S1~bject: Why K9Grass for Dog Parks?

Hi John,
Rick asked me to send you this quick email. I understand you are considering a
2. 75 inch or 1. 75 inch pile unitary backed product for a dog park? That would be
similar to many of our products that we would use for landscaping, even if people
have a few dogs, fyi. That is a fine product for a back yard, I am sure.
However, for a dog park, this is why I do not recommend that sort of product:
• It is not designed for dogs. It is typical landscape turf.
• MANY dogs on that type of turf will lead to A LOT of urine and fecal matter on the turf
• The fecal matter has to completely qecompose before it can be "flushed" out of that backing·.
• Fecal matter leads to bacteria, and possibly parvo and giardia.
• The taller pile height allows for the fecal matter and urine to get trapped in the turf, and that also
leads to odors
• Would you put a shag carpet in a kitchen? A bathroom around the toilet?
• If you did put carpet in a kitchen or bathroom, it would be SHORT pile, and easy to clean up,
right?
• K9Grass not only has an anti-microbial component, it is a short pile with a knit backing
• Poop is easy to clean up off of K9Grass, but not off of taller pile height landscape turf.
• Water and urine flushes through K9Grass knit backing immediately -even any poop not picked up
can be pushed through K9Grass with water pressure.
• The unique knit construction of the K9Grass is unique to K9Grass.
• K9GRASS is a NO INFILL product. The Turf International product will require sand and rubber, or
all sand.
• Sand and rubber, or all sand, is just another place for fecal matter to get trapped.
• With K9Grass, if maintained and installed properly, you will not have odor issues. With ~LL other
turf you will. ·
• Architects and designers of pet facili'ties always specify K9Grass.
• Any turf factory can claim a product is a "dog product." However, you have to examine the
products, run them under a faucet, and consider how many dogs will be on the turf.
• When you have problems with other turf, you will have regrets, and intelligent people with a little
internet searching will say "HOW COME WE DID NOT DO OUR PARK WITH THE RIGHT STUFF?!
WHY DIDN'~(WE 'USE K9GRASS?"
· Take a look at the backing and product here:
http://www.k9grass.com/prC?duct. html
The issues and reasons why that turf you have specified is wrong is the 'same
reason a shag carpet is wrong for a kitchen. It is simply THE WRONG FLOORING
MATERIAL FOR THE APPLICATION. It is a fine product for other applications, but
.not recommended for a dog park. Pretty and natural looking should not be
strong considerations. It has to be practical. Taller turf is not practical, especially
if dogs are using the turf as a potty or bathroom.
FQR A DOG PARK -The Kentucky Blue 1. 75" pile is not practical. IT IS TOO
TALL, WRONG BACKING, and will hold odor and bacteria. However, if it is an
exercise yard only, and NOT USED AS A GIANT DOG POTTY -then it and plenty
of products may work, especially if they have stronger yarns that can handle the
heavy traffic of dogs.
Let me know if you have_ an~ questions.
We appreciate your interest in Field of Green and ForeverLawn -Grass Without
Limits.
Thank you,

Mayor of Arroyo Grande
Arroyo Grande, Ca. 93420
REQUEST FOR IMMEADIATE CEASE AND DESIST FOR TRAFFICE INFRACTIONS FOR VIOLATIONS OF 25
MPH SPEED LIMIT ON FARROLL RD BETWEEN OAK PARK BOULEVARD AND ELM STREET.
Dear Mayor Hill,
On November 2, 2015 at 7:00 AM on Sunday morning I was cited by an AG Officer for violation of the
basic speed limit which is posted at 25 MPH. The basis of this speed limit is the purported "Senior Center
Facility'' law in California.
I challenged the ticket in traffic court on January 15, 2015 and was found not quilt.
The Judge's decision is self-explanatory. The enforcement of this speed limits violates the Ca VC sec.
40802 (a) and (c) which defines a speed trap.
It is the judge's decision that the City of Arroyo Grande and the Arroyo Grande Police are operating a
speed trap on the above mentioned roadway.
Therefore the City of Arroyo Grande City Council should take immediate steps to insure no further
innocent citizens suffer the embarrassment and financial insult which was handed to me that morning.
In addition the officer I believe violated my civils right by enforcing California vehicle Code from private
church property. It is my opinion this violates the basic tenet that there must be a separation of church
and state. The infraction also occurred on Sunday the Sabbath. Supposedly the officer had permission
from the church to set up his speed trap on the Landmark Baptist Church property. This further fuels the
idea of collusion between church and state which is in my opinion a violation of my first Amendment
rights.
The Landmark Missionary Baptist Church also no longer has the Central Coast Christian Academy (CCCA)
on their premises. The CCCA left the property last summer yet the signage for the school still persists. It
must be removed.

