Mr. Wikstrom,
I am working on an apartment development at 22422 Rockaway Lane in Hayward.
The Hayward Municipal Code (HMC) Section 10-4.56 has established a certain plan line (Drawing Number H-116) for Rockaway Lane north of A Street. This plan line prescribes a 68-ft. right-of-way (ROW) width for Rockaway Lane.
I believe this right-of-way is not warranted for traffic circulation or other needs of the area. Rockaway Lane north of A Street serves only a few residences and traffic volumes are anticipated to remain low. I am requesting a reduction to a 56 foot wide ROW which would satisfy the Fire Departments requirements and be sufficient for the low volume of traffic in the area. I believe the City of Hayward Development Staff would support this amendment.
Thank You,
William Frankel
