The following documents are on file in the office of the City Clerk: Affidavit of Mailing - Notice of Public Hearing ' - A.ffidavit of �Publication - Notice of Public Hearing 1Vlemorandum of Planning and Community Development Director dated September 17, 1976 The City Clerk advised Council that communications had been Sc�L� received from the following persons in opposition to the proposal for traffic diverters: ll�f� � � IVIr-: arid Mrs: Doyle Freirnann � Mr: Stewart Kett ' R. L. Kiel, Redding Postmaster John Reiner • Ethan and Arny Papineau Petition signed by 44 residents of Magnolia A.venue Letters were received from the following persons favoring diverte'r s: ` Mary Jane Nelson Richard and Dorlene Sauntlers Planning and Community Develop'ment Director Ha�rris advised Council that the proposal for the temporar•y traffic diverter.s evolved from the development of the Magnolia Neighborhood Plan, which is part of the Communit�y Development Program. During several meetings with Magnolia residents, a major problem identified was vehicular traffic which neither originated.nor terminated within the neighborhood. Lyle Stewart, Planning Consultant for the .City, explained that one of the greatest concerns was riot so much the quantity of traffic that penetrates the neighborhood, but the quality =- excessive speed on hilly streets where visibility is poor. The purpose of the d�verters is to discourage ithrough traffic. The locations of the proposed diver- ters were shown; on the Vu Graph. Mr. Stewart pointed out that con- struction would be such that emergency vehicles could push through the diverters if necessary. The following peirsons spoke .against the diverters on the basis that they would divert more traffic to Magnolia Avenue, that diverters are a hazard, arid that the�y would encourage the use of skateboards on the streets: ; - � . D. Davis, 3510 Bechelli L,arie W. Bell, 1431 Orange Ave. J. Wilson, .1416 Magnolia D. Baldwin, .1431 Olive Mrs. Nowell, 2331 Shasta D. Williams , 1456 Magnolia C. Barham, 1352 1Vlagnolia J. Bortoletto, 2.020 Carpenter Lane M. McMahan, 2900 Valentine Lane S. Boone , 2556 Shasta Street Honorable R:ichard B. Eaton R. Hester, 2349 Shasta i � Some of those opposed to the diverters indicated they would be agreeable if diverters were also provided on 1VIagnolia Avenue. � i � i j � � i 183 Persons favoring diverters or some alternate means of slowing traffic, such as four-way stop signs , dips , etc, , were as follows; Clyde Bentley, 2249 Butte Street Darline Saunders, 2408 Butte Street Kay Perry, 2354 North Street Marvin He s s George Keller , 1337 Olive Street Porter Jacobs , 1265 Olive Street � Henry Saunders, ;375 Chestnut Street Both Mrs. Saunders and Mrs. Perry noted that they had, submitted petitions requesting stop signs , and in each instance the Traffic and Parking Commissiori had rejected the requests. MOTION: Made by Council.man Demsher, seconded. by Councilma.n Pugh that the Public Hearing be closed. The Vote: Unanimous A.yes Councilwoman Gard asked Public Works Director Arness what type of temporar�y barriers would be used. She was advised that either 6x6 or 8x8 horizontal strips with 30" or 36" vertical plastic tubes would probably be used, and perhaps improved street lighting at such intersections. Couricilman Pugh said he noted that the theor�y behind the use of the diverters is that (1) only neighborhood residents will'use the streets , and (2) the diverters will slow down the flow of traffic. He asked if ,stop signs wouldn't accomplish the same thing and if there had been a study showing that people don'.t stop at stop.signs. Councilman Ander son commented that evidently mo st of the problem is speed and he doesn't feel that relocating traffic onto other streets is_going to correct the speed prablern..��He_,doesn!t believe't•hat diverters are the answer but is-willing to try them if the res�idents really want them, but he thinks the City should look for another solution. , � . � Councilman Demsher would like .to preserve the quality of the neighborhood and thinks there is a need to deal with the traffic problerns. ,He:favors trying�the �diverters o'r using four-way stop signs at intervals on the through streets from Eureka Way to Placer Street. � Councilwoman Gard would not want the diverters installed on a permanent basis, but does feel that they are worth trying. Councilman Pugh mentioned that if the diverters are installed, traffic would,be moved to Wiscons:in and Ridge Drive,;.;or to Court Street. He noted that the locations of the schools create a traffic problem and he is not convinced that diverters which divert traffic to other streets is the ;an�swer. . Councilwoman Gard asked Traffic Engineer Hamilton his thoughts on,:four-way stop s:igns. : � . , , . _ Mr. Hamilton stated that four-way stop signs work well when the traffi.c demands , but that when stop signs when there is little reason for thezn trafficwise, they are often ignored. He said they will.have no effect on speed, � � , � . , . , 184 MOTION:�°'Made by Council:man Pugh, seconded'by Councilman Demsher'Ireferring the matter back to Planning Staff for more detail stu�dy and alternate methods of eliminating the thorough- fare concept in the Magnolia Neighborhood area, including the use of four-way stop signs at 'appropriate location's .

Murphy .explained� that the Cit,y has employed_an independent appraiser to appraise, the 38 parcels of property in the Linden Avenue area that are necessary to acquire for ,. � .. - . . - . -_ • . :, , .. . . . �;,. . , -- . 18'6 th'is project. If Council determines to proceed with the project, the appraiser will commence work. He will appraise each of the 38 properties to be purchased, When he completes his work, which he must do in 90 days, a second independent appraiser will review his appraisals and determine that he has computed the figures accurately and properly, When that has been com- pleted, each of t•he property owners will be offered the approved appraised price� That price is to be the.fair market value of the property -- what�a willing bu�yer would pay a willing seller. If the property o�wner feels the price is too low; he can refuse to sell. If so , the matter will go to court and the court will decide whether the price is fair or not. If the court decides that the price is too�low, a determination will be made by the court as to a fair price. _ . If the property owner is satisfied with the.price offered by the ' City, he can accept the price. Mr. Murphy explaine.d that in addition to the acquisition payment, there is a relocation plan which will provide an additional sum of money to assist the reside�t property owner in relocating in a new.neighborhood. This does not apply to an absentee property owner, but would apply to tenants living on property to be acquired.. Mr. Murphy was asked if the law doesn't require•three appraisers, and he replied that it does not, He was also asked if it were not true that the property.would be condemned if the owner does not agree to the price offered. Mr. Murphy stated that the Cit�y can compel the property owner to sell, but the City cannot insist that the owner accept the price offered. The matter would then be referred to the court. In reply to a que'stion as to how long before the, propert�y owners can expect to be. contacted, Mr. Murphy said that within three weeks o£ this meeting the City will send out a communication to all property owners and/or tenants of the 38 parcels .which will give more detailed information regarding the acquisition and re-. location.
