Traffic/Roadways 1.A traffic study is required to determine if area roadways can accommodate the traffic produced by the development. A draft study has been submitted and reviewed by area road authorities. These authorities have given feedback as to additional information that should be factored into the study and other various items which the study should examine. Once a revised study is available, we will be able to give more comments on this issue. 2.If there are structural changes to area roads needed to mitigate traffic impacts, the costs of those shall be borne by the developer. The city, however, may find that proposed structural changes have adverse effects on access to property that are unacceptable. This finding may render the development untenable. The city is ready to work with the developer and surrounding agencies to find solutions to traffic impacts which do not adversely affect land use. 3.The Draft Study’s conclusions that there are no significant impacts to area intersection performance is largely based on the timing of incoming and outgoing trips to the facility. The study and project narrative suggest that these trips do not occur during peak traffic hours. Therefore, the Conditional Use Permit (CUP) should include provisions which restrict the amount of outgoing and incoming vehicle trips during peak AM and PM traffic hours to ensure future changes to business practices and/or tenants continue with this same mode of operation. Lighting 1.All fixtures shall be downcast type and may require shielding on sides facing residential areas (west-facing). Newer LED fixtures produce a whiter light and even with downcast fixtures and lumen levels at the edges of the property within accepted norms, the city has received complaints from neighbors. The property owner will be required to abate these nuisances. General 1.We do not see any on-site fueling stations. If there are such facilities, we would want detailed information on them for review by the fire marshal, city engineer and building inspector. 2.A developer’s agreement will be required, outlining time of performance, and securities among other issues. Securities will be required to cover 150% of the cost of the public trails and utilities being installed as part of the project. Due to the size of this development, additional securities may be required to ensure the city has the available resources to stabilize the site and abate any nuisance conditions and mitigate any environmental impacts, should the developer abandon the project at any point in its construction. The developer will also be responsible to reimburse the city for costs related to inspection of the work contemplated in the developer’s agreement. 3.Comments from the City’s Public Works Department, Public Safety Officials, City Planner and other agencies will need to be addressed. 4.We reserve the right to provide further comments upon resubmittal of the revised documents.
