onto Troutman is essential to good planning for both the proposed project and our
subdivision.
It could very well be that this proposal is not the appropriate project for this area. It
certainly looks to us like it is too many vehicles for the already existing conditions. We ask
for the City's critical analysis and review of that before approving of the Promontory
Project; and, if it is approved, we ask that the plan address existing and future impacts on
traffic on Boardwalk.
Thank you for your attention to our concerns.
Sincerely,
Steven B. Ray

Re: Promontory Project Development Plan, #32-99
Dear Planning Board:
I am writing to you on behalf of all the residents of High Pointe residential area,
which lies directly north of the proposed Promontory Project. We are in receipt of Steve
Olts' May 18 letter soliciting our input in the proposed development.
Our subdivision is made up of seventeen lots, all of which will be built out before
the end of this year, except one. We have only one entry/exit and that is onto Boardwalk.
The High Pointe residents are interested in and quite concerned about the impact
the proposed Promontory Project will have on traffic in our area. Boardwalk is already a
very busy street during peak traffic times. Mornings, evenings, and Saturdays Boardwalk
is downright crowded. During special seasons like holidays (Christmas) and tax time
traffic to and from the post office makes it extremely difficult, if not impossible, to enter or
exit our residential area. It was the danger posed to our children by already -then high
volume of traffic on Boardwalk that caused our association install a privacy gate a few
years ago.
This morning I waited for eighteen westbound cars to pass before finding a gap in
the traffic that would allow me to zip onto Boardwalk coming to work. This unfortunately
is not an uncommon experience for our residents.
We realize that we live in a busy part of a growing community and we have
adapted to the traffic patterns to date. We feel that the addition of the volume of traffic
that will follow the proposed Promontory Project demands close scrutiny by the City to
ensure that the injection of the new traffic does not turn Boardwalk into a bottleneck
traffic nightmare which is exactly where we, the people most familiar with this situation,
firmly believe it is headed.
We desire to be heard and informed about the coordination of traffic issues with
the planning of this project. What traffic control devices are planned? Where will the
entrances and exits be for the proposed project? We feel in particular that an entry/exit
