COMMUNITY PLANNING AND ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES 281 N. College Ave. P.O. Box 580 Fort Collins, CO 80522-0580 (303) 221-6750 PLANNING DEPARTMENT 0 Hugh M. Woods PUD - Preliminary, #26-88D November 14, 1994 P & Z Meeting Page 2 COMMENTS: 1. Background: The surrounding zoning and land uses are as follows: N: C, FA; existing single family residential in Larimer County (Skyview Acres) S: bp; vacant (Timan P.U.D., O.D.P.) E: C; existing commercial in Larimer County (Kel-Mar Strip) W: FA; existing business/office in Larimer County (Foothills -Gateway Rehabilitation Center) This property was annexed into the City of Fort Collins with the Timan First Annexation in June, 1988. The Timan P.U.D., O.D.P. was approved by the Planning and Zoning Board in June, 1988 for office/retail/warehouses on 53 acres. The subject property is located on Parcel A (retail/warehouse), Parcel B (open space/detention), and Parcel C (retail) of the approved Timan P.U.D., O.D.P. 2. Land Use: This is a request for P.U.D. approval for a 73,500 square foot building, with an additional 63,576 square feet of canopy coverage (including building materials, commodity storage), on 15.83 acres. The request was evaluated against the Auto -Related and Roadside Commercial Point chart and the applicable All Development Criteria of the L.D.G.S. It scores 54% on the Point Chart, earning points for: a) being located other than at the intersection of two arterial streets (Skyway Drive is not classified as an arterial street); b) gaining primary access from a non -arterial street (Skyway Drive); c) containing more than two acres; and d) a commitment to reducing non-renewable energy usage (a copy of Appendix "E", the Energy Conservation Methods worksheet is attached). The Hugh M. Woods P.U.D., Preliminary is in conformance with the approved Timan P.U.D., O.D.P., a 53 acre plan that extends along the South College Avenue frontage from Skyway Drive to Trilby Road. The project site is located on Parcels A, B, and C of the O.D.P., which were approved for retail, retail/warehouse, and open space/detention. The nature of the proposed Hugh M. Woods operation is considered to be retail/warehouse uses. Hugh M. Woods PUD - Preliminary, #26-88D November 14, 1994 P & Z Meeting Page 3 "Superstore" Moratorium: While the total proposed square footage equals 137,076, the Hugh M.Woods proposal is not subject to the "Superstore" Moratorium. "Superstores" are defined as any building or combination of buildings exceeding 80,000 square feet which receive a single certificate of occupancy. In the case of the proposed Hugh M. Woods project, only the 73,500 square foot building will receive a certificate of occupancy. 3. Design: Site Configuration: There will be two distinct areas of this operation: * the first being the front entry of the retail center that includes parking for in-store retail customers, and * the second being lumberyard/contractor storage and pick-up. T materials structures that enclose the yard well as a portion of t a masonry wall, and t the enclosure for the the south side. Architecture: h h the completely enclosed center that includes materials he commodity storage and building will serve as the fences or walls on the north and west sides, as e south side. The sales building, e wrought iron fencing will form entire east side and a portion of The building will be a flat -roofed structure, 24' in height, with standing seam metal canopies, primarily over doorways, extending to an approximate height of 34' above grade. The exterior wall facades will be a split -face block material. The fencing and fence posts at the lumberyard/contractor center entry will be a black wrought iron material. Landscaping: Street trees, spaced at 40' on -center, will be provided along the South College Avenue and Skyway Drive frontages. The parking lots outside of the lumberyard enclosure will contain planting islands at the ends of and intermediate to the parking bays. There will also be a planting island, containing a sidewalk, the full width of the parking lot that will provide direct pedestrian access to the front entry of the store. The islands will contain shade and ornamental trees and a variety of shrubbery plant material. Hugh M. Woods PUD - Preliminary, #26-88D November 14, 1994 P & Z Meeting Page 4 There will be setbacks of approximately 80' from the south edge of Skyway Drive to the commodity storage structure that will contain 3' to 4' high earthen berms, shade and ornamental trees, evergreen trees, and a grass -lined drainage swale. There will be setbacks of 110' to 120' from the west property line to the commodity storage and building materials structures that will contain 3' to 5' high earthen berms, shade and ornamental trees, evergreen trees, and a grass -lined drainage swale. Parking: There are a total of 294 parking spaces proposed for the Hugh M. Woods site. Of these spaces, 253 are located outside of the enclosed lumberyard/storage area and the remaining 41 spaces are located inside the walled enclosure. The parking to retail/warehouse building ratio (294:73,500) equals 4.0 parking spaces per 1,000 square feet of gross floor area. The recommended guideline for general retail use is 4 spaces per 1,000 square feet. The parking being provided is considered to be sufficient for the facility. signage: The property is excluded from the Residential Neighborhood Sign District. All signage for this development is subject to the strict regulations of the City Sign Code that is administered by the Zoning Department. 