I. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The California Department of Transportation is requesting an approval of a General Plan Conformity Report to move the existing Smith driveway, due to safety issues after the construction of the planned highway project. The California Department of Transportation is proposing the concept as follows:
* The existing private driveway on APN 009-022-80 will be removed, the existing direct access from Hwy 29 will be disconnected.
* The proposed frontage road will be between APN 009-022-32 and 009-022-79.
* The new private driveway will be at the south side of parcel 009-022-80.
* The proposed frontage road and private driveway will be paved.
* The proposed frontage road (which will end at the turnaround) will be relinquished to the county, the driveway on the Smith property will remain privately owned and maintained.
Staff recommends the Planning Commission report that the improvements are in conformance with the Lake County General Plan.
