TO: CITY MANAGER
FROM: PLANNING DIRECTOR
SUBJECT: SP-136A RECREATIONAL VEHICLE STORAGE
The Specific Plan exhibit submitted to the Planning Commis- sion and City Council indicates Recreational Vehicle stor- age areas at the entrance of the project from Tamarack. The design of these areas were unacceptable to staff and the Planning Commission because they required direct backup onto a public street. Also, storage areas, being generally un- attractive, would have a negative aesthetic impact on the neighborhood in this highly visable location.
In the approval of the Specific Plan, the Planning Cmission through Condition 6, requires that the applicant redesign or relocate the areas to the satisfaction of the Planning Director. The applicant has submitted a modification that appears acceptable in part. The proposal is to transfer the recreational vehicle area to the lot at the northwest corner along the AT&SF RR right-of-way. The proposed Unit C is to be moved to the originally proposed recreational vehicle are adjacent to the school. This is acceptable to staff provide the remainder of the area is adequately landscaped and head- light glare is shielded from the unit, thru fencing and land scapi ng .
However, the redesigned recreational vehicle area at Tamarac and extended to Hibiscus Court is unacceptable because it wi require difficult parking and automobile movements onto a public street near an intersection, and it will be an unattr tive entrance to the development. Staff will not support st age in this area and recommends the area be landscaped.
It is recommended the City Council affirm the action of the Planning Commission and approve the redesign as proposed in this memorandum and shown on the revised exhibit (Exhibit A dated October 22, 7976).

PRIVATE STREET . *
The app1ic';;nt has proposed a private street with a width of 28', curb- to-curb, with sidewalks on both sides of the street. The minimum private street width in the PUD ordinance for tczro-way traffic ~ith two- parking lanes is 36', curb-to-curb,

Because of the configuration of dwellings, it would be difficult to provide the full 36' street with sidewalks on both sides. Staff . has therefore recommended in Tract Map Conditjons 14 and 15 that a street width of 32 feet be adopted for on-way traffic, with a
sidewalk on one side of the street.
.on both sides of the street, which would help prevent parking prob- lems similar to those found in the Larwin townhouses. 32 feet will not, however, allow for a travel lane during an emergency, since emergency vehicles will block the street. For thi-s reason, the Fire Chief believes the full 34' should be required.
Tentative Tract Map Status
The applicant has not submitted a revised tentative Tract Map to the City Engineer in time for meaningful staff review. Staff is therefor€ unable to fully respond to the Commission's questions of phasing the
project with the realignment of Tamarack Avenue. From preliminary information, it appears that the circulation system in the area of thc project is sufficient to absorb traffic from the proposed project prior to realiqnment of Tamarack Avenue. The City Engineer will be available at the public hearing to comment more fully on circulation in the area of project. Staff has reviewed the street sections as they have been shown on the Specic P1an.staff'srecommendation on the private street is noted above.
