MINUTES PLANNING COMMISSION April 11, 1984 Page 8 Mr. Stuhr opposed the staff recommendation and stated that traffic would increase 500% and questioned the conclusion that 200 trips would be detrimental. Mr. Harris explained that this was a peak hour count. Concerning Plan B, cutting right angles will be a safety hazard. Regarding Plan D and the fact that the bridge would not be convenient for users from the east side of town, he questioned five cars at the peak hours. He coaches Little League and has five boys from the Meadows. He asked where the two-five percent came from. Mr. Harris said it came from a report by TJKM. Commissioner Wilson then asked about the map submittal of Crocker Homes when the condition discusses access. Mr. Bartelson stated that is the reason they are here. He explained that the General Plan Committee has made a recommendation that access be studied for the park and that unofficially the City has said they would entertain an access point. CommissionerWilson asked how many years the access has been shown on the general plan. Mr. Harris stated it is not on the general plan. All streets do not appear on the general plan. Mr. Harris posted Tentative Tract 4551 on the board for everyone's perusal. Bob Jones, 4868 Mohr Avenue, said he likes the alternative using the bridge. They realize the City needs emergency access to Sports Park and the Parkside development from the east side of the City. Pedestrian access is also needed. He then presented their proposal with a bridge to West Las Positas. Commissioner Lindsey indicated that one of theprevious concerns was keeping business park traffic out of residential areas. Mr. Jones wasn't sure this would be a big problem. Rick MacMillon, 4712 McHenry Gate (corner of Suttergate) presented his plan. His concept was to have a street with no houses fronting on it, with two cul-de-sacs. Commissioner Doherty asked about Mr. McMillon's plan and how wide the street would be from curb to curb. Mr. McMillon indicated it would be from 42'-45'. CommissionerWilson asked Mr. McMillon if he had any idea whether or not any lots would be lost with his proposal. Mr. McMillon did not know. Commissioner Doherty asked Mr. McMillon if he had taken into consideration the Crocker property and what happens when the bridge is constructed across the Arroyo and also whether or not they have considered the impacts on the Hacienda Business Park property. He asked Mr. McMillon if either he or his neighbors have contacted either developer with this regard. Mr. McMillon said they have not. Mr. Jones spoke again urging the developer to live up to the conditions imposed on Ordinance No. 885. -8-
