URBAN DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE AGENDA SUMMARY REPORT Wednesday, April 10, 1996 Page -2- B. STATUS ON FREEWAYS A written report was distributed to the Committee. Staff is moving forward with purchasing right-of-way property for the Kern River freeway. As of August 1, 1996, the award and possession of the condemned property for the Coffee Road grade separation will be completed. Staff can proceed with construction shortly after possession. In June asphalt will be laid along Calloway and Old River Bridge. The road will open at the end of June or the first of July. Staff will send another letter to the County asking for their cooperation with this project. 6. NEW BUSINESS A. TRANSPORTATION ALTERNATIVES FOR METRO BAKERSFIELD There was an informal presentation made on March 13, 1996. This item was not reviewed again at this meeting. B. STATUS OF FIRE SERVICES Chief Kelly gave an overview of fire station locations. He indicated that growth of the southwest area may change the location of a City-proposed site where we currently own property at Buena Vista and Stockdale. The Chief also suggested that the area around Rosedale and Hageman may be an appropriate future site as growth expands in that area. Castle and Cooke has about 700 acres that will remain agricultural land for the next five to 10 years, which can essentially have an impact on a fire station site in the area. The County has approved building a station at Brimhall and Renfro. If the County proceeds with this site, there would be no need for the City to construct a station at Buena Vista and Stockdale because the stations would be too close together. The Committee indicated that a station at Stockdale and Allen would be acceptable because it would protect City residents whereas the County station would not. The Committee suggested that a message be sent to the County regarding their proposed site not being adequate. The item will be agendized for the next Urban Development Committee meeting as well as the next Intergovernmental Relations Committee meeting. (Approved with correction referencing Rosedale and Heath as a possible future fire station site.) C. TRAFFIC IMPACT FEES UPDATE At the April 4, 1996 Planning Commission meeting, three people were in opposition to the amended ordinance. Staff provided the Committee with a written report on this item. The major concern seems to be the effect on industrial and commercial development. The BIA has indicated they do not want the additional collectors URBAN DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE AGENDA SUMMARY REPORT Wednesday, April 10, 1996 Page -3- added to the list and expressed problems with two items already on the list -- Casa Loma and Mt.
