Mr. Dolan then displayed the site development plan and pointed out the valley or bowl in the middle of the site, which is the area where all the development is proposed, off of Lund Ranch Road with a series of three different cul -de -sacs that extend off of the new extension of Lund Ranch Road. He described the project development plan consisting of 50 units, 48 of which are production homes and two custom homes on two very large estate lots. He noted that the developed portion of the site would be 33.8 acres, and 160.9 acres would be preserved as permanent open space dedicated to the City; there is one connection to Lund Ranch Road with no other proposed street connections to Middleton Place, to Sunset Creek Lane, or to the Foley property. He indicated that there are three different building plans that range in square footage from 4,100 square feet to about 4,500 square feet, one and two stories in height with four and five bedrooms. PROJECT ISSUES Road Access Mr. Dolan stated that this is the biggest issue related to the project and has been the subject of the most controversy. He indicated that the developer proposed access only through Lund Ranch Road, and a lot of the discussion related to whether or not that would be the only access. He noted, however, that the Environmental Impact Report (EIR) did analyze a total of eight alternatives, which was narrowed down at the Work Session to three alternatives, which seem to be scenarios which frame the range of realistic possibilities for access: Scenario 1. This is the proposed project. The EIR identified that the trip generation from the project would be 550 trips. In this scenario, all the trips would all go out Lund Ranch Road and split out to Independence Road. All of the project traffic would go on Ventana Hills. Scenario 3. This scenario has a double connection, and the 550 trips would be split between Lund Ranch Road and Sunset Creek Lane. The numbers are estimates based on staff's observation from other people in the area and which way they head from this area when going to work or other places. The choices made by the people who move in obviously might be different from these assumptions. Scenario 6. This basically identified the Bonde Ranch agreement which was created as a part of the Bonde Ranch approval process. It basically promised the Ventana Hills neighborhood that there would be no connection to Lund Ranch Road, and everything on the Lund Ranch II property would ultimately be connected to either Sunset Creek Lane or Sycamore Creek Way. In addition, the traffic from Middleton Place, which currently goes out through Ventana Hills, would be re- routed on roads that have already been constructed but connect to project roads in Lund Ranch II; and that would be sent out the other way as well. So all 550 trips, plus 140 trips from Middleton Place, would end up on Sunset Creek Lane, and then they would have some choices off of Sunset Creek Lane or down to Sycamore Creek Way.
