C. Possible SRPG Position on Watermark
Watermark is not under the SRPG area but will be impacted by traffic. The SRCA submitted 75 comments to the plan. Since this is a regional shopping center the question was raised if SRPG want to take a position on this project? The SRPG Rec Council unanimously came out with a position, that perhaps Watermark can support our parks and would need SRPG’s support for it. The project encompasses a Title change and land zoning change, and will take the traffic flow from 6400 cars to 21,000 cars per day, (Kaiser ADT’s was about 17,000 cars per day). This project would impact significantly on traffic in Scripps Ranch. The comment period has closed on the EIR, but SRPG can still take up a position. Add to June and or July agenda, request a presentation at SRPG.
D. Olive Trees (B.Ilko) SRCA hired a third party, certified arborist who found 61 Olive trees within 4 groves, where the Olive Trees were identified by age and monetary value. The groves are located mainly on the right side of the street near the old Vons across from Starbucks (Aviary Drive). Preservation Grove status may be awarded to these trees. The next step is Forest Advisory Board meeting on 13May13 for a recommendation, then to the City Arborists and a couple others whom will be making the final decision. We’ll schedule SRPG action on the next agenda, to get support for this project.
V. Action Items
A. Fairbrook Rd. Traffic Calming
Propose to add a traffic calming device just east of new development to help control traffic flow going down Fairbrook Road. The 17 new homes will become a part of the current Chantemar HOA. Speed survey has been requested. 14 homes have been sold, 3 remain up for sale.
Motion/2nd:Lyon/Phillips ‘to form a Adhoc subcommittee to study the data from the traffic study’ Discuss Speed mitigation, possible or not 4 way stop sign, clarify that no speed humps allowed, and other pertinent issues.
Vote: yes=Unanimous 15-0-0 Volunteers Ilko, Ringel, K.Derry, J.Lyons
B. Speed Increase on Stonebridge Parkway
Results of traffic survey went to all SRPG members, recommendation came in that the speed limit be raised to 45mph due to majority of cars were going faster than posted limit (85% were going 51mph) this data was generated in 2009. If we don’t raise the limit, it can not be radar enforced.
Motion/2nd: Ilko/Sorensen ‘to form an Adhoc committee’.
Vote: yes=Unanimous 15-0-0 Volunteers, Sorensen, Ilko, Jan Kane, Kim Knox, Gina Manos
Would like to know traffic generation data now vs. in 2009 even though a traffic study is just a sampling of only 100 cars, SRPG will request a delay in order to get input from the community.
C. Chabad Tentative Map
Number of units will be reduced from 280 units to 228 units of 1, 2, and 3 bedroom units.
~460 bedrooms in first phase which is 80% 2bedrooms, 10% 1bedroom, 10%3 bedrooms.
Motion/2nd: Ilko/Silverstein. Vote: Yes = 14-1-0 Passed
Motion: Recommend approval of tentative parcel part for financing purposes, which would subdivide Chabad’s property to get financing for the project.
Just to clarify, the CUP stays with the land and not with the owner/partners/investors/ LLC of the subdivided property.
