FROM: PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT/ENGINEERING DIVISION
REQUEST TO REMOVE PARKING RESTRICTIONS ON MYFORD ROAD AND
SUBJECT: HERITAGE WAY (ARCADA CONDOMINIUM DEVELOPMENT -EAST TUSTIN TRACT
NO. 13096)
RECOMMENDATIONS:
It is recommended that the City Council, at their meeting of February
16, 1993, deny the request to remove parking restrictions on Myford Road
and Heritage Way adjacent to the Arcada Development, and maintain the
existing parking prohibitions on Myford Road between Bryan Avenue and
Heritage Way and on Heritage Way between Myford Road and Bryan Avenue.
BACKGROUND:
At the City Council meeting on December 21, 1992, the Council considered
an item entitled, "Request to Remove Parking Restrictions on Myford Road
and Heritage Way". A copy of the noted agenda item is attached for your
information.
After considerable discussion of the item, the Council directed staff to
conduct an internal study to consider easing parking restrictions on
Myford Road and Heritage Way.
DISCUSSION:
The Engineering Division staff has prepared a traffic evaluation study
investigating the possibility of allowing on -street parking on Myford
Road between Bryan Avenue and Heritage Way and on Heritage Way between
Myford Road and Bryan Avenue. A copy of the study is attached for your
information.
Based upon the study, it has been determined that on -street parking
should not be allowed on Heritage Way since this would compromise
traffic safety on the street by further impeding already limited
vehicular visibility and would also preclude the future addition of
.planned bicycle lanes on Heritage Way.
It has also been determined that any attempt to modify the street
striping on Myford Road to provide on -street parking would require the
relocation of traffic signal loop detectors and re-signing the area to
reflect the changes. It would also preclude the implementation of a
left -turn pocket for accessing the future development on the site to the
west side of Myford Road opposite the Arcada Development (currently
designated a potential Elementary School site), - and would eliminate the
existing left -turn median area, thereby increasing the City's liability
exposure by creating a possible increased potential for rear -end type of
accidents.
Based upon the study, it is concluded that the overall citywide
traveling public is best served by maintaining the current parkins
restrictions on Myford Road and Heritage Way.

REQUEST TO REMOVE PARKING RESTRICTIONS ON MYFORD ROAD AND
SUBJECT: HERITAGE WAY (ARCADA CONDOMINIUM DEVELOPMENT -EAST TUSTIN TRACT
NO. 13096)
RECOMMENDATIONS:
Pleasure of the City Council.
BACKGROUND:
The City has.received a letter dated November 12, 1992 from the
Arcada Community Association and two letters and a petition dated.
November 23, 1992 and November 30, 1992 from Mr. James C. Barnes,
a resident of the Arcada Development, regarding the noted subject.
Copies of the three letters and the petition are attached for your
information.
The Arcada Development is located in the East Tustin area and is
bordered by Myford Road, Heritage Way, and Bryan Avenue.
Currently, parking is prohibited on all of the aforementioned
streets.
When built -out the Arcada Condominium Development will contain 240
condominium residences.
DISCUSSION:
It has been noted that the attached.petition was not submitted by
the Arcada Community Association and that it contains signatures
from duplicate addresses.
If the Council so directs, the City's Traffic Engineering Section
will coordinate a study of the subject request and investigate the
feasibility of removing parking restrictions on Myford Road and
Heritage Way. It should be noted that there are several other
developments within the East Tustin area• that may experience
similar situations and any relaxation of on -street parking in this
area may set a precedence for the EastTus}in Community.,
The Engineering Division will require outside consultant assistance
to fully prepare such a study. However, funding for such types of
studies have not been included in the current Engineering Division
budget.

