Ranch Road. The applicant and the Sycamore Heights/Bridal Creek neighborhoods prefer this connection. 2. Connection to Middleton Place PUD-90-185 (Bonde) required the section of Livingston Way between Braxton Place and Middleton Place to be converted from an existing 28-foot wide public street to a gated emergency vehicle access (EVA), with Middleton Placeb then connected to the Lund Ranch II development. Implementing this requirement would mean that Middleton Place owners would no longer be able to use Livingston Way to access Hopkins Way and Independence Drive as they have been doing for over the past 15 to 20 years, but would have to use the public streets on the Lund Ranch II, Sycamore Heights, and Bridal Creek developments. The proposed project does not include a street connection to Middleton Place. The Middleton Place connection, if it were developed, would be located on the project site below the 25-percent limit line and ridgeline setback lines of Measure PP. Several Middleton Place owners, however, want to maintain Livingston Way as a through street to Hopkins Way and Independence Drive and have submitted PUD-90-18-07M, the PUD Minor Modification that, if approved, would retain Livingston Way as a public through street. No City action has been taken on the proposed modification, and the City's position is pending the City Council's action on PUD-25. 3. Connection to Sunset Creek Lane The street connection from Lund Ranch II to the Sycamore Heights development is opposed by the residents of the Sycamore Heights/Bridle Creek developments. PUD-97-12 (Sycamore Heights) dedicated the entire public right-of-way for Sunset Creek Lane to the west boundary of the Lund Ranch II property; a portion of Sunset Creek Lane was constructed in the right-of-way, and the remaining right-of-way is covered by a public road easement. As required by PUD-97-12, Sunset Creek Lane may only be extended to provide the connection to the Lund Ranch II property. Signs have been installed at the end of Sunset Creek Lane stating: "Future Extension of Sunset Creek Way." Construction of the street connection from the Lund Ranch II development to Sunset Creek Lane is not required to reduce traffic congestion or to provide a second street access for emergency vehicles. The street connection to Sunset Creek Lane would cross a jurisdictional stream and would cross 25-percent slopes covered by Measure PP. The residents of the Ventana Hills neighborhood and those living on Junipero Street support this connection as they feel the City should honor its previous commitments and reduce traffic on Junipero Street, particularly to protect pedestrian safety. 5 Exhibit 0 of Attachment 8: Ordinance 1509, PUD-90-18, Condition 2.b.13, p. 5 of Exhibit B, Conditions of Approval. 6 Middleton Place ends opposite the Lund Ranch II property's northwest property line in the approximate area between the proposed development's Lot 4 and Lot 5.
