The Board of County Commissioners is concerned about the impact of this proposed development on existing
county infrastructure. The impact of traffic from this development will seriously impact county roads in this area
and funding is not available within the County budget to address this impact.
These roads are all narrow, within confined rights of way, have no shoulders, and there is no provision for bicycles
or pedestrians. We already receive complaints about speeding, accidents, congestion at Tavelli school with school
busses, pedestrians, bicycles, and autos all using the same space, and increased traffic on Lemay south of Country
Club Road. Engineering staff and the Sheriff s Department met with homeowners'near Tavelli school just last week
to discuss problems with traffic congestion around the school and safety for students walking to school.
The traffic added by this development will exacerbate these existing problems because the street infrastructure
simply is not adequate to handle the existing traffic. .
We therefore request that the Planning and Zoning Board deny the Richard's Lake PUD or require that the
developer be responsible for mitigation of all impacts of adding trips to these roadways as mentioned above.
