RELATED FILES: TENTATIVE TRACT MAP SUBTT18747; DEVELOPMENT REVIEW DRC2009-00010, VARIANCE DRC2010-00963, AND TREE REMOVAL PERMIT DRC2010-00964. SITE CHARACTERISTICS: The project area is a parcel of about 146,000 square feet(3.4 acres). The overall dimensions of the site are approximately 442 feet (east to west) by approximately 331 feet (north to south). The site is vacant. There are several trees at the west and south sides of the project site; low vegetation otherwise dominates the site. To the north, south, and west of the project site are single-family residences. To the east are a single-family residence and an operations facility for a telephone company. The zoning of the property and all surrounding properties is Very Low (VL) Residential District, Etiwanda Specific Plan. The subject property is generally level with a southeasterly slope;the elevations at the northwest and southeast corners are approximately 1,462 feet and 1,448 feet, respectively. An east-west Community Trail bounds the north perimeter of the project site. A north-south Local Feeder Trail bounds the west perimeter of the project site. Both trails were constructed with the corresponding residential subdivisions to the north (Tract 16116) and west (Tract 12870). BACKGROUND: The applicant proposes to construct a standard Local Feeder Trail 'loop' to connect to the trail system which will provide the future homeowners access to the City's trail network (Exhibit B). Starting clockwise at the northeast corner of the project site, the loop will connect directly to the aforementioned Community Trail that is located along the north perimeter of the project site. The alignment of the loop will be north-south along the east perimeter of the project site (east sides of Lots 2, 3, and 4). At the southeast corner of the project site the loop will 'turn' west and continue along the south perimeter of the of the project site(south side of Lot 4). The loop will then 'turn' northward at the common property line between Lots 4 and 5 and terminate at the proposed extension of Arapaho Drive. All lots will have direct access to the feeder trail except Lot 1 which will have direct access to the Community Trail. At the southeast corner of Lot 2 a'turnaround' will be provided to allow equestrian-related vehicles to enter and exit the feeder trail in a forward direction. ANALYSIS: The proposed subdivision is located in the Very Low(VL) Residential District, Etiwanda Specific Plan, within the Equestrian Overlay District, which requires the development of Local Feeder Trails (private equestrian easements). The average lot size for the proposed project is 25,835 square feet, which exceeds the Development Code's requirement of 20,000 square feet to keep horses. Horse corral areas with the minimum 24 feet by 24 feet dimensions have been provided and are shown on Sheet A1.02. Each corral is provides a minimum 70' buffer between the nearest dwelling unit on adjacent properties as required by the Development Code. The proposed feeder trail will comply with the minimum technical and construction standards. To control access, at the intersection of the trail with Arapaho Road a widened entry, a gate, and a walk-through will be constructed per City standard. Similarly, at the intersection of the trail with the Community Trail a walk-through will be constructed per City standard (vehicle access onto the Community Trail is not permitted). The horse corral locations are immediately adjacent to the proposed trail that serves each. Along the side of, and parallel to, the trails will be a concrete swale for drainage purposes; these swales will not be within the trail itself and will be within a separate 5' TRAILS ADVISORY COMMITTEE AGENDA DEVELOPMENT REVIEW DRC2009-00010 AND TENTATIVE TRACT MAP SUBTT18747 — K.U. & ASSOCIATES, INC.

Consistent with prior Trails Advisory Committee direction, a 6-foot high block wall will be provided on both sides of the trail (instead of white PVC trail fencing). Major/Secondary Issues: The following broad design issues will be the focus of Committee discussion regarding this project. NONE Policy Issues: The following items are a matter of policy and should be incorporated into the project design without discussion. 1. The depth of the concrete swales shall not exceed 6-inches. 2. A culvert shall be provided where water must be conveyed from one side of the trail to the other side, i.e. at the concrete swale/trail intersections located at the southwest and southeast comers of Lot 4. 3. The slope along the west side of the trail on the west side of Lot 4 shall be landscaped with ground cover for erosion control; the use of decomposed granite on the slope is not permitted. RECOMMENDATIONS: Staff requests that the Trails Advisory Committee review the proposed trail layout and provide input and direction.