4. Neighborhood Compatibility: There were two neighborhood information meetings held to discuss this development. Both meetings were at the Foothills -Gateway Rehabilitation Center located directly west of the Hugh M. Woods site. The first neighborhood meeting was held on July 20, 1994 with 39 people (including Hugh M. Woods representatives) in attendance. The concerns expressed at this meeting centered around the use of Skyway Drive as the primary point of access to the development. There are residential neighborhoods to the north, directly across Skyway Drive, and to the south, separated by the Foothills -Gateway facility. The neighborhoods feel that the existing street cannot bear the pressure of the additional traffic from Hugh M. Woods. There is a steep grade on Skyway Drive, from west to east, that can be unsafe, especially in the winter, and this hill terminates at the intersection of Skyway Drive and South College Avenue. The general feeling of the neighborhood was to require the access to Hugh M. Woods be directly from South College Avenue. The minutes of this meeting are unavailable. Hugh M. Woods PUD - Preliminary, #26-88D November 14, 1994 P & Z Meeting Page 5 The second neighborhood meeting was held, at the developer's request, on August 11, 1994 with approximately 25 people (including Hugh M. Woods representatives) in attendance. The purpose of the meeting was for the Hugh M. Woods representatives to present revisions of the plan to those in attendance. The revisions were a result of the developer's response to concerns expressed at the first meeting. The main concern was still, however, the primary access to the Hugh M. Woods site being from Skyway Drive. The minutes of this neighborhood meeting are attached to this staff report. 5. Transportation: The State of Colorado has in effect a South College Avenue Access Control Plan that regulates movement to State Highway 287, both in location and type. The Hugh M. Woods site will gain its primary access from Skyway Drive, a collector street, via South College Avenue, the State highway. The access point will be approximately 300' west of South College. The Skyway Drive -South College intersection is presently signalized and full movement can occur. Due to increased vehicular traffic that will be generated by Hugh M. Woods, improvements to the intersection will be an obligation of this developer. These improvements include a realignment of the existing frontage road on the north side of Skyway Drive. This frontage road serves as the access for numerous businesses. The realignment of the frontage road will physically impact two existing restaurants, being the Hickory House South and the Deli -Works. Staff is recommending a condition of preliminary approval requiring signed agreements between Hugh M. Woods and these restaurants that address the necessary improvements. A secondary point of access will be on South College Avenue, approximately 850' south of Skyway Drive, at the southeast corner of the Hugh M. Woods proposed site. This secondary point will be a controlled access, not allowing full movement to and from the site. It is doubtful that this access would ever be signalized. 6. Storm Drainage: The general storm drainage pattern for this site is from west to east. The stormwater outfall from this development occurs at a point approximately 500' south of the Skyway Drive -South College intersection and is piped under the highway to a point of release that is not yet clearly identified. Potentially affected properties on the east side of the highway include various businesses in the Kel-Mar Commercial Strip, the Huntington Hills residential development, the Lynn Acres Subdivision, Sunburst Knolls, and a wetland area that is currently being considered for acquisition by Hugh M. Woods PUD - Preliminary, #26-88D November 14, 1994 P & Z Meeting Page 6 the City's Natural Resources Division. Off -site drainage easements for the Hugh M. Woods development may be necessary to allow release of their stormwater onto and across other properties. Staff is recommending a condition of preliminary approval requiring dedicated off -site easements to Hugh M. Woods from the affected property owners. 