This will allow for traffic problems to be resolved at <br />the commol\ entrance while providing a much greater/ desree of coordination <br />between site elements. ThIs configuration, while still disruptive of views to <br />Crossroads, has a much lesser Impact on shopper. approaching the center from <br />County Road 82. <br /> <br />r'd.......' )foyttD"mt. <br /> <br />While there is not a great deal of pedestrian traffic in the vicinity of County Road B2 <br />and the Crossroads entrance, there I. pede8bian hazard potential which should be <br />resolved as part of this approval process. We Nmply express thIe 18 a concern but do <br />not believe it should be a major Issue. <br /> <br />Pinclb\p and COI\~lUAioNl <br /> <br />.. <br /> <br />It appears to us, that there Is too much to be gained by coordinating plans between <br />Computer City and Crossroads to allow the Computer City facility to be built as <br />proposed. Once the Computer City fadUty Is constructed traffic problems will be <br />virtually unresolvable without major disruption to existing and proposed parking <br />lots and circulation. Furthermore, the two developments will continue to function <br />as independent entities when they have a great deal to gain by their integration, the <br />sharing of accesses and parking, <br /> <br />It is our opinion that it would be ill advised to approve the proposed Computer City <br />site plana because they are inconsistent with sound land planning principals. The <br />objecUve should D2l be to discourage or stop Computer City from utilizing the site <br />but Instead to develop a site plan that represents everyone's best interests. The <br />~urrent site plan does not meet or satisfy the beat interests of the City or the two <br />property owners. As presently proposed, this is a lose/lose proposition. <br /> <br />It would be our recommendation that a traffic study be completed for both sites, A <br />safe and functional circulation system wUl, in our opinion, demand the <br />reconfiguration of the subject Computer City buDding and 8ite, causng it to be an <br />integral part of the Crossroads complex. <br /> <br />HOISINGTON KOBGLBR GROUP INC. <br /> <br />., <br /> <br />f' <br /> <br />t" <br /> <br />." <br /> <br />>. <br /> <br />~. <br /> <br />~':., <br /> <br /> <br />Fred L Hoisington, ~CP <br />President <br />
