TRACT 10979 (Stevens Square)
PU~.IC IMPROVEM~gT
~TI(I~:
That the Tustin City Council, at their meeting of August 17, 1981, authorize the
following:
a. Construction of a five (5) foot wide sidewalk along the Main Street frontage
of Tract 10979.
b. Decorative paving at the "B" and "C" Street curb returns consisting of real
brick or concrete-type pavers.
c. Brick paving within the parkway area at the entrance of the old Stevens
house on Main St.
BA~2KGROUSD:
The subject development is identified as Tract No. 10979 (Stevens Square) and is
located on the southerly side of Main Street between "B" and "C" Streets. The
development was previously approved with standard sidewalk improvements along the
Main Street frontage. The Gfeller Development Cc~pany is requesting a deviation from
the standard, sidewalk improvements.
PROPOSAL:
The developer is proposing a five (5) foot wide sidewalk and a landscaped parkway
across the Main Street frontage in lieu of a full twelve foot concrete sidewalk,
stamped concrete brick pattern sidewalk landings at the curb returns and brick paving
in the parkway at the main entrance in front of the old Stevens house.
ANALYSIS:
In previous discussions with the City Council, it was determined that the E1 Camino
Real and Main St. sidewalk improvements should be of a~ooth surface so that no
walking impairments would be provided to the pedestrian.
In lieu of the standard concrete surface, staff recommends either a real brick
surface or concrete pavers simulated to appear as brick. Ead~ curb return will
require the construction of handicap ranl0s, which also require a relatively smDoth
surface.
