The News previews the November election for four of five City Council seats with ten candidates. Candidates are listed alphabetically and will rotate. The deadline for submissions is noon Monday and questions can be emailed or faxed to the city editor.
Richard Hill Adams urges support for Whispering Hills citing a city high school and improvements to Ambuehl Elementary funded by the developer. He opposes Home Depot over traffic, supports an RV park as a revenue source, and notes potential bond funding to ease traffic. The advisory Measure DD asks if the Redevelopment Agency should sell 13.22 acres near San Juan Creek to Home Depot for $9 million.
Council member Diane Bathgate notes potential city benefit from Home Depot project while stating her conflict as a planning consultant contractor for CUSD. She supports putting the question to voters to decide if the property should be sold to Home Depot and pledges to uphold the voters' wishes.
Jack Campbell states the key issue is building a high school in the oldest city in Orange County. He calls it ludicrous the city lacks its own school and notes traffic would route from La Pata via Ortega. He says San Juan Creek Road won’t be extended or used for school entrances.
Wyatt Hart supports the San Juan Capistrano high school project after four years of review. He cites traffic mitigation concerns on Camino Laconague and suggests RV storage as a more dependable revenue source while urging more planning before a yes vote. He notes the parcel is owned by city residents and that he will follow citizens’ direction at the ballot.
David Swerdlin contends for approving San Juan Hills High School and 175 homes with new arts and sports facilities and 800000 dollars for Ambuehl Elementary upgrades. He says 98 percent of traffic uses La Pata Ortega to protect neighborhoods. He also opposes a Home Depot for preserving the small town equestrian lifestyle and tax base.
Michael Eggers as planning commissioner urges fewer homes and larger buffers for a hometown high school in San Juan Capistrano. He opposes selling taxpayer land to Home Depot and votes against Measure CD and Measure CC citing traffic, local business impact, and town character.
Next week the paper asks candidates two questions. Q1 asks support for the southern Foothill 241 Toll Road extension and preferred alignment. Q2 asks what should be done with land at Camino Capistrano and Junipero Serra Road, offering four options. Respondents may use up to 120 words total, with deadline noon Monday via ktokarski ocregister.com or fax 454-7354.
