Creek is 40 feet; he felt the driveway exits for the proposed projects are too sharp and would create a hazardous traffic condition. He advised there are 420 units within a .4 mile radious existing on Vineyard Avenue and there have been traffic accidents. He felt these projects should be included in the Vineyard Hills moratorium. He asked that Vineyard Avenue be put in a Master Plan. He suspected that people will still use Vineyard Avenue even with the completion of the Bernal Avenue loop improvements. He urged that the proposed projects be denied. He requested the following conditions be considered if the project is approved: must have left turn lane; no parking on Vineyard Avenue; project would be held off until one year after the completion of the Bernal Avenue Loop to determine how traffic patterns will be at that time; require the developer to contribute to the Bernal Avenue bridge; the house inbetween the properties must be removed in order to allow wider entrance to the development; and lower the density on the east side to be compatible with the rural atmosphere in this area. Mr. Gooch stated most of the conditions are not feasible: the Frank Riccio house is not for sale~ no parking on Vineyard Avenue would be up to the City; the left turn lane would not be a problem; contribution to the Bernal Avenue bridge would raise the price of the houses; lower density does not make sense and would impact the cost of the houses and would change the project to a large extent. He stated he would not want to delay the project until one year after completion of the Bernal Avenue Loop improvements; traffic studies show there is not supposed to be a problem on Vineyard Avenue when the improvements are completed. Mr. Frank Belecky, 892 Madeira, representing Vintage Hills Homeowners, stated there is a moratorium in effect which should be adhered to. He felt the project is poorly designed; the present complex is a problem; these are irregular parcels of land; and the developer has not offered anything to the City to mitigate the problems. He stated Arroyo I has not provided adequate sales for low income buyers. He expressed concern regarding traffic and the bike lane. He felt Vineyard Avenue needs a Master Plan before any more development is allowed because of the excessive number of cars traveling on Vineyard Avenue now and the number of driveways on Vineyard Avenue. He did not feel the proposed development is proper. Mr. Caldwell stated that after the Planning Commission meeting and the presentation by representatives of the Vintage Hills Homeowners Association, he contacted four friends who live in Vintage Hills who stated they did not receive notices of Association meetings. He felt the representatives had mis- represented the feelings of some of the residents in Vintage Hills. There being no further testimony, Mayor Mercer declared the public hearing closed on these two items. It was moved by Councilmember Butler, and seconded by Councilmember Wil- son, that Resolution No. 87-172, determining on the basis of a review of ini- tial environmental study done for this project, that no significant environ- mental impact would occur as outlined in the City's guidelines and that a negative declaration is appropriate in connection with PUD-86-19, the applica- tion of Gooch and Associates and Harry Caldwell for development plan approval for a 20-unit residential project to be located on an approximately two acre site located at 3745 Vineyard Avenue, and for PUD-86-20, application of Gooch and Associates and Sylvia Riccio for development plan approval for a 40-unit residential project to be located on an approximately 3.7 acre site located at 20 4-21-87
