objecting to the annexation. Since Mr. Johnson does not own the prop- erty he purports to represent, Mrs. Stratton requested that Mr. Johnson set up a meeting with property owners Dr. Elerr and Mr. Cade. Mr. Aguilera continued he then called Mr. Johnson several times during the week and was informed by Mr. Johnson that he was waiting for a re- sponse from Belco regarding a settlement offer; however, Mr. Bill Callazo, of Belco, indicated that Mr. Johnson's offer was unacceptable. Mr. Aguilera stated that Mr. Johnson then indicated he would continue to oppose the annexation. Mr. Aguilera said that Mr. Johnson also indicat- ed he would set up a meeting with the property owners for August 6, 1991. Mr. Aguilera referred to a new map for that area, indicating changes made in the street. Mr. Aguilera said this is the best location for the street. Mr. Aguilera concluded since the road has been dedicated to the City and will serve as access to residences located within the City, Staff recommends approval of Resolution No. R-66-91, initiating proceedings for annexation, LAFCO NO. 2681. Councilman Lofy asked if our City Engineer, Glenn Wilson, had stated this would be in the best interests of the City. Mr. Aguilera responded yes. Mr. Larry Johnson, 11930 Reche Canyon Road, stated he appreciated the meetings with the City, however, he still feels the location of this street next to an existing street is a dangerous situation. Mr. Johnson said the City Attorney stated there could be other locations for this street. Mr. Johnson said he is fearful for his family using this street. City Attorney Edwards said he has been misquoted and that he made no such statement to Mr. Johnson. Dr. Bryon Eller, 25983 Brookmere, Loma Linda, spoke about the annexa- tion of Peppertree Lane, stating he is one of the owners of this street and the traffic is a very bad situation in that area, and he feels this will compound the problem. Dr. Eller said the City Council needs to consider the traffic situation in that area. Mr. Cliff Cade, 11920 Reche Canyon Road, Colton, stated he is the other owner of Peppertree Lane, and the traffic is very bad at that location. Mr. Cade suggested this matter needs more consideration before being passed. Councilman Roman asked what is the alternative to this matter. Community Development Director Aguilera stated a street could be placed in Lot #1, making this lot a street, however, the only problem with that alternative is the street would enter into the Belco Tract and dead-end there. Mr. Aguilera continued when the rest of the area would begin developing, another street would have to be put in, therefore, 7 AUG 6 -1991'