7. Resource Protection: Staff is recommending a condition of preliminary P.U.D. approval requiring that a design and mitigation plan for the wetlands on - site, which is acceptable to the Natural Resources Division, be part of the Final P.U.D. plan submittal to the City. The submittal documentation must fully describe the extent of wetland impacts from site development, including both construction and stormwater discharge. The submittal must define the area of construction disturbance for both on -site and off -site wetland areas, and must set forth acceptable strategies, techniques, and costs for the avoidance, alleviation, or mitigation of those impacts. FINDINGS of FACT/CONCLUSIONS: In evaluating the request for the Hugh M. Woods P.U.D., Preliminary, staff makes the following findings of fact: * It is in conformance with the approved Timan P.U.D., O.D.P., which designates this site as retail, retail/warehouse, and open space/detention uses. * It scores 54% on the Auto -Related and Roadside Commercial Point Chart in the L.D.G.S., exceeding the minimum required earned credit of 50 percentage points; * It meets the applicable All Development Criteria in the L.D.G.S. except A-2.1 Vehicular, Pedestrian, and Bicycle Transportation, A-3.1 Utility Capacity, and A-3..2 Design Standards. * The property is excluded from the Residential Neighborhood Sign District. All signage for this development is subject to the strict regulations of the City Sign Code that is administered by the Zoning Department. * Realignment of the frontage road north of Skyway Drive and west of South College Avenue is needed for the Skyway Drive -South College intersection to operate safely. * Off -site drainage easements are needed to allow the release of stormwater runoff from the Hugh M. Woods site. Hugh M. Woods PUD - Preliminary, #26-88D November 14, 1994 P & Z Meeting Page 7 * A design and mitigation plan for the wetlands on -site, which is acceptable to the Natural Resources Division, must be part of the Final P.U.D. plan submittal to the City. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the Hugh M. Woods P.U.D., Preliminary - #26-88D with the following conditions: 1. That necessary improvements to the Skyway Drive and South College Avenue intersection include a realignment of the existing frontage road on the north side of Skyway Drive and west of South College. The realignment of the frontage road will physically impact two existing restaurants, being the Hickory House South and the Deli -Works. Signed agreements between Hugh M. Woods, the Hickory House South, and the Deli - Works, outlining the scope of and obligation for the improvements, must be part of the Final P.U.D. plan submittal to the City. 2. That off -site drainage easements for the Hugh M. Woods development may be necessary to allow release of their stormwater onto and across other properties. Off -site easement dedications for storm drainage, to Hugh M. Woods from affected property owners, must be part of the Final P.U.D. plan submittal to the City. 3. That a design and mitigation plan which is acceptable to the Natural Resources Division be part of the Final P.U.D. plan submittal to the City. The submittal documentation must fully describe the extent of wetland impacts from site development, including both construction and stormwater discharge. The submittal must define the area of construction disturbance for both on -site and off -site wetland areas, and must set forth acceptable strategies, techniques, and costs for the avoidance, alleviation, or mitigation of those impacts.

Woods P.U.D. Preliminary Submittal Planning Objectives Dear Board Members: The 15-acre project site is located on the west side of College Avenue at Skyway Drive, being a part of the Timan Master Plan approved in 1987, with by zoning. Hugh M. Woods, a 73,000 S.F. building supply center will be the first user of the 55-acre master planned site. The site is bounded on the east by the county Kelmar Strip Subdivision, on the north by the county Skyview 1st Subdivision, on the west by Poudre R-1 property and the Gateway Center, and on the south by the undeveloped portion of the Timan Master Plan. This facility is consistent with the use and circulation proposed on the master plan, and will set the precedent for architectural and landscape treat- ment to be followed by subsequent developers of the Timan Master Plan. Access and Circulation In conformance with the Timan Master Plan and with the State Highway Access Plan, the site will take its main entrance off of Skyway Drive. Traffic studies have determined that the site distance is adequate and that appropriate turning lanes justify this access point. A secondary access point will be utilized off of College Avenue, being right -in, right -out, as specified by the State Highway Access Plan. Although adjacent