RE: ARCADA COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION
MYFORD & BRYAN, TUSTIN
Dear Mr. Ledendecker,
1. .
NN 161M
,TUSTIN PUBLIC WORKS DEPT.,
Per your telephone conversation of October 22, 1992 with Jack
Caswell, President of the Board of Directors of the above
referenced association, please accept this as a request for the
Council's consideration of allowing parking along Heritage.
I am sure you are aware from your. conversation with Mr. Caswell of
our existing parking problem -in that each resident within Arcada
has two (2) assigned parking spaces, and for the 237 residents (at
build -out) there will be a. total of 95 guest parking spaces,
including two (2) handicap spaces.
We* have requested that residents register their vehicles with the
Association and in reviewing this information, find that many
residents have grown children or other situations which have
resulted in three or four vehicles per .unit. Based on the
registration information, we expect that we will have 500-60.0
vehicles belonging to residents trying to park within their own
community, not to mention visitors and guests. As you can see,
this. severely limits the spaces for the. parking of a third or
fourth owned car, or a visitor's vehicle.
Even if residents utilized the guest parking areas, there will
still be a drastic shortage of spaces, thereby forcing residents
and their guests to park on city streets in other neighborhoods.
The Board of Directors of this Association has spent countless
hours in meetings and research in an effort to resolve the parking
problem within their community. The Board has been attacked by
residents who have more than two vehicles and have no place to park
them, as well as hearing from unhappy residents who have visitors
over with no place to park.

Dear Mayor Pontius,
I recently mailed you a petition signed by me and a number of my
neighbors asking for relief from the No Parking restrictions on
Myford*Road or Heritage Way, adjacent to the Arcada Community.
In support of our petition I would like to point out that there are
two vehicle code statutes, section 22507 and section 22507.5 which
provides local authorities the right to grant special parking
privileges to residents of communities such as Arcada who reside in
"high density, multiple family dwelling areas or similar areas
lacking adequate off street parking facilities."
Thank you for your consideration of this matter.
Sincerely,

PETITION TO REMOVE PARKING RESTRICTIONS ON MYFORD ROAD
The residents of the Arcada community are facing a great
hardship due to a lack of adequate parking in the development.
Nearly every unit in the development has at least two adults
who each have a vehicle, and many have three vehicles.
Due to the number of residents who own vehicles, it has
become necessary for some residents to use the parking
designated for guests. As a result, the guest parking has
effectively been eliminated, and, in many instances, the only
alternative is for people to park illegally in the fire lanes
which are painted red.
Because of this situation, the undersigned residents
petition the Tustin City Council to remove the restriction on
parking on Myford Road, between Heritage and Bryan Road.
Myford Road is sixty feet wide and there is ample room to
safely permit street parking.
We request that Myford Road be restriped with a double
yellow center line, eliminating the painted divider, with a
left turn pocket for traffic turning into Arcada from westbound
Myford.
Such a configuration would permit a ten foot lane on each
side of the double line,. and a second lane of twenty feet,
including the parking lane.
The undersigned residents feel the present restriction on
parking on Myford Road is creating an arbitrary and unnecessary
hardship on the residents of the Arcada conur.unity.
We respectfully request your assistance in this matter and
request this change be made as soon as possible.

Dear Mayor Pontius:
Attached is a petition seeking relief from a problem of
great concern to residents of the Arcada community.
My neighbors and I feel the city should grant some relief
in this matter since we believe the city is partially
responsible for approving the Arcada development without
adequate provisions for parking.
Approximately ninety percent of the residents who were
asked signed the petition: -A few persons who did not sign the
petition were concerned that no restrictions on street parking
would being people from outside the community to use the Laurel
Glen park across the street from Arcada.
If the city does not want to have unrestricted parking on
Myford Road or Heritage Way, I would ask that permit parking be
considered. The city could sell parking permits to residents,
as other cities have done, and -either Myford Road or Heritage
Way could be posted "NO PARKING EXCEPT BY PERMIT".
.If the city charged $10 or .$15 per month for a parking
permit, this would greatly alleviate our problem.
Thank you for your consideration of this matter. Any
correspondence regarding this matter should be directed to me.
I can be contacted a` 714-724-5492 days, and 714-731-2774

We are requesting that parking be permitted along Heritage from
5:00 p.m. to 8:00 a.m. seven days per week. This would greatly
benefit the members of this association and ease the parking
problem within the community.
We would appreciate you hand -carrying this request to the City
Council with a request that this matter be placed on the agenda for
the earliest possible meeting.
Please do not hesitate to contact me should you have any questions
or need further information.

