Mr. Steve Ach <br />July 17, 1996 <br />Page Four <br /> <br />One problem that occurs with this watermain is it is essentially a long <br />dead-end. Currently, there is no reasonable way to provide looping. We <br />would recommend that the Developer be required to extend watermain <br />east along 193rd Avenue to the intersection of Holt and Jackson Avenue <br />for potential looping in the future with the north end of the Elk Park <br />Center development. <br />Hydrants appear to be strategically located sufficiently to provide fire <br />protection for the entire development. <br />Additional easement will be needed along the north end of the plat along <br />193rd Avenue, and at the south end along Highland Road to accommodate <br />the sewer and water. <br />Since these are condominium units, each unit in a building will need to be <br />provided with a separate sanitary sewer and water service. This is in <br />accordance with City Ordinance. <br />It is not clear if the development is proposed to be phased. If phasing is <br />proposed, it will have to be reviewed relative to utility construction. <br /> <br />E. MISCELLANEOUS <br /> <br />Together with the utility improvements at the south end, we would <br />recommend that a 6-foot wide concrete sidewalk be constructed along the <br />south plat line from Jackson Avenue to the west plat boundary. This <br />sidewalk should be constructed approximately one foot off of the right-of- <br />way line to eliminate disruption with future road improvements on <br />Highland Road. <br />Street lights should be required. A public one should be installed at the <br />intersection of the internal road with Highland Road. A minimum of three <br />additional internal ones should be provided for traffic safety on the internal <br />road. <br />It appears that there are 55 proposed units in the condominium part of the <br />development. Each of these can be expected to generate an average of <br />four to six trips per day, assuming they are for seniors. This would <br />indicate that the entire condominium portion of the proposed development <br />would generate approximately 300 trips per day. It is reasonable to have <br />this much traffic with only one means of ingress and egress from the <br />development. In fact, it is probably better to have one point for access <br />rather than providing an additional access point to 193rd Avenue also, <br />which would allow for cut-through traffic and create more of an unsafe <br />condition, considering the number of driveway access points. <br /> <br />230/261-1517.jul <br /> <br /> <br />
