14595 CLEARVIEW DRIVE (LA RINCONADA COUNTRY CLUB) Mark Medalie spoke of the use of the Country Club access road on Wedgewood. He believes the service road is too narrow for the trucks
that will be using it, although staff explained that the delivery trucks that are allowed to use it are the appropriate size and weight for the road. He does not want the trucks exiting
on Wedgewood because of the visibility issues and speed ofthe traffic on that road. He also spoke of joggers, pedestrians and bikers trying to use Wedgewood. Staff suggested that the
25 vehicles exiting the club each day were not the cause of excess speed and increased traffic on Wedgewood, and they suggested that the neighborhood work with traffic engineering on
traffic calming measures for the whole of the Wedgewood neighborhood. Jan Maddox spoke of speed on Wedgewood and the many thousands of cars that use the road daily. She noted the high
speeds and lack of obeying the posted signs. She asked for more police presence to help slow down the traffic. Bob Korns asked for assurances that the gateway on Wedgewood would be controled
for a limited number of daily uses. Barbara Kettman spoke oftraffic and construction and the hours that the trucks would be allowed to use the gate. She suggested hours that were associated
with less traffic on Wedgewood. Barbara Lea believes that the access road off Wedgewood is too narrow for truck traffic and asked if the two other access roads could be used. Cheryl
Hirsa spoke ofthe traffic on Wedgewood and the traffic study done July 2004. She noted 3,282 cars per day on this street and only 31 deliveries up the club access road. Carla Dougher
asked that the Wedgewood neighborhood be considered for traffic calming measures, sidewalks and wheelchair accessability. John Aitkens would like to see the traffic issues and impacts
shared by the people who live around the Country Club. He would like street lights, street trees to catch the impact of stray balls and sidewalks to meander through the creatively placed
trees. Darcy Matthewson spoke of the noise from the trucks and asked that they be limited to certain hours of the day and no more than 5 a day. Linda Reynolds spoke on the problems with
the traffic on Wedgewood and the protection of the trees which also block the view. 6 I ?j H J

on to La Rinconada Drive and the difficulty for trucks to enter that way. Clearview also has a very tight tum for entrance. He believes the safest access is through Wedgewood. Chris
DeLaOssa spoke of having full access to trails, parks, shopping and of beautifying the Wedgewood neighborhood. Ken Rodrigues summarized the plans for the Wedgewood access road. The sidewalks,
trees and street lights will make the Wedgewood neighborhood safer. He spoke of traffic signage, and of staging the construction trucks to wait in the driveway rather than out on Wedgewood.
