RE: Twin Spruce PUD Condition
DT: June 25, 1990
At the June 22 work session, Board members expressed concerns that future
potential office uses at the Twin Spruce site could have a greater impact
on the site (and surrounding neighborhood) than the proposed computer
software development office use. As a result, staff is proposing a
condition limiting future office uses by the amount of traffic that could
be generated. This means that while another office use that could employ
ten employees (as proposed on the Twin Spruce PUD) and be of greater
impact could locate at this site, the traffic generation figures would
restrict the intensity of future office uses. A good example of an office
use that could produce a greater traffic impact (while having the same
number of employees) would be a real estate office.
In working with Transportation
Director, Rick
Ensdorff, a figure of
30
VTE (vehicle trip
ends) was
established as
representative of a "low
intensity" use. The
30 VTE figure
was derived
from the assumption
that
ten employees could
generate 20
trips (arriving
to work/leaving work)
per
day and that fewer
than half
of the employees may leave the site
for
lunch or errands.
Staff is recommending the following condition on the Twin Spruce PUD,
Preliminary/Final (which would be placed on the site plan):
1. Future office uses at this site would be restricted to those office uses
that would not generate traffic impacts in excess of 30 VTE (vehicle trip
ends) per day.
A point of clarification is needed regarding the number of employees for
this proposed PUD. Staff has assumed that the two principals in Hawkeye
Information Systems were included in the ten employees proposed for the
site. It is the applicant's intent that they not be included in the number
of employees. Thus, the maximum number of employees at the site would
be ten, excluding the principals of Hawkeye Information Systems.

Staff is comfortable with this clarification, since any impacts associated
with the principals of Hawkeye Information Systems would be generally
related to their residence on the site and parking is still adequate to
support ten employees and the principals.
