At the conclusion of Mr. Schultz's presentation, Agency Members posed questions which were answered by Mr. Schultz and /or staff wherein the following was clarified: approximately 10 to 12 spaces are provided for temporary parking purposes, approximately 15 minutes, walking pavement will be relatively smooth so that high heels will not get stuck in the pavement or in the saw cuts which are 1/8 inches or smaller than the average size of a high heel, the light fixtures will be a recasting of the fixtures used in Pearson Park, foot candles, (brightness) of the lighting relative to safety is being analyzed carefully. Agency Member Daly emphasized his concern is not to have too many different versions of historical street lights used. Five or six designs are now being used and he does not want to have eight or nine. Lisa Stipkovich. The intent is to take the lights currently on Broadway and at Pearson Park and replicate those and not come up with a new design but go to the original design still on some of the major commercial streets at present. Mrs. Stipkovich then stated that the Agency tonight is also being asked to approve the conceptual landscape /streetscape plans for Center Street. West Harbor Place is a private street which will be maintained by the Association formed on the site - Center Street is a public street and will be maintained by the City. Agency staff has also met with Parks and Recreation staff and they have indicated because of the level of improvements being proposed, the Department would be maintaining the area as they would a park space. The Parks Department has been consulted relative to the types of trees to be used. Don Henry, POD /Sasaki. Working from the posted plans and drawings he briefed the Agency on the landscape /streetscape plans for Center Street. The area covered is from City Hall to the railroad tracts to the east, the focus of which is the downtown or Center Street spine. He also noted the other areas /streets to be included within the larger area pointing to those on the posted drawing. His extensive presentation outlined main components of the plan in detail - trees, ground cover, fixtures, lighting, etc. At the conclusion, Mr. Henry and staff answered questions posed by Agency Members relative to spacing of trees, transition from civic to residential areas, light fixtures, etc. 6 Relative to light fixtures, Mr. Henry explained that the Center Street fixture will be the double historical fixture, the actual replica of the double fixture that is on Lincoln, west of Harbor. It will occur only on Center Street. On the peripheral streets - Olive, Cypress, Philadelphia and other short sections he pointed to, will consist of the marbelite pole identical to the poles just installed on Broadway. The metal and marbelite fixtures will never interface 90 -89 T Anaheim Civic Center, ANAHEIM REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY November 13, 1990, 5:20 P.M. with each other. The street lights for Olive and Center are set back from the street behind the trees so that they will not be "touching" each other. Lisa Stipkovich. The intent is that Center Street and West Harbor Place have more of a commercial fixture. Other than that, in the residential areas they are being consistent with the single marbelite pole. It should be fairly consistent throughout the area with the one exception where they wanted to have more of an upgraded fixture and a commercial look. Mr. Henry then explained for Agency Member Kaywood that relative to the brightness of the lighting, they are currently working with the City Electrical Engineer in developing the layout and spacing of the street lights and are looking to meet certain minimum light standards for safety. The source of lighting will be a very efficient source. Lisa Stipkovich. Agency Approval is being requested on both landscape /streetscape plans in order to go out to bid on both projects. Construction is anticipated to start the early part of next year, approximately January or February.
