to 1 ) have the option to enter into a subdivision agreement and bond for the improvements
to allow the map to record sooner, enabling the early transfer of the modular home lot to
its current owner; 2) believes the cost to underground for seven or eight new homes will
be inordinate and not result in public benefit, they are working with SDG & E to find an
alternate route and 3) do not concur that their development would trigger the need to
upgrade the two concrete pipes under Creek Road and feel it is unreasonable to expect
their development to correct any deficiency.
The following person was.present wishing to speak.

conditions of approval and stated they were willing to restrict the sale of the lots until the

reflect improvements were needed, the applicant would be responsible for their pro-rata
share only, and should the applicant bring in hard costs for the undergrounding showing
the costs to be prohibitive, Council would review the information and consider modification
of the map.

COMMUNICATION MASTER PLAN
Introduction by City Manager Bowersox. Staff report by Director of Community Services

increasing cost as the City continues to utilize more and more communication applications.
Cities throughout the country are developing communication master plans to implement
their own communication networks to support internal and external applications and to
ensure that future bandwidth needs are met at reasonable costs. In FY 97-98, the City
6644
Page 5 - CITY OF POWAY - June 8, 1999
budgeted funds necessary to do a Communication Master Plan. The plan provides the City
with the framework for planning future projects, coordinating system integration, and
expanding the communication network from linking City departments to include schools,
hospitals, and Caltrans. The master plan outlines the process for the development and
implementation of a fiber-optic network backbone. The system will use an open
architecture framework to be compatible with other systems and will guide the City into the
next generation of digital communication information systems for the transmission of voice,
data, and video.
A brief view-graph and verbal presentation was made by Frank Watanabe of DKS
Associates covering the Master Plan. Mr. Watanabe also responded to questions of the
Council.

and provided an overview of the Right-of-Way Management Goals included in the Plan.

ITEM 6 (1503-02)
SANDAG
REGIONAL HOUSING SHARE ALLOCATION
Introduction by City Manager Bowersox. This report is a discussion of SANDAG'S
proposed regional housing share allocation altematives. The item was continued from the
May 18, 1999 meeting to allow staff to reconcile the changes in the regional share
allocation alternative tables distributed by SANDAG. Staff report by Development Services
Director Fritz. At the March 26, 1999 SANDAG Board meeting, the Board voted to send
the regional share allocation alternatives issue concerning very Iow and Iow income
housing units back to the Housing Element Advisory Committee (HEAC) for
reconsideration. This was due to concerns by several jurisdictions that their communities
6645
Page 6 - CITY OF POWAY - June 8, 1999
already have a disproportionate share of lower income housing units in comparison to
others in the region and that the regional share should be more equitably distributed.
At the HEAC meeting of Apdl 22, 1999, SANDAG staff provided the Committee members
for discussion a table which identified the three allocation alternatives. At that meeting
Councilmember Rexford voiced the City of Poway's preference for Alternative 1 first and
secondly, Alternative 3 as a reasonable compromise. The HEAC voted 10 for and 7
against to return to the SANDAG Board a recommendation supporting Alternative 2. On
April 23, 1999, the SANDAG Board accepted the May 1999 Draft Regional Housing Needs
Statement for distribution, including four new tables that address the three regional
allocation alternatives. Distribution to the jurisdictions was made on May 3, 1999 with a 30-
day review period provided. On June 10, 1999, the HEAC will review the comments
received on the allocations with a selection of the share allocation alternative by the
SANDAG Board slated for Friday, June 25, 1999.
The allocation alternative tables distribution by SANDAG on May 3 were inadvertently
changed from the regional table discussed at the April 22 HEAC meeting. Specifically,
Alternative 2 (406 units for Poway) and Alternative 3 (338 units for Poway) have been
reversed in the current tables. The alternatives are now identified as follows: Alternative
1 (273 units), Alternative 2 (338 units) and Alternative 3 (406 units).
General discussion ensued.
Motion by Mayor Cafagna, seconded by Deputy Mayor Emery, to direct staff to draft a letter
for the Mayor's signature, stating the position of the City of Poway, rather than accepting
the SANDAG alternatives. Motion carried unanimously.
ITEM 7 (1503-02)
SANDAG
PRELIMINARY 2020 CITIES/COUNTY FORECAST
Mayor Cafagna stated that staff had requested a continuance of this item regarding
SANDAG's Preliminary 2020 Cities/County Forecast Land Use Alternatives to June 15,
1999 to allow time to complete the agenda report.
Motion by Councilmember Higginson, seconded by Deputy Mayor Emery, to continue the
item to June 15, 1999. Motion carried unanimously.
