ORAL COMMUNICATIONS Jim Aynes, 2811 Loreto Avenue, Costa Mesa, expressed ZE-84-194 his concerns regarding the parking and traffic problems in the area of the proposed 770 -unit "Lakes" project. Proposed Doug Yates, 274 Cecil Place, Costa Mesa, expressed his Developments concerns regarding the overall scope of the Metro Corri- within the City dor and encouraged the Council to consider appointing a master plan architect to make all the fragments of the development a whole. John Gardner, 2806 Loreto Avenue, Costa Mesa, stated that he is annoyed at the idea of a very intense high density canmercial project next to residential housing. Council Member Hall stated that Council will be hearing the Arnell project on December 3, 1984, and felt that it was inappropriate to comment on it before then. Mr. Gardner stated that if the objective is to allow people to walk to work,'the walk is not much farther M11 across Bear Street and through South Coast Plaza. He felt that balance could be achieved by putting resi- dential housing next to the homes in North Costa Mesa. Dick Mehren, 1824 Kinglet Court, Costa Mesa, asked if there.have been studies made regarding the mix of residential and ccmmercial uses, and if so, what the percentage of individuals employed by these projects will actually live in the area. Vice Mayor Hornbuckle stated that she asked the same question of the developer. They didn't have any actual figures, but are advertising heavily and have had many responses. Mr. Mehren asked if there is a formula for deciding whether or not an on-ramp is necessary at Anton Boule- vard, and if it is, who would build it. The Director of Public Services responded that Staff felt it would provide additional access and relieve traffic, but there is no formula. Caltrans approval would also be required. In this case, the property owner has dedicated the right-of-way. It would be a combination of transportation improvement funds which might be collected from a multitude of developments and City funds that would pay for the on-ramp. If there is a definite improvement to the freeway system, then there is a possibility of State funds also being used. Janet Krochman, 3107 Trinity Drive, Costa Mesa, asked what would happen if Arnell was building Phase Three or Four, and problems arise. Mayor Hartzog responded that if severe problems occur, then at that time, the Council or the developer will have to make changes or stop the project. Sid Soffer, 900 Arbor Street, Costa Mesa, felt that whether the Council is going to allow density seems to be the question. It should not matter whether it is cam-ercial or residential. COUNCILMANIC Vice Mayor Hornbuckle made a motion to revise the COMMENTS agenda so that Oral Communications will be heard before the Consent Calendar items. The motion was seconded by Agenda Hrvision Council Member Wheeler, and carried 5-0. The City Attorney stated that he is presently revising Title 2 of the Costa Mesa Municipal Code and will incor- porate the above change.
