. A total of32 trees would be removed to grade the building pads on the single-family lots. In addition, the applicant is proposing to remove six trees for aesthetic reasons. Tree removal for the access road is discussed in the Planning Commission Staff Report for the water tank. IV. DISCUSSION Site Plan This project represents a collaborative effort between the applicant and the City. Staff worked closely with Mr. Reznick and his consultants to ensure that the road alignment was compatible with the City's access requirements to the water tank site as well as the proposed single-family development. The placement of the water tank and the siting of the single-family lots was also a collaborative effort between staff and Mr. Reznick. The site plan presented for the Commission's review is the result of those efforts. Private Road At the lower portions of the lot, the planned road alignment shown in the Specific Plan followed the existing road and connected to Old Vineyard Avenue at the northeastern side of the site, where it would be joined with a future road on the Roberts property. The Specific Plan indicates that the street alignments shown are conceptual only and may change subject to the PUD development plan review process. The proposed road was moved near the northern corner of the site to align with the new roundabout, which will reduce traffic conflicts with users of the future trail on Old Vineyard Avenue. For additional discussion regarding the private access road, please refer to the May 10,2006, Planning Commission Staff Report for the City water tank. Emergency Vehicle Access Road Due to the excessive length of the dead-end hillside streets on Lots 22 (Berlogar) and 25 (the subject site), the Specific Plan indicates that these lots shall be connected by way of a paved emergency vehicle access (EVA) road so as to create an emergency loop route to Vineyard Avenue. The Specific Plan Land Use Plan (see attachment #10) shows the EVA extending up from the upper end of the private street on the Reznick parcel in a westerly direction, crossing the southern corner of the Brozosky parcel, and then connecting to the private street on the Berlogar parcel. The alignment shown on the Specific Plan has been evaluated in relationship to the actual topography at that location and does not appear to be feasible at this time for the purposes of fire equipment access. The location is also impacted due to the location change of the tank site. The Page - 7
