5. Connectivity plan to JFK/Hogan at Harmony — The City and developer are currently
discussing improvements to accommodate non -vehicular traffic. Sidewalks are
being provided along the front of the site that will tie into walkways on either side
as adjacent development occurs. Discussions are underway with the City
regarding the potential for an earlier extension of the sidewalk to the Hogan/JFK
intersection with respect to legal and federal considerations.
6. Traffic plans/studies — The proposed project is, by its nature, of low impact and
intensity. In light of this, the City is requiring a traffic memorandum be prepared
to assess the specific traffic impacts of this development. A right turn lane is
planned to extend over 400 feet to the West to accommodate the supportive
housing site as well as adjacent lots with limited access to Harmony. Access to
adjacent. properties is provided by a drive that runs parallel to Harmony. This is
wholly contained in an existing City access easement across the north end of the
property. Within this existing City easement is a narrow bridle path easement that
runs along Harmony Road and located on what wilt be the new City required
service road. Though ASI does not plan to eliminate the easement from the plat,
the City may at some point require that the easement be vacated in lieu of the new
service road and/or the bridal path's functionality in lieu of the wider public side
walk area in close proximity.
