I()-A z, access and egress this area. No businesses will lose their access due to the closure. The only businesses on Maple Street (Marcelli Electric) will still have access from Maple Street via Lathrop Street. Other businesses will be able to gain access via Beech, Elm, Lathrop, and Diller Streets. 4. The Developers contacted the immediate neighbors along Monroe Street and Maple Street. According to the Developer's representatives, the owners generally accepted the proposal without specific objections. City staff has also sent notices to the directly affected property owners asking for their input. No responses have come from property owners as of the date of this report. 5. Engineering & Construction conducted a traffic count for Maple Street and found both the AM and PM traffic count low enough to redirect traffic to the Jefferson Avenue and EI Camino Real; Beech Street and EI Camino Real; Chestnut Street and EI Camino Real, and Main Street and EI Camino Real intersections. The existing peak-hour peak-direction traffic volume on Maple Street amounts to approximately 20% of the hourly capacity of a single traffic lane. Therefore, the closure will not result in significant impact. 6. The scope of this construction project includes the complete reconstruction of Maple Street from the railroad tracks to EI Camino Real; the reconstruction of Franklin Street from Maple Street to Monroe Street, and the complete reconstruction of Monroe Street. The reconstruction of these streets will change the vertical and horizontal alignment to such an extent that these streets would have to be closed for a substantial period of time (regardless of the building construction. ) Staff carefully evaluated the available alternatives and is convinced the complete street closure is the safest. and least disruptive alternative. Therefore, staff recommends Council approval of the closure of these streets from November 15, 2000 to January 30,2002. The attached sketch shows the locations of the street closures, and the detour plan. Fiscal Impacts There are no fiscal impacts to the City. Funds for associated costs to the street closure are provided by the developer, Irvine Apartment Communities. .
