File Number: 16-556 Tract Map 6810 specifies a Public Access Easement (PAE) on Bayfront Drive from the Lewelling Boulevard circle to the western terminus of Bayfront Drive (see attached). This is to permit access to the Bay Trail west of the Heron Bay development (see attached excerpt of San Francisco Bay Trail Map). The intent of the PAE was to provide vehicle and pedestrian access on Bayfront to the Bay Trail. In addition, City Engineer’s Report and Conditions of Approval for Vesting Tentative Map Tract 6665 (an earlier Map to Tract 6810) requires a public access easement shall be provided over Bayfront Drive to allow for public pedestrian and vehicular ingress, egress and parking for access to the Shoreline Trail and the Interpretive Center. The purpose of the proposal is to discourage crime in the subdivision. Following the denial of the gates in 2014, the Association hired a firm for staffed presence during select day and night time hours to monitor vehicles coming into the community. The Association states that the presence of an attendant monitoring vehicles has had a positive impact on reduced criminal activity within the neighborhood since February 2015. DETAILS OF THE PROPOSAL Kiosk The kiosk would be situated on the Heron Bay Park property north of the Bayfront Drive sidewalk (see Exhibit A - Site Plan and Exhibit B - Enlarged Partial Site Plan and Floor Plan). It would have a setback of five feet from the covered canopy to the Bayfront Drive property line and three feet from the covered canopy to the Lewelling Boulevard right-of way line (property line). To accommodate the building, the following vegetation would be removed: one tree from the Lewelling Boulevard circle parkway strip; at least two of the existing poplar trees on the park property; and approximately 15 lineal feet of the box-shaped hedge along the park frontage. The kiosk comprises a floor area of 183 square feet which includes the attendant’s desk/office space, a rest room and small storage closet. The kiosk has heights ranging from 10 feet, four inches to the ridge line and 13 feet, six inches to a faux-chimney. Its exterior materials include painted stucco and wood, cultured stone, and aluminum framed windows (see Exhibits C - Perspectives, Colors and Materials and Exhibit D - Elevations). Anchorage Drive Anchorage Drive would be reconfigured to egress only. On Anchorage Drive, outside the Lewelling Boulevard circle, an automatic egress gate (barrier arm) would be constructed on the eastern half of the street and a drivable raised barrier with fold-over bollards and interlocking pavers would be constructed on the western half of the street. See Exhibit A -Site Plan and Exhibit E - Anchorage Drive Improvements (i.e., gate and raised barrier). These improvements wiouldll prevent resident and public traffic from ingress to Heron Bay via Anchorage Drive with the exception of emergency vehicle access. The proposed improvements were reviewed by the Alameda County Fire Department and found acceptable subject to conditions of approval. Page 3 City of San Leandro Printed on 10/13/2016
