ADDITIONS/DELETIONS TO THE AGENDA: None. PUBLIC COMMENTS: None. Leroy Fisher, representing the Stonegate Anaheim Community Association, spoke on Item A14 on the Council agenda, regarding the widening of Brookhurst Street on the north and south sides of Lincoln Avenue. He said they had discussed their request with the Associate Engineer of the Public Works Department, who was in charge of the project. They directed the group to discuss it with Council. He noted that they had submitted to the City Clerk a letter and pictures and a petition. The letter was dated February 4, 1998, addressed to Anaheim Redevelopment Housing and Commission from the Community Development Department and it referred to the developer of the association. He said the manager of planning for Kaufman and Broad was in charge of the Stonegate project. He indicated that a payment was made to the city in the amount of $86,000 per the agreement in the letter. He said Council does not see it necessary to modify Brookhurst Street, the installation of the turning median. He said the improvement was in direct proportion to the increase in traffic effecting Stonegate homeowners a safe entry from Brookhurst. He said the association was asking Council to consider in the near future approving an additional project that would improve the existing middle median south of Lincoln Street to Hiawatha Avenue. He noted the traffic congestion on Brookhurst was not just at the intersections but the vehicles exiting and entering the bowling alley, the Grand Resort Apartments, Stonegate and the increase in traffic on Brookhurst Street. He referred to the petition and pictures. He suggested possible immediate solutions as enhanced pavement markers, restdpe lines and vertical detonators installed. He asked if the trees could be moved and transplanted along the bdck wall in line with the existing trees. City Manager Morgan noted that Council was committed to corridor beautification, which involved Lincoln, State College and Ball. The immediate 5 year plan that Council adopted does not address Brookhurst. He recommended that the gentleman's comments be given to staff to see if there were other options for Brookhurst. He said they would provide a report to the Council or Agency. Alma Rameriz addressed the Agency regarding redevelopment.