to Skyview 1st Subdivision, no retail or delivery traffic will pass residences in that subdivision. Circulation within the site includes a parking lot, and an initial segment of public street, with the potential for extension of the master planned ��� E s c Ave 80524 circulation. The Timan Master plan provides for a public loop street �30 )asa_,s21 from the proposed right -in, right -out access to an approved signalized intersection approximately 700 feet north of Trilby Road. The master plan also designates a fourth access off of Trilby Road. Wetland Areas The wetland area on the site has been surveyed, and the extent mapped. Development will maintain this area, incorporating it into a storm detention area, and preserving the existing trees at the site. Open Space Approximately 35 % of the site will be maintained as open space. While some of this area consists of parking islands, the majority of open space occurs as a landscaped buffer to the uses on the north and west. Berms and landscaping along Skyway Drive will be 60 feet wide, while those at the west property line will vary from 95 to 120 feet deep. The open space along College Avenue varies from 40 to 230 feet deep. Buffering Additional buffering will be provided by the grading and internal design of the site. The yard loading area will set several feet below Skyway Drive, and be completely screened from it by the material storage structures which surround the yard. This configuration will also attenuate any sound or lighting from within the yard area. Energy Conservation Construction techniques and equipment for this facility provide numerous opportunities for energy conservation, and these methods will be noted as part of the documented site plan. 0a Land Use Policies The specific land use policies achieved in the Preliminary PUD are cited below, with policy numbers as shown in the City's Land Use Policies Plan. Policy 18 - exceeds minimum criteria as specified by point chart Policy 21 - development does not gain primary access off College Avenue Policy 22 - buffering mitigates potential for incompatible uses Policy 24 - utilities exist adjacent to site Policy 43b - existing wetland will be protected Policy 43f - landscaping to incorporate native and drought tolerant species Policy 44 - site design mitigates noise impacts Policy 46 - site design encourages energy conservation Thank you for your consideration, and we look forward to working with you throughout the development review process.

Woods, P.U.D. DATE: August 11, 1994 APPLICANT: Barry Hilton, Payless/Cashways Company CONSULTANT: Jim Sell, Jim Sell Design PLANNER: Steve Olt This meeting was a follow-up meeting. The purpose of this meeting was for a design review of the original plans for the Hugh M. Woods store to be built at the corner of Skyway Drive and College Avenue in Fort Collins. The entire structure is to be 730,000 square feet. The warehouse showroom is to be 57,000 square feet. The building will be of concrete block/masonry. There will be a drive through lumber yard with six lanes; three entrance lanes and three exit lanes. QUESTIONS, CONCERNS, COMMENTS 1. We are concerned about the neighborhood adjacent to Skyway Drive. 2. Why does the access road have to be Skyway, can't this be changed? A. We have shifted the point of entrance 45 feet from the intersection and added an alley to take up less of Skyway. 3. What changes have been made to the plans. A. We have added 80 feet of landscape buffer with berms. There has been an additional row of trees because no sidewalk was required. 1 4. The building will be an eyesore. A. The ground we are building on is depressed, essentially one would look over the top of most of the building. This will be a low profile building. 5. Will there be a separate right turn lane coming Southbound on Skyway? A. Yes, and an additional road to loop back to the flow of traffic will be built. 6. How long will it be until the project is completed? A. We are in the early stages of planning. 7. We are concerned about the construction of Skyway, will it hold this traffic or can it be rebuilt? A. The development proposal East of College, Huntington Hills will have access via Skyway Drive. If both developments go through Skyway will be reconstructed and aligned; additional turn lanes will be added and an intersection constructed. 8. Why does Skyway have to be the access road, why not just have Highway 287 be the access street? A. Highway 287 is governed by the State Highway Access Control Code which maintains the flow of traffic regarding how development can intersect with a state highway. The state would rather have a side street connect to the highway to maintain movement and safety. 