Senior Engineer Moghadam presented the staff report (per agenda material); relayed that this Agenda Item was before the Commission to obtain further community input from the affected property owners; noted that staff had received three (3) correspondences regarding the parking impacts, as follows: a) one letter from the Villages NO.2 Homeowners Association (HOA), inclusive of eight signatures, b) one phone correspondence from an affected homeowner whereby it was relayed that the Police Department could not cite vehicles that were legally parked, and c) a letter rescinding a signature from the aforementioned HOA letter, relaying the her desire was to not implement a restricted parking plan after clarification that the resident's parking would also be restricted; for Commissioner Edwards, confirmed that if restricted parking was implemented, parking would be restricted for students, as well as the residents, clarifying the per Vehicle Code mandate there cannot be restricted parking solely for a certain group; and for Commissioner Telesio, noted that the property owners were noticed of the April 29, 1999 Public/Traffic Safety Commission meeting via door-to-door contact. The following individuals addressed the Commission regarding parking on Avenida De La Riena: o Mr. Bill J. Smith o Ms. Betty Lohrke o Mr. Herschel Nave o Ms. Diane Thorne 41664 Avenida De La Reina 41669 Avenida De La Reina 41682 Avenida De La Reina 41675 Avenida De La Reina The above-mentioned individuals relayed the following concerns and desires: ,c The student parking obstructed residential street sweeping, trash pick-up, and mail delivery. ,c The negative impacts included oil residue and trash being left on the streets. ,c Relayed a need to park their vehicles on the street. ,c Although not in favor of restricted parking for the residents, relayed a desire to implement a restricted parking program whereby the residents would be allowed to park on the street (i.e., parking stickers) Senior Engineer Moghadam confirmed, for Commissioner Telesio, that there is no current City Ordinance in Temecula permitting parking for stickered vehicles only. 2 Commissioner Telesio relayed that restricted parking during the designated street- sweeping day and hours could be implemented, alleviating the obstruction of street cleaning; noted that there was adequate parking provisions available for the students that was not being utilized due to the convenience of a shorter walking distance when parking in the residential areas; and commented that while the task of creating a City Ordinance would be an immense undertaking, he was not opposed to a restricted parking program to allow only residential parking via stickers; and relayed that in the Los Angeles area there was parking restricted to residents only in various residential areas. Commissioner Edwards reiterated the negative impacts the affected homeowners had addressed regarding student parking; and queried whether the Police Department could cite the students for jaywalking, thereby providing an impetus as to the desire for students to park in the residential areas. Police Sergeant DiMaggio clarified that jaywalking only applied (per vehicle code) between two controlled intersections (i.e., traffic signals), relaying that it was not applicable at this particular location Commissioner Edwards recommended that if parking were restricted for only an hour or two at an effective time, this would alleviate student parking, while imposing limited restrictions on the residents. Vice Chairman Connerton reiterated the parking areas available to students (i.e., the sport's park.) In response to Vice Chairman Connerton's comments, Police Sergeant DiMaggio relayed the citations that could be applicable with the existing non-restricted parking (i.e., violations regarding parking distance from curb); and noted that if a no parking restriction was implemented that it would be enforceable. MOTION: Commissioner Edwards moved to recommend that parking be restricted on Avenida De La Riena from 7:00 to 9:00 A.M., Monday through Friday, and that the School District be notified of the parking restrictions prior to the implementation of the restricted parking, via letter correspondence. Vice Chairman Connerton seconded the motion. For Commissioner Telesio, Police Sergeant DiMaggio relayed that the aforementioned proposal would be enforceable, noting, additionally, that the residents could call the Police Department for the purpose of notification that the no parking restrictions were being violated. Voice vote was taken reflecting approval of the motion with the exception of Chairman Coe and Commissioner Markham who were absent. 3.

Commissioner Telesio recommended that this project should be analyzed in conjunction with the Meadowview Study. Vice Chairman Connerton noted that Alignment "B" (per agenda material) would be more cost effective; recommended that the City pursue some relief from the MWD restrictions; and recommended that due to the complex implications of the project, that it be included in the Meadowview Study. It was noted for the record that Commissioner Markham arrived at the meeting at 6:50 P.M. The fOllowing individuals spoke in favor of incorporating this particular project into the Meadowview Study: o Mr. Dennis Bueschel oMs. Jayme Christian 41358 Yuba Circle 30762 Calle Pina Colada The above-mentioned individuals relayed the following comments: ,/ That the study explore further alternatives. ,/ That the study take into account mall traffic. ,/ Expressed a desire for staff to expedite the process of completion of the study.

