~ In response to Commissioner Mahern's question, Mr. Bartelson sta that Village 1 will be the first construction area. By the time Village 1 is complete, the i frastructure would also be ready for the school to begin their construction. He noted that he school district is working very hard so that the Chu project can be finalized, so they in turn, can go ahead with school construction. Commissioner Finch asked the applicant the width of the streets tha have a sidewalk on one side. Mr. Bartelson said the street is 25 feet curb to curb plus a fo r-foot sidewalk. There is no parking in the street, but there is parking available within the ourtyards. Commissioner Finch stated that he is concerned that there is insuffi ient parking within the project. He felt that if someone had a party, people would have no place to park. Mr. Bartelson stated there are parking bays that do not show on the plan He also noted there is a major street adjacent to the project where overflow parking can g . Chairman Hovingh thought that the street on Stone Pointe Way is 5 feet wide, but that the connecting street from the project is only 51 feet. He expressed co cern as to how this would affect traffic. Mr. Bartelson said the street will gradually wi en out to meet the 56 feet. Mr. Swift noted the difference is that there is no sidewalk on ne side of the Hirst/Tong property and two sidewalks on the 56 foot wide street. Bob Sanchez, 3017 Melbourne Court, expressed concern that Marti Avenue from the north does not have access to this property and the problem that would cr te for the area known as the Meadows, primarily if a school is built. If Martin Avenue c not access this project property, Meadows' residents will have to go down Stoneridge. If artin Avenue does not go through, there will be no good access to the school. He noted th re is not even a plan for a footbridge so that children can walk or ride their bikes to school; i fact, they will have to go all the way around to Santa Rita Road, which is very out-of-the- ay. He urged that Martin A venue either be opened up to be a through-street or at least uild a footbridge over Martin Avenue. Commissioner Mahern explained to Mr. Sanchez that the project can ot be conditioned at this time to have a footbridge. That was looked at in the PUD stage and the Commission was told that it would cost around $1 million. Mr. Higdon did not ink it would run into $1 million, but probably several hundred thousands of dollars. for people to be Mr. Sanchez reiterated his concern that at least a footbridge is neces able to cross Martin Avenue. Chairman Hovingh again pointed out that as the PUD for the project as been approved that a condition such as a footbridge cannot be added. Planning Commission Minutes January 27, 1993 Page 6 ;1
