Since Habitak homes <br />typically have no garages and in many instances multiple families reside in single units, this sup-pests that ifnot restricted, <br />resident's vehicles will be parked around the cul-de-sac. In addition-, rrtailboxes that hang out over the curb and kids' roll- <br />out basfeetbaii-hoops-are other reasons why we like the larger 46' radius. <br />Given that the type of recycling trucks we wilt be going to next year when we plan to go to single-stream recycling are <br />about 5' shorter in ler~th than our current trucks, I am willing to allow the 37' radius to s#and providing that par#cing around <br />the cui-de-sac is restricted_ The site plan would need to reflect the placement of `No Parking' signs: <br />i -believe that this is a reasonable alternative and 1 am proposing-it in-the spirit of comprom"sse and in an effort to move the <br />application along. <br />I trust you will pass it~is an to Mr. Abbott such that the site plan will be revised accordingly to show-the no-parking signs. <br />Thanks and let me know if you have any questions ar wish to discuss this mafter further. <br />Jeff Scoufen <br />Environmental Enforcement Supe-visor <br />Orange County Solid Waste Management <br />P.O.
