CURTIS - A request to subdivide three parcels into 19 single-family residential lots and two lettered lots on 12.93 acres of land in the Very Low Residential (VL) District of the North Etiwanda Specific Plan, located on the west side of Wardman Bullock Road, south and east of Blue Sky Court - APN: 0226-081- 15, 16 & 17. CONTINUED FROM DECEMBER 12, 2012 Design Parameters: The applicant is proposing to subdivide 12.93 acres of vacant land into 19 lots for single-family residential development on the west side Wardman Bullock Road south of Blue Sky Court. This site is in the Very Low Residential District of the North Etiwanda Specific Plan. The lots in the tract will average approximately 25,000 square feet. The lot sizes range from 20,080 square feet to approximately 40,924 square feet. The applicant is not proposing any housing product at this time. The trails generally travel north to south in this subdivision and are all located at the rear of the lots. The trails along the west tract boundary and the trail access for Lots 9 and 10 along the south boundary are proposed to connect to the trail proposed for Tentative Tract Map 18741. An agreement still needs to be negotiated to achieve this connection. The applicants are proposing to have two-rail PVC trail fencing along the west and south tract boundaries. Although this is consistent with one of the City trail fencing standards, it is not consistent with the project to the south which has proposed three-rail trail fencing. The rear yards throughout the tract will have 6-foot high block walls. The proposed community to the south (Tentative Tract Map 18741), will need to allow access to their trail to allow riders and pedestrian access to the Community Trail on Wilson Avenue. If this is not allowed it would detach this neighborhood from the community trail system in that access will need to be allowed at the southwest corner of the tract so that all proposed lots will have access to the Community Trail. Both parties have been in contact with each other but no agreement has been made. Staff Comments: The following comments are intended to provide an outline for the Committee discussion regarding this project. Major Issues: The applicant worked hard with staff to follow the criteria outlined in the Development Code and Trail Implementation Plan. The one major issue regarding this project at this time is the access of the proposed project to the south to allow trail access to the Community Trail along Wilson Avenue. A step through can be installed where the connection is granted to restrict vehicle traffic as this is a concern for the applicant of Tentative Tract Map 18741. Minor Issues: A minor issue that requires discussion is that the applicants to the south are proposing three-rail PVC trail fencing and this applicant is proposing two-rail trail fencing along the west boundary. For consistency both projects should be required to provide the same number of rails and follow the same City standard. The Community Trail Standard allows for either design. Tentative Tract Map 18741 has already been to Trails Advisory Committee and recommended approval. Policy Issues: No policy issues at this time. Staff Recommendation: Staff requests that the Trails Advisory Committee members review the proposed Tentative Tract Map and recommend approval to the Planning Commission with a recommendation to have the applicant work with the applicant to the south to gain access to the trail that leads to the Community Trail on Wilson Avenue and recommend that the applicant provide three-rail fencing to be consistent with the project to the south. Staff Planner: Steve Fowler Action: The applicant Jonathan Curtis attended the meeting as the receiver of the project. Committee member Carol Douglass posed questions about the location of the trails and the ability of the lots to connect to the trail. The major and minor issues were addressed and the applicant agreed to provide three-rail trail fencing along the west boundary for consistency with the proposed tract to the south and is in discussion with the property owner to the south to obtain access to the trail system. The committee recommended that the application move forward with the staff recommendations. The meeting adjourned at 6:30 pm.
