The study does not define the methodology used to redistribute traffic through the new connection of County Fair. In the absence of this methodology, we calculated several scenarios trying to recreate the numbers used in the study. In the least conservative (most favorable to the development) scenario the south bound right turn lane warrant was met. Comment Number: 2 Comment Originated: 11/18/2016 11/18/2016: Due to the proximity of the access locations to the intersection of Ziegler and County Fair, the center left turn lane needs to be extended to allow for left turns into the development. We are happy to work with you on lane widths, and striping.

Staff did not receive a modification request for Land Use Code section 4.5(D)(1)(b). Staff will look for this modification request for the second round of review. Comment Number: 2 Comment Originated: 11/03/2016 11/03/2016. Individually, staff would normally support all of the modifications requested. Staff is concerned, however, that when taken as a whole, the development is not performing as well as a compliant development. Would it be possible to dedicate four of the units as affordable to households earning 80% of Area Median Income? This would boost the allowed density to 12 dwelling units per acre and would help fulfill a City-wide goal identified in City Plan and the Affordable Housing Strategic Plan. Alternatively, you could remove the unit furthest south in Building E and no longer need a modification to 3.5.2(D)(1)(b) or 4.5(D)(1)(b). Losing that unit would also allow buildings F and E to move further south and thus coming into compliance with 3.5.2(E)(2).

Off -site mitigation is not necessary. Please review placing 35 upsized mitigation trees on site. Tree #58 is listed as to be protected, but should be removed based on its size and condition. Proper mitigation will need to be discussed. Please set up a site visit to discuss construction impact of trees #59 (Cottonwood) and #47 (Green Ash — multi -stemmed). These existing trees seem appear to be pretty close to proposed foundations. In regards to tree #43 (Hackberry), please explore placing the proposed sidewalk at a further distance away to reduce the impact to the roots.

It appears likely that the ADT on County Fair Lane are above 100 ADT, and would require a minimum parking setback distance of 40 feet off of County Fair Lane, in all cases the first garage/parking spot is 30 feet or less. Comment Number: 4 Comment Originated: 11/16/2016 11/16/2016: The previous project had widened out to 36 feet inroad width for County Fair Lane further west than this proposal, which allowed for the three lane cross section and protected left turn movements into both access points of the development. This proposal does not create this. A traffic study to look into the implications behind this is needed, as having the third lane across the driveways I suspect would certainly be preferred.

A variance request is needed for the minimum tangent lengths not being met. It is acknowledged that a similar variance request was needed from the previous proposal on the property and was granted.
