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