FROM: Kay Force RE: Hugh M. Woods Final Submittal Development of the Hugh M. Woods site has presented the opportunity to improve the traffic circulation associated with the frontage road in front of the Hickory House Restaurant. The approval by the Planning an Zoning Board on Nov. 14 of the Preliminary P.U.D. was conditional on resolving the safety issues of this frontage road at the Skyway Drive intersection. Several meetings with the affected property owners, and with the city culminated Nov. 29 with a design that was judged acceptable. At this point, the project engineer was able to begin to incorporate the additional design that will be required to improve circulation through the commercial uses that include Hickory House, Deli Works and Kangaroo Storage. The Final P.U.D. submittal will be on December 19, 1994. The Site Plan will incorporate this additional design. RBD Inc., the project engineer, proposes to submit the engineering in the following manner: In addition to final engineering on the original portion of the project, a part of the Timan Master Plan, they will submit preliminary design on the Hickory House site. Based on the final plan and profile of Skyway Drive, RBD will provide preliminary grading of the proposed access and associated parking, typical sections, as well as locate any necessary retaining walls. Preliminary drainage calculations will be submitted, in addition to potential routing of drainage. By Feb. 8, the scheduled date to submit plan revisions, RBD will provide the balance of the final design for the Hickory House access realignment. This will also include a demolition plan for the existing improvements, as well as letters of agreement from the affected property owners, and any necessary easements. This will allow Planning and Zoning to review the project, knowing that their conditions have been met. We hope this approach is acceptable to the planning department. We see this as an opportunity to improve the existing circulation at the Skyway and College intersection, while keeping the project on schedule. cc: Barry Hilton Tom Vossberg RBD,Inc Mike Herzig APWA- �— o 41 -T j1.
