BUCKEYE RANCH - PROJECT DESCRIPTION PAGE 5 gates would be installed at the point at which Forest Lake Road reaches the subject property. In addition, the property is served by an entrance off of a private right- of-way from the extension of Jahant Road. it is not contemplated that this existing access point would serve the intended development other than as an access point for the stables and the eastern portion of the property which will be left in a natural state. The 2.5 miles of paved roads within the project will be privately owned and maintained by the Homeowners' Association. Some cul-de-sacs with adequate turnarounds for fire equipment will be necessary. Bridaes The project will require construction of four on-site bridges crossing the lake at different points and one bridge crossing the Mokelumne River. it is anticipated that all of the bridges will be free spans, supported on driven pilings or drilled columns and will require minimum amounts of fill for approaches. We are currently looking at utilizing 85 and 90 foot railroad flatcars specially modified to meet HS-20 highway ratings. Conceptual designs are in process for: 1. Typical cross sections of roads. 2. Typical lake crossing. 3. Approaches and bridge. 4. Typical culvert crossing. 5. Typical entry gates. 6. Plan for abandonment of Forest Lake Road. 7. Easements (if necessary) over private lots. Pedestrian A joint equestrian/pedestrian trail system will meander around the perimeter of the property. Due to the low levels of traffic, the private roads will be used to provide pedestrian access between the homes. The holes of the golf course will be connected by a pedestrian trail system. GOLF COURSE The firm of Weiskopf and Morrish has prepared a design for the 18-hole golf course. The design calls for a "links" style course laid out to take maximum advantage of and preserve the natural topographic and aesthetic values of the site. The "links" style course incorporates the natural non- irrigated groundcover into much of the fairway. This construction method greatly reduces watering requirements and creates a very interesting and challenging course.
