CONSENT CALENDAR
(Items pulled: 5b and 8)
BALANCE OF THE CONSENT CALENDAR OI~}ERED BY MAYOR HORTON, reading of the text was
waived, passed and approved 4-1 with Rindone absent.
5. WRITTEN COMMUNICATIONS:
a. Letter from the City Attorney stating that there were no observed reportable actions taken from the
Closed Session of 3/21/95. It is recommended that the letter be received and filed.
b. Letter requesting an opportunity to address Council for ten minutes regarding the ViIIa Palmera
Community. Claudia J. Diamond, Diamond Consulting Group, 539 Telegraph Canyon Rd., Ste. 145, Chula Vista,
CA 91910. It is recommended that if Ms. Diamond desires to make a presentation at this meeting, she be allowed
to do so, but that she be encouraged to submit her concerns in writing so that staff can review them in detail and
report hack to Council at a tomre meeting with their recommendations. Pulled from the Consent Calendar.
· Claudia Diamond, 1058 Jarton Plaza, Chula Vista, CA, represanting the Villa Palmera Homeowners
Association, stated when she referenced "city" in her communication (on file in the City Clerk's Office) she was
referring to staff and not Council and requested that there be a written response to her request. She had appeared

before Council twice expressing the concerns of the Association and a written response had been received but did
not answer all their questions and concerns. At the Council meeting of 11/22/94, discussion ensued regarding the
posting of signs and it was further determined that the Safety Commission would review the speed limit issue. As
of the current date she had not heard from staff nor had she been informed as to when the Safety Commission
meeting would be held. She expressed her concern with the lack of interest and response from staff regarding their
concerns. They were still concerned regarding the expansion of the sidewalk along Paseo Ranchero on the west
side. The resolution stated "the developer was responsible for construction of an expanded 8-10 ft.
sidewalk/recreational pathway, except along the existing Mission Verde (Villa Palmera) subdivisions where existing
conditions shall remain". As per City policy, 8 ft. wide sidewalks were constructed along 4-6 lane major streets
in commercial areas, not in residential areas. The sidewalk designation for a collector 1 street was 5.5 ft. which
was the existing condition along Paseo Ranchero. The expanded sidewalk was inconsistent with the sidewalks within
Rancho del Rey. At an Association meeting a McMillin representative indicated that they knew of no reason why
the expanded sidewalk could not be on the east side of Paseo Ranchero. An equestrian crossing on Rancho del Rey
Parkway had been approved by the City engineer. Building a pedestrian crossway over Paseo Ranchero north of
the Villa Palmera community to accommodate pedestrians would leave their sidewalk intact while still proving an
8 ft. wide sidewalk trail on the east side of Paseo Ranchero.
Mr. Goss stated a letter of response had been sent to Ms. Diamond addressing her questions last fall. In terms of
the items just discussed, staff was unaware of what those were and he recommended that it be referred to the Safety
Commission and staff as appropriate.
Councilmember Fox stated because the issue had gone back and forth over so many months that the item be
agendized with a report so there would be fmal resolution.
MS (Fox/Moot) to refer the issue to staff and to the Safety Commission, as appropriate, to return within 30
days with an agendized report.
Councilmember Moot requested that the report address the following the issues: 1) the speed limit which was 45
mph and the Association requested 35 mph; and 2) the width of the sidewalk and whether there would be a horse
trail through the area.
Mr. Goss stated even though it was alleged that there was no written response there was a letter from the Planning
Department that addressed the width of the sidewalk and the issue of horses on the sidewalk.
Clifford Swanson, Deputy Director of Public Works/City Engineer, stated staff had indicated in a previous report
that the road was designed for 45 mph. Staff could not set the speed and enforce it with radar at less than the 85
percentile under State law. Normally, the road was built and staff studied it for a short period of time after it was
open and then the Safety Commission would review it. That was the procedure indicated in the report. The reason
Mrs. Diamond had not been invited to the Safety Commission meeting was because the road was not yet opened
and the data was not available. Staff was aware of the concern and would proceed as outlined. When the Safety
Commission meeting was held Mrs. Diamond would be invited.
Ms. Diamond stated they had received a response but at the City meeting in September the Association
recommended a 25 mph sign posted outside the school, but Mr. Rosenberg consent~t to allowing it to be 35 mph
until the 85th percentlie study could be done. The memo she received after that meeting stated they were not going
to do that and the speed limit would be 40 or 45 mph. The reason she was before Council was because it was not
appropriate to have an 8 ft. wide sidewalk on a residential street and they were opposed to it.
Mr. Goss stated it was his understanding that it was part of the recreational pathway that was a condition of the
tentative map approved by a previous Council. The Municipal Code prohibited horses on sidewalks, but the Police
Department had advised that the City could not prohibit horses on the public streets. There was no intention to
encourage the use of the pathway as an equestrian trail. He felt it should be agendized for Council review.
VOTE ON MOTION: approved 4-0-1 with Rindone absent.

Council directed the City Attorney to prepare an amendment to the provision of the Ethics Code prohibiting a

Councilmember Fox stated the City did not have a policy in place for speed humps in streets. Council had referred
the Reclaiming Our Streets program to the Safety Commission and the program did include provisions for speed
humps for selected City streets. Thesefore, he wanted to refer the possible policy of speed humps to the Safety
Commission in conjunction with the program.
MS (Fox/Padilla) to refer speed humps to the Safety Commission in conjunction with the Reclaiming Our
Streets program.
Councilmember Padilia stated as a former member of the Safety Commission he was aware that speed humps were
not something that was looked at favorably from an engineering standpoint. He would be interested in see'rag the
item referred to the Safety Commission if it was productive, but he also knew that the engineer had reservations
regarding the utility versus the danger in using speed humps.
