<br />The developer has prepared the required disclosure deeds and CC&R's. All submittals are in <br />substantial conformance with conditions of the approved tentative map. Development fees, <br />including the Vineyard A venue Corridor Specific Plan fee for all fourteen lots allowed within <br />Parcel I and Parcel 2 of Parcel Map 8070, have been paid, and the signed Subdivision <br />Agreement has been submitted. <br /> <br />Proposed Improvements <br /> <br />The proposed improvements closely match the conceptual planning for the site specified in the <br />Vineyard Avenue Corridor Specific Plan. The development proposes two public streets - an <br />extension of Vineyard Terrace constructed with Hahner Project and Silver Oaks Court. <br />Vineyard Terrace will be extended in an easterly direction with the development of the <br />Chrisman's property, creating a loop with Rolling Hills Lane, to be constructed with the <br />Hahner Project. Silver Oaks Court, when extended, will serve the remaining 5 lots within <br />Parcel 2 of Parcel Map 8070 (Hillside Residential portion of the development). <br /> <br />Upon their acceptance, the streetlights, the storm drain systems, and the sanitary sewer and <br />the water systems within the public streets serving this project will be maintained and operated <br />by the City. Parcel "A" and Parcel "B" (the open space parcels) will be maintained by the <br />Homeowners Association. The storm drainage system shown on Parcel 2 of Parcel Map 8070 <br />will remain private and maintained by the property owner. <br /> <br />Existing (Old) Vineyard A venue <br /> <br />In preparing the development plans for the subdivisions along Old Vineyard A venue, it was <br />discovered that additional right-of-way had been dedicated to Alameda County in the 1970's <br />for the future widening of the roadway; this street widening was never completed. The street <br />right-of-way was 50 feet before the additional dedication was made to the County. This is <br />more than adequate for the proposed Vineyard Trail, consequently, the additional 18- foot <br />width is not needed. The 18-foot street dedication was made in fee title to Alameda County, <br />which then reverted to the City pursuant to California Street and Highway Code section 989. <br />It appears that that this small portion of property has negligible value and its only logical use <br />is for the landscaping in the development of the adjoining Berlogar Development. To allow <br />this use of the excess right-of-way, the City will need to quitclaim its interest in the excess <br />right-of-way to the adjoining property owner. <br /> <br />The California Streets and Highways Code provides for an abbreviated, summary vacation <br />procedure for public rights of way under certain conditions, including when there is excess <br />right of way or when a street has been superseded by relocation. In this situation, not only <br />has the excess portion of the right of way never been used as a street, but the use of a portion <br />of the existing Vineyard Avenue as a vehicular street has been superseded by the new <br />aligmnent of Vineyard A venue.
