In reviewing the City Land Use Code, Section 3.6.3 — Street Pattern and Connective
tv
Standards C) Spacing for Full Movement Collector and Local Street Intersections with
Arterial Streets & (D) Spacing of Limited Movement Collector or Local Street
Intersections with Arterial Streets, we believe that we are incompliance with the City
Land Use Code. The Standards are to have a full movement intersection every, 14 mile �j
and to have other intersections spacing not to exceed 660'. We meet both of these 5P'-,eV
standards.
We would appreciate your assistance in resolving this issue as soon as possible. {f c�

This letter is in response to a concern that Matt Delich has about the spacing of road
intersections along Drake Road. Our office has been working with city staff to achieve
the intent of City Plan. We need clarification on the intent of the City Land Use Code in
regard to intersection spacing along an Arterial Road.
This morning I received a call from Matt Delich, Traffic Engineer -for Ridgen Farm. He
informed our office that we may have too many intersections along Drake Road. In
conversation with. Matt, I mentioned that we have been working with'the City Staff to,
limit or avoid alisutprises in the process. I informed him that we have submitted our
proposed plans for City Staff review and comments, and we have met with the City Staff
on.September 30, 1998 and October 8, 1998 to resolve any transportation issues. Our
understanding is that the City wanted more street connections and smaller blocks. We
were never informed from Transportation that our proposed road intersection spacing
along Drake Road were not in compliance with the City Land Use Code or
Transportation's requirements. It is our understanding that the intent of City Plan was to
create a variety of smaller blocks and not uniform large blocks.
Matt said that he had spoken with Eric Bracke to clarify the Cities Standards for spacing
of road intersections along an Arterial Road. Eric's response was that the current
Standards in the.City Land Use Code is that the spacing must be a minimum of 660'".
Eric mentioned that he has not be given an official submittal for review and comment,
and has not therefore seen our proposed plans. With this comment, Matt informed us that
our plan may not be in compliance with City Plari Standards and that Transportation will
require fewer street connections. This comment may have an impact on our project
because we and other consultants are currently working on finalizing our ODP and PDP
submittal drawings.
