HAPPY VALLEY BLUE RIBBON COMMITTEE ACTIVITIES AND RECOMMENDATION June Meeting The June meeting focused on reviewing information related to previous activities associated with the golf course and bypass road with the intent of developing a common foundation of information. In addition, the C onunittee requested a presentation by Pat Costanzo of Grecnbriar I Iomes, concerning Greenbriars proposal for development of Lot 98 (the parcel owned by the Sportono family located north of Faith Chapel Church and also known as "Spotorno Flaf') and associated bypass road (see Attachment 7). The Committee began to discuss the bypass road alignment in connection with the housing density proposed as part of the project Staff reminded the Committee that housin~~ density was beyond the scope of their assignment Several Committee members asserted that since paying for the road was likely to be associated with the housing development, they felt strongly the need to be able to discuss both. Staff agreed to discuss the issue with the City Manager and report back. July Meeting At the July meeting staff reported that the City Manager had agreed to allow the Committee to broaden its scope to include consideration of the housing development since there was a desire to do so by the Committee. The Committee then moved on to review the seven bypass road alignments previously considered by a past committee and City staff in ?003 (see Attachment 4). Atter reviewing these seven options, the Committee eliminated all but one-the connection of Clubhouse Drive to Highway 8~4. "fhe Committee asked that a revised map showing this option and the Grecnbriar alignment be presented at the next meeting. August Meeting At the August meeting, the requested map was presented and additional discussion occurred. the Committee eliminated the connection of Clubhouse llrive to I Iighway 84 from Further discussion, and refined the options for further consideration to include these three: ^ Maintenance of the status quo no bypass road and no increased density on Spotorno's land beyond that already permitted by the Happy Valley Specific Plan. ^ Grecnbriar bypass road alignment ^ The upper bypass road shown in the Happy Valley Specific Plan In addition, the Committee identified a number of design elements (e.g., density on Lot 98, building height, etc.) and asked that a spreadsheet be developed to relate the design elements to the three options so that a consensus could begin to be developed at the nest meeting.
