Request for the installation of an "All-Way" STOP control device at the intersection of Acacia Ave. and Lime St. Cynthia Martinez 1103 W. Acacia Ave. Orange, CA 92868 Oral presentation is based on the written staff report; please refer to your copy. Chairman Yarger opened fhe public hearing for fhe following discussion. Cvnthia Martinez— 1103 W. Acacia Ave , Orange -- Opposed to the request. There recently was an accident on that corner. I petitioned right after the accidenf and so it is not on the records yet. I know there are accidents and the car was coming off Lime onto the 1100 block of Acacia. I have a block wall with wrought iron and they totally took out that wall this isn't a typical 4-Way STOP. The only people this is going to benefit are the children. There are easily 25 kids in that whole area and they tend to play in that intersection, because it isn't a street that runs to any main street, the kids feel it is safe. Felix Ybarra—279 N. Lime St., Oranye—Opposed to request. Those trees that they were talking about, we have had problems with those two trees for a long time and they belong to the City. I have called several times to get them trimmed. We have had motorcycle cops there before on Acacia, watching the traffic, when they are there no one goes through. Lime St. is almost like a main highway through there. On Acacia hardly any traffic. Now when they went into the fence on Acacia and broke the fence it never went to the City because it was never reported. It was an injury, but the lady never wanted to call. Chairman Yarger closed the public hearing and returned the item to the Commission for further discussion, and a motion. ACTION: Denied request for the installation of an All-Way STOP at the intersection of Acacia Ave. and Lime St. MOTION: F. Sciarra SECOND: J. Fortier AYES: Unanimous 2.

Request for the installation of an "All-Way" STOP control device at the intersection of James St. at Dorothy Dr., and James St. at Ruth Place. McPherson Neighborhood Preservation Committee 3447 E. Ruth Place Orange, CA 92869 Oral presentation is based on the written staff report;please refer to your copy. Chairman Yager opened the public hearing for the following discussion. Michael Accordino —453 S. James St., Orange — Opposed to request. I agree with, you we don't want red curbs. I have gone to a couple of the committee meetings and there is such a small percentage of the McPherson area. We have a petition and some of the people that are on here have signed the petition. We don't need STOP signs here: Marisa Timothv — 3830 E. Ruth Place, Orange — 4pposed to request. We're quite upset about this request. The primary reasons are that we don't want a STOP sign in our neighborhood. That is the majority of residents of Ruth Place. There is not one resident that wants one within the vicinity of the requested STOP location, likewise not one t spoke with wants a STOP sign here. I have a petition that � represents that. As far as an engineering standpoint, there is no use for one. As far as the environment of our neighborhood we do not need one. So we ask that you deny the request and from here on out, please be advised that this McPhereson Neighborhood Preservation Committee and particularly Mr. Mark Burkhardt does not � represent us in any way. As is stated here there is misinformation that is being communicated to City staff and vice versa to the community and we are not happy about it. I appreciate that we have public hearings such as this that we can let the truth be known. I appreciate you listening. Chairman Yarger closed the public hearing and returned the item to the Commission for further discussion, anaf a motion.
