Commissioner Nagler: But based on what you said, it's going from maybe you wait ...even the combination of the two may result in waiting one or two additional light cycles, right? Tassano: Yeah, so if we look at it from a small perspective, when I was saying, as you're driving back in and that development's there and you get one more car per cycle. So maybe when you pull up in line, instead of being the third car, you're the fourth car. That's almost like not noticeable, right? So, I'm the fourth car and I waited an extra 2 seconds before I actually got through that intersection. The combination of the two, you would be 3 cars back. Maybe you would notice it a little bit more instead of being the fourth car you're now the sixth car or the seventh car. So you would start to experience over time, as the City builds out, oh, this takes a little bit longer to get through here and what I want to make sure is that even though it takes you a little bit longer, you want to get through on that first light. If you guys don't stop at that red after the solid green then that's what we're going for and that's what this continues to be. Chair Ritter: So this is a workshop, so would a traffic study be included in the planned proposal with this? Tassano: Yes, they submitted a traffic study for our review last year in 2015 and then we're going to have them make some changes because they changed their site plans and some of their parking things, and we'll get to those later. We have some other analysis that we can do. We can have them add in ... actually the Housing Element was another report, and it would be updated and I will have some other data for you as well. Commissioner Brown: We heard the gentleman up here say he would be taking the bus and I don't want to focus just on car trips. How convenient is the bus route for this development? Tassano: Route 10, the V -route which is what I would call it— that's pretty much the main route there and has been the entire time the LAVTA has been existence. It runs down Stanley Boulevard. I don't think you could choose a better location, even LAVTA that's going through and adjusting their routes and trying to streamline them and make them more efficient; they have taken out a lot of Dublin routes and other routes that just kind of run around the three cities and aren't really efficient, but Route 10 stays and it stays with the 15 minutes and it's their one route people are on. So I don't have any concerns that this will continue to be there. Commissioner O'Connor: Would they change their stopping location based on the new development? Tassano: They could. So their current stop in the westbound direction coming into town is actually right there at Stanley and Old Stanley. The bus stop is actually in the right turn lane. If you were coming from McDonald's and driving into town and you wanted to turn right to go onto Old Stanley like you were going to Amador High School, that right turn pocket, the back end of that right turn pocket is actually the LAVTA bus stop. I'm not entirely positive where the eastbound stop is at. I'm not sure there's a pull out, so that could be a potential improvement that's included. Chair Ritter: Okay. Thank you. Commissioner Allen: Okay, so what's on my mind is that I'm thinking about the application we had recently for Ponderosa Homes near Centerpointe Church. Centerpointe Church was part of the Ironwood development when Ironwood was developed and approved. The PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES, April 27, 2016 Page 23 of 43
