He further explained that what has historica ly happened and what is provided in the P -C t xt is that the property owner can build the buil ings that compl with the requirements of the P -C ext and then subdivide the property at a later date to make a, footprint lot for a building that has either been completed or is under construction, so that the property on which a building exists will become Parcel 1, and all the rest of the property on which there is:no building is Par el 2, and that in the future when another buildi g is built; Par cel 2 will be divided again to pr vide another footprint lot, and the other foot rint lots which already exist there are not a par of the sub- division in question.

He pointed out that cross MacArthur Boulevard there is an existing idewalk that runs the entire length of the area hat is suggested by the City to have sidewalks nstalled, with the exception of one parcel owned y the owner of the Lakeside Restaurant. He ex- lained that removal of the trees and berms ne- essary to installing the sidewalk would cost pproximately $120,000. He suggested the alter- ative that they modify an existing link in the edestrian sidewalk adjacent to the Coldwell anker building, which bicycle trail and sidewalk s too high, and that it was their opinion that s an alternate to doing what has been suggested n this Staff Report, that they would be willing o lower that particular bicycle trail down to treet level so that persons who wish to cross he street to use the sidewalk, would have direct ccess to that intersection. n response to a question posed by Commissioner llen, Ernest Wilson, Architect, Yeplied that riginally when the program was conceived for andscaping, it was a joint determination with he Staff that they should have a 30' landscaped erm around the perimeter of the Entire site to ake the park as visually.aesthetic as possible. e further explained that the entire berm, the andscaping, controllers and trees would have to e removed and recontoured to put the sidewallk in on Webb, Assistant City Engineer, stated that it ould not be necessary to construct the medians n Von Karman Avenue until drive Entrances and ocations are more clearly determined, so that COMMISSIONERS �x m MINUTES September 6, 1979 Page 14 of Newport Beach ROLL CALL I I I I I I i I I I I INDEX 0 ey would not be continually cutting through the dians to provide additional entr nces or exits, on which area a comprehensive traffic study uld be conducted. n response to a question posed by Commissioner eek, Mr. Webb replied that there is now existing two -way left turn lane and that the medians; ould be required if the Public Works Department` elt there was going to be conflicts in traffic ovement, for the sake of safety, the most criti- al ones of which are the two driveways closest o MacArthur Boulevard. r.
