SCU06-006 August 17, 2006 Page 5 of8 staff will review the infrastructure schedule to ensure that adequate facilities are being constructed to serve the needs of this project. . Article VIII Traffic Control Plan - Truck traffic is typically associated with this type of commercial and industrial development. In an attempt to reasonably control truck traffic, Exhibit "I" is included to further define how truck traffic will be handled. This agreement contemplates that all trucks will enter and leave the site via SH146 and Wharton Weems Blvd. and no trucks will proceed north along Powell Road to Fairmont Parkway. The use of signs, driveway design, routing plans, and individual driver instruction will be used to implement these provisions. This Article also addresses driveway access. Staff and the developer have attempted to limit the installation of driveways within this project by implementing shared- access and cross-access easements. More specific review of this will occur during site plan and plat review as subsequent phases develop. The total number of drives along the SH146 feeder road is limited to 18. This assumes that some of the larger tracts will require at least two drives, while some smaller tracts may not require any drives and will utilize a shared access. . Article IX Site Rail Traffic - The developer is committed to managing on-site rail activities to establish efficient rail car movements that may decrease conflicts at Fairmont Parkway. Also, the maximum number of rail lines is established at 22 and no rail lines will extend to the east side of Powell Road. . Article X Utilities, Drainage - Staff and the developer agreed that the water system needs to deliver between 4,000 and 6,000 gallons per minute to provide suitable fire protection. This may be accomplished by tapping into the City's existing l6-inch water line on the east side of State Highway146. Sanitary sewer service can be provided via the City's existing trunk sewer main in the K Street right-of-way just south of Fairmont Parkway. Stormwater facilities will be designed in accordance with the City and HCFCD requirements. Design of stormwater detention basins will accommodate features of the Open Space/Trail System. Exhibit "E" Metes and Bounds Description: This exhibit establishes the overall boundary of this development. This boundary is shown on the General Plan.