, 2014, the defendant was cited for violating Vehicle Code §22350. The basis for
the citation w Vehicle Code §22352(b)(3) which establishes a 25 mile per hour prima facie
speed limit for eas adjacent to senior citizen facilities. According to the officer the defendant
was travelling pproximately 45 miles 1per hour; however, ·the defendant stated that his speed was
3 7 miles per h ur, 2 miles per hour over 35 mile per hour zone preceding the senior ce~ter
--=--housing-area;-. he-Defertdant-:admitted he aid-Iiot--see th~enit>r €itizen'FacilitJ?.~~stgn:libove-tlie
twenty-five mi e per hour regulatory speed sign. The basis for the officer's determination of
speed was by e of a radar device.
22352 establishes a "prima facie" 25 mile per hour speed zqne in three situations;
namely, reside tial and business districts; school zones; and senior center or facility zones. The
latter is con · ed in subsection (b) (3) and provides that the local governing body has authority
to determine t an appropriate sign be "implemented" to notice the zone. According to Vehicle
Code §21400 e sign must conform to standards established by the California Department of
Transportation According· to the evidence it appears that the sign establishing the "senior zone"
complies with e Manual ~n Uniform Traffic Control Devices, 2014 edition.
The difficulty i that there was no evidence on the detellDination by the City of Arroyo Grande to
implement the rima facie 25 mile per hour zone. This becomes important in light of Vehicle
Code §40802 hich defines a speed trap. If section 40802 applies and no engineering and traffic
survey was ev uated in-the process of determining the speed zone then the officer was
incompetent to testify pursuant to Vehicle Code §40804 and the defendant should be found not
guilty.
Vehicle Code· 40802 (a) and (c) defines a speed trap-~ any section of highway when radar is
used where a p · a facie speed limit is established under the Vehicle Code unless the speed limit
is supported b a traffic and engineering survey. The exceptions are local streets or roads and
school zones. ·s position is supported by People v. Studley, (1996) 44 Cal.App. 4th Supp. 1, at
1
~·.,··Jo""'""""°'""""" ••o•••
"'\ ~'.f?..."~ .... • . -~ :: 1-< ... -. . . ,,
.a
Supp. 3, where the court stated: "[A]fter close reading of the statutes in question, we find the
Legislature's , tipathy toward any radar-based prosecution of any speed law violation in any
posted zone, w. ere the prima facie speed limit is not justified by proof of a timely engineering
survey, is abso nte and unequivocal."
Because no en · eering and traffic survey was introduced the officer became incompetent to
testify and ther fore tl!ere are no facts to support the speeding charge. Consequently, the
defendant is fo d not guilty.
Notwithstand' g, it should be noted that it is this court's assumption that there.is in existence a
traffic and en · eering study which supports the 35 mile an hour zone surrounding the senior
center area. e court does not intend this ruling to mean that a separate traffic and engineering
study needs to e done to support the senior facility speed zone. But at a minimum the existing
study, or any tore study, should discuss the factors which justify the establishment of the zone
and its length. How else then could the local authority determine that ''the proposed signing
should be impl mented?" (See Vehicle Code §22352(b )(3)).

Hi Robert,
Page 1of1
Thanks for your hard work. I live at 411, across the street from the Japanese
property.
Sadly, I disagree with most of the issues on the proposed list. I wish we could (j)
keep the property agricultural. However, realistically, I know that isn't
possible. Keeping the speed limit 25 and not having 2 *ry houses fronting
our houses and ® ~
having a safe way to enter/exit our driveway are the only other issues I agree
with. (D
When Ed Dorfman proposed his development, one of the issues we brought up
was that the Village is a friendly community where people walk often and feel
part of a small community. His development included a fence that would
separate his homes from ours, which was the opposite of that feeling. I
couldn't stomach the meeting on the 31st and there weren't enough seats so I
didn't stay to share my point of view.
I hope they don't widen the street because I think that rather than making it
more safe for us, it will instead just encourage them to increase the speed limit
back to 34 or 40 and the people coming from Huasna already go 10-15 miles
faster so they will probably continue to speed on through and run the stop signs
like they do now. The police almost never patrol this street and they probably
won't in the future so I think things will get even worse.
It would be really nice if some one story homes faced our homes to keep that
small town feel. Having a place where our family or friends could park when
they visit us would be very welco.me also.
Yours truly,
Laurel W!1/iams

