INTRODUCE ORDINANCE AND ADOPT RESOLUTION - QUARTERLY TRAFFIC RECOMMENDATIONS - Council Review of Staffs New Computerized Database System for Tracking and Processing Traffic Requests, and Reports concerning Warwick Street, and Fernside-Massachusetts-Woodside; (701) REPORT: Traffic Engineer Haygood, July 13, 1998 Traffic Engineer Haygood introduced City Traffic Consultant Dan Smith, presented the Staff Report and described the Quarterly Traffic Request System Report (on file in the Traffic Engineer's Office.) Engineer Haygood said there was quite a backlog of requests, and they were being acted upon in a systematic and efficient manner. He described the - criteria for requests that would be brought to the Council for consideration, and the internal traffic committee, which included representatives from the Public Works Services Department, the Fire Department and the Police Department. Vice Mayor Ruskin said he wanted to publicly compliment Traffic Engineer Haygood for the way he was communicating with the residents. He said the Council was striving to improve communications with the community, "and I really feel you have done an excellent job... Your letters are easy to understand, clear and concise." In response to Vice Mayor Ruskin's questions regarding a fence and vegetation at a house on Warwick Street (page 8.B.-4 in the Agenda packet), Consultant Smith said the situation appeared to be a technical violation of the Code for relatively good reasons. Mr. Smith said the fence was designed to keep people from "hopping into the Creek at that location." He said that staff had recommended to the property owners that since the fence blocked their own sight line to oncoming traffic, that they replace the fence with a view-permeable one and shorter vegetation. He said this situation was a delicate area, involving "need versus Code." Vice Mayor Ruskin said the new owners would actually be helping their own problems with driveway ingress and egress if the fence and vegetation were modified. - REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES BOOK NO. 57 JULY 13, 1998 MINUTES Page No. 083 PAGE 11
