Item No. 5 PC : 12-3-81 s-82-4 Page 2 REFERRALS AND REPLIES - Public Works Department - LAFCO - Pacific Telephone and Telegraph Company - Pacific Gas and Electric Company - The Pacific Gas and Electric Company has no objection to the map. However, we do maintain an existing pole line crossing the northerly portion of the subject area. If any relo- cation or undergrounding of these facilities is necessary for the pro- posed development, the cost will be borne by the developer. - Caltrans - Tracy School District - S .J. Delta College - Banta-Carbona Irrigation District - City of Tracy Planning - "Recommendation : " Denial. Due to the signi- ficant problems associated with on and off circulation, the project should be denied until they are addressed and resolved. The resolution of the traffic may effect the tentative map submittal. Basis for Recommendation : City may consider support if traffic problems resolved, however would want to review and comment on revised map. Although the proposed project conforms to the land use element of the City of Tracy General Plan, there are serious concerns which must be addressed and resolved prior to the project proceeding, specifically, the circulation--both onsite and offsite. Business Loop I-205 is a very high speed truck traffic corridor for Tracy. As a result, turning maneuvers into and out of the project has the potential to create a dangerous intersection. Crossing traffic on Business Loop I-205 has historically been a traffic problem evidenced by the signals and advanced, flashing warning signs at Kasson and Business Loop I-205. And, more recently, the concerns over the hazardous intersection at Grantline and Business Loop I-205 where Grantline has only stop signs. (See attached press editorial in file) . Therefore, a qualified traffic engineer should evaluate the situation and provide measures to insure safe crossing maneuvers. Such measures could include signals and turn lanes, acceleration and deceleration lanes. Similarily, onsite circulation should be reevaluated to provide a more comprehensive analysis of the entire area to insure the onsite circula- tion is consistent with the offsite circulation flow. A comprehensive specific plan for the area should be developed that will address such circulation problems and the future land uses, im- provements, signs, landscaping, etc. as this is used as an entry portal to the City of Tracy and its improvement should be consistent with the City requirements.
