Miles, Jr.; Mro & Mrso Richard Kidder; Mrs~ Bess Hughes Dickinson. The Mayor read the letters aloud. Oral reports of this project were presented by the City Manager and the Director of Public Works in which it was stated that no prior determination as to location has been made; however, general plans for an east-west street across the northern part of the City have been discussed; that none of the euggested routes in any way impinges upon the Santiago Park; it does impinge upon and cut through the Santiago Day Camp, which is used mostly for children's groups where they can go for day camping or overnight camping; that the City of Santa Aha has not been able to work out a system for relief traffic in this section with the City of Orange, and therefore, any route approved must be entirely within the city limits of the City of Santa Anao It was also stated that traffic studies have been made and the projection for east-west traffic north of 17th Street is 16,000 cars per day; that another problem in this area is lack of good access for fire-fighting forces, and without this access it would he necessary to construct an additional fire station to service the area. The following information was provided on each plan submitted: Alt. 1 and 2 - Cost, approximately $470,000. The disadvantages are that the curves are too sharp; the route cuts across the property of a major developer (Parcel Map 683); and property owners on Clemenson object~ Alto 3 Cost, approximately $630,000~ The City of Orange objects to this alternative since the route meets Glassell in the City of Orange; however, this area would be under State jurisdiction because of the proximity to the Freeway; it has steeper grades than the first two alternatives, but is still acceptable. Objectionable to Clemenson home owners~ Alt. 4 Cost, approximately $605,000. The primary disadvantage is the sharp curves° This alternative is more acceptable to the Clemenson home owners, but less favorable to the developer~ Alt, 5 Since the Planning Commission hearing, the Public Works Department has continued its study of the area and developed Alternative 5, which was also presented to the Council. Cost, approximately $79Z, 000; would not cut through Santiago Park, nor the developer's property. The recommendation of the Public Works Department was for Alternative 3. Planning Commission Resolution No. 5951 also recommended Alternative No. 3. CITY COUNCIL -Z6- January 18, 1971
