Mr. Grubstiek pointed out that if Dale Way were used on a temporary basis, staff would have to aim for the existing creek crossing rather than building a second crossing. Even in creating a diagonal access to Alisal Street, there would still be somewhat of an S curve in that traffic will need to be brought into the sharp fight turn onto the existing bridge. He noted that it is not as clean cut as it might seem. Mayor Pico closed the public testimony. Mayor Pico preferred not to take any action this evening and wait a few months to see what kind of plans might be coming forward with regard to proposals for the Spotomo property. He would want to see if the plan is feasible before taking any action. He noted that there are many months before the Golf Course opens, and hopefully, Council will have the opportunity to review another plan that might provide a viable option for a bypass road. Ms. Ayala asked Mayor Pico if he was dismissing the option of using Dale Way on a temporary basis? Mayor Pico said no. He pointed out that serious questions were raised as to whether traffic would use Dale Way as an alternative route, or if traffic would take a shorter alternative route. There are also concerns related to what will happen after the bypass road gets built, and would traffic continue to flow on Sycamore Road and Alisal Street to get to the Golf Course. He believed these were valid concerns, as the City is planning to barricade and block off the access road to the Golf Course. Ms. Ayala hoped that a plan would be forthcoming for the short trm~, but when she reviewed this, she saw it as another piece to the bypass road. She pointed out that Summerhill is already grading the next piece of the bypass road. She believed that once Summerhill is finished and the next section is complete, there would be no way to connect the streets any where else, and believed the City would be stuck until a plan comes through from the Spotomo family. Mayor Pico mentioned that Council would have the opportunity to consider using Dale Way as an alternative route if it looked like it would take a longer period of time for the Spotomo family to devise an acceptable development plan for the bypass road. Ms. Hosterman stated that it was extremely gracious of the Layton family to allow the City the opportunity to discuss using Dale Way as a temporary remedy. She was concerned that Council had not focused on putting together a bypass road. She was concerned about constructing a roadway, or a way to move golf course traffic through that neighborhood, and then have it changed again in the future. Cdven all of the problems with that particular stretch of the roadway, she preferred to leave this matter on the table as a possible option in the future. For the moment, she would like to focus on the bypass road itself and continue to have discussions with the Spotomo family. Mr. Brozosky asked when Summerhill would have its houses ready?
