A: The developer will be removing the pipe and will pick up the existing drainage.
Q: The detention pond behind Lupine has slow drainage. It fills up and almost overflows.
A: It fills up because of pipe (running east -west). This development's detention pond will
probably be on the east side of their site. They have to do some drainage studies and work
from there.

requirements. The property to the south must be provided stormwater conveyence across
this property.
Q: What about noise and pollution, if the facility is sold, will the next owner have a
manager on site?
A: Because of the nature of our grants, tax credits and financing, we will own the
property for 20 years. While we are the owners, there will be a full time maintenance
staff, a full time manager, an assistant manager, and a leasing agent. There is no
guarantee that if the property is sold that the new managers will opt to have a manager on
site.
Comment (by neighbor): We feel that there will not only be the traffic for 150 units
coming in on Lupine, but all their visitors too. We feel it isn't feasible to use Lupine for
the only access into the site. The site should have access from Conifer. We don't have a
problem with the proposed project other than the use of Lupine.
Q: What would the impacts be of coming off Conifer or the cul-de-sacs?
A: This property does not abut Conifer. Any connection to Conifer would need to cross
existing developed private property. Easements and right-of-ways would have to be
aquired, and that is only possible if there is a willing seller.
Comment (by neighbor): I suggest that the access should come off of Conifer in the
location where the emergency access road is shown. This might be a good opertunity to
re-route Conifer further north because of the safety problems of that curve. Lupine
overflow traffic will have to go down Mullin, which is even smaller of a street and would
be more dangerous.
Q: Will the project connect to Bellflower someday?
A: The right-of-way for Bellflower was dedicated as part of a development that has since
expired. The right-of-way for Bellflower still exists, but may be impacted by the future
alignment of Vine Drive. The development is planning on stubbing a future connection
to their property line at the Bellflower location to meet the requirement that every 660
feet along their property line they must provide a future street stub where their project
abuts developable property.
Q: Does the city take in to consideration the amount of traffic with regards to the size of
the street?
A: Yes, contact Eric Bracke, the city's Traffic Engineer for a more detailed answer.
Q: Currently water goes behind our homes on Lupine and sits there, are you addressing
this problem?
A: The drainage requirements are to redirect away from Dry Creek, across site to the
northeast and over towards Lemay. This should help your current situation.
Q: A stormwater pipe was put in by the city which stopped our drainage, now our crawl
spaces flood.

NEIGHBORHOOD MEETING
for Redwood Housing L.P.
conducted October 25, 1999 by Troy Jones
Q: This proposal seems to be putting a lot of traffic down Lupine, is it designed as a
residential street?
A: Lupine is a considered a "Residential Local" street. The applicant is being required to
provide a traffic study as part of the submittal requirements when applying for a
development application. The city traffic engineer assigned to the project will determine
if the proposed traffic can be handled by Lupine based on the information in the traffic
study. As a rule of thumb, "Residential Local" street are designed to carry up to 1000
vehicles per day on a 30 feet wide roadway with a 51 feet wide right-of-way.
Q: Is Lupine Street the only street connection into this neighborhood?
A: It is until other adjacent properties develop. This project will be required to provide at
least two street stubs to the property boundary that will be continued as streets in
neighboring developments.
Comment (by neighbor): Lupine seems to narrow now with the current traffic. We seem
to remember that Redwood and Lupine were built smaller as an experiment.
Response (by city staff): Redwood and Lupine were built to the city's standards at the
time of design.
Q: Why can't the traffic come south of the existing neighborhood?
A: The city cannot require the developer to build that connection because the proposed
emergency access in combination with the extension of Lupine will satisfy the connection
requirements.
Q: Is there a way to create another access point other than Lupine?
A: The city cannot require another one. The developer may decide to provide another
connection to the north of the property as justification to reduce the number of street
ditch crossings that will be required.
Q: What will be done about the drainage problem?
A: The site will be required to provide its own on -site detention. The outflow will be
draining to the northeast of the property. The existing ponding problem will be eraticated
by fixing the stormwater flowing problems. The city's Stormwater Department will
review the drainage plans to ensure compliance with the applicable stormwater