DATE: ~anuary 16, 2015
TO: City Engineer and Traffic Commission
FROM: Robert Johnson, 277 East Cherry Avenue
SUBJECT: Monitoring of Posted Speed Limit
The following survey is based on observation of vehicular traffic on East Cherry Avenue,
from Traffic Way easterly to the intersection of Pacific Coast Railway. With the aid of
a speed monitoring device) traffic speeds·were recorded from 1-08-15thru1-16-15.
By observation, the narrow substandard lanes do not influence drivers to respect the
posted speed limit of 25 miles per hour. The geometric length of the roadway tends
to allow drivers to' accelerate from intersection to intersection. Vehicles tend to accelerate
quickly within the first 200 feet, by mid-point speeds peak, and deceleration begins less
than 200 feet from the. next stopping point.
This survey is based on the following:
*a speed monitoring device placed approximately 150 feet westerly of the intersection
of Pacific Coast Railway.
*recording of vehicular speeds on nine (9) days at random hours; the counts·were
based on the travel speeds of 100 vehicles each day, or as noted; speed inte~als of
.five miles per hour, plus and minus two miles per hour above and below-the five mile
per hour intervals.
Date Speed Interval Time of Day

Average 17% 36% 29% 16% 2%
This study does not count vehicle.speeds of east and: west bound traffic separately ..
Use 11-06-14 Traffic-Count Study
,
Notes:
r
1.Seventeen, percent of one hundred vehicles drove at or less than 25 miles-per hour.
2. Two thirds of the vehicle speeds are less than 35 m.p.h., perhaps due to the combined factors
of the monitoring device and the posted 25 m.p.h. speed zone sign.
3. In the spring/summer of 2014 a speed study was performed in the 500 & 600 blocks of East Cherry
Avenue. In combination with this new traffic monitoring study, an assessment can be made about
drivers willingness to obey a posted speed limit. The· studies· present the· opport1:Jnity to compare
an improved residential street with substandard roadway improvements of similar lengths.
4. The studies can be use as a tool in the mitigation of passive traffic control devices to maintain
roadway speeds acceptable to the neighborhood, particularly livability and resident safety,
while providing. for motor vehicle efficiency.

TO: THE CITY ENGINEER AND THE MEMBERS OF THE TRAFFIC COMMISSION
FROM: THE NEIGHBORS OF THE ONE TO 300 BLOCK OF EAST CHERRY
AVENUE AND SURROUNDING NEIGHBORS ON ALLEN STREET AND
LUANA lANE.
REFERENCE: THE WIDENING OF EAST CHERRY AVENUE SOUTHERLY OF THE
EXISTING 28 FOOT RIGHT-OF-WAY FROM TRAFFIC WAY EAST
TO PACIFIC COAST RAILWAY.
BASED ON SURVEYS OF CALIFORNIA CITIES PRACTICES AND PUBLIC OFFICIAL
ATTITUDES REGARDING RESIDENTIAL STANDARDS AND NEIGHBORHOOD
TRAFFIC CONTROL; THE NUMBER ONE CONCERN IS RESIDENTIAL STREET
SAFETY AND STREET PERFORMANCE. INADDITION TO THE FOLLOWING:
"'TO PROVIDE LIVABILITY AND SAFETY IN THE RESIDENTIAL ENVIRONMENT
"'RESOLVE CONFLICTS ASSOCIATED WITH LIVABILITY AND GEOMETRIC
DESIGN OF RESIDENTIAL STREETS.
"'MITIGATE THROUGH TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT AND CONTROL PROGRAMS
"'CONSIDER THE EXTANT OF RESIDENT'S COMPlAINTS ABOUT TRAFFIC
PROBLEMS ON THEIR STREETS THAT MIGHT INDICATE AN INCONSISTENCY
BETWEEN PROFESSIONAL PRACTICES, AS MANIFESTED IN STREET DESIGN
STANDARDS AND ITS ACTUAL PERFORMANCE AS EXPERIENCED BY
THE RESIDENTS.
WHEN TRAFFIC VOLUMES INCREASE BEYOND WHAT IS CONSIDERED
NORMAL BY LOCAL RESIDENTS, OR VEHICLE SPEEDS INCREASE BECAUSE
OF STREET DESIGN, SOCIAL STREET ACTIVITIES ARE GREATLY REDUCED,
AND THE FEELING OF WELL BEING IN THE AFFECTED NEIGHBORHOOD IS
THREATEN. THIS CAN BE ATTESTED TO BY CONDITIONS AND CONCERNS
SUBMITTED TO THE TRAFFIC COMMISSION AT THE OCTOBER 2014 MEETING.
FURTHER, CAN BE ATTESTED TO BY SIGNATURES SUBMITTED TO THE CITY
ENGINEER AND THE POLICE CHIEF DATED NOVEMBER I 5, 2014.
TO DATE, 90 PERCENT OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD HAVE SIGNED AND MADE
THEIR CONCERNS PUBLIC.

