1 J City of Santa Ana Chapter 2. Project Description Driveway Access and Parking The proposed project would remove the four driveways along South Fairview Street and replace them with appropriate gutters, curbs, sidewalks, and streetscaping. A single driveway would provide access to the site via Alton Avenue through a gated entrance. The proposed project would include 76 covered parking spaces as garages and 54 parking spaces on the proposed driveways for a total of 130 off-street parking spaces. Additionally, 23 on-street, uncovered parking spaces will be designated along the private drive as part of the proposed project. Therefore, the proposed project will have a total of 153 parking spaces. Landscaping & Common Recreational Area Total landscaping will encompass approximately 20% of the site area. These areas include common open space areas located between proposed units and Lot 7, which is designated solely as an open space lot for recreational use for the residents of the project. Landscaping includes planted trees and shrubs, as well as potted ornamental plants. Off-Site Improvements to Alton Avenue & South Fairview Street The proposed project includes the widening and restripping of Alton Avenue to its ultimate planned width (Figure 2-5). This will involve widening the road shoulders and restripping, but it will not include additional traffic lanes on Alton Avenue. The Alton Avenue improvements also include the installation of the associated curbs, gutters, sidewalks, and landscaping. Additionally, South Fairview Street will be improved along the project frontage with a new median and a relocation of utilities to below ground. The four existing driveway cuts on South Fairview will be removed and replaced with new sidewalks, curbs, and gutters. Construction The entire project is has a construction schedule of approximately 18 months, extending from the fall 2007 to spring 2009. Demolition and removal of the existing structures on the proposed project site is expected to begin in November 2007 and continue approximately 1.5 months until December. This will include razing the existing structures and concrete parking lots and crushing the concrete on site to use as fill material. Grading the site to appropriate specifications is expected to begin after razing the existing structures and will continue approximately 1 month. Finally, the street improvements to Alton Avenue and South Fairview Street would occur concurrently with the construction of the ',' Alton Court Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration 2-3 August J&5 00635.07 ~ 75B-53