For Mr. Cordell, Vice Chairman Connerton relayed the process of approving the potential Bypass Roadway project, clarifying that members of the public would be noticed, enabling them to address their comments and concerns at a future point in time. 4 MOTION: Commissioner Edwards moved to receive the report, and direct staff to continue the study, and include this project in the Meadowview Study. Commissioner Telesio seconded the motion and voice vote reflected approval with the exception of Chairman Coe who was absent. 4. Speed Undulations - Calle Pina Colada RECOMMENDATION: 4.1 That the PubliclTraffic Safety Commission reaffirm the speed undulations on Calle Pina Colada to remain in place until after the completion of the Meadowview Circulation Study. Senior Engineer Moghadam presented the staff report (via agenda material); clarified that the criteria for the removal of the undulations is that a finding be made that the undulations proved to be ineffective; relayed that the speed data indicated that the undulations have been somewhat effective at reducing vehicle speeds; and for Commissioner Telesio, specified the results of the speed data, clarifying that approximately one-third of the residents were of the opinion that the undulations were of some benefit. The following individuals addressed the Commission regarding the Calle Pina Colada issue: 1:1 Ms. Jan Lee 1:1 Mr. Dennis Bueschel 1:1 Ms. Jayme Christian 1:1 Mr. Terry Cordell 1:1 Mr. Rolfe Whitman 30899 Calle Pina Colada 41358 Yuba Circle 30762 Calle Pina Colada 41284 Bravos Court 30617 Calle Pina Colada Although Vice Chairman Connerton clarified that the only issue the Commission could address was whether or not the speed undulations should be removed (per agendized matter), the above-mentioned individuals (with the exception of Mr. Whitman) relayed that they were not opposed to the undulations as such, and relayed their additional concerns and comments, as follows: -' Recommended raising the height of the undulations to render a more effective deterrent to speed -' Concern regarding the current speed of the cars, creating a hazard with respect to their children's safety, specifically denoting teen drivers -' That staff consider the opening of North General Kearny and Kahwea Roads to alleviate cut-through traffic -' Request that additional studies be done to consider altemate solutions -' Volume of cars -' Recommended placing Police Officers in alternate locations 5 For the record a letter was submitted to the Commission from Mr. and Mrs. Johnson, and Mr. and Mrs. Pettit, noting their concern with regard to the speed and volume of traffic on Calle Pina Colada. For Ms. Lee, Police Sergeant DiMaggio relayed that during a 20-day timeframe there were officers and a radar trailer placed at the area of discussion; relayed that eight citations were issued, primarily to residents, noting that the top speed was 45 MPH; advised that the results of the data evidenced that speed was not an extensive issue; and relayed that officers are currently being sent to cite speed violators in the area of discussion. For Ms. Christian, Senior Engineer Moghadam clarified that when speed sensors are utilized for collecting data, that the sensors are placed for a minimum of two days, measuring speed for twenty-four hours a day during that period. Ms. Christian recommended that the sensors be placed in alternate locations (i.e., in front of her residence) in order to obtain accurate information regarding speed Commissioner Markham recommended that the speed undulations remain in place until the completion of the Meadowview Study, requesting that the matter be expedited. Commissioner Telesio recommended that if the speed undulations are proved to be ineffective that they be removed; queried the effectiveness of a reduction in speed by solely 4 MPH; and recommended that the decision to remove, maintain, or raise the height of the undulations be made until after the completion of the study. Commissioner Edwards concurred with addressing this matter after the completion of the study. For Community informational purposes, Senior Engineer Moghadam advised that the traffic counts and studies that encompassed the speed data for this particular area were done by an independent data collection firm; and for Vice Chairman Connerton, relayed that although there is no code restricting the height of the undulations, that as far as liability for the City, the recommendation is a height of approximately two and a half inches-three inches. MOTION: Commissioner Markham moved to reaffirm the speed undulations until the completion of the study in the Meadowview area. Commissioner Edwards seconded the motion. Commissioner Markham advised that the Calle Pina Colada matter, as proposed, would not be fully addressed until approximately five months after July 1,1999, specifying the time-frame for adoption of the Capital Improvement Program (CIP), the funding process, and the awarding of a contract; recommended that staff investigate avenues to expedite the process (i.e., budget modifications), advising that the Meadowview HOA be contacted in order to aid in the formation of a plan to expedite this particular issue (i.e., an ad hoc committee); and concurred with Community input, that this issue should not be further delayed. Voice vote was taken reflecting approval of the motion with the exception of Chairman Coe who was absent. 