In attendance at this meeting was Ken Goff, Hunter Architectural Group; Dick Rutherford, Stewarts and Associates and Sherry Albertson -Clark, Project Planner for the City Planning Department. Approximately 17 residents/property owners attended the meeting. The meeting began with an introduction by Sherry Albertson -Clark to the purpose of the meeting. Ken Goff then provided an overview of the proposed street connection, after which, questions and comments on the proposed project were addressed. The following summarizes the questions asked and responses given by the architect and/or staff, as well as comments made by the residents. Question : Why is the temporary access back as part of the project? Response: This was approved with the preliminary plan and are not proposing to build Snead Drive now. It would be built when Paul Heffron's land develops. uestion: What will happen to the median in Fossil Creek Parkway? Response: Would be relocating any landscaping, as per City Forester. Would be doing any necessary work to repair irrigation system. uestion: Would improvements be needed at the College/Fossil Creek intersection? Response: Would be left -turn bay and overlay required. Comment: Concerned about left -turns into the property and how would be mitigated. Comment: Paul Heffron (adjacent owner) emphasized that access would be temporary, not a final situation. Comment: Concerned that temporary access will delay and further impact safety issues of area. Would there be a signal at Fossil Creek? Response: South College Access Plan designates a signal at the re -aligned location of Fossil Creek Parkway. Signal would be installed when warranted. Comment: Concerned that Snead Drive may never go in. Why even talk about it. uestion: Is the buffer a minimum of 25"? 0 • Response: Would be a minimum of 25' from property line to flow line. As road heads north, would curve to the west, increasing this buffer area. Comment: Resident of house adjacent to proposed street. Would rather have street and buffer strip next to home, than a building. uestion: What does master plan with road location mean? Response: Staff replied that there is an approved master plan that indicates a road connection through the Heffron property in a general location. This plan is approved, but it does not specifically locate or pin -down the street location. uestion: Could berms be used in the buffer strip to provide better buffering? Response: Yes. Paul Heffron intends to provide 2-3 3" caliper trees to each property owner for their lots, as buffering. Also intends to provide landscaping in the buffer strip itself. Could look at berms, if could be adequately designed to hold plant material. Comment: Concerned that 25' buffer may not be adequate. Maybe 50' is needed. Question : Why does Snead Drive need to go through? Response: Developer would like to see it, but it is not necessary for the Fossil Creek Design Center. Paul Heffron added that it is not critical to the development of his property. Staff replied that City has seen value of this connection (at some point in the future) as means of providing re -circulation in north/south fashion without traffic being forced on College Avenue. Will further discussion with engineering staff on this item. Comment: Concerned that location of this access on College would interfere with existing accel lane. Comment: Paul Heffron suggested that the Snead Drive connection not be made and suggested other alternatives to a true street (ie. pedestrian access, emergency access). Comment: Concerned that street would encourage traffic through a residential area. Question : Could off -premises signage be used to direct customers to this site? Response: Could be possibility, but expect many customers to be repeat customers who would learn way to the project. uestion: What is separation between Snead Drive and Fossil Ridge Drive? Response: About 200' separation. Comment: Street in this location might provide a buffer to buildings that might be placed on Heffron property. y! uestion: What is status of storm drainage? How can City approve a project without specifics on storm drainage, energy dissipater and sediment trap? Response: Storm drainage information has been submitted to City and is being reviewed. Design for energy dissipater is also completed. No design is done for the sediment trap. Staff added that City cannot require additional items (ie. energy dissipater, sediment trap), but developer is willing to work with City on these items. Since they are not a requirement, City will not delay final review if these designs are not finished. All required storm drainage items/information must be completed prior to final Board review. uestion: Will drainage pipe be adequate for drainage from Heffron property? Response: Yes. Comment: Concerned that when other properties in basin develop, impacts on Fossil Creek will be too great. Comment: Concerned that flows coming from property west of College are also impacting Fossil Creek. Response: Project is required to address own storm drainage flows and will improve existing situation, including flows from west of College. uestion: Could berming help flood problems along Snead Drive? Response: Yes, but if project had been built, water from water line break probably would not have impacted residences along Fossil Ridge Drive. Question : Why a swale versus a pipe for drainage flows? Response: Using pipe. Is sized large enough that debris shouldn't be a problem. Swales are easier to clean. uestion: Has back-up of drainage at Fossil Creek been considered? Response: Yes, pipe should not become clogged, due to size. Energy dissipater would slow energy of water flow as it enters the creek. Question : Why aren't ponds or on -site detention being used here? Works in other areas. Response: Staff replied that Fossil Creek Basin does not require on -site detention like other basins. Comment: Concerned that water in basin and volumes must go somewhere in basin. uestion: Would buffer remain at 25' or could it be reduced? Response: Would have to be reviewed as part of Heffron property development, which also requires the PUD process. uestion: What will be under review at March 27 Board meeting? -3- Response: Final plan, showing Snead Drive ending at the south property line of Fossil Creek Design Center. Street connection is implied by the proposed final plan.
