Troy,
Please accept this email as my comments on the Johnson Property ODP located at the intersection of
Drake and Timberline.
1. The applicant needs to be fully aware that there are APF issues with the intersection of Timberline and
Prospect. The intersection is operating at LOS F in the morning and afternoon peak hours. There is no
capacity in the intersection to accommodate additional growth in the area and there is no city capital
project to remedy the condition. The applicant must be made aware that they are undertaking the risk of
not receiving any building permits if/when the project proceeds to final plan.
2. Other projects in the area that are undertaking the same risk is Spring Creek Farms located directly
west of their project.
3. Based on the volumes predicted in the TIS, I will be requiring auxiliary right turn lanes on Timberline at
all of the access locations. When Timberline becomes a six -lane arterial, the auxiliary lanes won't be
necessary.
4. The TIS evaluated only three access locations on Drake Road. The site plan shows four. The first
access location that is east of Timberline appears to be too close to the intersection and should be
eliminated.
5. Existing deficiencies in the area that need to be addressed are the two -one lane bridges on Ziegler
Road. The increase in recent traffic has, in my opinion, created a hazard that needs correction.
Kind Regards,
Eric L. Bracke, P.E.
