The preliminary review and formal applications were referred to the EBRPD for comments. The EBRPD has continuously requested the staging area be located closer to Dublin Canyon Road and include Parcel C as part of the land being dedicated to the EBRPD. The following are detailed comments from the Park District regarding the land dedication: 1. Staging area: The location, as currently proposed, presents significant management concerns, primarily for public safety and visibility. The staging area is sited too far from Dublin Canyon Road and Park District staff would prefer it be located adjacent to Dublin Canyon Road (where Lots 32 & 33 are located). Furthermore, the District would like to see an enhanced entry design at Dublin Canyon Road leading to the staging area. District staff noted the proposed driveway to the staging area is larger than shown in previous designs, though is concerned this is still not sufficient. 2. Long term ownership and management of the creek corridor: There is a significant portion of Devaney Creek proposed to be retained in private ownership by the Lester family (Parcel C). The District would like permanent protection of the creek corridor and have it be properly managed. The District needs clarification regarding the protection and maintenance of Devaney Creek. 3. Visual impacts: The District is concerned about viewshed impacts from Lots 5, 6, & 7 on the southern portion of the project site. The District needs clarification regarding the possible visibility of Lots 5, 6, & 7 from Pleasanton Ridge and/or the staging area. The District requests a thorough visual analysis be completed for CEQA purposes and/or encourage the City approval process to consider views from Pleasanton Ridge trails and the proposed staging area. 4. Street A trail connection clarification: There are discrepancies with the development proposal for trail access/connection. There is a "new access" trail, adjacent to Lot 5, on the proposed EBRPD land for staff and land management only. However, the same access point is marked as, "Future Trail Connection" on other plan sheets. the District would like clarification on the access type and permitted uses of the access from the Street A cul-de-sac. EBRPD has also conveyed the following advisory information and comments to the City and Ponderosa Homes, should the project be approved as proposed: • The developer will need to establish a long-term funding mechanism such as a Community Facilities District to cover the staging area and road maintenance, fire and public safety. • Provision for access easements for emergency and public access through the proposed development project area and guaranteed emergency vehicle access maintenance association (EVMA) and public access along the staging area access road. • If any conservation easements are required on the open space dedication parcel, the developer will need to establish an endowment to provide for long-term maintenance and stewardship of the conservation easement area. • The Park District, in their Pleasanton Ridge Land Use Plan, indicated existing and proposed trails that would be adjacent to the proposed Lester property (see Figure 16). The public would be able to park at the staging area and immediately access the park, once the trails are constructed.
