WAY - WALNUT CREEK AREA) I Specific Request(s) or Recommendation s) & Background & Justification RECOMMENDATION Approve the 10-foot setback rlequirement for MS 65-84 on Boulevard Way. FINANCIAL IMPACT None REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION/BACKGROUND This regards the Board's decision of February 26, 1985 to continue John and Arlene Russell 's Minor Subdivision 65-84 hearing to March 19, 1985. Their appeal of the Public Works Department's requirement of a 24-foot setback from the Boulevard Wav right of way is to be resolved as a determination item. It is now recommended that only a 10-foot setback be required. We have contacted both Caltrans and the City of Walnut Creek to determine if there exist any potential projects in this area which may increase traffic volumes along Boulevard Way. Gene Poch, Chief of Project Development for Caltrans, informed us that no changes are planned for the Mt. Diablo off-ramp from I-680/24. There were concerns the ramp may be closed, which would have increased traffic volumes along Boulevard Way. Pat Flynn, City Engineer of Walnut Creek, informed us the City of Walnut Creek had no developments planned for this area. Jim Cutler, Contra Costa Countv Planninq Department, likewise stated he was no major development alonq this corridor. With this information, it seems evident Boulevard Way will not experience the traffic volumes originally anticipated. Therefore, we have re-evaluated our original proposal for this roadway and feel confident that 52 feet of pavement, within a 72-foot right of way, will be sufficient to handle anticipated traffic volumes. A 52-foot section would provide two 3_2-foot traffic lanes, one 12-foot two-way left turn lane and two 8-foot paved shoulders. This alignment would decrease the existing 24 feet of additional setback currently required to a 12-foot additional setback. However, to accommodate the development needs of Mr. Russell , we can accept a 10-foot setback along his frontage which will' only be a short distance. If the 10-foot setback requirement is approved by the Board, our next step will be to recommend that the current precise aliqnment map be modified to reflect our pr sed changes.
