13. CITY SERVICE IMPACTS: Request #1
Community Development: Encourages private road to be greater than 24-ft in width & contain a cross-section that is multi-modal
Facilities: Does not anticipate negative impacts for temporary service to private golf course; CLC not responsible for any parkway maintenance as it is a private road
Public Safety: Meets access requirements for 2006 IFC; Additional improvements would be beneficial as road serves as single access point to private facility; Concerns with CLC ability to enforce traffic regulations on a private road
Public Works: Applicant should widen road to ensure roadway is a safe route for public to private facility
Utilities: No CLC utilities in roadway; any future development will require pavement cuts for future utility installation; Sewer line and a lift station must be constructed prior to opening of maintenance building & pro shop

14. CITY SERVICE IMPACTS: Request #2
Community Development: Any immediate construction of road improvements to SR Blvd and/or Arroyo Rd contain components that support multi-modal transportation and not a cross-section that benefits vehicles only
Facilities: Has concerns about short-term & long-term maintenance of ROW for proposed phased approach on SR Blvd & Arroyo Rd
Public Safety: Deviation to cross-section does not negatively impact emergency services and complies w/ 2006 IFC
Public Works: Concerned w/ “piecemeal fashion” approach; CLC will not accept operation/maintenance until built to CLC Design Standards; Developer will have to maintain (will need letter from developer agreeing to maintenance responsibility)
Utilities: Utility locations are subject construction plan review & approval
