Staff report by City Manager Bowersox. This is a request to resubdivide Lot 275 of Tract Map 4191-R and a residual parcel of former state land located on the east side of Palisades Drive, approximately one-half mile southeast of Silverset Street in the Rancho Arbolitos development. This map would add two lots to the total 975 approved under the Rancho Arbolitos Planned Co, m.unity. To alleviate the excess of lots, the applicant will transfer one lot from the approved and non-recorded 13 lot map of 4191-9R and Lot 324 of Tract 4191-4R. Staff recommends approval. Mayor Higginson read a statement from Ethel Truitt, Rancho Arbolitos resident, in favor of staff recommendation. Speaking in favor of staff recommendation: David Phares, Standard Pacific of San Diego, 7290 Clairemont Mesa Boulevard, San Diego, requested revisions to conditions of approval requiring development review or minor development review prior to issuance of building permit, and transfer of ownership prior to approval of final map. City Manager Bowersox stated that since the transfer of ownership has already occurred, this condition could be deleted; and since a development review was previously approved for the Palisades, a condition that development shall occur in conformance with Development Review 86-10 would be appropriate. Motion by Councilmember Kruse, seconded by Councilmember Brannon, to close the public hearing, and adopt Planning Resolution No. P-90-07 entitled, "A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Poway, California, Approving Tentative Parcel Map 89-18, Assessor's Parcel Number 317-050-27, 28," as amended. Motion carried 4-1, with Councilmember Emery voting "no." ITEM 5 TRAFFIC CONTROL AT THE INTERSECTION OF CARRIAGE ROAD AND ROBISON BOULEVARD City Manager Bowersox stated that at the October 17, 1989 City Council meeting, Council directed staff to refer consideration of an all-way stop at the inter- section of Carriage Road and Robison Boulevard to the Traffic Safety Committee. Based on analysis by Engineering and review by the Traffic Safety Committee, staff recommends no controls be established at this time and that staff re- evaluate the intersection upon completion of the condominium project to the east of Carriage Road. Motion by Councilmember Emery, seconded by Councilmember Goldsmith, to approve staff recommendation. Motion carried unanimously. 3635 Page 4 - CITY OF POWAY - January 23, 1990 ITEM 6 BALLOT MEASURE FOR DIRECT ELECTION OF MAYOR Introduction by City Manager Bowersox. At the April 6, 1989 workshop meeting to identify goals and objectives for the coming year, the Council discussed the possibility of a ballot measure which would provide for the direct election of the Mayor. Since incorporation, the Mayor has been selected from the Councilmembers. City Attorney Eckis reported on the powers granted to a general law city by the Constitution and statutes of the State of California. As an alternative to a Council appointed Mayor, the electors of the City may approve a measure which would provide for the direct election of the Mayor, for either a two or four- year term. The ballot measure could not increase or alter the powers of a Mayor. The City Council would have to consent to granting additional powers to the Mayor and could revoke its consent at any time. If the directly elected Mayor measure was adopted by the voters in June, the Mayor would be first elected on the November 1990 ballot. If the City Council determines to place a measure on the June ballot for the direct election of the Mayor, staff reco. m.ends the Council direct the City Attorney to prepare ballot documents for review by the Council on February 20, 1990. Council discussion included a perceived desire by the public for a directly elected Mayor; continuity and leadership role with regional organizations; the fact that one incumbent, Councilmember Kruse, has already announced he will not be running for reelection in November; and a short time frame for nonincumbent candidates to gather support and organize campaign committees. Motion by Councilmember Kruse, seconded by Councilmember Emery, to direct the City Attorney to prepare ballot documents for a directly elected Mayor with a four-year term for review by the Council during February, 1990. Motion carried 4-1, with Mayor Higginson voting "no." ITEM 17 CITY MANAGER ITEMS City Manager Bowersox announced that the first baby born to a Poway resident at Pomerado Hospital for 1990 and recipient of a $100 Savings Bond was Brianna Lynn Flud, born January 2, 1990 at 12:47 p.m., to parents Christopher and Denise Flud. 3636 Page 5 - CITY OF POWAY - January 23, 1990 ITEM 18 CITY ATTORNEY ITEMS City Attorney Eckis requested a closed session pursuant to discuss performance of employee, and that Council find that a closed session should be held under Government Code §54954.2, in that the need has arisen within the past 72 hours. Motion by Councilmember Brannon, seconded by Councilmember Emery, to find that a closed session should be held as recommended by the City Attorney. Motion carried unanimously. CITY COUNCIL-INITIATED ITEMS 20. Councilmember Emery requested a status report on low sodium lights for shopping center parking lots. 21.
