grading and subdivision improvements would still have to use Montevino Drive to access the Hatsushi property. However, Frank and Lillian Jardin oppose the use of Clara Lane for the Hatsushis' construction traffic and have discussed this issue with staff. There email is attached. Staff notes that in addi- tion to the Jardin property, there are an additional 22 other developed lots of the Delco Homes development that presently use Clara Lane as their only point of access to Vineyard Avenue. Although staff has not contacted them, these owners may also oppose Hatsushi construction traf- fic using Clara Lane. Staff will continue to pursue the Clara Lane extension with the Hatsushis, the Jardins, and the Aminians and, if feasible to do so, will secure the extension with or soon af- ter Hatsushi's first construction phase to reduce the EVA's use by construction traffic. The EVA will connect to Montevino Drive at the crest of the hill. Attached are the vehicle speed tables for northbound and southbound vehicles on Montevino Drive. It shows the 8Sth speed percentile at 30 m.p.h. for northbound vehicles and 31 to 32 m.p.h. for southbound vehi- cles. The tables also show four northbound vehicles and one southbound vehicle traveling in excess of SS m.p.h. The speed limit on Montevino Drive is 2S m.p.h. Staff considers the con- struction/domestic traffic from Lots 10 through 13 using the EVA to reach Montevino Drive to be acceptable. Extending Road "A" to Vineyard A venue with the first construction phase will require demol- ishing portions of the existing nursery and landscape contractor businesses. The current lease agreements allow these businesses to continue operation unabated until their leases expire. The aerial photograph on the following page shows the existing structures and uses in the path of the Road "A" right-of-way. Therefore, as permitted by the Vineyard Avenue Corridor Specific Plan, vehicular access to Lots 10 through 13 for construction and non-construction traffic may be temporarily provided by way of the Emergency Vehicle Access (EVA) connection to Montevino Drive until such time as the public street!cul-de-sac connection to Clara Lane or Vineyard Avenue is achieved. Afterward, the EVA shall be used for emergency vehicles only. Since the use of the EVA was defined and evaluated with the Vineyard Avenue Corridor Specific Plan, modifYing or eliminating the Hatsushis' ability to use the EVA as defined by the Specific Plan will require an amendment to the Specific Plan. As conditioned, the EVA is required to be setback 4S feet from the Lloyd property line, thereby reflecting the Specific Plan. Design Guidelines Diagrams. Drawings. and Review Procedures The Vineyard Avenue Corridor Specific Plan contains general architectural and landscape de- sign guidelines covering the Low Density Residential development sites. The proposed design guidelines for the lots covered by this development plan are attached. Staff considers the guide- lines to be well prepared, a good effort, but require further development.
