5. ~ LANDSCAPE AND =~£K~r I/~]VEM~T PLAN
The Community Development Director presented the staff report and recom-
mendation, and introduced Dick Fisher, Manager of Landscape Architectural
Services, Berryman & Stephenson, Inc. Mr. Fisher presented a detailed
account of plans for landscaping and street improvements along E1 Camino
Real in the Old Town Tustin area. Agency concerns included careful study
of flowering trees which could be messy; planting low foliage on the
island at E1 Camlno Way for safety reasons; newsstands being a source of
paper accumulation; street crossings; and speed limit(s) in the area. Of
greatest Agency concern was the number of on-street parking spaces pro-
posed for elimination.
In response to Mr.'Saltarelli's suggestion that angle parking be utilized,
the Director of Public Works responded that angle parking would not pro-
vide additional parking spaces, and suggested staff could come back with
an exact area that can be parked with driveway clearances, etc., and get
an accurate count on how many spaces will be lost block by block. The
Director continued that if the Agency is concerned about losing parking
spaces, then the scope of the project will have to be withdrawn. In
response to the Chairman Pro Tem, the Director indicated the information
could be provided at the workshop scheduled on March 8.
In response to Mrs. Kennedy, the Director of Public Works stated that the
evaluation of the EIR on the Newport Town Center Project did indicate that
parking on Main Street would most likely be removed when the downtown area
is fully developed to accommodate the traffic flow.

by Edgar, seconded by Kennedy, that the concept be approved with the
stipulation that the trade-off between parking and beautification is to be

ing flowering trees. The maker agreed, but the second did not. Mr.
Saltarelli stated he could not support the motion.

tinue the matter to the joint Revelopment Agency/Council workshop to be
