the fence design standards of the Specific Plan. In fact, the Bozorgzad PUD development plan shows a solid, six-foot tall fence adjoining the sidewalk. Because the wall/fence is located on the Bozorgzad property, it would not be part of this application. It appears, however, that there remain unresolved issues including the location of the public sidewalk with respect to the Bozorgzads' property - the Bozorgzads want the sidewalk moved farther into the subject property; the location of the previously mentioned solid wall/fence in re- lation to the Bozorgzads' existing driveway - the Bozorgzads want a minimum three-foot sepa- ration between the relocated wall/fence and their driveway; relocating the existing eight-inch water line - the water line must be relocated to accommodate the relocated wall/fence; and the payment of funds between the applicants and the Bozorgzads. Regarding the sidewalk's loca- tion, the Bozorgzads believe that Condition No. 8 of PUD-99-02 provides the ability to revisit the sidewalk's location even though there is an existing easement for the sidewalk's location. The location of the public sidewalk between Sycamore Terrace and San Carlos Way shown on the proposed development plan is consistent with the North Sycamore Specific Plan, reflects the alignment shown on the PUD-99~02, and is located in the existing easement created for that pur- pose. As previously stated, staff would support Mr. Bozorgzad replacing his existing open fence with a solid wall/fence. In staff's opinion, the solid wall/fence would effectively screen his property from the view of pedestrians on the sidewalk. Based upon responses to the City's public hearing notices, covering the entire San Carlos Way/ San Juan Way/San Luis Court/Sonoma Drive neighborhoods, the majority of the comments re- ceived by staff support the sidewalk. Gail and Joel Olney (5855 San Juan Way), Jeff and Kristi May (5833 San Juan Way), Jill and Tony Battilega (5836 San Juan Way), Larry and Suzan Dingman (387 Sycamore Road), Linda Walton (5862 San Juan Way), and Shareef Mahdavi (5708 Hidden Creek Court) support the sidewalk. Hossein and Mojgan Bozorgzad (6056 Syca- more Terrace) and Steven Liu and Jenny Wong (5816 San Carlos Way) oppose the sidewalk. Tom and Mary Greene (386 Sycamore Road) did not comment on the sidewalk. Given the ex- tent of the past record of public comment on the public sidewalk, staff did not consider it to be necessary to hold a neighborhood meeting. PSP-08 Deleting the sidewalk connection from this project would require the City's approval of PSP-08, an amendment to the North Sycamore Specific Plan. The amendment is provided so that should the Planning Commission determine that the sidewalk is not necessary, that it could be deleted without delaying the applicant. As previously stated, the applicants intend to construct the sidewalk and have incorporated its design in the proposed development plan. Staff, however, does not support the amendment. The primary function of the three sidewalk connections is to provide pedestrian linkages t~om the neighborhoods on the north side of the Specific Plan area to Sycamore Creek way and the public trail by Sycamore Creek. The side- walk connections were evenly distributed along the north side of the Specific Plan area to effi- lton 6. a., PUD-42 and PSP-08 Page 6 of 18 February 9, 2005