FEBRUARY 1993
SUBJECT AND RECONM1ENDED ACTION:
The City Council of the City of Tustin, at their meeting of
December 21, 1992, directed staff to prepare an internal study to
consider easing parking restrictions on Myford Road and Heritage
Way in the East Tustin area of the City.
The study prepared by. the Engineering Division of the Public Works
Department evaluated the possibility of allowing on -street parking
on Myford Road between Bryan Avenue and Heritage Way as well as on
Heritage Way between Myford Road and Bryan Avenue.
The study indicates that based
evaluation, it is recommended
existing parking prohibitions on
upon the subject traffic study
the City Council maintain the
both subject streets.
STATEMENT OF ISSUES OR PROBLEMS:
The City has received a letter dated November 12, 1992 from the
Arcada Community Association and three letters and a petition dated
November 23, 1992, November 30, 1992, and December 24, 1992, from
Mr. James C. Barnes, a resident of the Arcada Development,
requesting removal of parking restrictions along Myford Road
between Bryan Avenue and Heritage Way, and along Heritage Way
between Bryan Avenue and Myford Road.
The aforementioned correspondence claims that due to the lack of
adequate parking within the Arcada Condominium Development (East
Tustin Tract No. 13096) the residents are forced to use the
available guest parking within the development and may ultimately
be forced to park on City streets in other neighborhoods.
Certain Arcada residents have requested that parking be permitted
along Heritage Way from Myford Road to Bryan Avenue between the
hours of 5:00 P.M. and 8:00 A.M. Also, these residents have
requested that Myford Road be restriped between Bryan Avenue and
Heritage Way with a double -yellow centerline, eliminating the
painted median, and thereby allowing on -street parking on Myford
Road. The correspondence also suggest that the subject streets
could be posted for permit parking only, with permits being issued
to the Arcada Community Association residents.
The correspondence from the aforementioned residents of the Arcada
Community Association is included in Appendix A of this report.
IN MODUCTION AND BACKGROUND:
The Arcada Development is located in the East Tustin area of the
City and is bordered by Myford Road, Heritage Way, and Bryan Avenue
_._ as shown in Figure I. In accordance with the East Tustin Specific
Plan, on -street parking is currently prohibited on the public
streets bordering the Arcada Development, as well as all other
public streets in the East Tustin Specific Plan area.
The Arcada Development project was approved in May 1988 by City of
Tustin Planning Commission Resolution No. 2498. According to
Resolution No. 2498, the site was approved with a zoning
designation of Medium High Density Residential which is consistent
with the planned land uses in the East Tustin Specific Plan. A
copy of Resolution No. 2498 and the Conditions of Approval for this
project have been provided in Appendix B of this report.
It was determined during the planning and review process for this
site that the number of on-site parking spaces provided for this
project was adequate for the approved site plan. Resolution No.
2498 established that on-site parking conditions for the site shall
provide for 474 parking spaces permanently and irrevocably assigned
to the individual condominium units at the rate specified in the
East Tustin Specific Plan. Also, an additional 95 guest parking
spaces were to be established and designated. guest parking only.
When the Arcada Condominium Development is completely built -out it
will contain 240 condominium residences. It is anticipated that
with project built -out, all of the on-site parking requirements
will be in compliance with the Conditions of Approval for this
site.
In the Conditions of Approval, it states that on -street parking
shall not be permitted on Heritage Way. Furthermore, it indicates
that parking is not permitted on Myford Road subject to final
approval of the City Engineer. Consistent with the Conditions of
Approval for this project as well as with the East Tustin Specific
Plan, parking is currently prohibited on Heritage Way, Myford Road,
and Bryan Avenue throughout the East Tustin area.
Pursuant to City Council direction, this study will evaluate and
re -analyze the issue of on -street parking on Myford Road and
Heritage Way within the limits requested by the noted residents of
the Arcada Development.
DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS:
Parking On Heritage Way
Heritage Way is currently constructed as a two-lane undivided local
collector street with a right-of-way width of 60 -feet and curb to
curb pavement width of 40 -feet. The 20 -foot half -street section
would accommodate a 12 -foot travel lane and an 8 -foot parking lane

