Vy- ,\ .> TO:John R. Gerhardson, Public Works Coordinator PROM:Michael P. Gaffron, Assistant Zoning Administrator DATE: SOBJ: April 4, 1986 #1015, Subdivision on North Ferndale Road John, I need your comments on the access for the new lot to bt created by this subdivision, and also on the issue of the private roadway known as "Lydiard Lane”. The new lot is proposed to access directly onto N. Ferndale Road somewhere in the 75' corridor shown. Any problems with that location? "Lydiard Lane" is a can of worms as you probably know. The various portions of road and driveway serve 13 existing houses plus there are 3 vacant lots of 2 acres or more which could be readily built on. The ownership of the road is also a jumble: As you go in from N. Ferndale Road, the right half (15') of the private way is owned by Steve Dayton who lives at the far end. The left half (17') for the first 298 feet is owned by a Donald Love of Malibu, California, who incidentally does not own any other land in the subdivision. The first branch to the right is owned by Mrs. Wood but serves Kamm and Shanedling also. About 800 feet in, the main road splits, and the branch to the right serves Parker, Lyman, Dayton, Macleod, and 3 vacant lots. The branch to the left serves Strand, Lawson, and Danielson but is owned by Johnson as part of Outlot A of the recent Laurent Subdivision in 1981. Obviously, 16 existing/potential residences exceeds our normal limit for a private road. Are we to a point where the City should actively pursue acquisition of roadway and make it a public road? Is any part of the Kamm or Mithun property helpful to us as right-of-way given the steep slopes on the north side of the road? Is there a potential for this to become a "through" road to the south? Or loop back^Horth Ferndale through Searles' old place? We should discuss this prior to the Planning Commission meeting of 4/21/86. I 1 1 i