6 For the record Mr. Dennis Bueschel submitted to the clerk a memorandum expressing a request for consideration to sit on the aforementioned potential ad hoc committee. 5. Removal of Traffic Sianal - State Route 79 South at Bedford Court RECOMMENDATION: 5.1 That the PubliclTraffic Safety Commission discuss the feasibility of removing the traffic signal at the intersection of State Route 79 South at Bedford Court. Commissioner Markham advised that he would be abstaining with regard to this Agenda Item, and therefore left the dais for this matter; and recommended that the press, and its staff, duly note his abstention. By way of overheads, Acting Director of Public Works Hughes presented the staff report (per agenda material); clarified that the intent of agendizing this issue was to discuss the merits of conducting a study which would encompass whether the traffic signal at Route 79 South at Bedford Court should be removed, or alternative access be provided to the adjacent properties; relaying that the goal of staff is to mitigate traffic impacts, specifically, after mall opening; advised that the County is involved in traffic improvements in the area of discussion; relayed that the current trip count in the area of discussion was 20,000 trips a day, with a potential at build out of 70,000 trips per day; noted that if a study was implemented that the complex issues associated with this area could be addressed; and presented four diagrams with potential options for the area of discussion, relaying that for overall traffic improvement for the City alternate options could potentially vastly improve traffic circulation while still providing access to the adjacent properties. In response to Commissioner Edwards' comments, Acting Director of Public Works Hughes clarified that staff is recommending that the Commission support the implementation of a thorough study to maximize 79 South, inclusive of consideration of removal of the signal; relayed that the issue before the Commission is not based on whether or not the signal will be removed, but solely whether or not a study would be conducted to consider the best alternatives for traffic circulation in the area of discussion. Vice Chairman reiterated for the public that the issue before the Commission was to approve or deny recommendation of a study in the area of discussion, and not to remove the signal. The following individuals spoke in strong opposition to the removal of the traffic signal: [:J Mr. Victor Jones [:J Mr. Jack Raymond [:J Mr. Jay Beckley [:J Mr. Burton Merrill [:J Mr. Matt Greenberg [:J Mr. Kauser Salman [:J Mr. Ray Bozarth PO Box 1624 44535 Bedford Court 44560 Classic Way 44535 Bedford Court 27311 Jefferson Avenue 44515 Bedford Court 44515 Bedford Court 7 Q Mr. Fred Grimes Q Mr. John Moramarco 27311 Jefferson Avenue PO Box 9061, Temecula The above-mentioned individuals relayed the fOllowing concerns and comments: ,/ Opposition to the signal being removed ,/ Opposition to a study that would consider removal of the signal ,/ That the commercial properties have invested millions of dollars locating in this particular area, relying on the signal access ,/ That if a study was done, it be postponed until construction on Highway 79 is completed ,/ That if a study was implemented, that the adjacent properties' egress and ingress be taken into consideration For the record a memorandum was submitted expressing opposition to a study that would consider removal of the signal, inclusive of three signatures from the Par Crest Plaza Business Owners. Commissioner Edwards, echoed by Commissioner Telesio, concurred that while removal of this particular signal would improve overall traffic circulation, relayed that the alternate options would not ensure safety; and recommended that the signal not be removed. Commissioner Telesio relayed that prior to the installation of this signal there existed a safety hazard regarding access to the adjacent properties, that resulted in fatalities; noted that the potential options presented would compromise safety standards; and therefore expressed opposition to a study to consider removal of the signal Vice Chairman Connerton concurred with the Commissioner's comments, reiterating the detrimental impact the removal of the signal would have on the adjacent property owners. MOTION: Commissioner Edwards moved to recommend that the signal not be removed, and that the study be denied. Commissioner Telesio seconded the motion and voice vote reflected approval with the exception of Commissioner Markham who abstained and Chairman Coe who was absent.