or bicycle lane.
Parking along both sides of Heritage Way between Myf'ord Road and
Bryan Avenue is currently prohibited, which is consistent with the
parking provisions in the East Tustin Specific Plan. This section
of Heritage Way includes a 550 -foot radius horizontal curve section
from Myford Road to the Arcada Development access street of
Descanso as shown in Figure 2.
Since vehicular visibility is severely limited on the west side of
Heritage Way within the curved section adjacent to the Arcada
Development, parking would normally be prohibited from the aspect
of traffic safety. This concern was previously expressed by the
Public Works Department during the City's Planning Commission
meeting of May 23, 1988 regarding this site. In the noted Planning
Commission report, the Public Works Department identified several
vehicular visibility limitations on Heritage Way and recommended
that a sidewalk not be provided along the west side of Heritage Way
to help prevent mid -block pedestrian crossings in this area. A
copy of the applicable section from the May 23, 1988 Planning
Commission report is included in Appendix C of this study.
From a vehicular visibility aspect, parking could be allowed on the
east side of Heritage Way adjacent to the Estancia Development.
However, since this is a public street, there is no guarantee that
residents from the Arcada Development would get a parking space.
Community concern has been expressed in a letter (Appendix D) from
an East Tustin resident that points out among other things, the
disparity of allowing on -street parking exclusively for one
community and not for others.
Staff has also reviewed the possibility of parking along the west
side of Heritage Way between Descanso and Bryan Avenue as shown on
Figure 3. Based upon a sight distance evaluation of the access to
the Arcada Development at Descanso, it was found that adequate
visibility requirements for the safe traffic movements at this
location would be severely compromised if on -street parking were
allowed. Figure 3 also depicts the line -of -sight requirements at
the Descanso/Heritage Way intersection.
In reviewing the City's future bikeways plans, it is indicated that .
both sides of Heritage Way are planned for on -street Class II
bikeways to complete the link from Parkcenter Lane to Bryan Avenue
The current half -street configuration readily accommodates a travel
lane and a bicycle lane without on -street parking. The
installation of combination parking lanes and bicycle lanes is not
recommended nor is it practiced by the City at this time.
Based upon the previous discussion, allowing any type of parking on
Heritage Way, including permit -only parking, would adversely impact
the necessary sight distance requirements to safely negotiate
traffic movements at the Descanso access, would further hamper
vehicular visibility of drivers on the street, and may cause claims
of disparity among residents of other communities within the East

Tustin area.
Parking On Myford Road
Myford Road is currently constructed as a four -lane secondary
arterial roadway with a painted median between Bryan Avenue and
Irvine Boulevard, which is consistent with its master planned
status. Also, consistent with the East Tustin Specific Plan,
parking is currently prohibited along both sides of Myford Road.
Within the 80 -foot right-of-way on Myford Road, the 64 -foot
pavement section includes a twelve -foot painted median, two twelve -
foot travel lanes adjacent to the median, and two fourteen -foot
travel lanes adjacent to the street curbs. The painted street
median serves as a refuge area for vehicles negotiating left -turn
movements into and out of the Arcada Development at Greco. Figure
4 represents the current street striping on Myford Road between
Bryan Avenue and Heritage Way.
Sight distance concerns for vehicles exiting the Arcada Development
at Greco were evaluated and are shown in Figure .4. From this
analysis it can be seen that parking must be prohibited along the
east side of Myford Road adjacent to the Arcada Development due to
the existing curb' lane width of fourteen -feet, which will only
accommodate a through travel lane.
Sight distance requirements were also evaluated for Myford Road
based upon a modified striping plan which assumes parking on the
east side of Myford Road next to the Arcada Development. To allow
parking in this area would require a minimum 20 -foot curb lane
along the east side of Myford Road. To accommodate a 20 -foot curb
lane would require the removal of the painted median and a total
restriping of the street to reflect a single double -yellow
centerline with travel lanes as shown in Figure 5.
To restripe Myford Road in this area with only a centerline double -
yellow stripe will eliminate the possibility of implementing a
northbound left -turn pocket for access into a future development on
the west side of Myford Road opposite the Arcada Development (this
is currently designated a potential Elementary School site).
Additionally,. modified striping on Myford Road would necessitate
the relocation of traffic signal loop detectors to accommodate the
modified travel lanes as well as re-signing the area to reflect the
changes. Also, the left -turn refuge area currently within the
painted median would be eliminated, forcing southbound left -turning
traffic to stop in the fast lane of traffic to access the Arcada
Development at Greco. The elimination of the median left -turn
refuge area would subject the public to a potential safety hazard
and could increase the frequency of rear -end type of accidents.
Based upon the evaluation of sight distance for the modified
striping plan, approximately five vehicles could be allowed to park
on the east side of Myford Road as shown in Figure 5.

