The four -lot project will preserve the existing trees adjoining Foothill Road by the channel <br /> thereby maintaining the appearance of this portion of the site facing Foothill Road. To do <br /> this, however, means that the 180 -foot to 200 -foot section of the bicycle lane in this area <br /> of the site will not be constructed; the other sections of the bicycle lane will be <br /> constructed along the remaining sections of the project's Foothill Road frontage. On the <br /> short section of Foothill Road by the channel, bicycles and cars will use the same travel <br /> lane. <br /> The Planning Commission had directed staff and the applicant to preserve the channel, <br /> the trees by the channel, and to extend the bicycle lane along the project's entire Foothill <br /> Road frontage. Since the Planning Commission's previous direction could not be <br /> completely achieved, staff brought the revised project back to the Planning Commission <br /> for the Commission's review and recommendation.
