felt it would be more beautiful. The south parcel is now very well designed and saleable. She <br />had concerns about the fire station next to the school and felt fire alarms would be distracting <br />to the students. She wanted to make sum the bike lane along Bernal for the children will stay <br />in the plan. She also questioned the mixed use of residential lands along the golf course. Is <br />there anyway that some tomhomes or duplexes could be located near the golf course for people <br />without children. Regarding the narrow streets, will they include bike lanes or some separation <br />from pedestrians. <br /> <br /> Eric Byer, 3961 Kern Court, also praised Alternative 5. He liked the mixed use area <br />along the golf course and felt that would be a good place for a restaurant. He was concerned <br />about housing density and sewer management. tie referred to the odor from the treatment plan <br />and felt this will get worse with more development. lie liked the commercial area on the west <br />side and felt a little coffee shop was a good idea. <br /> <br /> Ms. Michelotti referred to the roadway layout and whether the west side is connected to <br />the east side. She also wanted to know if the road would be extended through the Kaiser <br />property. <br /> <br /> Mr. Calthorpe said it was not connected. Whether you go above or below the railroad <br />tracks, it is a very expensive proposition. He did not believe the amount of through traffic <br />would warrant extension of a road through the Kaiser property. He did not believe two exits <br />were justified in that area for the quantity of housing. <br /> <br /> Mr. Swift felt dual exits were possible for that area and discussed the various methods. <br />He did not feel it was necessary, however. Depending on how the property develops in terms <br />of densities and the design of the streets, there are issues that have to be worked out. <br /> <br /> Ms. Michelotti asked if there was a way to put a road through should Kaiser decide to <br />develop? <br /> <br /> Mr. Calthorpe felt if it was necessary in the future, the road could go through the trees <br />and showed it on the drawing. <br /> <br /> Ms. Michelotti then inquired about bike lanes along Bernal or any of the neo-traditional <br />areas. Laguna West had tree wells in the streets where parking occurs. <br /> <br /> Mr. Calthorpe responded to comments on narrow streets. lie made it clear "one size <br />does not fit all'. The street configurations and widths will be determined in the size most <br />appropriate for the development and bike lanes will be put where they can best be <br />accommodated. Bikes will be in the travel lanes for neighborhood streets and in connector <br />streets, there will be designated bike lanes. There was a question about parking in Laguna <br />West. He once gave a presentation at the Town Hall in Laguna West with 250 in attendance. <br />He asked if anyone walked more than a block and a half and not one hand went up. The <br />parking occurred curbside rather than in large parking lots. Many times curbside parking is lost <br /> <br />05/21/96 -11- <br /> <br /> <br />
