John Montgomery accessable by folks going to and from the new campus, ended.<BR/><BR/>It would be very difficult, in my opinion, to mandate that a public road be created through an R1 type of development, unless all the roads remain public and there is someway the folks from the high school and the developer get together and find a way to connect the public road to the parking lot for the school.<BR/><BR/>I will be posting an illustration of what the folks who came up with the DEIR show as their lots concept for an R1 neighborhood at Ponte Vista, with 429 lots. I will do that after April 1, because I want folks to know that it is a real illustration and not a joke for April Fool's day.<BR/>MWAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34141007.post-51633286508828946442007-04-01T14:15:00.000-07:002007-04-01T14:15:00.000-07:00"One of the mitigations mandated for approval of M..."One of the mitigations mandated for approval of Mary Star of the Sea High School was that it not be accessed by vehicles via Taper Avenue, once it is constructed and occupied."<BR/><BR/>If this is true then with R-1 zoning John Montgomery will stay like it is now. <BR/><BR/>This should not be used as an excuse to change the zoning from R-1.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18098057340304911742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34141007.post-4778384411112961132007-03-29T20:27:00.000-07:002007-03-29T20:27:00.000-07:00Howdy Mellonhead,One of the mitigations mandated f...Howdy Mellonhead,<BR/><BR/>One of the mitigations mandated for approval of Mary Star of the Sea High School was that it not be accessed by vehicles via Taper Avenue, once it is constructed and occupied.<BR/><BR/>Originally, S. John Montgomery was going to be the public access to <BR/>Western Avenue and the school. When the Navy sold off the land, the rights to use S. John Montgomery went away.<BR/><BR/>Bob Bisno is probably not required to build a public road IF R1 remains at Ponte Vista. He would be required to build such a road if any zone changes were approved for Ponte Vista allowing for more density than is already allowed for.<BR/><BR/>I have drawn an access road between Gaffey and the 110 freeway between the refinery and the warehouse. There is a very narrow road that the refinery owns that is already there. I don't know what it would take to build an access by extending Capitol, but that may be a better spot than mine because of where Target is going to go.<BR/><BR/>Your point about Western Avenue is very good but I fear more folks would rather have more lanes built for vehicles than bike lanes built.<BR/>MWM Richardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08644940232494534872noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34141007.post-2859844599418582412007-03-29T17:14:00.000-07:002007-03-29T17:14:00.000-07:00The residents of the entire Taper/John Montgomery ...The residents of the entire Taper/John Montgomery Navy housing used the Taper St. entrance for over 30 years. So why can't Mary Star High use it?<BR/><BR/>I will say it again. John Montgomery Housing is 245 units. R-1 doubles that. 245 to 429. R-1 is the compromise.<BR/><BR/>I live along Western Ave. I want two lanes in each direction with bike paths on each side. I want the median rebuilt and maintained.<BR/><BR/>If anything is built at the Ponte Vista property I want a a new freeway on and off ramp built on Gaffey. at Capitol or north of Westmont.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18098057340304911742noreply@blogger.com
