Avenue is paved and construction of homes in the first phase is well under way; and (2) that the approved construction haul route to the project will be via Bernal Avenue and the Access road only--not through the existing streets in the Mission Park area. Mr. Dunkley reviewed the neighborhood park site; preservation of existing trees; pre- servation of the sense of open space; minimum grading; and enhancing the neighboring property in every way possible. He advised that development plans will be presented later. He presented an aerial map of the property, an overall view over the project showing the par]<, entrance road and trees, and a blending of the surrounding area with link or rail fences with natural hedging for screening. Mr. Dunkley stated he concurs with the staff report and the conditions including those submitted by Mr. Harris and those submitted by the homeovmers. He expressed appreciation to the Lund family, the surrounding neighbors, and City staff for their assistance and input into this project. Mr. Milton Jones, President of Alisal Improvement Club, stated this group is con- cerned about the main entrance going through the project and dead ending heading south. He stated their concern is that this could become a main thoroughfare if the road con- tinues and comes into Sycamore and Alisal; adding this would create serious traffic problems. He proposed that some planning be done to show the road not meeting up with Sycamore and Alisal; but another road going west back to Sunol Boulevard with a future plan taking the road up around the hills toward the GE Plant. He stated this group agrees that the project looks well planned and engineered but the circulation plan concerns them, and they asked that this issue be considered before the plan is approved. There bein~ no further testimony, Mayor Mercer declared the public hearing closed on the application and the negative declaration. It was moved by Councilmember Brandes, and seconded by Councilmember Wood, that Resolution No. 85-22, determining on the basis of a review of initial environmental study done for this project, that no significant environmental impact would occur as outlined in the City's ~uidelines and that a negative declaration is appropriate in connection with PUD-84-15, application of Castlewood Valley Homes, Inc., for PUD (Planned Unit Development) development plan approval for a 129 unit single-family project proposed for the approximately 53 acre site, located easterly of the terminus of Mission Drive, Junipero Street and San Jose Drive, be adopted.
