<br />Chairman McGuirk inquired about the concerns of the East Bay Regional Park District. Mr. <br />Swift stated their issues are unknown to the City, although they do have rights to the <br />easement. Mr. Swift does not believe the Park District would use this private road as part of <br />their trail system. Further, if a staging area is proposed further up the canyon, the <br />application would have to be approved by the Planning Commission. <br /> <br />NrnUCBEAWNGWASO~ <br /> <br />David Glenn, 5650 Foothill Road, discussed what he feels are errors or omissions regarding <br />this PUD. He identified site markings that are misplaced on the drawing, a grading cut <br />placed too close to a large oak tree near the roadbed, as well as the cut occurring in a slide <br />area. Mr. Glenn does not want to activate another slide and would like further soil studies <br />done. He also commented that no subbase aggregate was indicated on the drawing, and he <br />has concern that future drainage could cause a problem under the roadbed. <br /> <br />Mr. Glenn stated there have been accidents on this private road. Therefore, he would like a <br />15 MPH speed limit posted. By paving the road, he feels drivers will have a tendency to <br />drive faster than is safe considering the road's blind spots. <br /> <br />In response to Commissioner Michelotti's inquiry regarding Mr. Glenn's fmancial <br />contribution to the private road improvements, Mr. Glenn stated that the Moller <br />Development project is contributing most of the money (approx. $40,000). However, if the <br />Moller development does not go forward, the cost of the private road improvements would <br />fall back to the property owners. <br /> <br />Mr. Glenn is concerned that once the road is constructed, there is a possibility it could be <br />dug up to install a water line. He would like to see the water line installed in conjunction <br />with the road construction, not after its completion. In conclusion, Mr. Glenn stated his <br />desire for the road to be built correctly in order for the road to withstand years of use. <br /> <br />Commissioner Hovingh inquired of staff if the road improvements are a requirement of the <br />approved PUD. Mr. Swift stated they are not. The Moller PUD requires the developers to <br />replace the part of the road affected by the development. He further stated that the City has <br />no insight into the private agreements between the Mollers and the property owners. Mr. <br />Swift advised that as long as the road grade does not change, the City has no purview over <br />the construction of the private road, however, the City would like private roads be built to <br />City codes and standards. <br /> <br />Commissioner Michelotti inquired of Mr. Glenn if he feels the improvement in the line of <br />sight in the road is an overall improvement. Mr Glenn does not believe it is an improvement <br />because drivers will have a tendency to drive faster. However, if traffic does not increase <br />speed, Mr. Glenn feels it will be an improvement. <br /> <br />Planning Commission Minutes <br /> <br />Page 3 <br /> <br />April 27, 1994 <br /> <br />- <br />
