As a result of the proposed realignment, several exchanges of <br />land would need to be accomplished. First of all, Johnson Drive <br />between Bannister Drive and the realigned portion of Johnson Drive <br />would be abandoned by the City and deeded to Reynolds and Brown <br />and Mike Harris, the owner of the Hopyard Professional Center. <br />Because of the land which they would lose as a result of the <br />creation of the realigned Johnson Drive, the owners of the Denny's <br />and Hungry Hunter restaurants would be deeded additional land by <br />Reynolds and Brown. Mike Harris would also lose some land because <br />of the new Johnson Drive, but his portion of the Old Johnson Drive <br />would more than make up for that. The land deeded to the restaurants <br />would allow them to redesign their: parking areas, thereby losing <br />no parking as a result of the realignment. Both restaurants would <br />be set back at least 30 ft. from the realigned Johnson Drive. This <br />entire area would be landscaped rather than be devoted to parking <br />as is now the case. The Standard Oil Service Station would lose <br />a small portion of the northwest corner of their property to the <br />realigned street. This would not, however, effect the operation <br />of the station in any way. <br />The realigned Johnson Drive would be a four lane street. It would <br />contain an 18 ft. wide landscaped median which would allow for left- <br />turn lanes at a driveway which would be constructed west of Denny's <br />and Hungry Hunter. It would also have a free-turning right-turn <br />lane onto Hopyard Road. <br />_ Access to the Hopyard Professional Center sand Den;iy's restaurant <br />would be via a driveway between those two properties and the drive- <br />way to the west of Denny's. There would be an easemsnt_ along the <br />northern boundary line of Denny's to provide access from the latter <br />driveway to the Harris realty property. Access to Hungry Hunter <br />would be via the driveway to the west of Hungry Hunter and the <br />existing driveway between Hungry Hunter aixd the Standard Service <br />Station. <br />The net result of the redesign would be the elimination of the <br />sharp curve in Johnson Drive and provision o£ improved access to <br />the Harris Realty, Denny's and the Hungry Hunter properties. Access <br />to the Standard Service Station, California 6 Motel and Carnation <br />Family restaurant would either be unchanged or perhaps even improved <br />by the redesign. Finally, a conventional four legged intersection <br />would be created at Hopyard Road and Johnson Drive. All but the <br />west leg of this intersection would be 90° an3 even that portion <br />would be angled only slightly. This should provide for much improved <br />operation of the intersection and, therefore, lessen the potential <br />for traffic congestion in this area, To i.ncxease the capacity of <br />Johnson Drive east of Hopyard Road, plans call for the widening of <br />that street and its realignment in an easterly direction. The <br />Hacienda Business Park developers tiava been working with the owners <br />of the Shell and Mobil Oil Statio~xs to achieve this end. Its design <br />is not the subject of this case, however. <br />-2•° <br />
