Members of the Planning and Engineering Staff have subsequently met with the appli- cant and have redesigned the street layout to accomplish the following: (1) Create an additional point of access/egress on to Camino de las Ondas. (2) Eliminate the cul-de-sac "6" which was in excess of 500 feet in length. (3) Create a T intersection at the point where "C" and "G" Streets intersect. Staff felt that these changes would best solve the concerns for adequate access/egress and circulation expressed by the Commission. Staff has also concluded that the private drives serving the fourplex units would best be left as proposed by the applicant for the reasons that a 24 foot drive with landscaping bays abutting parking entrances would be aestheti- cally superior to a 36 foot residential collector street. Turning move- ments from the drive into parking spaces should be adequate. Staff is continuing with its previous recommendation that CT-73-59 and SP-131 BE APPROVED for the reasons as expressed in the May 28th staff report. A copy of the justifications and recommended conditions of approval has been attached for your convenience. S. DANA HIELD RECOMMENDATION:^. --. /•% A. On the Specific Plian:.