It is anticipated that as the East Tustin area grows and develops,
Myford Road will be more heavily used as an alternative route to
Jamboree Road and Tustin Ranch Road as was originally planned in
the East Tustin Specif is Plan. There also exist the future
possibility of a Myford Road overcrossing at the I-5 Freeway. This
would provide another north -south arterial accessing the
southeastern part of the City. The overcrossing possibility is
currently being investigated as part of the General Plan
Circulation Element Update.
CONCLUSIONS AND RECOAMENDATIONS:
Both Myford Road and Heritage Way are constructed to their ultimate
master planned status consistent with the East Tustin Specific
Plan. On -street parking is currently prohibited on both subject
streets and on -street bicycle lanes are planned for both sides of
Heritage Way in the near future.
At this time, to allow parking on Heritage Way between Bryan Avenue
and Myford Road would compromise traffic safety by impeding
vehicular sight distance and would also preclude the future
addition of planned bicycle lanes.
Any attempt at this time to modify the street striping on Myford
Road to allow on -street parking could preclude future opportunities
to provide left -turn pockets for left -turning vehicles into the
Arcada Development as well as future access into the site across
from the Arcada Development on the west side of Myford Road, which
is currently designated as a potential Elementary School site.
It would be expected that the restriping of Myford Road would
increase the City's liability exposure by removing the left -turn
median area and creating a possible increased potential for year-
end type of accidents.
Based upon the information presented within the subject traffic
evaluation study, it is recommended by the City's Engineering
Division that the City Council maintain the existing parking
prohibitions on both Heritage Way between Bryan Avenue and Myford
Road and on Myford Road between Bryan Avenue and Heritage Way.

TUSTIN PUBLIC WORKS D EPT.1
Per your telephone conversation of October 22, 1992 with Jack
Caswell,. President of the Board of Directors of the above
referenced association, please accept this as a request for the
Council's consideration of allowing parking along Heritage.
I am sure you are aware from your conversation with Mr. Caswell of
--our existing parking problem -in that each resident within Arcada
gas two (2) assigned parking spaces, and for the 237 residents (at.
build -out) there will be a total of 95 guest parking spaces,
including two (2) handicap spaces.
We have requested that residents register their vehicles with the
Association and in reviewing this information, find that many
residents have grown children or other situations which have
resulted in three or four vehicles per unit. Based on the
registration information, we expect that we will have 500-600
vehicles belonging to residents trying to park within their own
community, not to mention visitors and guests. As you can see,
this severely limits the spaces for the parking of a third or
fourth owned car, or a visitor's vehicle.
Even if residents utilized the guest parking areas, there will
still be a drastic shortage of spaces, thereby forcing residents
and their guests to park on city streets in other neighborhoods.
The Board of Directors of this Association has spent countless
hours in meetings and research in an effort to resolve the parking
problem within their community. The Board has been attacked by
residents who have more than two vehicles and have no place to park
them, as well as hearing from unhappy residents who have visitors
over with no place to park.

