MOUNTAIN HOUSE NEIGHBORHOOD'F"PROJECT INITIAL STUDY Grant Line Road. Grant Line Road is an existing east-west arterial south of and outside the project site. The traffic study completed for the applicant concluded that some intersection improvements at the intersection of Grant Line Road and Mountain House Parkway would be warranted during buildout of the project. Interstate 205 Interchange. An interchange currently exists at Mountain House Parkway and I-205. The traffic study completed for the applicant indicates that the project would result in peak hour trips for the eastbound I-205 on-ramps that would warrant temporary signalization. No other specific improvements were found necessary for the proposed project. According to the Master Plan, specific improvements on the I-205 interchange would be triggered with subsequent subdivisions within the Mountain House New Community. The initiation of the Caltrans' Project Study Report(PSR)for the interchange would also be triggered with subsequent subdivisions, but not with the proposed project. Other Internal Roads. New internal streets within Neighborhood "F" would be constructed as the project builds out. Some of these would be local streets and cul-de-sacs and others would be collectors that connect to other collectors and arterials(see Figure 2). Transit. Transit stops are proposed along De Anza Boulevard and within Neighborhood"F"on the north side of the K-8 school at the center of the site(see Figure 2). Bus stop shelters are also proposed within a variety of locations. Telephone. Telephone and cable service would be provided by the CSD who may subcontract with another entity to provide such service to residents and businesses within the project. Electrical/Gas Lines. Electricity is to be provided by the Modesto Irrigation District and gas service is to be provided by Pacific Gas&Electric Company. These two companies would be responsible for constructing the necessary infrastructure for these services. A natural gas regulator station is proposed to be constructed at the comer of Mountain House Parkway and Mascot Boulevard. Relocation of existing gas lines is addressed in Section K of Chapter V of this Initial Study. A Modesto Irrigation District Substation is proposed to be constructed outside of the Mountain House New Community, west of the proposed water treatment facility(see Figure 3). Construction of this substation is not evaluated in this Initial Study as it is the subject of a separate environmental review document(Ashby, 2000). Fire Station. A temporary fire station is proposed to be constructed along De Anza Boulevard just north of Mountain House Boulevard or a permanent station at Mascot Boulevard and Central Parkway(see Figure 3). This station would include a building for fire protection equipment and living quarters for fire station staff. Other. Relocation and removal of on-site storm drainage, irrigation and gas lines has been addressed in separate reports prepared by the applicant. 7. Parks and Open Space The applicant has proposed a 5.02-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.
