ThiE report revises and supersedes the report provided to the City Council at the meeting of August 4, 1993, regarding the pla ement of STOP signs on Pinedale Road. The actions proposed by the attached revised Resolution are summarized on Exhibit 1. F1;V he report previously distributed to the City Council ecommended certain the addition of certain STOP signs which ere not shown on the approved signing and striping plan for ract 4342. Subsequent to the writing of that report it was iscovered that the Signing and Striping plan was in error in hat it did not include a STOP sign required by Resolution o. 88 -507 which designated all of the STOP intersections in hat Tract.

STOP signs should my be placed at an intersection when the nature and number f turning movements indicates a need for controlling otential conflicts. 10 he Tuscany HOA also asked that STOP signs be installed for 11 four legs of the intersection of Pinedale and Clearwood. t is the view of staff that a four -way STOP is not required t this location and that Clearwood should be remain a hrough street as originally proposed by Resolution #88 -507.

It was the conclusion of taff that the majority of traffic movements at this ntersection are movements which do not create points of onflict. Most of the traffic at this intersection will be outh -to -east left turns and west -to -north right turns.
