and emergency services to the area.

Inter-City Engineers and Gardner, and they were in agreement with the recom-
mendation not to cul-de-sac Flower Street, expressing the
same concerns regarding fire and emergency services.

public hearings were declared closed.
Motion for resolution It was moved by Councilman Cox, seconded by Councilman
ordering vacation of Hobel and unanimously carried that a resolution ordering

MAP FOR MORGAN AND
GARNDER SUBDIVISION Mayor Hyde noted the staff report indicated that in con-
(Continued from nection with the realignment of Bonita Road and Flower
May 17, 1977) Street extension, the property owner, Morgan and Gardner,
agreed to provide the right of way for this realignment.
Amendment to resolution It was moved by Mayor Hyde, seconded by Councilman Scott
and unanimously carried the conditions of approval in the
resolution be amended to show that Morgan and Gardner,
owner of the section south of "E" Street, agree to give
the City an irrevocable offer of dedication for the neces-
sary right of way to realign this intersection as a con-
dition of approval of this tentative map.
Traffic to be monitored In answer to a query from Councilman Egdahl, Director of
at Corte Maria and Public Works Robens said that the staff will monitor the
"E" Street intersection of Corte Maria and "E" Street, and if acci-
dents or the traffic situation warrants it, left turns
from Corte Maria onto "E" Street may be prohibited.
Suggestion for signal Councilman Egdahl expressed his concern that the proposed
at Flower and "£" intersection of Flower Street and Bonita Road is equally
Street as a condition dangerous, and even more dangerous than the intersection
of approval of map of Hilltop Drive and "E" Street. tle said he would be will-
ing to make the installation of a signal (at Flower and
"£" Street) a condition of approval for the tentative map.
Policy being prepared Director of Public Works Robens said that one of the con-
for Council consideration ditions of approval now is that the developer participate
regarding signal installa- in the construction of this signal. He said staff is work-
tions in new developments ing on a policy for Council consideration regarding the
degree of participation that should be required of devel-
opers in the installation of signals. This policy will
be brought to the Council in the near future.
Motion to have signal It was moved by Councilman £gdahl and seconded by Council-
installed by developer man Scott that, as an additional amendment to the
resolution approving the tentative map, the signal
(at Flower and "E" Street) be required of the developer.
Council discussion followed concerning the proposed policy
and the degree of participation that should be required
by developers in the installation of signals,which will be
done on a percentage basis, and which in some instances
may even be 100%.
In answer to query from Councilman Egdahl, City Attorney
Lindberg said that the conditions of the tentative map
could be modified later depending on facts subsequently
submitted by the staff.

5. b. REPORT CONSIDERING At the Council meeting of May 17, 1977 the final approval
CHANGE IN CUL-DE- for the tentative map and vacation of Hilltop Drive was con-
SACING OF FLOWER tinued to this meeting so the staff could consider the
STREET AND DEDI- suggestion to cul-de-sac Flower Street just east of the
CATION OF PROPERTY intersection of Corte Maria.
FOR BONITA ROAD
FOR MORGAN AND In a written report, Director of Public Works Robens and
GARNER SUBDIVISION Director of Planning Peterson said that staff recommends
TENTATIVE MAP not to cul-de-sac Flower Street for the following reasons:
(1) Traffic flow would be forced into "D" Street which is
not a standard residential collector street as it is narrow
(30' curb to curb); (2) the proposal would result in an
extremely long cul-de-sac (2,000') which is undesirable;
(3) to cul-de-sac Flower Street would increase the need
to turn left at Corte Maria and "E"; (4) buses of school
children on field trips heading for 1-805 would also have
to make left turns at Corte Maria and "E" Street; and (5)
traffic would not be diminished at the intersection of
Flower Street and First Avenue.
Mr. Robens further reported that it is proposed to realign
the Bonita Road leg southerly of Flower Street to provide
a better designed intersection when a traffic signal is
constructed. The property owner - Morgan & Gardner - has
agreed to give the City an irrevocable offer of dedication
for the necessary right-of-way for this realignment.
It was moved by Councilman Hobel, seconded by Mayor Hyde
and unanimously carried that the Council accept the report
concerning the tentative map, Item 5b.

