Monterey, and Mission), one Arts and Crafts Movement style(Craftsman), and one American Wood Heritage style(Traditional)would be used throughout the development. A minimum of three different architectural styles would be provided for each floor plan. Vehicular Circulation and Parking. Vehicular access to each of the sub-neighborhoods of the development from surrounding public streets would be provided via two or three entry points. (See Figure 5 at the end of "Project Description".) These entry points may be gated.Vehicular circulation would be provided by private streets and shared drives that would be maintained by an entity acceptable to the MHCSD. Private streets would have a pavement width of 25 feet; shared drives would have a pavement width of 18 feet. Parking on private streets and shared drives'would be prohibited. Guest parking would be provided in parking bays along private streets, located adjacent to shared drives, and included at the end of shared drives. Pedestrian Circulation. Pedestrian circulation and connectivity within and adjacent to the proposed development is illustrated in Figure 6 at the end of"Project Description". Sidewalks would be provided only along public streets adjacent to the development and along entrances to the development. Within the development, private streets and driveways would be designed to accommodate pedestrians and bicyclists. Pedestrian and bicycle access to the linear park(see discussion below)would be achieved by numerous paths from the paseos, shared drives, and circulation streets of the development to the multi-use trail within the linear park. Linear Park. The linear park component of the proposed development is an extension of the linear park system being developed south of Grant Line Road.The intent of this open space feature and amenity is to provide residents with a way to travel to local destinations by means other than automobiles. The multi-use trail within the linear park would be extended and included on a portion of Prosperity Street south of the development,tying the linear park to a system of trails leading to a number of services and recreational amenities within Mountain House. (See Figure 7 at the end of"Project Description".) The linear park section of the development north of Teixeira Avenue is approximately 2.0 acres. South of Teixeira Avenue,there are approximately 2.6 acres of linear park within the proposed development.Another 0.5 acres is expected to be included in other sub-neighborhoods(i.e., sub-neighborhoods D5 and D6)that are not a part of the proposed development. Public pedestrian and bicycle access to the linear park would be provided via connections to the multi-use trail of the linear park on the west side of De Anza Boulevard (the terminus of the linear park), the southeastern side of Hydrangea Glen (the local residential street bordering the development on the north), the north and south sides of Teixeira Avenue, and the east side of Prosperity Street. Additional connections to the multi-use trail are expected to be made from sub-neighborhoods D5 and D6. It is anticipated that the linear park would be developed in two phases, one north and one south of Teixeira Avenue. Improvements to the linear park segments are planned to take place as follows: 1)construction of the north segment would begin by the time 50%of the building permits for sub-neighborhoods D2 and D4 have been issued,with completion occurring by the time 80%of the dwellings in sub-neighborhoods D2 and D4 have been issued occupancy permits;and 2)construction of the south segment would begin by the time 50%of the building permits for sub-neighborhoods D3, D5,and D6 have been issued,with completion occurring by the time 80%of the dwellings in sub-neighborhoods D3, D5, and D6 have been issued occupancy permits. Walls.A masonry wall (soundwall)would be provided along the residential edge of De Anza Boulevard (i.e., along the eastern boundary of sub-neighborhood D4). (See Figure 8 at the end of"Project Description".)A wail maintenance easement 5 feet in width would be provided where necessary to allow.the MHCSD to make repairs. Along the linear park, it anticipated that a masonry community wall and/or view fencing would be incorporated as patio or courtyard fencing for individual units. All soundwalls, community walls, and view fencing would be constructed in accordance with the MHCSD Design Manual and MHCSD Standards. Solar Energy Opportunities. The proposed private residential streets, shared drives, and paseos within the development would generally have an east-west orientation. This orientation would optimize the ability of residences to use solar energy. In addition, the tree species to be used throughout the development would be 6
