Minutes Planning Commissior 12/12/84 there are some difficulties with it as now writte. The purpose of the condition is not to encourage the development of long narrow lots. It would offer instead an incentive for combining lots. Staff recommends that where the lot depth to the lot width ratio is 3 to 0 or less that unlimited density be allowed. Where ratios are 3.01 to 3.5 dwelling units would be no more than 15 units per acre,; 3.51 to 4.0 no more than 12 per acre; 4.1 to 4.50 no more than 10 units per acre and 4.50 or greater no more than 8 units per acre. This condition if imposed would not effect the Spiliotopoulos/Hirst development. It would encourage Auf der Maur, for instance, to purchase the lot next door. Commissioner Getty felt that the Del Valle Parkway issue should also be addressed. Mr. Harris indicated that Chris Kinzel is present and will give an oral report. Mr. Warnick then asked that he be allowed to comment after Mr. Kinzel gives his presentation. Commissioner Lindsey preferred to hear Chris Kinzel's report prior to hearing the general plan amendment application and PUD application. Chris Kinzel, TJKM, 4637 Chabot Drive, was happy to provide information concerning traffic with regard to Stanley Boulevard, and the appropriateness at this time for the development of the Del Valle Parkway. He felt that based upon traffic counts and projected traffic counts the Del Valle Parkway at the very least should be extended to the Main Street/Santa Rita Road location as currently planned. This would provide relief to the downtown area. He listed various reasons why Del Valle Parkway should be continued, at least to Stanley Boulevard, i.e., eliminate a jog in the intersection of Main Street at Stanley Boulevard, etc. He felt some kind of connection is needed to East Stanley Boulevard. The current General Plan calls for the extension beyond East Stanley Boulevard and connection with First Street/Stanley Boulevard. They feel that the extension to Auf der Maur's area is not particularly necessary because it would put business park traffic into a single-family residential neighborhood. Del Valle extension to Main street will serve a valuable function for traffic going to Hopyard and northbound. Commissioner Innes and Mr. Kinzel then addressed traffic levels of the area. Mr. Warnick indicated that staff is fully in accord with Chris Kinzel regarding Del Valle Parkway to Stanley Boulevard. The City has a very strong contract with regard to the railroad consolidation project, undercrossing, etc. An EIR has been done and the City has been granted $5,000,000 for an $8,000,000 project. The contracts are signed between the City County, State and two railroads. At least $2,000,000 has been set aside for this project. A commitment has been made to join Del Valle Parkway to Main Street. Commissioner Getty was not concerned with the connection to Main Street but rather the connection to Stanley Boulevard. Mr. Warnick reported that it is projected - 7 - ,__.___ .. _... ...._ _r,`._
