Yee Property and Equus Court Lots The angled driveway and gated access from the Yee property and the Fuller Smathers properties was constructed by a previous owner when the subject property, with most of the area west of Foothill Road, was under Alameda County jurisdiction. With the previous PUD approval, the gate and access driveway were approved to remain as a gated Emergency Vehicle Access (EVA) route. The Equus Court lots (Tract 6275), public street, and cul -de -sac that were originally part of PUD -87 -19 were partially constructed under Parcel Map 3692. The public improvements on Foothill Road required under Tract 6275 were not constructed and the subdivision agreement and improvement bonds have lapsed. Staff discussed with Dr. Yee and Sam Tong, owner of the Tract 6275 lots, a coordinated design plan that will eventually combine the two entrances to their developments to a single entrance with the necessary right /left-turn deceleration /merge lanes to /from Foothill Road. In addition, the new access driveway must provide acceptable lines -of -sight for the future traffic to /from the Merritt property thereby alleviating the need for an additional traffic signal on Foothill Road. Figure 11, below, shows the entire driveway re- alignment plan for Yee and Equus Court. Recommended Gale Location Figure 11: "Preliminary Foothill Road Equus Court Improvements" plan. The plan includes the following: The cul -de -sac for Tract 6275 would remain and will be connected to the private street serving the Yee /Fuller Smathers properties by a private street across Lots 4, 5, and 6 of Tract 6275 located on the approximate 440 -foot to the 460 -foot elevation of Tract 6275. Equus Court will be abandoned from the cul -de -sac to Foothill Road with the Equus Court/Foothill Road street rights -of -way conveyed to Sam Tong, the owner the Tract Item 6.b., PUD- 87- 19 -03M Page 19 of 37 April 28, 2010
