Planning Commission March 22, 2016, Meeting During the public hearing on March 22, 2016, a number of residents spoke against connecting Sunset Ridge with Miske Meadows. Residents voiced concern over traffic and safety on the narrow streets in Sunset Ridge. They also noted significant safety concerns with the intersection of Lincoln Street and Twin Lakes Road. Residents also expressed concern with increased traffic on Twin Lakes Road and safety at the intersection with Cleveland Ave. Residents of both River Park and Sunset Ridge are not pleased with the narrow detached townhome lots proposed by the developer. The Planning Commission recommended removing the Lincoln Street connection, platting a full right-of- way width, and replacing it with a 10' trail and a break -away barrier to support emergency vehicle access. The Planning Commission should include this as an additional condition of approval. The Commission also recommended completing a traffic study to evaluate traffic impacts from the proposed development. Staff spoke with the City Engineer and he closely reviewed the traffic study included in the 2004 EAW. He is confident that the assumptions and recommendations included in the traffic study are consistent with what is proposed and does not recommend an updated traffic study. If the Planning Commission has a desire to see an updated study completed, a condition stating that should be included in the conditions for approval. At the request of the applicant the Planning Commission continued the item to April 26, 2016.
