units and businesses would be equipped with interior telecommunications hook-up terminals. All telecommunication facilities constructed within the community would be installed underground. 6. Parks and Open Space The proposed project includes a 5-acre neighborhood park that would be located adjacent to the K-8 school. The general layout and design of the park is shown in the Special Purpose Plan for Neighborhood "F"which was adopted by the County Board of Supervisors. The school facilities and neighborhood park would be jointly used by the community and the Lammersville School District under a Joint Use Agreement signed by the School District and the CSD. Construction of the neighborhood park would commence no later than at the issuance of 50 percent of the residential building permits for the neighborhood, and would be completed no later than the time of issuance of 80 percent of the residential building permits. In addition to the neighborhood park, a mini-park that would be provided in the southwest sub- neighborhood of the proposed project, is being recommended and included as a condition of approval. The Master Plan (Section 7.2.11, Policy (f) and Implementation Measure (e)) requires a mini-park of a minimum of/2 acre when any portion of a proposed subdivision is located more than '/z mile from the edge of the nearest neighborhood park. A total of 50 housing units are greater than '/z mile from the neighborhood park so that pedestrians or bicyclists would have to travel more than '/2 mile from their home to the neighborhood park (see Figure 6). Note: It is staffs position that the '/z mile from the neighborhood park to a mini-park should be measured as a person would walk or bicycle in that the purpose for the measurement is to determine a traveling distance from the residence to the park. Trimark contends that the measurement should be taken "as the crow flies," without regard to walking or bicycling, or other travel distances. A small portion of the residential area of Neighborhood "F" in the far southwest corner, consisting of a portion of one lot, is greater than one-half mile from the edge of the neighborhood park, "as the crow flies." A small mini-park of one-half acre could be provided within the southwest residential area, or in the public facility parcel at the corner, to serve that area. The 3.1 acre public facility parcel is currently planned for a fire station, which could require only a portion of the site. Master Plan Policy 3.8(a) requires that fire stations be located in or near commercial areas, or adjacent to public parks. At this time the proposed fire station at the corner of Central Parkway and Mascot Blvd. is not directly located near a commercial area or adjacent to a public park. The location of a park in this area would be consistent with the Master Plan. Other facilities include a Neighborhood Recreation Facility just east of this neighborhood park. This facility is anticipated to include a neighborhood pool and related facilities. A temporary sports field for team play, about 15 acres in size, is proposed north of the proposed project, north of Mountain House Boulevard (see Figure 4). This sports field would be accessed by way of an extension of either De Anza Boulevard or Providence Street, both north-south roadways that would cross Mountain House Boulevard. The temporary sports field would have final construction plans completed prior to the issuance of the 500`h residential building permit. Completion of construction must occur prior to the issuance of the 800`h dwelling unit permit. 7. Schools & Childcare Facilities The proposed project includes an on-site K-8 school ("Wicklund School"). However, the timing for the construction of this school is to be decided by the Lammersville School District. At this time, complete design and construction drawings have been approved by the Sate of California. Until the school is completed, children would be bussed to interim facilities, to be funded by Trimark, at -10-