NOTE:
DUE TO THE ROAD TRANSITION AT P.C. RAILROAD STREET, PARKING IS RESTRICTED
ON THE NORTH SIDE OF THE STREET.
TO SAFEGUARD RESIDENTS WHEN BACKING-OUT INTO THE TRAVEL WAY A SAFETY
BUFFER IS DESIRED.
RESERVING THE 8 FOOT AREA THAT WOULD BE UTILIZED FOR PARKING, CREATING
A COMBINATION BIKE LANE AND SAFETY 11AREA BARRIER11 BETWEEN VEHICLE TRAFFIC,
BIKERS AND PEDESTRIANS. MOST IMPORTANTLY WOULD CREATE A LONGER LINE
OF SIGHT FOR RESIDENTS BACKING OUT OF DRIVEWAYS.
THE 8 FOOT WIDE SAFETY ZONE CAN AVOID UNSAFE PASSING AROUND MAIL AND
TRASH TRUCKS INTO ON-COMING TRAFFIC.
EXISTING STREET IMPROVEMENT CONDITIONS
THE GEOMETRIC DIMENSION OF THIS PORTION OF EAST CHERRY AVENUE
IS ONE QUARTER MILE IN LENGTH. THE PAVEMENT WIDTH IS 22 FEET
ACCOMMODATING EAST AND WEST BOUND TRAFFIC. AT THE TRAFFIC WAY
INTERSECTION THE PAVEMENT WIDTH IS 40 FEET. ALLOWING FOR THREE
TRAVEL LANES. AT THE PACIFIC COAST RAILWAY INTERSECTION THE
PAVEMENT WIDTH IS 39 FEET FROM GUTTER TO GUTTER.
THE NORTH SIDE Of THE STREET IS IMPROVED WITH SIDEWALK, DRIVEWAYS
CURB AND GUTTER. AND IS POSTED 11 NO PARKtNG AT ANY TIME".
THE EXISTING SIDEWALK, WITH CURBING. IS SIX FEET IN WIDTH. THE BACK
OF SIDEWALK REPRESENTS THE NORTHERLY STREET RIGHT-OF-WAY LINE.
PRESENTLY. WEST BOUND VEHICLE TRAFFIC PASSES WITHIN TWO FEET OF
THE FACE OF CURB.
THE LOCATION OF THE SIDEWALK VERSES THE ROAD EDGE DO NOT MEET
11 1TE GUIDELINES 11 UTILIZING 11AREA 11 BETWEEN THE ROAD EDGE AND THE SIDE-
WALK AS A PHYSICAL BARRIER BETWEEN PEDESTRIANS AND VEHICLES.
· THE EXISTING CONDITIONS AT THE TWO ABOVE INTERSECTIONS MEET THE
DESIGN STANDARDS FOR RESIDENTIAL STREET DEVELOPMENT PAVEMENT
WIDTHS, THOUGH THE TRAVEL WAY BETWEEN THE INTERSECTIONS IS
SUBSTANDARD, BASED ON THE CRITERIA STANDARDS FOR A RESIDENTIAL
STREET AND BELOW THE LEVEL OF SERVICE OF ALL OTHER VILLAGE STREETS.
, THE 11 PURPOSE AND INTENT11 OF THE INPLACE IMPROVEMENTS ALONG THIS
PORTION OF EAST CHERRY AVENUE, WERE TO PROVIDE ACCESS TO THE
RESIDENTIAL HOMES ON THE NORTH SIDE OF THE STREET. THE DESIGN
STANDARDS REQUIRED THAT TWO LANES WERE NEEDED TO ACCOMMODATE
INGREE5 AND EGRESS TO THE NORTH SIDE PROPERTIES. THUS A RIGHT

