and an emergency access road connecting the southern terminus of Old Pomerado
Road with Scripps Poway Parkway.
Speaking in opposition to the project:
Tony Allos, 11981 Old Pomerado Road, stated a pedestrian bridge is
unnecessary and what is needed are street lights.
City Manager Bowersox stated that the pedestrian bridge will have lights on it,
but most of the input from that area has been that they do not want street
lights.
Motion by Councilmember Callery, seconded by Councilmember Cafagna, to close the
public hearing and issue a Negative Declaration. Motion carried 3-0 with
Councilmembers Emery and Rexford absent.

DRAFT BUSINESS SURVEY
Staff report by City Manager Bowersox. Staff has prepared a draft of a survey
to be sent to 1,100 businesses that have business certificates. This draft has
been circulated to the Chamber of Commerce for comment. Staff requests approval
of the questions and appropriation of $8,298 for SANDAG to distribute and
tabulate the surveys.
Speaking in favor of staff recommendation:
Jay Goldby, 13244 Aubrey, President of the Chamber of Commerce, recommended
home-based businesses be included and requested a "What can the Chamber of
Commerce do to help the business community in Poway?" question.
Director of Planning Services Wright-Quastler stated the response from home-based
businesses had been so low in the 1988 survey that staff did not propose to
5860
Page 5 - CITY OF POWAY - July 9, 1996
include them because of the additional cost involved. She also requested the
amount of appropriation be increased to $10,000 if the additional question is
included.
Mayor Higginson suggested that home-based businesses that are members of the
Chamber be included in the survey.
Motion by Councilmember Cafagna, seconded by Councilmember Callery to approve the
draft survey with the addition of one question requested by the Chamber of
Commerce, appropriate $10,000 from the General Fund; direct staff to enter into
a letter of agreement with SANDAG to distribute the survey to all businesses that
have business certificates and home-based businesses that are members of the

absent.

appeal of Minor Development Review 96-20 from the calendar. Motion carried 3-0
with Councilmembers Emery and Rexford absent.

ITEM 20 (602-01 #830)
AGREEMENT FOR PARKLAND DEDICATION CREDIT
OLD COACH GOLF ESTATES, TENTATIVE TRACT MAP 89-13R
Staff report by City Manager Bowersox. Environmental Development, Inc.,
developer of the Old Coach Golf Estates, has requested 100% credit for parkland
dedication or in-lieu fee requirements by virtue of the construction of a public
golf course. The Municipal Code allows credit up to 50% for private open space
and up to 100% for facilities that are identified in the Park and Recreation
Element of the General Plan. Staff does not believe that the section regarding
100% credit applies to a golf course with public access and recommends 50% credit
be given.
Speaking in opposition to staff recommendation:
Allen Haynie, 701 "B" Street, attorney for Environmental Development, who
agreed if the golf course was ever converted to a private use, the payment of 50%
would be due and payable.
Motion by Mayor Higginson, seconded by Councilmember Callery to approve 100%
credit and instructed staff to clarify the Municipal Code sections. Motion
carried 3-0 with Councilmembers Emery and Rexford absent.
ADOOURNMENT
Mayor Higginson adjourned the meeting at 8:15 p.m. on motion by Councilmember
Callery, seconded by Councilmember Cafagna.
