Exhibit II. 10 Amend exhibit to show First Street as a secondary highway from Seal Beach Boulevard to Pacific Coast Highway. II.6 A major priority is the implementation of a public roadway from Seal Beach Boulevard to Pacific Coast Highway as a part of the initial development phrase of this project. First Street is shown as the pUblic roadway connection to accomplish this objective, but another alternative may be considered. The pUblic roadway connection could be made at Regency and Seal Beach Boulevard, connecting to First Street. If this option is implemented, First Street could be a private roadway through the single family homes. Prior to consideration of this alternative, a study must be prepared, detailing how the connection will be made, what improvements, alterations and redesigns will be needed, and preparation of an implementation plan. II.7 II.3 Funding of Capital Improvements In order for the project to be fiscally self sufficient, the following options can be considered for implementation. A landscape and lighting district and landscape agreement can be implemented in order to defray the costs associated with street maintenance and street light costs. Along with this maintenance district, an agreement will be entered into at the subdivision level between the City and property owner to implement a surcharge on the green fee to help defray costs associated with the development. It is anticipated that the surcharge will be a minor addition on the green fee, and serves only to defray costs, and not as a surplus revenue source. 28. Prior to bUilding permit issuance, the developer shall contact property owners along the edge of the golf course area, and meet with those interested regarding conflicts with golf course operation and anticipated measures to mitigate these safety concerns. The developer shall provide the City with a list of owners contacted, and those consulted, and what measures will be taken. 111.4 e . Page 2 11.3 29.

The height of the fixtures shall not exceed twenty feet. c) Screening shall be provided in order to further mitigate light and glare. The location, size, and type of screening shall be approved by the Development Services Department. d) Use of the lights shall not extend beyond 8:00 p.m. week days, and 9:00 p.m. weekends. The lights shall be turned off at these times indicated. e) The use of lights on the driving range shall only be allowed only after the item is considered in a public hearing before the Planning Commission, with residents notified within a 300 foot radius.
