Stephen Olt From: Heckel, Nate <nate.heckel@cushwake.com> Sent: Wednesday, March 16, 2016 4:44 PM To: Ryan Mounce Cc: Mike Jensen; Kevin Brock Subject: 810 N. College 1. My concerns here are simple. I feel the site planning and design standards to ensure that the parking and circulation of the proposed development are well designed with regard to safety, efficiency and convenience are not being met. 2. The applicant's site plan allows for parking on the north side of the property, contrary to historical use. Historical use of the driveway has been a means for accessing each properties separate parking lot whereas the proposed uses the driveway as a parking isle. I am surprised the traffic engineer didn't feel there was any impact and I am also surprised this didn't involve any type of minor amendment to their site plan. 3. The applicant has requested various easements for the 15' strip of land owned by the liquor store adjacent to their property. This 15' strip of land dead - ends at the same east line of the applicant's property. Reasonable site circulation would include some means of turning around a) should their not be a parking space immediately available and b) should someone choose to attempt to exit the property by the same means of turning around rather than backing into ingress as well as egress traffic. 4. The applicant has not requested easements for the remaining 18' of strip of land owned by the bowling alley. 5. The parking has intensified the use this driveway of which the bowling alley and the liquor store are financially responsible for maintaining. I am somewhat surprised that the traffic engineer has not been more critical of how the parking is c In summary, although the applicant has requested easements from the liquor store property those were requested approximately one week ago leaving little time for a real solution. In discussing their request, I stressed this last minute solution was not the right solution. I shared my belief that there needs to be an agreement between the liquor store, bowling alley and the applicant. That agreement can create the terms by which these properties work together in a manner that is well designed, well circulated, is efficient and as well as safe. I encourage you to ask the applicant to work together with the neighboring properties and allow us the time necessary to do such. Thank you for your time, 1
