Additional petitions in opposition to the extension, containing 196 signatures for a total of 307, were submitted to the Clerk during the meeting. The Director of Planning stated that a memorandum from the Planning staff has been submitted recommending that a building moratorium be placed on the property in the vicinity of the possible extension of Wilson Street, which would connect with Atlanta Avenue in Huntington Beach, to allow time for a precise alignment study. The Director further stated that the Planning'Commiss'ion has continued their public hearing for Zone Exception ZE-78-218, located at 2243-2253 Pacific Avenue, for a 15-unit.condominium project at the western terminus of Wilson Street until February 13, 1979, in order to receive direction from Council. Their request for a building moratorium would be in the nature of'an urgency ordinance for a period of four months, with extensions possible.for an additional 20 months, but staff feels the precise alignment study could be completed in the initial four-month period at a cost of $10,000.00 to $12,000.00. An Environmental Impact Report might be necessary and could cost an additional $10,000.00 to $20,000.00. Mayor McFarland stated that the question before the Council was the necessity for the Wilson Street extension itself, and the moratorium was secondary: Vice Mayor Schafer remarked that the question should be discussed with Huntington Beach and the County to determine the impact on funding should Costa Mesa delete the extension from the Master Plan. The Director of Public Services estimated that if .left on the Master Plan of Highways, Wilson Street would not get to the construction stage until the late 1980's. In response to a question from Mayor McFarland, the Director of Planning stated that:: the Environmental Impact Report could be made part:of the General Plan Circulation Element, which is expected to be completed late in 1979, and would make that Circulation Element much easier to produce. The following-Costa Mesa residents spoke in opposition to ' the extension of Wilson Street: Sharon Sutton, 891 Joann Street; Donald Roeser, 889 West Wilson Street; Carlos Young, 918 Senate Street; Verlyn Marth, 3197 Cape Verde Place; Mary Hornbuckle, 2221 Raleigh Avenue; Sherryl Ward, 891 Darrell Street; Louis Corrido, address unknown; Margaret Weaver, 2211 Pacific Avenue; and W. A. Vermolen, 998 Modjeska Circle. Barbara McCollum, a resident of Huntington Beach, explained to the Council that the homeowners in the Atlanta Street vicinity are also in opposition to the extension of Wilson Street. Developer Jack Thompson, Mesa Bluffs Development Company, the applicant before the Planning Commission, stated that a building moratorium would cause great financial hardship for him. After further discussion as to alternatives to be taken, a motion was made by Councilman Hall, seconded by Councilman Raciti, and carried, to direct staff to proceed with the necessary steps to remove the Wilson Street and Gisler Avenue river crossings from the Circulation Element of the General Plan. On motion by Councilman Hall, seconded by Vice Mayor Schafer, and carried, the Council decided not to enact an urgency ordinance declaring a building moratorium. Mayor McFarland confirmed with the Director of Public Services that our documentation'in support of the Circulation Element could serve as sufficient justification for the removal of Wilson Street and Gisler Avenue should that justi- fication be'needed to retain County Arterial Highway Program funding. The Council appointed Mayor McFarland and Councilman Hall, presently sitting on the Council's Transportation Committee, to meet with Fountain Valley. and Huntington Beach regarding Wilson Street and Gisler Avenue.
