surveyor and acceptance by
the other abutting owners. If
this name is unacceptable,
the alternative name must
be approved by the Planning
Commission at the time the
fi nal plan is reviewed.
The site is zoned resi-
dential high density, which
allows the development,
according to the transporta-
tion impact study prepared
by property owners. Own-
ers received an approval let-
ter from the Department of
State Lands for the wetland
delineation, according to the
developer.
The complex would use
the existing, shared drive-
way serving the nearby com-
mercial spaces, according
to the study. The study also
says the site access and side-
walk confi guration provides
effi cient access and circula-
tion for anticipated pedestri-
ans, bicycles and vehicles.
In July, commission-
ers sought details about the
impact to traffi c and pedes-
trians at the Highway 101
intersection.
Signage, lighting and
striping could enhance
pedestrian safety, said engi-
neer Adam Dailey, includ-
ing a 9-foot-wide crosswalk
at the intersection or slow or
right-turn arrows.
“It gives the driver kind
of a visual cue,” Dailey said.
“They subconsciously even
tense up and slow down.”
Lights that are 50 feet
off the crosswalk could be
moved closer, he said. Main-
tenance of the vegetation
around the area could also
improve safety.
Owners must also pro-
vide short- and long-term
bike parking. They will have
to determine the planned
drainage, sewer and water
systems for review by
the Seaside Public Works
director.
Commissioners
Jon
Wickersham, Kathy Klec-
zek, Christopher Rose and
Robin Montero voted for
the conditional approval.
Seth Morrisey and Lou Neu-
becker abstained; Teri Car-
penter was absent.
