ISSUE/CONCERN: New general plan to be filed identifying Location of lift station and easements; Wetlands; SW Bell Station; Trails; Public Parkland. RESPONSE: Completed. . It should ' be noted that : the. location. of the Lift -Station must. be verified (see discussion on page 2 this memorandum). ISSUE/CONCERN: Requested a traffic analysis/impact study.. RESPONSE:. Completed; however, .the`sampling was 11 hours (0700-1800 hours), on January 22, 2004, ,and accounts for McCabe ;Rd. from the,East. and West; and Northbound SH 146• Mainlane.. "This sample is relatively :light since it appears to have. been conducted only. once. Most surveys take multiple days (at least two). The study gives a cursory -mention of other developments but generalizes a 5"/0.annuid growth and takes that factor into the -estimates for_ the survey. That rate is average for the HGAC ,region although local . estimates can, be much . ' higher. The growth; according. to the study,. will _not have a significant. impact - on the . development or.the'traffic.flow'in-relation to level -of -service ratings because of.the limited access between McCabe Road and: SH -146, now and 'in the. future. With Level -;Of -Service (LOS) A being ,the best, LOS 'D • being acceptable and LOS T being. severely congested service, the study Bites that the: development, given the parameters stated above, will rate no worse than LOS B and concludes no adverse impact for this developmerit._ ,.,t...,... .s+-.+.....,. _, .....,.r>....r. .,•:..v_ a- .r.. .n ... r ... ,..;,: c:....._:.,,.,:..v:.v._:.-��.��.__ xr.�e..:.,.r.:... ,.
