Transportation and Circulation -- The River Park subdivision currently has only one access point at 191st Ave and Cleveland Ave. This access serves 59 single-family parcels, 32 constructed townhome units, and Twin Lakes Elementary School. These uses generate an estimated 1,182 vehicle trips per day, which exceeds the recommended traffic livability standards for a two-lane road. Additional traffic within the subdivision is a concern, and the development is at the point that a second access is needed. In reviewing previous approvals for River Park, the project area has received approval for 48 townhome units, but additional platting would be required prior to building permits being issued. However, additional city approvals are not required for this plat, and they can be recorded at the county without signatures from the mayor or city attorney. Previous city approvals from 2005 provided authorization to build the townhomes, potentially generating an additional 288 vehicle trips per day. The proposal reduces the number of units to 18 single-family homes, reducing traffic impacts to 180 vehicle trips per day. Due to the reduction in traffic impacts, staff supports the proposed application. Development Fees -- Park dedication, surface water management, and water access charges were satisfied with the first River Park plat in 2005.
