Environmental Determination: Environmental Impact Report adopted February 10, 1978. Communications have been received from Derald D. Hunt, Traffic Commission Chairman, concerning Twin Towers and Sakioka Develop- ments, advocating that developers share in the cost of rectifying traffic problems created by their develop- ment even though it may be some distance from the development site; and from Joseph A. Jaconi, Jr., of Royale Business Center, Incorporated, 21515 Hawthorne Boulevard, Suite 630, Torrance, developers of the 166 acres of property immediately to the east of the Two Town Center Project, objecting to the size of the park- ing structure and the lack of setback provided. The Development Services Director reviewed the highlights of the entire project. A Transportation Systems Manage- ment Program, dated June 27, 1979, has been prepared by Linscott, Law and Greenspan, Incorporated, 2400 Michel- son Drive, Irvine, and submitted to the Director of Public Services. The applicant has submitted a revised plan reducing the size of the parking structure and the amount of parking spaces, in order to comply with conditions recommended by the Planning Commission. The revised plan was reviewed by the Planning Commission at their meeting of June 11, 1979, and recommended approval. At their meeting of June 21, 1979, the Inter -City Liai- son Committee, consisting of representatives from the cities of Costa Mesa, Santa Ana, and Irvine, reviewed the CENTROCCS Traffic Study, Sunflower/Main Corridor, Phase I, Short Term Needs, submitted by the Traffic Consultant team of Gruen Associates, Incorporated, Donald Frischer and Associates, Linscott, Law and Green- span, Incorporated, and the Irvine Company Engineering Department, dated June 15, 1979. Because of their continuing concern of traffic problems, a Task Force group has been formed, to be concerned with potential inventory of costs and splits, and their purpose is to determine logical and reasonable responsibilities for traffic system improvements of the various proposed developments. A report will be forthcoming from a technical committee, to be reviewed at a Task Force meeting on July 19, 1979, and the Inter -City Liaison Committee will be convening on the same day. Due to the lack of precise data at this time, Vice Mayor Schafer and members of the staff have formulated a set of suggested findings and a proposed condition, No. 31, which would address in general terms the specific issues of traffic problems and improvements which are needed for the street system in the area, in order to impose appropriate specific conditions when all the data is analyzed. Greg'Butcher, C. J. Segerstrom and Sons, stated that the access road should be flared at Anton Boulevard to align with the northerly extension of the future improved road, and also stated that in order to comply with Condition No. 6, an adjustment has been made to the site plan to accommodate the future freeway off - ramp. It was,Mr. Butcher's opinion that the Traffic Study Report prepared by Linscott, Law and Greenspan, Incorporated, responded to the development, including the mitigation measures, and stated that the amended condition was acceptable to him. Vice Mayor Schafer asked the Director of Public Services to comment on the letter he received from the State of California, Depart- ment of Transporation (CALTRANS). He reported that the 158 letter was in response to his request for recommenda- tions concerning two alternatives for additional freeway ' access at the Bristol Street off -ramp of the 405 Freeway. R. F. Blocker, Professional Engineer, Chief of Project Development Branch B of CALTRANS, District 7, Post Office Box 2304, Los Angeles, in his letter dated June 153% 1979, has recommended alternative B, but will defer to the CENTROCCS study.