decimal point was omitted and the wording should read"one

staff recommendation paragraph H concerning the question of access and circula-
regarding left turns tion. The language now requires the first developer to
onto site install a median divider in Bonita Road in order to pro-
hibit left turns in and out of the site. He said staff
has reconsidered this since the staff report was prepared
and now recommends that left turns be allowed on a trial
basis - if the location of the access point to Bonita Road
in shifted to the west approximately 80 feet. The City
would still reserve the right to install a median divider
in Bonita Road if traffic problems should develop in this

Roy McLennan Mr. McLennan said he had submitted the petition and letters

Chula Vista 92011 they be read into the record.
City Attorney Lindberg clarified that the communications
had been made a part of the record and it was noted that
they are in opposition.
Mr. McLennan said he felt the contents of the letters and
the petition should be read into the record to outline the
reasons for the opposition.
Motion to read It was moved by Councilman Hobel and seconded by Councilman
communications Cox that since the letters and heading of the petition were
into the record short, that they be read into the record.
Councilman Scott spoke against the motion as the materials
had already been made a part of the record by minute action.
The motion carried by the following vote, to-wit:

At the direction of Mayor Hyde, City Clerk Jennie Fulasz
read a portion of the letters and the petition for the
record.
Letters and petition Mayor Hyde interrupted the reading of the letters, noting
ruled irrelevant to that the objections were in opposition to the zoning and
the public hearing not to the precise plan and were therefore irrelevant to
the public hearing concerning the precise plan. He directed
the City Clerk to discontinue reading into the record.
Mayor Hyde emphasized that this is a public hearing to
consider a precise plan developed in accordance with zoning
regulations, and is not a zoning matter.
Christine Allen Hughes In response to a question from Ms. Hughes, Mayor Hyde

Chula Vista to a zoning matter and this would have to be done through
a petition to rezone the property.

GROUNDING REQUIREMENTS
ALOMG OTAY LAKES ROAD Director of Public Works Robens said that a request for
ADJACENT TO RANCItO deferral of 12 KV lines along Otay Lakes Road was made by
ROBINHOOD UNIT NO. 3 the developer of Rancho Robinhood Unit No. 3 Subdivision.
The 12 KV lines are on the same pole as the 69 KV lines,
which are exempt from the requirement of undergrounding.
Since the pole would remain if the 12 KV lines are under-
grounded, staff recommended that the undergrounding be
deferred.
Public hearing closed There being no other comments, either for or against, the
public hearing was declared closed.
Motion to grant It was moved by Councilman Hobel, and seconded by Council-
request for deferral Cox that a proper resolution be brought back granting the
deferral.
In answer to a query from Councilman Egdahl, Director of
Public Works Robens said that it is technologically feasible
to underground 69 KV lines, but is very expensive.
Council discussion ensued concerning the possibility of
spreading the costs over a period of time for large areas
such as this; how undergrounding is being accomplished in
other cities; and that this might be a proper area to start
an undergrounding program.
Substitute motion It was moved by Councilman Egdahl and seconded by Council-
man Scott (1) that the staff be asked to bring back a
report on the cost of undergrounding the 69 and 12 KV lines
on Otay Lakes Road and (2) how much frontage along Otay
Lakes Road has already been deferred, coming from Bonita
Road.
Council discussion followed concerning the problem of
piecemeal undergrounding; delay to the developer if deferral
if not granted; feasibility of requiring undergrounding of
12 KV lines now and the 69 KV lines at a later date; and
if the City has any legal hold on deferrals (could be
complished by resolution).
Substitute motion failed The substitute motion failed by the following vote, to-wit:
Ayes: Councilmen Egdahl, Scott
NOES: Councilmen Hobel, Cox, Hyde
Absent: None