Dear Mayor Pontius:
Attached is a petition seeking relief from a problem of
great concern to residents of the Arcada community. -
My neighbors and I feel the city should.grant some relief
in this matter since we believe the city is developmentlally
without
responsible for approving the Arcada
adequate provisions for parking.
Approximately ninety percent of the residents who were
asked signed the petition: •A few persons who did not sign the
petition were concerned that no restrictions otostreethearking
would being people from outside the community
Laurel
Glen park across the street from Arcada.
If the city does not want to have unrestricted parking on
Myford Road or Heritage Way, I would ask that permit parking be
considered.. The city could sell parkincermits torresideHeritnts,
as other cities have done, and -either Myford
ge
Way could be posted "NO PARKING EXCEPT BY PERMIT".
If the city charged $10 or $15 per month for a parking
permit, this would greatly alleviate our problem.
Thank you for your consideration of this matter.. Any
correspondence regarding this matter should be directed to me.
I can be contacted at 714-724-5492 days, and 714-731--2774

PETITION TO REMOVE PARKING RESTRICTIONS ON MYFORD ROAD
The residents of the A-rcada community are f acing a great
hardship due to a lack of adequate parking in the development.
Nearly every unit in the development has at least two adults
who each have a'vehicle, and many have three vehicles.
Due to the number of residents who own vehicles, it has
become necessary for some residents to use the parking
designated for guests. As a result, the guest parking has
effectively been eliminated, and, in many instances, the only
alternative is for people to park illegally in the fire lanes
which are painted red.
Because of this situation, the undersigned residents
petition the Tustin City*Council to remove the restriction on
parking on Myford Road, between Heritage and Bryan Road.
Myford Road is sixty feet wide and there is ample room to
safely permit street parking.
We request that Myford Road be restriped with a double
yellow center line, eliminating the painted divider, with a
left turn pocket for traffic turning into Arcada from westbound
Myford.
Such a. configuration would permit a ten foot lane on each
side of the double line,. and a second lane of twenty feet,
including the parking lane.
The undersigned residents feel the present restriction on
parking on Myford Road is creating an arbitrary and unnecessary
hardship on the residents of the l,rcada community.
We respectfully request your assistance in this matter and
request this change be made as soon as possible.

I recently mailed you a petition signed.by me and a number of my
neighbors asking for relief from the No Parking restrictions on
Myford'Road or Heritage Way, adjacent to the Arcada Community.
In support of our petition I would like to point out that there are
two vehicle' code statutes section 22507 and section 22507.5 which
provides local authorities theright to grant special parking
privileges to residents of communities such as Arcada who reside in
"high density, multiple family dwelling areas or similar areas
lacking adequate off street parking facilities."
Thank you for your . consideration of this matter.

' TUSTIN PUBLIC WORKS DEPT.
I would like to offer my suggestions and assistance in
resolving the parking problem the Arcada community is
confronted by.
I have checked out a number of residential streets similar
to Heritage Way where there is unrestricted parking on both
sides. The streets are from 34 to 38 feet wide.
Heritage Way is 38 feet wide by my measurement, but because
of the curvature of the street, I would concur with the council
member who said it did not appear to be safe for parking in the
present configuration. I think we can overcame that objection
by moving the double yellow line two.feet away from the Arcada
project and creating a 21 -foot lane, with parking on the Arcada
side, and a 17 -foot lane on the other side with no parking.
Myford Road is 60 feet wide and I would suggest the painted
divider be replaced by a double yellow line in the center of
the road. This would provide for an 11 foot lane and a second
lane of 19 feet with parking on each side.
As it was pointed out to the Council, Laurel Glen Park is
virtually isolated because of a lack of any parking.
I would appreciate the opportunity to meet.with you before
you present your report to the Council.
ThanA. you for your cooperation and assistance in this
matter of critical importance to the residents of the Arcada
community.
If there is anything I can do, please do not hesitate to
call me at 714/724-5492 days, 714/731-2774 evenings.

