REPORTS OF CITY OFFICERS P~D DEPARTMENT HEADS
12. REPORT ON TRAFFIC At the meeting of January 24, 1978 the Council delayed action
CONDITIONS AT "J" on the report on traffic conditions at "J" Street/Oaklawn
STREET/OAKLAWN AVENUE Avenue and requested staff to prepare a cost estimate for
the installation of a pedestrian overpass to be installed
with Community Development Block Grant Funds.
Director of Public Works Robens referred to his written report
in which he discussed the proposed construction of the over-
pass and the amount of right of way which would be needed to
construct the ramps. The estimated cost for the entire over-
pass including the median island modifications and rights of
way is $320,000.
Mr. Robens stated that his recommendation stands for the
four-way stop at this intersection and that necessary gas
tax funds be appropriated for the installation of flashing
red lights above the stop signs on "J" Street only.
Gary Hansen Council discussion followed with Mr. Hansen explaining the
Traffic Engineer installation and cost of the flashing red lights: 12" diameter
set on a pole 10 feet high with the stop sign below it.
Clarence Knight Mr. Knight spoke against the proposal for an overpass citing
117 Jefferson Avenue the expense and that it would not benefit the children and
Chula Vista senior citizens involved. He asked for approval of the
signalization at this intersection.
Ernest Arnold Mr. Arnold spoke in favor of the traffic signal and against
897 Beech the overpass. He referred to the police citations issued
Chula Vista at this intersection in a one-month period of time stating
he does not concur with the recommendation to retain the
four-way stop. Mr. Arnold suggested installing a red-flashing
intersection control beacon to supplement the stop signs.
He cited the national figures on the warrant systems (U.S.
Department of Transportation Manual - Uniform Traffic Control
Devices) and asked for approval of a traffic signal.
Debie Leyva Mrs. Leyva expressed her disappointment in the Council not
718 Woodlawn Avenue requiring a traffic signal at this intersection. She cited
Chula Vista the efforts of the residents in this area to get the signal
installed.
Motion for flashing It was moved by Councilman Scott and seconded by Mayor Hyde
red light that the Council take the steps of putting in flashing red
lights and at the budget session, when it should be more
certain what is going to happen with the Jarvis Amendment,
that at that time, the Council look at a signal light and see
exactly how the solution of the flashing lights works --
and at budget session the Council look at it again.
City Council Meeting -8- February 14, 1978
Council discussion Discussion followed regarding the criteria of the warrant
system for traffic installations, school crossing guards
to be used not only when the children are out of school but
also in the evenings when there are activities scheduled
in the school, what happens to the old signal equipment
that is taken out of intersections when they are upgraded.
Mr. Hansen explained that for an "uncomplicated signal" -
one that has no left-turn phasing - the cost would be
$30,000 to $40,000. In answer to Councilman Egdahl's
query, Mr. Hansen commented that the signals which will be
taken out of Fourth Avenue and "H" Street are substandard
equipment and that staff is planning to dispose of it.
Councilman Egdahl stated that he would rather see a signal-
ization at "J" and Oaklawn rather than the two signals
being proposed for "L" Street at First and Second Avenues
which are being put in strictly to slow down traffic.
Councilman Scott concurred indicating that perhaps the staff
should be given direction to proceed with the engineering
phase of installing a signal at this "J" Street/Oaklawn
Avenue intersection - the same as the Council did for the
"L" Street signals.
Motion carried The motion carried by the following vote, to-wit:
AYES: Councilmen Scott, Hyde, Cox
Noes: Councilmen Hobel, Egdahl
Absent: None
Motion for resolution It was moved by Councilman Scott and seconded by Council-
for engineering costs man Cox that a resolution be brought back next week pro-
viding for the funds for the engineering of the stop light
for Oaklawn and "J" Street.
Discussion of motion Mayor Hyde felt the motion was premature - he had no objec-
tions to the staff making further analysis of this problem,
but wanted to have an opportunity to evaluate the results
of the Council's action (flashing red light).
Motion carried The motion carried by the following vote, to-wit:
AYES: Councilmen Scott, Cox, Egdahl, Hobel
Noes: Mayor Hyde
Absent: None

Z'BERG URBAN OPEN SPACE explained that the City was contacted in January and noti-

was made with the project office, Mr. Wayne H. Haug and he
informed the staff that the State Department had included
a third year funding in an identi~alam~unt for Chula Vista
in their proposed budget. Mr. Haug suggested that this City
might possibly consider the combination of the second and
third year grant allocation into a meaningful package which
would further extend this City's potential of making a
major impact on recreational needs in the community.
Mr. HAll recommended that the staff bring back this Grant
allocation to Council's attention during budget review of

held and recommended approval of the requests subject to
fulfillment of City requirements.
Motion to grant approval It was moved by Mayor Hyde, seconded by Councilman Egdahl
and unanimously carried that the report be accepted and
permission be granted to the Jaycees to hold their Spring
Carnival on March 2-5, 1978 on property adjacent to
Memorial Park, plus a waiver of all fees.
16. REPORT ON ALLEGED ZONING Director of Planning Peterson explained that the zoning
VIOLATIONS AT OMAR ordinance provides that odors detectable 500 feet away
RENDERING PLANT from the source in an industrial zone constitutes a viola-
tion. Over tho years, there have been a number of complaints
about the Omar Rendering plant which were discussed both
with Omar and the Air Pollution District. At present, the
Air Pollution District has five misdemeanor counts pending
against Omar -- arraignment on those counts is scheduled for
early April. As long as this action is pending, staff
feels no additional City action is needed.
G. Edward Arledge Mr. Arledge said he is the attorney representing the Omar
110 W. "A" Street Rendering Plant. They are trying to work out their prob-
San Diego lems with the local Air Pollution Board - looking to an
expenditure of over $200,000 to solve the issue. They are
currently testing four alternative systems - one of which
they hope will provide the solution. Whether the system
selected will eventually be installed will depend on
(1) whether the Company can afford it and (2) whether the
device will comply with the Air Pollution requirements
which are extremely strict.
Motion to accept It was moved by Councilman Scott, seconded by Councilman
staff's recommendation Egdahl and unanimously carried that the staff's recommenda-
tion be approved (no action at this time).
