Page 5 - Council Minutes 09/17/02 ORAL COMMUNICATIONS Diana Rude, representing Veterans of Foreign Wars, Post 2111, requested that Council recognize the upcoming POW/MIA day on Friday, September 20, 2002, by flying the POW flag at City Hall. She also furnished Council with personal invitations to attend the POW/MIA candlelight ceremony on Sunday, September 29, 2002. Martin Altbaum, representing Chula Vista Cable, stated that he was advised by City staff that he would not be granted a heating before Council until he meets with staff, for back room deals. He stated that he would not sign an agreement with the City that would make it more difficult to provide every local citizen with a ten dollar discount on their cable. Mr. Altbaum requested a full public hearing at Southwestern College, and he stated that if the City does not grant him a public hearing, then he will have to go to the ultimate authority. Councilmember Rindone asked when Council could anticipate receipt of the report from staff regarding Chula Vista Cable, which was requested at the Council meeting of September 10, 2002. City Manager Rowlands responded that a confidential report will be provided to Council on Thursday, September 19, 2002. Hans Busch, a resident on H Street, asked if the City would measure the traffic noise in front of his home. He also asked if the City would consider assisting those residents affected by the traffic noise, by providing them with double-paned windows. Mayor Horton referred the request to staff. Emilie Stone, a Chula Vista property owner, spoke regarding the H Street beautification project. She believed that the project's proposed five-foot sidewalk does not conform to the City's General Plan and design standards, and is inadequate to accommodate the current and future pedestrian traffic. She also expressed concern regarding the potential safety issues that could arise as a result of over-crowded walkways. She added that there is no uniformity for the proposed landscaping. Ms. Stone stated that many of the existing businesses in the area are dependent upon pedestrian traffic, and she requested that Council make a decision that would be in the best interest of the public. Mayor Horton referred the matter to staff. PUBLIC HEARINGS 12.

The Environmental Review Coordinator has concluded that the project is a Class 3(c) categorical exemption from environmental review (CEQA Section 15303, new construction of small structures). (Director of Planning & Building) Page 6 - Council Minutes 09/17/02 PUBLIC HEAR1NGS (Continued) Notice of the hearing was given in accordance with legal requirements, and the hearing was held on the date and at the time specified in the notice. Mayor Horton opened the public hearing. ACTION: Deputy Mayor moved to continue the item to the meeting of October 8, 2002. Councilmember Davis seconded the motion and it can'ied 5-0. ACTION ITEMS 13. CONSIDERATION OF ADOPTION OF RESOLUTIONS APPROVING AGREEMENTS FOR FINANCING AND CONSTRUCTION OF ROADWAY IMPROVEMENTS FOR TRAFFIC ENHANCEMENTS FOR THE TELEGRAPH CANYON ROAD AND THE EAST H STREET WIDENING PROJECTS The Eastern Chula Vista Traffic Enhancement Program was initiated last year to identify traffic capacity improvements that can be implemented in the near future to provide congestion relief on arterial roadways within Chula Vista. A total of six enhancement projects were identified and two were chosen to be fast tracked due to their ability to be constructed in a short time frame. These two projects are the north side widening of East H Street and the north side widening of Telegraph Canyon Road east of 1-805. Both of these projects have recently completed the environmental document public review period. An agreement for financing and constructing each of these roadway improvement projects must be approved by the City Council. (Director of Public Works) Senior Civil Engineer Rivera presented the proposed traffic enhancements for the Telegraph Canyon Road and East H Street widening projects. Environmental Project Manager Hellman presented the Environmental Review report for Telegraph Canyon Road. The City's traffic consultant, John Boreman, reported on the traffic studies for the proposed improvement projects. James Bogart, a Terra Nova neighborhood resident, spoke regarding the proposed East H Street widening project, stating that at a recent community meeting, the residents had requested staff to provide them with specific information on the proposed project, but to-date, they have received no information. He expressed concern that the project will not be completed in conjunction with the proposed improvements by CalTrans, thereby creating a two-year delay that he believed would produce increased pollution, congestion, and traffic accidents. He asked Council not to approve the project but rather to place the project on a waiting list; open all of Olympic Parkway; open SR-125; stop working on L Street, and let the State build their section of the east H Street onramp, prior to construction of this project. Thomas Tomlinson, representing Terra Nova resident Teri Zendejas, believed that an additional lane would not resolve traffic congestion in the area, since he discerned the main problem to be the interstate 805 on-ramp, where motorists have to queue in the right lane in order to enter the freeway. He added that the proposed lane addition would also create a greater hazard for children having to cross a wider street from Terra Nova Center. Page 7 - Council Minutes 09/17/02 ACTION ITEMS (Continued) A Terra Nova neighborhood visitor stated that she cannot sleep with her bedroom window open due to the current traffic noise. She expressed concerns regarding environmental health issues, and she asked that Council call a halt to the project. Mr. Baltz, a Terra Nova resident, believed that the proposed roadway widening will increase traffic speeds and create more accidents. He suggested that Council delay the proposed project until the completion of SR-125, Olympic Parkway, and L Street construction projects. Fred Kassman, a resident of Windjammer Condominiums, spoke against the proposed project. He felt betrayed that the long-time residents of the community are being asked to pay a price to accommodate residents of the new developments who have to access the freeways, because the infrastructure in the eastern territories is not yet in place. He believed that if development had taken place with the infrastructure in