9. Skyway should not be the entrance to Hugh M. Woods because it is a hill and it will be icy in the winter. People can't control their cars on the hill when it is icy. 10. Why does Wal-mart have access to 287? A. Wal-mart has access to 287 but it also has access to Harmony Road. 2 11. Will this project be reason to widen the entrance of Skyway? A. Yes, it will be widened. 12. Can you make a frontage road like the one on the East side of 287? A. No. The frontage road on the East side is a problem, it is not set to standard. Cars stack up at the intersection and cause problems at the turn intersection. 13. The residents here enjoy the wildlife that lives in this area. What efforts have been made to protect the wildlife instead of killing it off? A. The City of Fort Collins Natural Resources Department will evaluate the area. 14. Do people have any say regarding this site and the wildlife? A. The habitat has not been evaluated yet but it must meet the requirements set forth by the City of Fort Collins Natural Resources Department. 15. Will this proposed development be within the city limits? A. Yes. 16. Is the area across the street within the city limits? A. No. 17. What is planned for the North side of College, South of Trilby, on the North side of Tynans Nissan? A. It is unknown at this time. 18. I see this as a quality development, I am in support of the project coming in. I also like the development process. 19. Will we be notified of the public hearings? A. Yes. 3 20. Some of us are concerned that our neighborhood is in the County, we have bad streets and no drainage. What can the City do to help us? A. One option is annexation into the City. The City cannot take care of the roads unless neighborhood is annexed. 21. We do not want any additional traffic on Constellation. 22. The City won't annex our neighborhood because of the poor streets and the drainage problems. We would love to be a part of the City. 23. Would you want this in front of your door; all the traffic? 24. Why was this site selected? A. Payless/Cashways looks for sites that are zoned or master planned for our use. This site was master planned as a warehouse in 1989. Some of the things we have done to make this development more attractive are: allowed for alot of green area, have made a big buffer area, building is recessed so that it is low profile, loading facility is at the front of building so no more access of Skyway is required. 25. Who makes the ultimate decision on the intersection? A. Within the Urban Growth Area jurisdiction falls under the city; however, 287 is State Highway so State ultimately approves any plans. 26. I don't see any berms along the West Side, will they be put in? A. Yes, there are the same berms on both sides. 28. Will the 80 feet of landscape buffer be maintained if the roads are widened or will the roads take away from berms? A. Street will not be enlarged, berms will remain as planned. 4 29. This drawing does not match the existing property. A. Curb gutter and sidewalk will be added, that is why it looks different. 30. If changes are made to Skyway will the City require that the entire street is fixed? A. Sometimes streets are redone with money from the Street Oversizing Fund. 31. What is being done to control noise and lighting? A. No loud speakers are being used. Off site spillage of lighting is not permitted by the City of Fort Collins. 32. Will the lights be on 24 hours a day? A. Every fourth or fifth light would remain on after closing, . but most lights are turned out. 33. Will there be perimeter lighting on the outside of the commodities storage buildings? A. No. 34. We are concerned with the architectural quality of the back walls to the North and West. Will they be brick or something more residential looking? A. A compromise could be made such as to put a stone or brick cap on top. It should look like a high quality security wall. 35. Has the irrigation ditch been taken into consideration. A. It will be straightened and relocated. 36. Will there be a detention pond? A. Yes, there is already an existing detention pond. 5 37. The lane divider you plan to build on Skyway, will it be painted or a raised divider? A. It will be painted which is normal for a collector street like this one. 38. We are concerned about the frontage road on the North side of Skyway. 39. What kind of uses are proposed around this site? A. Predominately retail/commercial master planned. However, any master plan is subject to change. 40. Where are you in the development process? A. This project has not been submitted to the City yet. The next submittal date is August 22, 1994. 41. Are there any long range plans for Highway 287 becoming a 55 mph zone between Skyway and Harmony? A. Nothing has been planned for the near future. 42. Will there eventually be a median built to divide the lanes on Highway 287? A. There are currently no plans for extending the existing median on Highway 287. 111 NEIGHBORHOOD INFORMATION MEETING 'r-r Project Meetina Locatio Dat Attendees: lease sign this sheet.

