The comments addressed herein pertain to the current site plan and pedestrian level of service. Comment 90 indicates that the TIS needs to be updated to reflect the current site layout. The new site layout shows 36 single family attached and 18 single family detached dwelling units with a single access to Taft Hill Road. The site plan shown in the TIS had 38 single family attached and 19 single family detached dwelling units with the same single access to Taft Hill Road. There would be little purpose to update the TIS with the new dwelling unit count, since the morning and afternoon peak hour trip generation is reduced by 3 and 0 trip ends, respectively. The calculated level of service and conclusions with regard to intersection operation will not change. Comment 21 discusses pedestrian LOS with regard to including the City Park Nine golf course as a destination and the directness measurement. The TIS addressed pedestrian LOS on page 17 and in Appendix F. The comment regarding the proximity to City Park Nine is not valid. Both the club house and driveway from City Park Drive are more than 0.25 miles from the northeast edge of the site. The distances were scaled from an aerial photograph. Therefore, it is concluded that City Park Nine as a pedestrian destination is not appropriate. in my judgment, the City staff interpretation of the "directness" measurement is contrary to practical logic, especially as it relates to "in fill" development. As defined by staff, the minimum pedestrian distance to/from the residential neighborhood to the east and Moore Elementary School to the southeast would go through the yards of private property. It would not follow a practical route that would be available to a pedestrian. The actual distance to either of these destinations would be via sidewalks along Taft Hill Road and Mulberry Street or Taft Hill Road and Orchard Place. At the request of City staff, I have changed the directness measure to these two destinations to fit the staff interpretation. The Pedestrian Influence Area graphic and Pedestrian LOS Worksheet, reflecting this change, are provided in Appendix A. The "directness" factor for Moore Elementary School is at LOS E and for the neighborhood to the east is at LOS F. It is my understanding that the calculated level of service for directness will not cause City staff to recommend denial of the Raven View Development.
