RE: Ziegler Road and Rock Creek Drive Construction
Dear John:
City Staff has had internal discussions with regards to median and pedestrian refuge design requirements for the
2004 High School site. It is my understanding that Nolte is proceeding with a design of Ziegler Road after meetings
with City Engineering and Traffic Engineering, and that pedestrian refuge and median design were left as
outstanding issues. Please allow this to serve as information which should be of benefit in the completion of the
design and construction of this area.
• Ziegler Road south of Rock Creek Drive, adjacent to the high school site, is required to be designed and
constructed as a full improvement. This includes a raised median for both pedestrian refuge and to
transition out the eventual median on the north side of Rock Creek Drive. The median section may need
to be landscaped if the width of the median exceeds 7' (measured from face -of -curb to face -of -curb).
• Ziegler Road north of Rock Creek Drive will not be required to have a raised median at this time. This
median area will instead be striped out as an interim measure, with construction of the raised median and
completion of the full Ziegler Road improvements to be done by future development of the parcel
currently owned by HP. Therefore, a design for this interim area, (horizontal and vertical) showing the
striped median area should be shown. While the complete design of the ultimate 4 Lane Arterial Street is
not needed, the grade and ground lines along Ziegler Road should be continued north 1000 feet from the
end of the full improvement south of Rock Creek Drive in order to assure that future street improvements
will meet City standards (as required in LCUASS 7.4.1B.7)
• Rock Creek Drive adjacent to this site will also not be required to have a raised median at this time. A
striped -out median area with no crosswalks will suffice as an interim measure. Please note that in this
case, the City will be requiring future development of the undeveloped parcel currently owned by PSD (at
the southeast corner of Zeigler Road and Rock Creek Drive) to bear responsibility for raised
median/pedestrian refuge improvements. Developers looking for future development at this site should be
made aware of this obligation for Rock Creek Drive median/pedestrian refuge improvements.
Please let me know of any questions or concerns, or if I may be of any further assistance.
Sincerely,
c Virata
Civil Engineer
