Option 2 Option 2 proposes the private pedestrian pathway to be located on the south side of Lot 5 (please refer to Exhibit B.1 in Attachment 4) and include an approximately 2,613 square-foot landscaped lot (Parcel A). As previously mentioned, the applicant is agreeable to modify the eastern portion of Parcel A to accommodate two off-street guest parking spaces. The pedestrian walkway for both options would provide access to Vervais Avenue and the Arroyo Green at Main, located on the south side of Vervais Avenue. The Arroyo Green at Main is an undeveloped park and is one of the eight park sites in the Master Plan for the Downtown Parks and Trails System (MPDPTS). The MPDPTS recommends the development of Arroyo Green at Main into a park suitable for a variety of uses (e.g., access to the Arroyo, picnic areas, etc.). Staff notes that the timeline for developing the park is uncertain, but the installation of the pedestrian walkway will provide residents within the development with direct access to this future park. Furthermore, the Community Trails Master Plan, the Pleasanton Pedestrian and Bicycle Master Plan, and the Master Plan for the Downtown Parks and Trails System recommend installing a public trail along the rear of the subject property, near the creek. No matter the option selected by Council, the applicant will be dedicating an easement to the City along the rear of the subject site for the potential public tail that the City would construct on the southernmost portion of the property. With the easement for the City's potential trail along the Arroyo del Valle, retention of the care:aker's house in Option 1 or small planted area on Parcel A in Option 2, the applicant will be providing public amenities in-lieu of a traditional open space area. Private Street A 32-foot wide (curb-to-curb) private street will provide access to the development from Stanley Boulevard. Option 1 The private street will have one internal sidewalk along a portion of Lot 3 that continues to the northern end of Lot 13, ending at Stanley Boulevard. Option 1 would provide 12 on-street guest parking spaces. No parking will be allowed on the southern end of the street to ensure appropriate fire turnaround clearance. Option 2 The private street will have one internal sidewalk that begins on the east side of Lot 1 and extends to the private, pedestrian pathway located on the souti side of Lot 5. Option 2 would provide 10 off-street guest parking spaces, including the two spaces that would be incorporated into Parcel A. Homeowners Association: No matter which option is selected by Council, the applicant will create a homeowners association to own and maintain the development's common areas including private streets and guest parking areas, common utilities, and the pedestrian pathway. The homeowners will maintain their private lots including homes, yards, and driveways. The homeowners association will not be responsible for the Page 9 of 17
