Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council: BACKGROUND Tract 7534, Jansen Property, consists of eleven single-family lots on approximately 4.19 acres proposed by Lynden Homes. Tract 7534 is located along Rose Avenue, west of Calico Lane, and north of the Alameda County Fairgrounds. The lots range in size from approximately 10,000 to 13,000 square feet. All eleven lots will have access from proposed Cindy Way, which extends from the new extension of Rose Avenue. This development extends Rose A venue approximately 260 feet westerly. The developer has also contributed their pro-rata share for the water and sewer main extensions along future Rose Avenue from the project site to Valley Avenue. PROPOSED IMPROVEMENTS The streets (Rose Avenue, Cindy Way, and Lynn Drive) within this development are public and will be maintained by the City. The storm drain, sanitary sewer and water systems within these streets serving this project will be maintained and operated by the City. The City will also maintain the landscape strip along the south side of Rose Avenue. A proposed eight-foot wide public trail will be constructed along the Arroyo del Valle. This trail will connect to the trail within the Nolan Farms development, at such time the Jones property develops. This trail is to be maintained by the homeowner's association (HOA). This development includes a portion of the Arroyo del Valle within its boundaries. Language in the Final Map and CC&R's allows for Zone 7 to take ownership anytime in the future. However, until such time, the HOA will retain ownership including the maintenance responsibility of the Arroyo and the drainage outfall structure. Bio-swales along the edge of public streets are required of this project and will also be maintained by the homeowners' association, including the irrigation system and sub-drains. Jones Property As shown on Exhibit A attached, the Jones property is immediately adjacent to Tract 7534 on the northeast. Several development conditions pertain to the Jones property, which reflect on the improvement plans. One of the conditions requires a new 20-foot wide easement between lots 8 and 9 for the benefit of the Jones property for access and utilities. The existing 20-foot wide easement crossing the Jansen property currently serving the Jones property will be abandoned concurrently with the recordation of the Final Map. During part of the construction, the Jones property will have temporary access from the north end of Calico lane. SR 06:261 Page 2 of3
