From Email Inbox: Plan B and Grading Drawing

Email Comments will be posted or added here are the documents that have been provided:

From the Email InBox:

Why another "Drug Store"? Didn't Jack Brown say the Stater's would have a full service Pharmacy? Isn't CVS struggling as it is? Isn't there already enough Liquor Available at the Gas Station? Oh and why a Chili's Bar and Grill? How about an IHOP, that would compliment the California Skate, the Elementary School, and a Family Friendly Client Base?

Do we want more places to buy liquor in town? Do we want more liquor consumption near a school? Will Chili's Pay for additional Law Enforcement to keep track of it's drunk clients?

The Loading Dock for the "Drug Store" seems to go right into the sidewalk, is this a Safety Problem for kids walking to school?

From the Email InBox:

How does this Plan B fit with the General Plan or the Barton Road Specific Plan. Foot Print drawings are not sufficient detail for full evaluation, however, it does show a revised plan of sorts?

From the Email Inbox:

Sure hope the AutoZone has a home in one of the buildings. Any Current Business should also have a space available at a reasonable price or as partial owner of the building if they were "Negotiated with Eminent Domain hanging over their heads".

From the Email Inbox:

It may be there, I just can't see it... Bus turn outs for Public Transportation... and bike racks?

From the Email Inbox:

Are any of these buildings or businesses "Green", Solar Pannels, or anything like that? How are these buildings and businesses an improvement to the environment and recycling, and waste management?

From the Email Inbox:

Where is the replacement All Age: Low and Moderate Income Housing to make up for the Trailer Park that has been Removed?

From the Email Inbox:

Looks Like a Traffic Mess: If there is to be a Light at Michigan and Barton, and one at Vivienda and Barton, and another just past Miguels and another at Barton and Canal and then one at Mt. Vernon Ave. WHY not just reduce the speed limit to 14 mph like at the Disneyland Parking Lot. This Traffic Flow is Goofy... I sure hope there is no driveway directly accross from Vivienda, unless it is a One Way Only, or Entrance to the Center Only.

Perhaps the driveway at the east end could be an Exit Only... and the one on Michigan an In and Out... Try driving around a school in the morning or after school...

IHOP is much better than Chili's...

From the Email InBox:

I count 25 buildings (Units) on Plan B.
The agreement that ran out last year said Jacobsen was supposed to have purchased all the land and have the tenets lined up.

Chili's will probably have a computer room the kids can use seeing they will be sharing the same space. (Remember the Kids and the Computers in their Promotional Material).

There has been no traffic study submitted to the adhock committee and look at what kind of problems it will cause at the cornor of Mich and Barton.
