Subject: Liberty Commons High School comments
Ted, my apologies for my late comments. The following are the comments I've entered into Accela. If you have
already sent staff comments to the applicant, please forward this email to them.
11/29/2011: No TIS received. Unable to provide comments until received.
11/29/2011: Tree Canopy Master Plan: Concern with the existing Burr Oak at the SW corner of Minnesota and
Limon Drives being a sight distance problem. It falls within the sight distance as measured per Fig. 7-16,
LCUASS, 25 mph local streets. Per LCUASS 8.2.14 nothing taller than 2' can be in the line of sight of a
pedestrian at a corner. Please remove/relocate the existing tree.
11/29/2011: Tree Canopy Master Plan: The above sight distance problem may also be realized at the SE corner
of the future driveway and Limon Drive. That will be ultimately determined at time of submittal of that phase.
11/29/2011: Tree Canopy Master Plan: Concern with the existing Green Ash in the parkway strip on Kansas
where the Phase 1 sidewalk connection between Kansas and the western most new Phase 1 building. Concern
with children crossing Kansas being hidden from approaching north bound motorists. The combination of in -set
on -street parked vehicles and the close proximity of the tree to the sidewalk and the street raises our concerns
with adequate visibility of peds. Please remove/relocate the tree.
11/29/2011: Site Plan, Overall and Ph 2: The sidewalk connection/extension to the Ph 2 driveway near Limon
Drive should be near the driveway curb cut to provide better visibility of peds crossing the driveway to entering
traffic from Limon. The current shown position of the sidewalk extension is also behind an existing tree further
reducing visibility between peds and motorists.
Thank you,
