EL CAMINO REAL/MAIN ST. DECORATIVE BENCHES
RECOMMENDATION:
That the Tustin Community Redevelopment Agency, at their meeting of November 1,
1982, deny the request of Mrs. Boosey to delete the decorative bench from the
proposed location at 460 E1Camino Real..
BACKGROUND:
During the conceptual design phase of the subject project, the Agency members and
residents/businesspersons along E1Camino Real/Main St. reviewed the proposed
design plans for the project. At that time, the concept of additional benches and
their locations were approved by the Agency and agreed upon by the community
members.
DISCUSSION:
Staff has received a telephone call from Mrs. Boosey, 460 E1Camino Real,
regarding her concern about the location of the decorative bench that is proposed
in front of her residence. The proposed bench location is shown in yellow on the
attached sketch. Also shown is the existing tree and landscaped area {green) the
location of a proposed decorative trash receptacle (red), and other bench
locations and landscaped areas adjacent to Mrs. Boosey's residence.
Mrs. Boosey has indicated that this bench may attract people who may loiter in the
area and possibly cause a security problem to the residence and requests that the
bench be deleted from that location.
The bench installations include a concrete footing with anchor bolts to secure the
benches in place and reduce the potential of theft. As of this date, the footings
for this particular bench location have been installed.
This particular area is the location where the parkway was recently widened to a
width of 16 feet to save four existing large trees.
Staff does not feel that this bench will induce loitering or present a security
problem to Mrs. Boosey's residence.
