He said external and internal traffic circulation were reviewed and approved by the Traffic Engineer and Fire Department. He said the internal street is wide enough to permit parking on one side of the street only. He described the Mediterranean-design theme of the units and described the exterior and floor plans. He said the noise impact has been addressed by an acoustical consultant and described the types of masonry walls that would be installed in the project -- ranging from a 12-foot-high wall adjacent to the railroad to a standard, 8-foot wall -- to achieve acceptable decibel levels. He said the entry to the development would have a decorative wall with landscaping. He said Harding-Lawson Associates has conducted an on-site hazardous materials assessment and noted it was necessary to mitigate to remove hazardous waste, including asbestos. He said contamination was found in the groundwater, but this property is not the source of the contamination. He said there will be a Condition in the CC&R's stating no wells or uses of groundwater are permitted unless the California Regional Water Quality Control Board gives its approval . He said the Planning Commission recommended approval of the re-zone, the Precise and General Development Plans, the two Negative Declarations, and the Tentative Map. Council Member Polvorosa asked who would be responsible for maintaining the graffiti on the soundwall . Steve Meyers, City Attorney, said it would be the responsibility of the homeowners' association to maintain both sides of the soundwall . In response to a question, Mr. Penaranda said parking would be permitted on one side of the street in order not to restrict emergency access. He said Magnolia Lane has similar parking, and the on-site parking has proven to be adequate. Council Member Corbett asked how long the driveways would be. Mr. Penaranda said they would be the standard 18-1/2-foot stall , and the CC&R's contain requirements related to RV's. In response to questions, he said noise from BART had not been taken into account because it is a far enough distance away not to impact the project. He said there would also be soundproofing in walls, double- glazed windows, and good insulation. In response to a question from Council Member Kerr, Mr. Penaranda said approximately 30% of the lot would be covered. •
