ATM's and that most of the traffic would be walk -up. He indicated that they had considered this and that if it was not needed, it would be turned into a landscaped area. John Moore stated that he is a member of the Walnut Hills Homeowners Association which borders the development on one side and that Mr. Trobbe reached out to the association and gave a presentation; concerns were addressed and modifications were made to the plan. He agreed that Fairgrounds parking could be an issue. He noted that developing the crosswalk from Bernal Corporate Park to the development is important but that creating a secondary crosswalk which would be closer to the Fairgrounds would invite more people to park in the lot. He added that their homeowners development has a couple of round - about's and that he has witnessed people driving around them doing some pretty amazing things. He inquired if there could be some additional signs to educate people on how they should properly negotiate a round - about, which would be helpful because he has seen drivers making a U -turn in the wrong direction in the round - about. Mr. Moore noted that Condition No. 18.b. of the conditions of approval states that tenant improvement activities taking place within a completely enclosed structure shall be limited to certain hours and that contractors operating past 5:00 p.m. shall only use the Bernal Avenue driveway to enter and exit the site. He requested that it be made part of the plan that traffic solely use the Bernal Avenue exit, which their homeowners and neighbors would be appreciative of. Mr. Trobbe echoed these considerations and stated that it would not be good for construction traffic to come up Sunol Boulevard, make a left at Valley Avenue, and then come through those round - about's. He added that they would also be going right past Hearst Elementary School, which would not be a good thing. Mr. Trobbe concluded by stating that the project is tremendous and would be an asset to the City. He then thanked the Commissioners for their time.
