Access Road Easement: In April 1994, the developer of Ruby Hill granted several private streets in Ruby Hill development, including Ruby Hill Boulevard, to the Ruby Hill Homeowners Association. Mr. MacDonald asserts that the subject site has a private easement for ingress and egress over Ruby Hills Boulevard. His letter states that "[t]hough such rights do not need to be perfected by usage, Signature's use of Ruby Hills Blvd for ingress and egress from 2001 Ruby Hills Blvd further affirms the existing easement rights." For these reasons, he asserts that the future residence has the right to use Ruby Hills Boulevard for ingress and egress. Signage A monument sign would be installed at the entrance to the restaurant fronting Vineyard Avenue. The sign would be tempered glass etched with the restaurant name "Liliom". The glass would be set in a pedestal, clad in limestone. Lighting would be provided from the slot where the glass inserted into the limestone. The concept of the sign is modern, and would be consistent with the proposed gourmet restaurant. Staff believes the concept is appropriate; however, additional detail is needed. As conditioned, the applicant is required to submit a revised sign proposal with details for review and approval by the Planning Director. Arborist Report HortScience Inc. surveyed and evaluated thirty-five (35) trees on site. Among them, 20 trees are located near the proposed home site, and the remaining 15 trees are at the proposed restaurant location. The trees represent five species; Coast live oak, London plane and Gallery pear are among them. None of the trees are heritage-sized trees. The report states that 71 % (20 trees) are in a good condition and the rest are in a moderate condition. The report recommends the removal of five trees (three London plane and two coast live oak) to accommodate the proposed driveway and the building relocations. The appraised values for these five trees are approximately $5,540. As conditioned, the applicant is required to pay for the loss these trees at the appraised value. Landscaping New landscaping would consist of olive trees, palms, crape myrtle, and Italian cypress with various color shrubs, groundcover, and annuals grouped in the driveway, parking areas, in the fountain area and in the courtyard. The proposed landscaping theme could be categorized as "perimeter landscaping" and "focused landscaping". The perimeter landscaping is the landscaping planted along the Vineyard Avenue frontage and in at the parking lot. Italian cypress would be planted along the parking lot edge.
