alternatives or at least no more than an emergency vehicle access from San Antonio Street to the N. Sycamore area. He felt the N. Sycamore Plan calls for a change from grazing land to sound walls with much more traffic going through Mission Park. He stressed they do not wish the City to route traffic through Mission Park. In response to Commissioner McGuirk's question, Mr. Wacek said none of the alternative plans are acceptable. An emergency vehicle access would be acceptable, but he would not want a thoroughfare going through Mission Park or San Antonio Street. He further discussed this with Commissioner Horan. ~ Margo Kelly, 5157 Independence Drive, said she is a member of the committee that has been working on this project for over two years. Her major concern is that traffic will be routed through Independence Drive to Bernal Avenue. She said she has already witnessed an increase of traffic with people going to Raley's Super Market, school, and the nearby park. She expressed concern that development of the N. Sycamore area would cause an increase of traffic in the residential areas where people would be inclined to take shortcuts. She said there are now at least 13 homes for sale in the Independence Drive area because it has been considered an undesirable place to live because of the increasing traffic. She asked that the Commission support the closing down of Independence Drive to thru traffic. She said the committee would be willing to work with the developers to see what they could work out. She added that she had first intended to support Alternative 4, but now sees that it would have a great impact on a great number of people. Linda Peterson, 5747 San Carlos Way, said she is not opposed to development, but is opposed to that development increasing the amount of traffic in the Mission Park area. She felt compromises would have to be made by the developers and the adjacent neighborhoods. She said she would not put off annexation for another year or so to do more study. In response to Chairman Mahern's question, Ms. Peterson stated she would go with Alternative 4 which implied to her there would be only an emergency access to Mission Park. She did not think Alternative 2 met most peoples' needs. Jim Lavey, 5476 Sycamore Road, put up a large map. He said that he has property that is one acre stacked" Ag" zoning. He is proposing one acre stacked "Ag" zoning for the south side of Sycamore Road, and R-1-10,000 behind it. He said he has signed a pre-annexation agreement in 1989 and he would have one lot on the front and three 1/3 acre lots on the back. He has no intention of running a road through his neighbor's property. He pointed out that his cul-de-sac would come off of Amber Street. He would not want people to feel that he is wanting to run all kinds of traffic onto Sycamore Road. MINUTES PLANNING COMMISSION APRIL 24,1991 Page 7 -
