13. A Resolution Approving an All-Way Stop Control at the Intersection of Martincoit Road and Stone Canyon Road
City Engineer (via teleconference) Melody Rocco presented the item along with a PowerPoint presentation. She stated that staff received a request along with a petition to install an All Way stop control at the intersection of Stone Canyon and Martincoit Rd. The petition met City requirements, and an engineering analysis of the intersection was completed. This same intersection had been previously analyzed at the request of Council in 2013 based upon concerns of speeding identified in the 2013 Engineering and Traffic survey. In 2013 and 2014 staff brought forward recommendations supported by the Traffic Safety Committee to install an All-Way Stop Control. The Council did not approve the recommendation but rather directed staff to analyze traffic calming measures. Restriping was completed, additional signage added, pavement legends and a flashing beacon with warning signs were installed. Ms. Rocco added that a new speed survey and traffic counts were taken· in 2021, and conditions were found to support the California Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices guidelines for "May Conditions" to install a stop sign due to their classifications of equal traffic volume, similar speed, and sight distance. The Traffic Safety Committee again voted to support the installation of an All-Way Stop Control.
The following speakers submitted email correspondence in opposition to the All-Way Stop Control; Ted Reynolds, Gary Holden, Bob Shutter, Archie Pavek, Jerome Markus, Nikki Frampton, Jill Underwood, Jerry Markus and Ron Fisher.
The following speakers submitted email correspondence in support to the All-Way Stop Control; James Ludwig, Gayle Fetsch, Mike Kelsey, Alicia Flohs, Tim Vanderveen, Judith LaBarbera, Jessica Studarus, Anonymous, Joyce Hoffman, Diana Berti, Tammy Trust, Kay Williams, Robyn Weller, Nicole Callaway, Melicent Tandra, Kerry Spark, Laura and Ray Walton, Ellen Kohls, Pam and Raj Kirpalani, Cathy Bishop, Janice Schock, Stephanie Dunnick, Nate Northup, Chuck Williams, Peter Hui, Robert Li, Pete Sievers and Grace Lieverman.

Staff confirmed having no reported accidents at this intersection in the last eight years.
In response to Council inquiry, Captain Dave Schaller, Sheriff's Department provided an explanation of a "call for service record".

City Engineer Melody Rocco (via teleconference) presented the item along with a PowerPoint presentation. She stated that staff received a request along with a petition to allow parking on the west side of old Pomerado Rd in front of Bette Bendixen Park. With the use of a map, she provided location details. She noted that staff conducted research and completed a field assessment of the area and it was concluded that the Sheriff's Department made the original request to approve a no-parking zone which City Council adopted by resolution in 1986. It has been determined that current road conditions and traffic patterns make it accessible to park in front of the park. In 2021, staff findings were presented to the Traffic Safety Committee who voted unanimously to support staffs recommendation to remove current parking restrictions.
No speakers.
Councilmember Frank stated that the park parking lot is shared with the VFW and noted that this solution for adding street parking will help parking concerns in the community.