WOODS, retail building center July 20, 1994 PAYLESS CASHWAYS, INC. Jim Sell, Jim Sell Design, Inc. Steve Olt The meeting began with a description of the proposed project. The site is located across the street from the Hickory House Restaurant and near the corner of Highway 287 and Skyway Drive. QUESTIONS, CONCERNS, COMMENTS 1. What kind of material is this building made of? RESPONSE: Tilt -up masonry units for what we call the "box" of the building which is the main, big building. Then the courtyard part of the structure is siding. 2. Our biggest concern as nearby residents in this area is the impact this project will have on Skyway Drive. We do not want an entrance to this store from Skyway. The hill right there gets very slick and dangerous in the winter months. The county puts lots of sand on it and automobiles seem to slide to the traffic light because of it. 3. Within five minutes of our homes we can shop at Builder's Square or UBC and within fifteen minutes we can shop at Sutherlands down on College Avenue. We do not need another store of this kind in this part of town. 4. What are the stores working hours and will there be semi trucks loading and unloading and coming in off of Skyway Drive? RESPONSE: The store hours are 7:30 am to 8:00 pm, Monday through Friday and typical summer hours will be 7:30 am to 9:00 pm. 281 North College Avenue • P.O. Box 580 • Fort Collins, CO 80522-0580 • (303) 221-6750 Deliveries start at approximately 8:00 am and they stop around 5:00 pm. There should not be any overnight parking in our outside parking lot of semi -trailer trucks. 5. Will there be a fence around the store? Our courtyard area buildings will be built subterranean style, with part of the structure built into the hillside and approximately eight feet of the building above the ground. The lighting that we have along the inside of the courtyard area will be installed on the buildings and made to shine downward into the compound. The parking lot area in the front of the store off Hwy 287 will have the required foot candles needed to light a parking lot. 6. The front part of this proposed site is in a flood plain area, so what will happen to the retention pond? RESPONSE: It will be kept in place, however there will be less standing water than there is now. Storm Drainage Department of the City will design this area for a 100 year flood. The whole existing irrigation and drainage system will be reviewed for this area. 7. We're all County residents patrol Skyway Drive and the area this is built? RESPONSE: Yes. out here. Will the City police surrounding the proposed site if 8. This proposed site has lots of wildlife living on it. Three bald eagles have been seen living here along with numerous prairie dogs, hawks, etc. Has the resident wildlife on this land been taken into account and would the present owner of this property even remotely be interested in keeping this area an open wildlife area? RESPONSE: Natural Resources does not have any data on this particular area, however they will be involved in this process and it will be reviewed. 9. Who are most of your customers? Are they wholesale or mainly retail? RESPONSE: It's about fifty - fifty. 10. The traffic impact on Skyway Drive is of utmost concern to us. RESPONSE: A traffic study will be submitted. And the County will also be involved will the review of this proposed building site. 11. What guarantees do we have that this store will be kept looking presentable over the years? RESPONSE: This store is one of our proto-types and we are proud of the appearance of it and it will be kept looking nice. 0 12. Stanley Scott, one of the nearby residents, submitted a letter he had typed up to the City and would like it attached to the minutes. Meeting adjourned at approximately 8:40 pm.

I would prefer to see the undeveloped land near my home remain in its current near -natural state. At the same time, I believe it is unrealistic to expect that land abutting US 287 in this area will remain "Prairie Dog Estates". My specific concerns with the proposed development include noise, lighting, traffic, and aesthetics. I believe the best we can hope to achieve is a development that is a "tolerable" commercial neighbor. I therefore urge the Fort Collins Planning Commission to require the following conditions for development of this property as a Payless Cashways: 1) Prohibit all outside sound amplification; 2) Limit the hours of most illumination of the property to the hours of operation; 3) Require that lighting be directed onto the property, not into the neighborhood; 4) Limit access to and egress from the property to only US 287 (College Ave.), thus providing no access to or egress from the property from or onto Skyway Drive (Skyway Drive is a collector street serving residential neighborhoods and Foothills -Gateway Rehabilitation Center.); 5) Require solid screening and quality, well -maintained landscaping, especially along the north and west property lines; 6) Provide no waivers of existing height or size restrictions for signs; 7) Prohibit overnight, on -sight parking of delivery trucks and trailers; 8) Limit size and location "of display areas; and 9) Prohibit outside storage of equipment and materials. While I would prefer to see a less intense development (ie. offices), you will receive my "informed consent" if the above conditions are included in the development plan. Stanley J. Scott Nancy A.

Woods - Response to Transportation Division concerns (File: 9480MEM1) This memorandum addresses the concerns reflected in the "Project Comment Sheet" (9/26/94) from Tom Vosburg. a. The attached sketch is a plan that shows the alignment of Skyway Drive on both sides of College Avenue. The attached sketch is being formally drawn to scale, under my direction, by Jim Sell Design, for submission also. b. The attached sketch also shows a potential alignment of the frontage road around the Hickory House. It shows a potential access scheme for the Hickory House. C. The nomographs in Appendix A show the left -turn storage analysis for Skyway Drive west of College Avenue. Using the afternoon peak hour volume (230 vph), a turn lane of 240-315 feet is required. The dual left -turn lanes shown provide 340 feet of storage. The westbound left -turn lane at the H.M. Woods access is technically not required. However, since the pavement will be available, a 50 foot left -turn lane is shown on the sketch. This left -turn lane will reduce vehicle conflicts. Refinement of this design should occur in the course of the development review process.
