The traffic study needs to address an appropriate design of interior streets to accommodate both residential and commercial streets. 6. Street tree planting design should be provided along both Manhattan and Horsetooth and should coordinate with existing utilities that may be located within this area. 7.

A neighborhood meeting is scheduled for this project on Wednesday, May 4, 1988 at 7:00 p.m. at Lopez School. 9. Consideration should be given to increasing the size of the single family lots that front on the collector street in phase 1. 10. Intent to buffer this project from the existing development to the west should be shown on the Master Plan. 11. The intent of maintenance of landscaping along streets needs to be clari- f ied.