proposed architecture is of high quality and is consistent with the desired
architecture for the East Tustin Area.
Hardscape features of the project proposed the use of decorative street
lighting, pole lighting fixtures and entry signage consistent with the main
design theme for the project.
While a concept landscaping plan has been submitted, the plan"A's only
illustrative with the actual quantities, species and location of landscaping to
be determined at plan check. In addition, complete irrigation plans will need
to be submitted at plan check. The landscaping concept proposed for the project
consists of the following climate tolerant evergreen and decidious trees: (1)
theme tree - Eucalyptus 'rosea'; (2) secondary theme tree - Mondel pine; (3)
Loop Road accent tree - Southern Magnolia; (4) greenbelt accent tree - Chinese
Flame tree; (5) parking court accent - Sweet Shade., (6) garden area accent -
Sronze Loquat; and (7) recreation area accent tree - Queen Palm. In addition to
trees, a variety of shrubs and ground cover materials are proposed. Staff would
only suggest incorporation of sod areas within the interior of the project.
As indicated above, precise coverage

Security gates and fencing - The project has been designed to incorporate a
variety of fencling elements to secure the site, however, security gates have not
been required for vehicular or pedestrian access. This project site is located
in an area where there is only one elementary school adjacent to the property.
Should illegal entry and parking occur, the Homeowner's Association will have
enforcement capabilities.
Pedestrian/bicycle paseos - The project incorporates three paseos, two facing
Myford Road and one at Heritage Way and Bryan Avenue. These paseos provide the
appropriate points of entry/exit for access to bus stops and activity nodes.
However, the*Public Works Department has specified concerns over pedestrian
movement along Heritage tray from Myford Road to the secondary vehicular entry.
No sidewalk has been provided in this area in order to avoid mid -block
pedestrian crossings in an area where vehicular visibility is limited. This
limited visibi1ity is caused by the curve in Heritage Way at this section of
road.
Driveway lengths - In all cases, there are short driveways from the units in
this project. The maximum driveway length is 9 feet and all units are to be
equipped with garage door openers. The loop roads which front the driveways are

RE: PARKING ON HERITAGE WAY OR MYFORD ROAD
MY HUSBAND AND I JUST READ THE ARTICLE IN THIS WEEKS' LOCAL
PAPER REGARDING THE PARKING SITUATION FOR ARCADA. WE LIVE IN THE
ESTANCIA COMMUNITY ON HERITAGE WAY. OUR ASSOCIATION HAD VOICED
THE SAME QUESTIONS ABOUT NEEDING MORE SPACE FOR CARS. THANKFULLY,
WE 'TALKED `.CHEM OUT OF IT.
WE'MOVED TO THIS KIND OF ATMOSPHERE SO THAT WE WOULD NOT HAVE
TO SEE JUNK CARS, RV'S AND TRUCKS PARKED FOR WEEKS ON END IN ONE
SPOT. IT MAKES THE NEIGHBORHOOD LOOK CROWDED AND DIRTY BECAUSE
YOU CAN'T GET THE STREET SWEEPER IN FOR INSTANCE. IT'S TRUE ,
THE PEOPLE USE THEIR GARAGES FOR STORAGE AND THAT'S WHY THEY
CAN'T PARK THEIR CARS. IF YOU DID ALLOW PARKING THERE'S NO
GUARANTEE THAT THE PEOPLE FROM ARCADA WOULD GET A PARKING PLACE.
THERE ARE SEVERAL APARTMENTS AND 2 OTHER TOWN HOUSE COMMUNITIES
NEAR BY THAT WOULD BEAT THEM TO IT. YOU CAN'T LET ONE PARK AND
NOT THE OTHER., I SEE ALL KINDS OF PROBLEMS ARISING FROM THIS.
LET'S NOT ENCOURAGE THEM BY GIVING MORE SPACE ON STREETS. WE
LIKE THE CLEAN, UN -CLUTTERED LOOK OF EAST TUSTIN. FOR -PEOPLE
WITH TOO MANY CARS, THERE ARE PLENTY OF HOMES FOR SALE IN OTHER
SECTIONS OF TOWN. AS FAR AS THE PARKING AT LAUREL GLEN --
WHY WOULD YOU NEED TO DRIVE'.TO THE PARK? ISN'T IT FOR THE
IMMEDIATE.NEIGHBORHOOD?
WE HOPE YOU WILL GIVE SERIOUS CONSIDERATION AND EXPLORE BOTH
SIDES BEFORE YOU REACH ANY DECISION. LET'S KEEP EAST TUSTIN
LOOKING CLEAN.
