Hagen: Correct, K Court is the newest part of the project and that's where the Sunflower Hill project was, so this was the first time we really discussed it. In looking at it, staff does believe it does need some type of sidewalk/pedestrian access there for K Court. Commissioner Brown: Okay, yes, that would be a good improvement. You might want to consider whether or not you want... you're kind of encouraging people to cut through central green into the park space so I can see why you're concerned. Maybe a cross walk or something might help ease or identify, but you're going to have people crossing over I Street and I guess the other part of B Street between Central Green and the Tree Park. But other than that, the only other observation I had was that Nevada Street where it comes into First Street seems a little off kilter considering the opposing Old Bernal, or sorry, is that Old Stanley? The center lines might make it a little difficult for people trying to cross over to a jog just based on the angle. I'm going to trust the traffic engineers and designers better than me. Hagen: Yes, that is something that we're still working on. The center lines don't match up right now. The plans that we have don't show the full complete design of that intersection. Most likely, there's going to be intersection improvements on the opposite side of Stanley on the Old Stanley side to have a better transition, but right now, that's something that we're going to look at as we get further with the incremental plans. Commissioner Brown: Okay, perfect. Commissioner Nagler: I agree with comments made and have just a couple of questions. First, when you're driving or walking down Stanley Boulevard, what will be your view of this neighborhood? Hagen: Basically your view is going to be something similar to this. Going down Stanley, you will have the homes that are going to front Stanley. On Stanley, it's going to be two - story homes. Commissioner Nagler: So the homes will front on Stanley and there will be a green space and then a sidewalk as there is today... okay. Hagen: The homes on Stanley, actually they have a little bit larger setbacks than the rest of the homes within the development. This one here is supposed to represent the entry street. The entry streets typically I believe have about 8- to 15 -foot setbacks on these entry streets, but on Stanley they can go up to 30 -foot setbacks of the homes. So it will have a little bit more setback. Also, they're going to have private picket fencing around the front yards as well to create that private space. Commissioner Nagler: So as cars are coming up Stanley going eastbound in front of this neighborhood, people are going to be putting on their brakes and turning into their driveways. Hagen: There are no driveways facing on Stanley. The driveways are all on the back side. Commissioner Nagler: Oh, that's right, Okay, I got that. And then one quick question and maybe this is already addressed, but your comment about K Street and D Street in your staff analysis, you're specifically referring to the lack of sidewalks?
