LIST OF ITEMS NEEDED
TO COMPLETE THE APPLICATION
No. MP 178(A)/CT 02-14/PUD 02-06/CUP 02-17 Bressi Ranch Residential
Planning:
1. Revise the "Lot Count/Density" table on sheet 2 to refer to Master Plan Units
versus growth control based units and include all of the lot size information.
2. Line weights defining lots are inconsistent. Please rectify.
3. Park and passive open space lot designs must be submitted.
4. Architectural designs, floor plans and plotting must be submitted.
Engineering:
1. Please list the CT number, CT 02-17, and the PUD number PUD 02-06 on all plan sets.
2. The legal description on the plans should be revised to reflect the map and lot numbers
from the final map (CT 00-06) once it has recorded.
3. Please submit a current title report along with a copy of all easements, agreements, and
other documents that encumber the property. A copy of Adjustment Plat 543 would help
with the boundary determination. If there are bonds or assessment district information for
the infrastructure a description of what is being constructed with a plat to detail the
obligations is recommended. This project should "Stand Alone" as far as improvements.
Sometimes doing this requires a double bond condition.
4. Poinsettia Lane is required, and other improvements needed to support this project must
be shown as "Existing" should be shown as "proposed per drawing # DWG ".
5. Please complete the Generation and demand information on sheet 1. The owner /
subdivider should include a name under the signature as well as a contact person with
phone number. The application numbers should also be filled in.
6. Provide an amendment to the approved preliminary storm water pollution prevention
plan (SWPPP) that identifies "pollutants of concern" that could be generated by this type
of project. The SWPPP should show how this project conforms to the SWPPP approved
with the Master Plan. The preliminary SWPPP shall address what structural and non-
structural best management practices BMP's are (or will be) implemented to capture and
treat storm runoff to ensure compliance with new NPDES regulations.
7. The application submittal package needs to include a preliminary Geotechnical study
that identifies feasibility of, and recommendations for, the proposed development as it
relates to the site.
8. The typical street sections should be revised to reflect the City's "Livable Streets" design
criteria. Traffic has asked a question regarding semi truck access (Moving & Storage
vans) and for interface between Alicante as well as "D" Street. Show plan view details for
traffic circles.
9. Verify (with NCTD) and show locations of bus stops/turnouts on street system.
10. Please include retaining walls on typical cross section for proposed lots with a retaining
wall between them. It may affect all of the planning area typicals shown on sheet 2.
11. Please include the approved "Utility Plan for street cross sections (sheet 2).
12. Minimum text size is 1/10th ( _' walls between lots sheet 2 is a good example, are too
small)
13. The knuckle return must comply with the approved livable street standard. Show the
detail required to support this design.
14. Complete the slope condition near each intersection. The slope lines disappear, a sight
distance corner issue is evident. Again include the intersection detail necessary to
support this design, pop outs, sidewalks, parking, and landscaped corners.
15. Show all corner cutoffs for intersections and traffic circles.
16. Show alley type returns where alleys meet streets (driveway ramp condition is not
supported).
17. The Tentative Map must use numbered lots (no lettered lots will be permitted).
ISSUES OF CONCERN
Planning:
1. Some of the lots are deigned in such a way that the goal of having homes face the
street to create community character and "eyes to the street" cannot be realized.
The list of lots includes Nos. 8, 76, 77, 179, 180, 181, 182, 183, 184, 270, 282,
337, 342, 425, and 439.
2. The number of retaining walls between lots seems high.
3. It seems appropriate to design lots 37 - 55 and 395 - 411 as alley lots. Both
blocks front onto main roads and in part face parks.
4. Because of topography, Planning Area 12 is significantly separated from the
community facilities which are the focus of the master plan. To offset the
segregation, lots 475, 476, 485, and 486 could become a passive neighborhood
park.
5. Please provide justification relating to the master plan goals and the Ahwahnee
Principles for the slope heights greater-than 40 feet in Planning Area 9.
Engineering:
1. The street frontage width of panhandle style lots must be 32' wide (lots 8 & 56). Check
with Planning on this issue it may be 33' with a different width at the setback.
2. Lot 76 and 77 must be redesigned to incorporate street frontage, an alley fronting lot is
not supported. Lot 76, 77 and 78 needs to have the minimum frontage required.
3. Consider Design Speed for profiles shown on sheets 10 through 12. Sight Distance
issues, street lighting and safety concerns will stretch out proposed vertical curves.
