WORKSHOP REPORT - Laserfiche WebLink

In October 2007, Alameda County, Livermore, and Pleasanton entered into the cooperation and cost sharing agreements for the EI Charro Road improvements. As part of the Staples Ranch project, this northern section of EI Charro Road (north of the arroyo) would be annexed into Pleasanton, as is anticipated in the Pleasanton General Plan. EI Charro Road south of Jack London is a private road owned by Vulcan Materials Company and will remain private until such time the a development application is approved for the East Pleasanton area. The Council will be conducting a specific plan process for this area prior to any project approvals. It would be improved with street trees and a separated sidewalk adjacent to the Fremont Land site but widening and new lanes are not proposed as part of the project. As part of the project, the ACSPA would extend Stoneridge Drive to the senior continuing care facility and the community park. The ACSPA would construct a two lane bridge with a sidewalk over the Arroyo Mocho and construct a two lane Stoneridge Drive with a landscaped median up to 15 feet wide, two bike lanes, and separated sidewalks. Staff would like the ACSPA to provide funding for the installation of a traffic signal at the entrance to the senior continuing care facility and community park in the event that Stoneridge Drive is extended east at a later date. The ACSPA would also construct Auto Mall Place which would connect the auto mall, retail shopping center, and the community park to EI Charro Road. This road would have a landscaped median up to 21 feet wide. The ACSPA would install a traffic signal at the intersection at the entrance to the auto mall and retail shopping center/community park. The entry way road to the CLC development will be a public south of the gate house. This road will be maintained by the City however; CLC will maintain the roadway landscaping including the median. The northbound section of the roadway will include space for parallel parking (for approximately nine spaces) on the western edge of the neighborhood park. A portion of this road, including those portions needed to accommodate park parking, will be on park property. Any other portion or this road way and land costs will be assumed by CLC. The use of this road for park parking maximizes available park space as it eliminates the need for a park vehicle driveway and parking lot. Due to the current configuration of Stoneridge Drive, this is the only parking planned for the neighborhood park. However, it is anticipated that the public could use public parking available at the adjacent 17-acre community park. . Emergency Vehicle Access As part of the project, the ACSPA would construct an emergency vehicle access (EVA) route between Stoneridge Drive and Auto Mall Place which would have a 36 to 52 foot wide landscaped median and would be gated at both ends. The ACSPA would install separated sidewalks, and street trees near the EVA. The ACSPA proposes to fence the EVA area. Staff would like the EVA to be fence free and is working with the ACSPA to accomplish this. Page 12 of 16