place, this would not be an issue. Dep. uty Mayor Padilla clarified for the record, that with regard to the potential Transit First project, there is a wide-spread perception that this is an approved transportation project that has been formally decided upon, which he stated is in fact not the case; and with regard to whatever degree the transportation project is being studied, that it be accurately characterized in the record, and that the extent to which the document addresses that from a mitigation standpoint, be clearly articulated in the record. Reyes Franco, believed that the City is getting ahead of itself with too many homes being built in the eastern sector, with resulting traffic funneling down East H Street. He expressed concern that the proposed street widening will increase the traffic, not relieve it. Gena Franco, conveyed her concerns regarding the environmental document, stating that there are several issues that have not been addressed that relate to traffic impact analysis relative to sound. She also commented on the lack of studies regarding threats to nesting Gnatcatchers. She believed that the proposed street widening will eliminate the walk-ability of the community to shopping areas. She felt that the project is not justified, and will not relieve traffic congestion. Ms. Franco urged Council to deny approval of both the proposed project, and environmental documents. James Boyles, a resident on Bay Leaf Drive, stated that due to the close proximity of his property to H Street, the traffic noise causes him difficulty with sleeping at night, and he believed that an additional traffic lane would amplify the traffic noise. He stated that adding a fourth lane would create further safety concerns for him when crossing, and riding his bicycle on H Street. Mr. Boyles felt that the om'amp is the cause of the traffic backup on H Street. John Boreman stated for the record, that a queuing assessment has been conducted, and that the resulting traffic analysis reveals that a fourth lane would ease traffic congestion. Marilyn Patterson, a Bay Leaf Drive resident, expressed concern regarding traffic noise, and she asked where the noise decibels were measured from. Staffmember Hellman replied that the measurement was at 50 feet from the center line of the north side of the project portion of East H Street, and near the homes, at 120 feet north of the center line of the street. Ms. Patterson also asked what the current decibel reading is. Staffrnember Hellman responded that at 50 feet from the center line, the reading is 74 decibels, and at 120 feet from center line, the reading is 68.7 decibels. Ms. Patterson then asked what the acceptable decibel level is. Mr. Helhnan replied that the City does not have a formal policy on traffic noise, but that for the purposes of the Page 8 - Council Minutes 09/I 7/02 ACTION ITEMS (Continued) California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the City uses a 65 decibel measurement for residential uses. Environmental Review Coordinator Ponseggi clarified that the noise studies based on the analysis conducted for the increased traffic, reflects an increase of less than half a decibel, which is not perceptible, since the proposed construction of an additional lane will increase traffic flow, which is what causes the decrease in noise level. Ms. Patterson felt betrayed and believed that she will hear the increase in traffic noise. Terry Zindahaus, a resident on Smokey Circle, asked Council to visit the neighborhood and listen to the traffic. She believed that the proposed street widening project will create chaos. She stated that the pedestrian lights change too fast, making it unsafe for children who have to cross the street to the bus stop or shopping center. Ms. Zindahaus felt that the residents were being treated unfairly, and she asked Council to open Olympic Parkway to alleviate the problem. ACTION: Mayor Horton moved to continue the item and to have staff return to Council and address the issues raised by the public; provide more detailed information to the public regarding the proposed project; come back with possible options to reduce noise impacts; and for the City to work with CalTrans and SANDAG to look at the possibility of advancing the proposed on-ramp. Deputy Mayor Padilla seconded the motion. Deputy Mayor Padilla added for the record the need for further examination regarding the CalTrans issue as it relates to: financial constraints, planning time line, discussions regarding coordination of their proposed improvements with the City's proposed improvements; and to the pedestrian safety and walk-ability component in terms of the north/south traffic. Councilmember Davis believed that construction of an additional lane will reduce traffic congestion and emissions. She felt that the proposed project is a positive and progressive step forward for Chula Vista. ACTION: Councilmember Rindone moved to offer a substitute motion; to move forward with both the Telegraph Canyon Road and east H Street widening projects; and he offered Resolution Nos. 2002-375, and 2002-376, headings read, texts waived. Councilmember Salas expressed the need to look at the total benefit to the community when making decisions. She believed that the mitigation measures have been addressed extensively, and that the project should move forward. RESOLUTION NO. 2002-375, RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CHULA VISTA ADOPTING THE MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION (IS-02-35) FOR THE TELEGRAPH CANYON ROAD WIDENING PROJECT AND APPROVING AN AGREEMENT FOR FINANCING AND CONSTRUCTION OF ROADWAY IMPROVEMENTS FOR TRAFFIC ENHANCEMENTS BETWEEN THE CITY OF CHULA VISTA AND BROOKFIELD SHEA OTAY, LLC, THE EASTLAKE COMPANY, THE MCMILLIN COMPANY AND THE OTAY RANCH COMPANY, AND AUTHORIZING THE MAYOR TO EXECUTE THE SAID AGREEMENT Page 9 - Council Minutes 09/17/02 ACTION ITEMS (Continued) RESOLUTION NO. 2002-376, RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CHULA VISTA ADOPTING THE MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION (IS-02-36) FOR THE EAST H STREET WIDENING PROJECT AND APPROVING AN AGREEMENT FOR FINANCING AND CONSTRUCTION OF ROADWAY IMPROVEMENTS FOR TRAFFIC ENHANCEMENTS BETWEEN THE CITY OF CHULA VISTA AND THE MCMILLIN COMPANY AND TRIMARK PACIFIC HOMES, AND AUTHORIZING THE MAYOR TO EXECUTE THE SAID AGREEMENT Councilmember Davis seconded the motion by Councilmember Rindone, and it canfed 5-0.
