99 OF THE REVENUE AND TAXA- TION CODE XIo CITY COUNCIL MINUT£S Page S, 11-17-86 The Director of Public Works responded to Councilman Edga~ that staff does have a tabulation on a map which shows areas which are not within the City's lighting district.

The mutlon carried 5-0. 63 Mayor Saltarelll extended thanks to Ken Scattargood, who is now in charge of the County Lighting Districts, and served for'many ~esrs as Assistant Director of the Local Agency Formation Commission. £S~TA~LXSHIWG A D~H FO(~ A WORIC.~HOP RE~I~ ¢I~ LI~ILITY IWSUR- Following Council/staff discussion, Council concurred to conduct a workshop regarding City liability insurance on Monday, December 1, 1986, at 5:30 p.m. in the City Hall Conference Room. 59 Councilwoman Kennedy expressed concer~ that the Planning Commission Minutes of October 27, 1986, mention several times that Council relaxed requirements on sidewalk width from 8 feet to 5 feet. The Otre ctor of Public Works responded that two previous requests by developers for reduced parkway width have been approved by Coun- cil. He explained that the 8-foot width is standard for secondary and primary arterial highways, and Walnut is a primary arterial highway. When the industrial area was first' developed in the early 1970's, the intent was to have as much landscaping for setback, and the standard industrial requirements did not require sidewalks. Sinc~ then, many industrial uses have generated employees who either walk or ride the transit system to work. A few years ago, the Planning Co~lssion requested that an assessment district be initiated for sidewalks throughout the entire industrial develop- merit. It is a substantiated need because the area is not strictly industrial. In addition, many p~ople walk to restaurants or sand- wich shops at the noon hour. The Director stated that sidewalks are a valid need for traffic safety, and staff feels 5 feet is ade- quate for the amount of traffic to be generated. It was then moved by Edgar, seconded by Kelly, to ratify the entire Planning Co~ission Action Agenda of November 10, lgB6. The motion carried 5-0. ~ INIIESTNENT SOIEI)UI.E AS ~F OCTOBER 31, 1986 It was moved by Saltarelli~ seconded by Hoesterey, to receive and file subject report dated November 12, 1986, prepared by the Finance Department.

CITY COUNCIL MINUTES Page 7, 11-17-86 13. ,)OHM t~llllE AIRPORT - IDISE POLLUTIOM Councilman Kelly requested Council indulgence to reconsider sending another letter to the County Health Department to again request that the sound monitoring stations be moved toward the southeastern section of town to detect helicopter noise pollution in that area. He stated that the units are mobile, and they should be moved because they've been at the same location for such a long time and haven't detected any violations. He recalled that Councilman Edgar mentioned that all documentation he's received, shows there's been no violation of the db regulations. Councilman Kelly stated that if Council experienced the noise pollution firsthand, they would be more sympathetic to his request. He stated he could specify when noise violations occur in impacted areas downtown. He added that he has been in these areas where people with inexpensive, unsophisticated noise monitors have detected violations from military*aircraft .and commercial jets. Councll/staff discussion followed. Councilman Edgar suggested that the City contract with a consultant or obtain its own equipment to monitor sound levels and record same at specific locations. It was noted that the Cities of Fullerton and Costa Mesa have obtained their own sound monitoring equipment. Councilwoman Kennedy concurred with Councilman Edgar's suggestion. However, she assumed that the Federal Government would not fall under any other agencies' sound standards and the City would not have any control there. Nonetheless, she added that commercial jets were taking off over Tustin as late as 1:00 a.m. last Satur- day. The City should be able to obtain compliance at John Wayne Airport during the restrictive houri of 11:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m. She felt it appropriate that the Mayor send a letter in this regard. The Mayor indicated he and the City Manager would look into both matters and report back to Council. 10! XIII.