AT A MEETING WITH POLICE DEPARTMENT OFFICIALS, THE CITY ENGINEER AND
NEIGHBORHOOD RESIDENTS ON DECEMBER I 0, 2014, TRAFFIC SPEEDS
AND PAVEMENT WIDTHS WERE DISCUSSED AND HOW THE STREET WIDTH
DETERMINES THE SPEED LIMIT. TO MAINTAIN THE 25 MPH SPEED LIMIT THE
PAVEMENT WIDTH BETWEEN CURBS WOULD HAVE TO BE 40 FEET OR LESS.
BASED ON PUBLIC OFFICIAL SURVEYS OF OVER 50 CALIFORNIA CITIES, A
70 PERCENT MAJORITY REQUIRE 3G TO 40 FOOT PAVEMENT WIDTHS AND

"FLEXIBILITY' -SUCCESSFUL IMPLIMENTATION OF A TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT
PLAN ACCEPTED BY THE LOCAL COMMUNITY AND INVOLVEMENT WITH
CITY GOVENMENT IN THE STREET DESIGN AT ALL STAGES OF DEVELOPMENT.

THE PLAN
The plan street design will provide the essense of hvabil1ty associated with
the surrounding neighborhood environment, a sense of well being, be
aestet1cally pleasing, social activ1t1es will increase, and with the traffic
management scheme, bring a perception of street safety and an effective
way to reduce speeds without compromising safety. and improving traffic
circulation for pedestrians, motor vehicles and bicycles.
THE PLAN ATTEMPTS TO ACHIEVE THE FUNCTIONAL NEEDS CONSISTANT
WITH GENERAL PLAN CIRCULATION TRANSPORTATION ELEMENTS, BE
CONSISTANT WITH GENERAL PLAN PARK AND RECREATIONAL ELEMENTS
AND MEET GENERAL GUIDELINE STANDARDS FROM THE MUTCP UNDER THE
STATE HIGHWAY CODE ESTABLISHING SAFETY DESIGN CRITERIA FOR
BICYCLE TRAVEL.
WITH THE IMPLIMENTATION OF AN ACCEPTED TRAF.FIC MANAGEMENT PLAN
UTILIZING PASSIVE TRAFFIC CONTROL DEVICES WILL PROVIDE SEPARATION
AND SAFETY BETWEEN THE MOVEMENT OF MOTOR VEHICLES AND
PEDESTRIAN SOCIAL ACTIVITIES AND MOST IMPORTANTLY BRING THE
PERCEPTION OF STREET SAFETY FOR THE NORTH SIDE RESIDENTS OF
EAST CHERRY AVENUE WHEN ENTERING THE TRAFFIC TRAVELED WAY.
TO MAINTAIN THE CURRENT SPEED LIMIT OF 25 M.P.H. A 40 FOOT WIDE
PAVEMENT WIDTH IS APPLIED FOR THE TRAVEL WAY. THE PROPOSED
PAVEMENT WIDTH IS BOUNDED ON THE NORTH BY THE INPLACE CURB AND
GUTTER, BOUNDED ON THE SOUTH BY CONSTRUCTION OF BULB-OUTS WITH
PEDESTRIAN RAMPS. THE TRAVEL WAY CONSISTS OF TWO STANDARD
12 FOOT TRAFFIC LANE AND TWO BICYCLE LANES WITH AN 11 AREA BARRIER"
SEPARATION BETWEEN MOTOR VEHICLES, BIKERS. AND MOST IMPORTANT
PEDESTRIANS WALKING ON THE NORTH SIDE OF EAST CHERRY AVENUE.
WITH THE INSTALLATION OF LONGITUDINAL STRIPING. SIGNAGE, PEDESTRIAN
CROSSWALKS AND PLACEMENT OF TREES ALONG THE ROADWAY AND
PARKWAY WILL CONTRIBUTE TO THE REDUCTION OF PHYSICAL AND OPTICAL
WIDTH OF TtjE STREET RIGHT-OF-WAY, RESULTING IN LOWER DRIVING SPEED
WITHOUT COMPROMISING SAFETY.
THE PLAN DESIGN WILL BRING TO THE NEIHBORHOOD THE NEEDED SENSE
OF WELL BEING AND ACHIEVE COMMUNITY CONNECTIVITY.

