III. Reasons for Recommendations and Background: (Continued)
In order to mitigate the potential concerns of the property owners, CCTA, County and Caltrans
staff have held several meetings with the Pomo Court residents. As a result of these discussions
with the homeowners, several changes to the construction plans have been recommended by
CCTA, and reviewed and approved by County and State staff for inclusion into the current
contract.
The changes include moving Evora Road twenty feet further from the homes, installing a
combination crash barrier and noise wall, replacing landscaping, revising the Evora Road/Willow
Pass Road intersection geometrics and the proposed Evora Road grade. Property on the south
side of Evora Road was acquired to accommodate stage construction and, therefore, allows the
changes.
IV. Consequences of Negative Action:
There are no consequences of negative action.
