Box 7027 Laguna Niguel, CA 92607 � Oral presentation is based on the written report, please refer to your copy. Chairman Yarger opened the public hearing for the following discussion: r Donna Hanson, 337 Calle Grande - I kind of drew a map, I wish I had something better to show you. But, as you come up off of Chapman and you go up to Calle Grande... Calle Baja is, of course, on the west end side. We live up this � project driveway. There are 4 homes directly across, which is like a private road, � ��d ther� are 4 families in here and we have to turn to get in to our homes. And, I agree with this, traffic coming down that hill is very fast moving and sometimes it becomes very dif�icult just to get into our private road. As far as an accident is concerned, about a year and a half�go, a gentleman at 2:00 a.m, came down that hill... was going so fast, he hit the curb and he knocked out our 4 mailboxes. My mailbox, his insurance took care of it, but it was reported to the police. My mailbox alor�e was a brick foundation filled with cement, with a rod iron mailbox on it and the other 2 were rod iron cemented in the ground, and 1 was a regu lar mai l box. He wiped them all out and totaled his car. -2- So, you can see that this is a situation that needs to be addressed and this is something that we really would like to have to slow that tra�c down. At the time . I had requested... called the City and requested speed bumps done. We did not have the back access road at that time which is the new road that comes through it. But, they couldn't do speed bumps because they felt that this could cause an accident or something. And,�the lines in the street were not visible at the time, so I did request that they go out and at least make the lines in the street visible which they�have. But you can still hear peop�e coming down that street real fast and it is a real problem and I really, really think that this is necessary that we have that freeway STOP there. �It will stop them at Chapman. It will stop them at Calle Baja and it will address that we can get into our private road there also. Addison Taylor Reid 321 Calle Baja - I attended the meeting last, �nonth, about the rumble strips and at that time suggested that perhaps I should submit this idea. I am glad to hear that it is your recommendation that it be accepted. As regard to accidents, I have seen 2 turnovers at that corner. Cars coming down... one Volkswagen and another car within the last 10 years, complete rollovers. It's a badly engineered street, especially if they try to turn into Calle Baja when they're going down Calle Grande. And, I heartily endorse your recommendation. Thank you. Chairman Yarger closed the public hearing and returned the item to the � Commission for a final discussion and/or motion. RECOA�IlV�NDATION: �To APPROVE the installation of a '3-Way' STOP at the intersection of Cal1e Grande and Calle Baja. M�TION: � J.Fortier SECOND: B. Leming AYES: Unanimous C.

Candlewood Ave. - Since I am the orily one left, I will put in my every six months request, that the police please try to stop some of the truck traffic on Taft Ave, between Glassell and Tustin Streets, that goes behind my house. There are a lot . of these guys that are scof�laws, I guess they are, and it kind of bothers me. I know that the police can't be there everyday but they usually pick one day and the truck drivers all have CB's and they�now when you're there. And, it kind of bugs me when I see you stop � a private car and you're writing them the ticket for some reason, yet I watch three semi's going by. I think that the truck tra�ic should take precedent over whatever else those guys are doing. That's all I have to say. VI. ADJOURNMENT � Discussion of all today's Agenda items before the City Traffic Commission being complete, and there being no further requests for action under Oral Presentations; the Chairman hereby adjourns this session of the City Traffic Commission to it's next regular meeting.
