Since that meeting, the City Engineer has been working with Gersten Company & Watts Industries and has received verbal confirmation that Watts Industries would complete their financial obligation on the full improvements of East "H" Street (within their o~m boundaries). City's share Mr. Lippitt noted that the original plan was to have Watts Industries build 500' offsite and the City would put in two lanes and one-half median on the Watts property and the remainder of "M" Street. In this case, Watts will be putting in the City's portion, and then at a later date, the City would put in the paving for two additional lanes and a one- half median.

The developer shall be responsible for the construc- tion of East "H" Street within the project boun- daries as shown on the tentative map and the phasing scheduled referenced in condition #10. Dick Brown Mr. Brown stated that the recommendation of Gersten Companies Gersten Companies is that (1) Council adopt the amendment to the Plan (previous- ly forwarded to the City Council titled "East "H" Street Development Program - Proposed Amendment to E1 Rancho del Rey Specific Plan"- dated May 1980 as prepared by Project Design Consultants, 610 "A" Street, Suite 301, San Diego, CA 92101); (2) that no developer in this particular area would be able to do anything without complying with the Plan; (3) that a contractual agreement be made with the City to have the City put in the additional two lanes and one-half median (in Reach #3 and #4 - east of the Watts property). That would mean that for a distance of approximatel7 4000', the City would pave four lanes and the full median instead of two lanes and one-half median, with Gersten Companies doing ail the grading and drainage. Mr. Brown added that under the Plan, the Council has the option of how they want the phasing to go. With dropping the Long Canyon area and recalculating the costs, Gersten is satisfied that Watts will satisfy their obligation if the Plan is adopted and also if they meet the grade established by Gersten (200') with a maximum of 5% grade leading to that. Gary McCabe Mr. McCabe declared that they agree with everything Mr. Brown Watts Industries has stated. As to the timing: at the time of the public hearing, Mr. McCabe said they submitted a schedule of improve- ments to go with certain phases of construction. With Phase 4, they will be completing the south half of "H" Street to the easterly boundary (2-1/2 years away). Mr. McCabe encour- aged the City to use their "deferred obligation" to the Watts' easterly boundary in an easterly extension of the street.