Chairman Charles Coe Administrative Secretary Anita Pyle 10 ITEM NO.2 AGENDA REPORT TO: FROM: Public/Traffic Safety Commission €; Ali Mogbadam, P.E.. Senior Engineer, Traffic DATE: May 13, 1999 SUBJECT: Item 2 Installation of "Multi-Way Stop" - Margarita Road at De Portola Road RECOMMENDATION: That the Public/Traffic Safety Commission recommend that the City Council adopt a Resolution establishing a "Multi-Way Stop" at the intersection of Margarita Road and De Portola Road. BACKGROUND: A review of the City's Traffic Signal Priority List revealed that the intersection of Margarita Road at De Portola Road did not appear on the list of intersections evaluated for potential traftic signal installation. An evaluation of traffic conditions has been performed to determine if this intersection satisties the minimum warrant criteria for the installation of traffic signals. Margarita Road is identified on the City's Circulation Element as an 86 foot wide four lane Arterial Highway with a 14-foot wide raised median. Currently, Margarita Road at De Portola Road is 44 feet wide with one travel lane in each direction. The speed limit is posted at 45 MPH on Margarita Road. De Portola Road, west of Margarita Road is identified on the City's Circulation Element as a 64 foot wide four lane Secondary Highway. East of Margarita Road, De Portola Road is identified as a 76 foot wide four lane Major Highway with a 12-foot wide raised median. Currently, De Portola Road is 40 feet wide with one lravellane in each direction. The speed limit is posted at 50 MPH on De Portola Road. "Stop" signs on De Portola Road control the intersection. The justitication for the installation of a traftic signal at an intersection is based on a series of eleven (11) warrants that have been established by Caltrans. Satisfying anyone of these warrants, or a combination of warrants, could be justification for the installation of a traffic signal. These warrants are contained in the Caltrans Traffic Manual that has been adopted by the City of Temecula as a guideline to be used in the evaluation and installation of various traffic control devices, including traffic signals and "Stop" signs. The traffic signal warrant analysis performed for the intersection of Margarita Road at De Portola Road indicates that all applicable warrants are satisfied one hundred percent (100%) and a traftic signal is justitied at this intersection. A copy of this analysis is included as Exhibit "B". r: \truffic\commissn\agcndn\99\0513 \margdcport'ltopfajp The Caltrans Traffic Manual indicates that under certain conditions where traffic signals are warranted and urgently needed, multi-way stop controls may be used as an interim measure. There are four (4) criteria that Caltrans has established for the evaluation of "Multi-Way Stop" signs. These criteria are as follows: I. Where signals are warranted and urgently needed, the multi-way stop may be an interim measure that can be installed quickly to control traffic while arrangements are being made for the signal installations. 2. An accident problem, as indicated by five (5) or more reported accidents within a twelve (12) month period of a type susceptible to correction by a multi-way stop installation. Such accidents include right and left-turn collisions as well as right-angle collisions. 3. Minimum Traffic Volumes a. The total vehicular volume entering the intersection from all approaches must average at least 500 vehicles per hour for any eight (8) hours of an average day, and b. The combined vehicular and pedestrian volume from the minor street or highway must average at least 200 units per hour for the same eight (8) hours, with an average delay to minor street vehicular traffic of at least 30 seconds per vehicle during the maximum hour, but c. When the 85-percential approach speed of the major street traffic exceeds 40 miles per hour, the minimum vehicular volume warrant is 70 percent of the above requirements. 4. School area traffic control recommendations/warrants. The "Multi-Way Stop" warrant analysis indicates that all applicable warrants are satisfied one hundred percent (100%) and "Multi-Way Stop" signs are justitied at Margarita Road and De Portola Road. A copy of this analysis is included as Exhibit "D". Since the intersection of Margarita Road at De Portola Road satisfies the criteria for installation of a traffic signal, staff recommends the installation of "Multi-Way Stop" signs as an interim measure. Installation of a signal at this intersection will be included in the five (5) year Capital Improvement Program for consideration. FISCAL IMPACT: $500.00 for the installation of two (2) "Stop" signs and associated striping. Attachment: I . Exhibit" A" - Location Map 2. Exhibit "B" - Traffic Signal Warrant Analysis 3.

Statt' is in the process of developing and defining a scope for the proposed study. Input from the Commission and residents should be included in the scope of the study to ensure that the study address the Commissions concerns. The scope of the proposed study may include the following tasks. . Review of all access points in and around the Meadowview Community . Evaluation of needed improvements . Evaluation of the existing traffic control devices . Evaluation of need for additional traffic control devices . Evaluation of sight distance at uncontrolled intersections . Evaluation of potential impact by major projects in the area . Meet with HOA and residents . Feasibility of alternative access roads . Determination of travel origination and destination poinl~ . Collection of additional vehicular speed and volume data . Development of acceptable alternatives for reducing vehicular speed and volume City Council will consider authorizing this study on May 11, 1999.
