Ward Stanford of Traffic Operations offered the following comments: a. Their comments regarding the ODP do not reflect in-depth traffic review for project impacts, only generalized land use -based traffic comments. In- depth comments on the TIS and the project will come with the Project Development Plan (PDP) review. b. The TIS needs to take into account the traffic from Hearthfire, Richard's Lake - Phase 1, Storybook, Gillespie Farms, and any other currently proposed projects in the area. C. The TIS must give an analysis for both the Country Club Road & County Road 11 and the Country Club Road & North Lemay Avenue intersections. d. This project should have connectivity with the land across the ditch. e. The current street layout does not assist in encouraging motorists to drive through the development in a safe and lawful manner. Traffic Operations suggests street planning that will reduce roadways that encourage speeding and cut-thru traffic. Please contact Ward, at 221-6820, if you have questions about these comments. 4.
