<br />· General consensus that the location of the northerly portion of the road alignment was <br />consistent with the intent of the V ACSP in that the Specific Plan defined that the use of the <br />Old Vineyard Trail was for alternative transportation methods, that vehicular traffic should <br />be limited where ever possible to crossings only, and that site development should take into <br />consideration the topography of the site. No direction was provided to amend the V ACSP. <br /> <br />The proposed road alignment has been modified by moving the entry from the existing road <br />alignment to the westerly boundary. At the time the Planning Commission considered the <br />new location it was depicted acijacent to the west property line. It was relocated 50 feet <br />from the centerline of the drainage swale located on Lot 26, Lands of Brozosky. Staff has <br />since discovered that the VACSP and the EIR restrict construction from occurring within <br />100 feet of the centerline of Jurisdictional Waters of the u.s. of which this ephemeral <br />drainage way is. The lot grading has been revised/conditioned to stay out of this setback <br />area, however, staff proposes supporting the location in the road in that the access road <br />will align with the existing round about at the end of Thiessen Street, which was built at the <br />time of the Neal School road improvements were constructed. The City is evaluating an <br />initial study and mitigated Negative Declaration providing mitigation measures that would <br />summarily protect the drainageway. However, this document needs to be routed to the <br />State Clearinghouse and distributed to the CA State Dept of Fish and Game. <br /> <br />Anticipated mitigation measures for the State's likely concerns during construction have <br />been added as a condition of approval. <br /> <br />. General discussion that the City project and proposed PUD development plan should return <br />to the Planning Commission united so that a decision could be reached for both projects. <br /> <br />Staff has brought both projects forward to ensure that the decisions made related to the <br />road construction and City tank site are related to and a part of the decision for the PUD <br />development plan lot grading and how the pads integrate with the road grading. <br /> <br />Regarding public input at the workshop, Mary Roberts, adjacent neighbor at 1666 Frog Hill <br />Lane, expressed concern with the house location, flat pad grading, and proposed fill for Lot I. <br />She was also concerned that the house location on Lot 3 was moved closer to her house than the <br />location shown on the Specific Plan land use map. Ms. Roberts indicated that she could support <br />a replacement two-story structure on Lot 5 if it were designed similar to the existing home, <br />which has a moderate two-story element covering only a portion of the first floor, has natural <br />wall materials, and is one-story on the side closest to her home. Ms. Roberts supported the <br />applicant's request to reduce the front yard setbacks along the private road. <br /> <br />Page - 4 <br />
