B. HG Fenton Erma Road Project:
1. Allen Jones of HG Fenton reviewed residential project: Covers 3.9 acres, commercial office designation, proposes 95 residential units. Originally Wisteria proposed 114 residential and 35K commercial space for this site. H G Fenton proposes 44 units/acre, 12 buildings, 5 different building types, all units in each type are connected by Paseo/Courtyards.
2. Kirk McKinly presented changes to project: Proposed 3 story townhouse units with 2-car connected garages, 2 and 3 bedroom units, undecided whether they will be for sale or rental. 80% of guest parking is along the access road, 45 spaces on site for guest parking. Garages will not be allowed to use as storage.
3. In-Lieu Fee will be paid for inclusionary housing on this project. Reclaimed water is available on Erma Road for use in irrigation.
4. Landscape to be consistent with current community landscape with some Eucalypus and Pine trees. Retaining wall material to be consistent with plant material appropriate for slope, hedge and will be integrated with the surrounding structures.
5. Traffic Report expanded study area from Scripps Ranch Blvd to Scripps Canyon, Miramar to Black Mountain Road. This project is estimated to generate 760 trips per day units. City Staff is reviewing the application, HG Fenton is waiting for comments, City Staff will review the EIR. Parking Ratios of adjacent developments to this site was requested to be presented at the next presentation to SRPG.
C. Sunrise PowerLine Update from SDG&E:
Finalize document in October 08, PUC is selecting, approving and routing the documents. Starts at Sycamore Canyon Substation and comes along Scripps Poway parkway to Torrey Hills and connect to a substation to the west side. PUC is looking at cutting costs, impact of stopping power grid at Sycamore Canyon. If eliminated, existing wires will be taken down and replaced with new wires, two poles in Chantemar are in question and may or may not be touched or remain as is. SDG&E wants to build this last segment of this line and does not want the line to stop at Sycamore Canyon. If Sunrise Powerlink is denied, then at some time in the future we’ll come back and propose an upgrade to the power in this area. One option is an underground option, which would take more than a year to complete this project at 1000 ft per day and $10 million per mile to take power underground. On 11July08 the EIR will be released, then a 45-day comment period, 3rd week in October thru last review and discussions. Decision expected by end of 2008. The same voltage and poles will remain the same, only the wires will change to hold more capacity to increase by 50%.
Note: Volunteers needed to remove brush in Ramona on Tuesday, please call Bonnie Fry 760-788-1013
