FINAL TREATMENT OF' Council expressed a concern that"Casa Grande, being an
CASA GRANDE ROAD arterial street, should not have the feeling of a
tunnel with masonry walls along its sides, such as is
proposed in the Casa del Oro Unit II subdivision. It was noted a plan approved
several years ago called for a sixteen foot median, two ~thirty-four foot
travel ways, two six-foot sidewalks and two two-foot planter areas. Included
in the thirty-four foot trav-el lanes were areas for bicycle paths. Council
suggested that where fihere is a masonry wal.l, the visual effect should be
softened by the use of shrubs and vines alongside the wall: Council consensus
was to have the 100 foot right-of-way described above, plus take an additional
four feet from the Casa del Oro Unit II subdivision in order that there would
be a six-foot planting area along that aide of Casa Grande Road, then a six-
f oot sidewalk, then a thirty-four foot 'travel way to the 16 foot median.
Staff will prepare a diagram of Casa Grande Road for Council information.
CASA DEL ORO UNIT II Resolution No. 9062 N.C.S. approving Tentative Sub-
