CONSI DERATION CALEN DAR A. Request to reconsider the installation of the 'A!I-Way' STOP at the intersection of Calle Grande and Calle Baja. City Council Request City of Orange Oral presentation is based on the written staff request, please refer to your copy. Chairman Yarger opened the public hearing for the following discussion of this request: Those speaking in favor of the request were: � Taylor Reid -321 Calle Baja, Alec Ortlieb-243 Calle Baja H. C, Newsom-220 Calle Grande The residents cited their concerns were with the volume of traffic, speed of motorists and lack of sight distance of on-coming traffic. Those speaking in opposition to the request were: William Earnest- 138 Calle Alta Rollin Mahoney- 307 Calle Grande Their comments indicated that a STOP sign at this location would benefit only the seven (7) homeowner's along Calle Baja, while forcing the majoriry of the traffic using Calle Grande to STOP at a location on an "S" curve with a 13% downhill grade, which would dramatically increase the potential for rear-end collisions, and it would be difficult to see a STOP sign at this location. Chairman Yarger closed the public hearing and returned the item to the Commission for further discussion and/or a motion. After some discussion regarding visibility of on-coming traffic at the intersection, the CTC recommended that the request be continued to it's next regular meeting.
