Elliott Ferdon, 16 Tribute Court, appeared before. the Commission on behalf of the Newport Crest Homeowners Association, and requested a continu- ance of this. matter until such time as their Association could be a part of the planning process since they felt many factors were overlooked in the analysis and recommendations presented for this resubdivision. They were particularly opposed to the extension of Ticonderoga Street because of the number of people residing in Newport Crest and the potential hazard to the large number of children. Staff advised that the extension of Ticonderoga Street was not a part of this resubdivision, but rather was a part of the conditions imposed on the tract for Newport Crest and was the obligation of the Grant Company, developer of Newport Crest. Mr. Ferdon requested guidance as to what action could be taken on the part of the Homeowners Association in.order to be heard with respect to the extension of Ticonderoga Street and wasadvised of the City's appeal and review, process. There being no others desiring to appear and be heard, the public hearing was closed: City Engineer Nolan commented on the extension of Ticonderoga Street and advised that the concept and function was that of a local collector street and was intended to serve primarily the immediately adjacent areas. It was not intended or designed to serve through traffic and given the location of present development and configuration of traffic circulation in the area, it.was unlikely there would be a desire to use Ticonderoga as a through street. He pointed out that the approval and implementation of the subject resubdivision did not necessarily include the construction of • Ticonderoga Street and if the Homeowners were able to pursuade the City Council to relieve the Grant Company of their obligation to extend Ticonderoga Street, that could happen without much effect-on this development which would take Page 2.

He also point out that the connection between Ticonderoga Stre and 15th Street would serve to enable the resident of Newport Crest to continue north on Ticonderog and go out of the development without having to travel in a southerly direction to Superior and then go north. At this point, the Commission and staff discusse the procedures.which could be taken to eliminate conditions which were made a part of the tract f Newport Crest. They also reviewed the parcels under consideration, the existing facilities, an the proposed street extensions for clarification Motion X Following discussion, motion was made that Plan- ning Commission make the following findings: 1. That the proposed map is consistent with applicable general and specific plans. 2. That the design or improvement of the propo< subdivision is consistent with the objective of the General Plan and Specific Area Plan designation on the site. 3. That the site is physically suitable for thl type of development proposed. 4. That the site is physically suitable for thi proposed-density of development. 5. That the design of the subdivision or the proposed improvements are not likely to cau! substantial environmental damage or substan• tially and avoidably injure fish or wildlif or their habitat. 6. That the design of the subdivision or the proposed improvements are not likely to cau serious public health problems. 7. That the design of the subdivision or the proposed improvements will not conflict wit any easements, acquired by the public at large, for access through or use of,.proper • within the proposed subdivision. 8. That the improvements as proposed will pro- vide a connection between Ticonderoga Stree and Monrovia Avenue via the extension of 15 Page 3. ` ad 't; s 3 7 or M ec s ae >e h ty t th MOt.X COMMISSIONERS City Of Newport Beach MINUTES C i F v, i to • \ \ \ \$ \\ November 18, 1976 MOLL CALL Street, thereby satisfying the bonded obliga- tion of the Grant Company to connect Ticon- deroga Street to a public street. This requirement was imposed by the City as a condition to the approval of the "Newport. Crest" residential development. The connec- tion of Ticonderoga Street along with the extension of 15th Street thru the subject property will be a benefit to vehicular circulation and a step forward in the imple- mentation of the City's Master Plan of Circulation in this area. NOTE: This finding was eliminated by a subsequent amendment.to the motion. 9. That the discharge of waste from the proposed subdivision will not result in or add to any violation of existing requirements prescribed by a California Regional Water Quality.Control Board pursuant to Division 7 (commencing with Section 1300) of the Water Code. 10.

The projected traffic Volumes can be accommodated by a secondary street; however, because of high turning volumes at the future intersection of 15th Street with Balboa Boulevard extension, it was felt an increase in width to primary standards westerly of Resubdivision No. 533 would be justified.), 6. That the portion of 15th Street between Resubdivision No. 533 and Monrovia Avenue be paved with a minimum of 2 twelve foot travel lanes in order to provide for an adequate connection of the development to Monrovia Avenue.

Commissioner Balalis voiced concern that Ticonde oga Street would carry more than just the local traffic because of the congestion in the area ar felt that should this resubdivision be approved, future development on the property may create me traffic and add to the problems. 'The issue of the street extensions was further discussed and Community Development Director Hogan advised that if so directed, the staff could come back to the Planning Commission with a report and discussion regarding the value of the extension of Ticonderoga Street and the traffic problems involved should the extension be eliminated. He advised, however, that this • was a separate issue from the resubdivision undi consideration. In view of the fact that the extension of Ticon deroga was not a part of this request for resub division and the concerns which have been express relative to the extension, Commissioner Seely suggested the elimination of Finding No. 8 whit, comments on the benefits of traffic circulation since there was an uncertainty that the extensi would be desirable at this point.in time.
