28. Comment: There are concerns now about the traffic situation on
Harmony through the Overlook area, no turn lanes, no
good crosswalks for kids and other people.
29. Comment: The developer would probably want to get the
maximum number of units on this property that he
can.
0- J
T
Answer: They will be stepped down. The units will definitely
affect your view.
17. Question: Are these all two-story buildings?
Answer: Yes.
18. Question: Is there any way to diminish the street lighting levels
in this development, like in Phase I?
19. Question: Could the City purchase this property for open space
to remain undeveloped?
Answer: That has been approached and the answer today is no.
20. Comment: The world today from a traffic standpoint is different
today than it was then.
21. Question: Why is an ecological characterization study not
required for this project?
Answer: Contact Kim Kreimeyer.
22. Question: Will the traffic study be submitted prior to P&Z
hearing?
Answer: Yes, with the submittal.
23. Comment: Phase II blocks views of homes to north and Phase I
did not (so much).
24. Question: Is there no way to lay out the project to minimize the
visual impacts to surrounding area?
Answer: We tried it but it does not work.
25. Question: Will there be trees or shrubs as shown in the plan?
Answer: A combination of both.
26. Comment: The City needs to look now at the amount of traffic in
the area and the accumulative effects with existing
and proposed development.
27. Comment: The intersection of Seneca and Harmony is already
very dangerous, with some serious visual obstruction.
s
6. Comment: There are significant traffic concerns and problems
regarding Seneca, Harmony, and streets in the area.
7. Question: What is the earliest date that a building could be put
on this land?
Answer: Maybe 1 1/2 years or more.
8. Comment: There needs to be controls about people taking dogs
directly into the natural area.
9. Question: What is the distance between homes and ridgeline and
prairie?
Answer: Approximately 500 feet.
10. Comment: Why does the City want such high density next to the
natural area. The animals will create a real problem in
the natural area.
11. Comment: If this is low density, what is defined as low density?
12. Question: Does this current development proposal have to
conform to the approved ODP and maintain the
density?
Answer: Essentially, yes.
13. Question: What are plans and timing for improvements to
Harmony Road east of Seneca Street.
Answer: That will be determined with traffic and future
development.
14. Comment: Why can Harmony Road not be reopened to Taft Hill
Road.
15. Question: How many parking spaces will be provided for the
units?
Answer: 2 car garage per unit.
16. Question: How will the units be designed to work with the
topography?

NEIGHBORHOOD INFORMATION MEETING --
PROJECT: Harmony Ridge, Phase II
DATE: January 12, 2000
APPLICANTS: Jim Sell Design
CITY PLANNER: Steve Olt
The applicant and developer are proposing a townhome (multi -family)
development to be known as Harmony Ridge, Phase II on a property on
the south side of `old" Harmony Road between Seneca Street and south
Taft Hill Road. The proposal is for 122 or 123 townhomes on
approximately 15 acres located west of the Harmony Ridge PUD, Phase I
development, south of the Overlook single family neighborhood, and
north of the Cathy Fromme Prairie Natural Area. The property is in the
LMN — Low Density Mixed -Use Neighborhood District.
.......... QUESTIONS, CONCERNS, COMMENTS, RESPONSES ..........
1. Question: What is the buffer area between the units and the
Prairie going to be like?
Answer: Native, dryland plants similar to what was approved
with Phase I. Architecture will minimize the impact.
Fencing minimal, if at all.
2. Question: Is access out onto Harmony?
Answer: Yes, through Harmony Ridge Phase I to Seneca Street.
3. Comment: The decision to put the access on the curve is a bad
idea.
4. Question: Will the City and development traffic engineers talk to
one another about the access location and design?
5. Comment: The children in this development will not have a way to
cross Harmony Road.