SUBJECT: THE WIDENING OF EAST CHERRY AVENUE SOUTHERLY OF THE EXISTING I •
1 28 FOOT RIGHT-OF-WAY FROM TRAFFIC WAY EASTERLY TO RAILROAD STREET.
I
WITH! ANTICIPATION OF THE FUTURE DEVELOPMENT OF THE PROPERTIES ON THE SOUTH
SIDE!OF OUR STREET, WE ARE EXPRESSING OUR VIEWS OF THE EXISTING SUBSTANDARD
IMPROVEMENTS AND CURRENT SAFETY ISSUES ON OUR STREET.
I
I
j
CUR.~NT ISSUES, CONDITIONS AND CONCERNS EXPERIENCED EACH DAY:
!
*EXCESSIVE SPEEDING
*NO LAW ENFORCEMENT PRESENCE TO ENFORCE THE POSTED SPEED LIMIT.
*HA\ijlNG TO BACK OUT INTO TRAFFIC SAFf:LY INTO SUBSTANDARD TRAVEL LANES.
I
*ACqESSING MAIL BOXES AND TR.ASH CONTAINERS WITH SAFETY.
*BACKED-UP TRAFFIC BEHIND GARBAGE TRUCKS, SCHOOL BUS, AND MAIL TRUCK PRESENT UNS~FE PASSING CONDITIONS INTO ON-COMIMG TRAFFIC.
I
•UNSAFE PASSING TO THE RIGHT ONTO THE DIRT SHOULDER AND AGRESSIVE PASSING TO
THE!LEFT INTO ON-COMING TRAFFIC BY VEHICLES BEHIND RESIDENTS SLOWING DOWN TO
TO TURN INTO RESIDENT DRIVEWAYS.
•sAFhY FOR PEDESTRIANS WHILE WALKING FROM DUST AND DEBRIS THRONE UP BY
PASSING VEHICLES WITHIN TWO FEET OF THE CURB AND GUTIER.
I
I
•sAFETY FOR PARENTS AND THEIR CHILDREN WHO HAVE TO PARK ON THE SOUTH SIDE
OF THE STREET AND CROSS THE STREET TO BOARD THE MORNING SCHOOL BUS.
I
"SAFETY FOR CHILDREN AND ADULT BIKERS, RUNNERS, AND WALKERS (CHILDREN AND ELDERS)
WH(i) UTILIZE EAST CHERRY AVENUE GOING TO SCHOOL AND GROUP EXERCISE.
I
• EN\YIRONMENTAL ISSUES CONCERNING EXCESSING NOISE FROM SEMI-TRUCKS HAULING
FARM EQUIPMENT AND PRODUCE, FULL SIZE TRUCKS WITH EXTRA WIDE TRAILERS, AND
ALU VEHICLES EMITIING GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS AND THE AIR QUALITY FROM DUST.
I
THISiONE-QUARTER MILE STRETCH OF ROAD, BY ITS LENGTH ENCOURAGES SPEEDING, ESPECIALLY
ONCE DRIVERS LEARN THE ROAD CONDITIONS, SUBSTANDARD OR NOT.
I
I
WE BELIEVE THAT THE CITY SHOULD EXCER.CISE A REASONABLE STANDARD OF CARE IN CONSIDERING
I ALL CDF THE APPLICABLE STANDARDS AND HOW THEY APPLY TO THIS SPECIFIC SITUATION IN ORDER
TO 9AFEGUARD LIFE, HEALTH, PROPERTY AND THE PUBLIC WELFARE.
WE UNDERSTAND THE FUTURE STREET IMPROVEMENTS WILL BE A POSITIVE ELEMENT TO THE
NEIGHBORHOOD AND THE COMMUNITY AS A WHOLE, AND IMPROVE TRAFFIC CIRCULATION.

WE !BELIEVE THAT FUTURE STREET IMPROVEMENTS SHOULD BE ABOVE THE LEVEL OF SERVICE
ANl"' DESIGN STANDARDS UNDER THE CIRCULATION ELEMENT DESIGNATION FOR A COLLECTOR
I
STl)EET IN THE CITY'S GENERAL PLAN AND MORE PARTICULARLY BE CONCIDERED A SEPARATE
SUB-AREA WITHIN THE PROPOSED SPECIFIC PLAN, WHICH BY NATURE HAS ITS OWN SPECIFIC
I
REQUIREMENTS SEPARATE FROM THE PROPOSED DEVELOPMENTS.
FINALLY, WE BELIEVE THE DEVELOPERS OF THREE PROPERTIES SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE
FOR IMPROVING THE FULL LENGTH OF EAST CHERRY AVENUE, AND BEING THE DEVELOPMENTS
WILL BENIFIT FROM THE IMPROVEMENTS, ALL COSTS SHOULD BE THE RESPONSIBLllY OF
THEj THREE PROPERTIES PRIOR TO BOUNDARY ADJUSTMENTS ON THEIR SIDE OF THE ROADWAY.
