139 Mr. Naggar stated that with regarding to Condition 9 - TJKM completed a report at the request of the Planning Department and have allocated certain costs. He advised The Taubman Company asked Barton Ashmann, their traffic consultants, to review the report. They feel that Stoneridge Mall Center has made street improvements necessary to accommodate traffic to the Center and should not be required to pay for additional improvements that are required for other developments. Mr. Naggar feels they have paid their fair share already to full build out of the Center, since the City assured them the full 1,500,000 sq. ft. center would be included in all subsequent traffic reports, with any future new development to be responsible for any street improvements required to service the Center. With regard to the widening/modifying of Foothill-Canyon Way, Mr. Naggar stated this area will be offices instead of residential as first proposed; he felt the office projects should be burdened with the intersection widening, not the Shopping Center. Relative to the restriping of Foothill Road, Mr. Naggar stated they asked that it be striped when it was originally constructed. The City and County felt that four lane stripping was appropriate at that time but the ultimate width to six lanes would be striped when warranted, and that the City or County would restrip when needed. He stated it does not seem appropriate to burden the Center with the restriping of Foothill Road. Mr. Naggar stated that with regard to to Foothill-Laurel Creek signalization, it was not warranted in the 1972 report. Additional land uses have created the need for the signal; he felt their development should not be burdened at this point. Mayor Mercer asked what percentage the various hotels and Kaiser have paid into street improvements. Mr. Swift advised that these three improvements are shown to be required by new development in the Stoneridge area, all previous improvement costs were paid for by assessment district. Councilmember Brandes stated that the County paid for one-half of the improvements. Mr. Naggar stated he did not feel it is appropriate to install sidewalks at this time until it can be determined if and where sidewalks are needed; he would rather see more grass than sidewalks that are not used. Councilmember Mohr stated she has received telephone calls from Kaiser employees and patients requesting that sidewalks be installed. She is also receiving calls from the Mozart building regarding the same issue. Mr. Naggar stated they are willing to put in sidewalks where people walk, and these can be added later when it is determined the best location for the sidewalks. - 15 - 9-6-88
