BACKGROUND Tract 7890 is a residential subdivision proposed by Kazuo and Takiko Hatsushi (Ralph and Amy Hughes). The property is located on the south side of Vineyard Avenue between Montevino Drive and Clara Lane, as shown on the attached vicinity map. On June 13, 2007, the Planning Commission approved an application by Kazuo and Takiko Hatsushi. (Ralph and Amy Hughes) for Vesting Tentative Map, Tract 7890, to subdivide the subject property, located at 2756, 2770, and 2798 Vineyard Avenue in the Vineyard Avenue Specific Plan area. The subdivision of the 15-acre Hatsushi property allows for the construction of 13 residential lots, one lot for the existing Hatsushi home, and three parcels that will be used for open space/landscaping. The proposed development will be constructed in two phases. Phase One (Tract 7890) will include lots 1 through 5, the cul-de-sac (Hatsushi Terrace) serving these lots that connect to the adjoining Clara Lane development, and an emergency vehicle access (EVA) road from the cul-de-sac to Montevino Drive. Phase Two will include. the extension of the public street from Hatsushi Terrance to Vineyard Avenue and an additional cul-de-sac serving the remaining 8 lots. The Engineering staff, Planning staff, and the City Attorney's Office have reviewed the Final Map, Improvement Plans, and other legal documents for Tract 7890. The developer has prepared the required disclosure deeds and CC&R's. All submittals. are in substantial .conformance with the PUD and Tentative Map approvals. Development fees; including the Vineyard Avenue Corridor Specific Plan (VACSP) fee for all eight lots allowed within upper two parcels, have been paid. The remaining (VACSP) fees. vvilt be paid with the development of the remaining parcel along Vineyard Avenue (currentlythe Nursery). The signed Subdivision Agreement has also been submitted. DISCUSSION Proposed Improvements The proposed improvements closely match the conceptual planning for the site specified in the Vineyard Avenue Corridor Specific Plan. The development proposes a public cul-de-sac (Hatsushi Terrace) from the proposed Clara Lane extension until such time as Clara Lane is extended with the adjacent development. Temporarily, the cul-de- sac will take access through an emergency vehicle access (EVA) road to Montevino Drive. To facilitate the extension of Clara Lane, the Hatsushi's had their consultants prepare plans for the extension of Clara Lane including the landscaping. They have also paid the City their pro-rata share of the cost of constructing Clara Lane. The adjacent developer will construct Clara Lane with his subdivision improvements. The extension of Clara Lane is scheduled to begin construction in the summer of 2008. Per the conditions of approval, once Clara Lane is extended, the lots on Hatsushi Terrace will be required to use Clara Lane for access. Page2of3
