APPROVAL OF MINUTES: It was MSP (Chidester/Ray) to approve the minutes of August
21, 1989.
NEW BUSINESS:
A. Item 5 was moved up on the agenda. Joe Kloberdanz of San Diego Gas &
Electric spoke on the Augmentation Project and Comb ined-Cyc Ie Pro j ec t.
Topics included the effect on the environment, who monitored pollutants in
the bay and air, and the role of RCC in these projects. He noted that these
projects will go on with or without the merger of Southern California
Edison. No specific questions could be made because everything is still
tentative and in the planning stages.
B.
Doug Reid presented updated information on Draft EIR-89-9, Eastlake III-
Olympic Training Center. The summary report on the Draft was presented by
Commissioner Fox. A brief overview of the Training Center was presented,
including Some of the surrounding residential areas on 438 acres.
A circulation master plan on water and sewer was suggested. The lake will
be open for public use, including boating, but not swimming. Forty-three
acres of park and recreation is planned. It is noted that no reference was
made on horse and equestrian trails, however they are present in other
surrounding areas. The locale of the prison to the south was not addressed
and how it would impact the quality of life. A concern was raised regarding
that of a planned community with private recreational activities which
residents pay for, but would still drive public streets. No regional plan
for water reclamation was included in the report. Apparently when Otay
Water issues' permits, water is granted to builders.
Is was MSP (Chidester/Ray) to recommend RCC cert ifies Draft EIR-89-9 as
provided, which appears to meet the minimum CEQA requirements.
Concerns over the comprehension of total water recycling by the City,
inherent quality of life and rapid and apparent gro\olth was noted to be
reoccurring with each EIR presented. It was MSP (Ray/Hall) that RCC request
that the Planning Commission approve EIR's according to CEQA requirement,
but urge the feelings of concern that EIR's are not comprehensive in total;
that approval of the general plan is good but the opposition is to the other
reoccurring concerns inc luding cumulat ive impac t of water, sewer, traffic,
and quality of life.
