Thank you for reaching out concerning the Mission Trail at Lemon Project.

mitigation,however the project will be dedicating right of way for future alignment of Victoria Lane.
The applicant has also been conditions to obtain all necessary off-site easements and/or permits for off-site grading and
the applicant(Condition 109)prior to the issuance of a grading permit.If you have additional questions concerning the
right-of-way improvements or the Engineering Department's Conditions of Approval please contact Yu Tagai,Assistant

I represent Elsinore Country Club Holdings,which owns the 8.5 acre parcels immediately to the north of this project
along Mission Trail,just on the other side of future Victoria Lane.
I have two concerns about how this project impacts Victoria Lane.
First, it appears that this developer has no obligation to build or assist in the construction of Victoria Lane, although their
property line extends in portions to the centerline of this future road, requiring a 33.9' dedication along Victoria Lane
from Mission Trail. It has been my understanding that when a project is constructed along a future road, it typically
builds a half-width of the road. But here, I see no conditions related to the construction of Victoria Lane at all. I see
from the TTM elevations that the project would not access Victoria Lane, but in my view that should not excuse its
obligation to ensure the construction of a future street which it abuts, especially for such a large project.
Second, it is not clear to me from the elevations on the TTM whether this development will require the encroachment
upon my property to grade its property line along Victoria Lane and build retaining walls. I suspect it will,yet I have
never heard from this developer and have certainly not committed to any encroachment.
Lastly, I also have concerns about the future traffic signal at Victoria Lane. Again, looking at the proposed conditions of
approval, I do not see any obligation to build or even contribute to the construction of this future signal, although this
very large project would be the obvious major contributor to traffic at that intersection. I might desire to develop my
8.5AC parcel at some point, but due to flood rules only about 4 acres would be developable. It certainly would not be
fair if I were conditioned to build that signal, where this much larger project contributes nothing. However, if Staff
believes I also would not be conditioned to build such a signal if I were to move forward,this would alleviate my
concerns.
In closing, I want to emphasize that I have no objections to the project as designed, and would welcome these future
homeowners as good neighbors. I only raise issues of infrastructure equity.
I hope to hear from you on my concerns. I am happy to talk to you at the number below.
