Regular City Council Meeting Monday,May 21, 2012 Page 17 north/south roads already over-burdened, with that current situation not a good gauge of normal traffic operations. Ms. Bloom advised that she was not at- tempting to diminish the fact that those roads already had high volumes of traf- fic. At the request of Mayor Roe, Ms. Bloom concurred that Cleveland Avenue was a likely and common-sense alternative to access County Road D, as well as County Road C At the request of Councilmember McGehee, Ms. Bloom responded that the pro- posed intersection on County Road C would cross Mount Ridge Road at the ap- proximate parking lot location, and was considered a "3/4 intersection," provid- ing a right-in and right-out, as well as a left-in,but no left-out. Councilmember McGehee calculated the acreage and projected vehicle trips, with approximately 1/3 of the traffic allotted to the entire area addressed for this single development, and questioned how to evaluate cumulative impacts. Ms. Bloom advised that the projections and the AUAR addressed the entire re- development area consistently. Impervious Coverage(continuedi Councilmember Pust referenced the previous B-6 zoning district requiring an EIS as part of that zoning; however, by definition, it was not part of the CMU zoning district at this time. Councilmember Pust questioned if the PUD portion of the B-6 zoning discussed the impervious coverage ratio. Mr. Lloyd, noting that it was pure conjecture on his part, suggested that the tim- ing of the AUAR update versus when the B-6 zoning district was last updated before it was replaced, may have included some environmental review process. However, since the AUAR update required that environmental review, Mr. Lloyd noted that the AUAR review basically included a combined EAW and EIS at the same form and range, and provided for the depth of analysis of an EIS. Mr. Lloyd advised that it was prepared in advance versus as each devel- opment proposal was presented, and required a formalized level of analysis for each development. Other than requirements that could have pre-dated the AUAR itself, Mr. Lloyd advised that he was unaware of any EIS review re- quired for the entire area. Preliminary/Final Plat Consideration Mayor Roe asked if it was typical or not typical to consider a Preliminary and Final Plat in the same discussion. Mr. Lloyd advised that it was dependent on the project. In referencing the for- mer Pulte Homes development on County Road C-2 and Lexington Avenue,
