Further discussion: Counsitmember Zimmerman stated he agrees with Staf?s recommendation but he suggested looking at locating Well #3 along H_ighway #10.

The basis for the collation of this impact fee is consismnt with the fi.handel policies applied to Sunny Ponds and Wood Pond HiEs when those ~orfions of Sunwood Drive N.W. were ~.onsa-~ .... Me. Jankowski stated aha S m.f-f beLier'es all land owners within the describe..d area of benefit should be nothfie, d and presented with a copy of the alignment study ir' t.bJs policy is affirmed by the Ci~ Cotmci!. Mr. jan.kowski smmd that Planning Commissione~ Deemer and Hand_d. ksen have suggested that utilization of the exishng ~ road, which cm,'renfiy provides access to two prope~es on the east shone of Supx%sh Lake, could reduce the costs associated with-ti-tis project. Mr. 3ankowski believes there are negative impacts associated with such a realiD-maent, but he assured the Planning Commission that he would review the cost savings that might be realized ff a 66-foot wicir, h of right-of-way along the existing ~ road were ro be donated free of charge to the CiQ'. He l/smd the following negative impacts associated with reaiigm.ing the roadway down the MSA street: !) The considerable shoxer mrn radius would reduce the design sr~eed of the roadway from 40 mph ro 30 mph. The maximum a_mount of super elevation would be needed ro meet the 30 m¢5. design iimks; 2) The alignment of the existing dirt roadway would need to be modXfied by pushing the roadway further to the east ro avoid a small wetland and would result in more than a 60° rum; 3) The a!i]'gnment would move the intersection, with the extension of Tungsten Street N.W., 400 to 500 feet ftw. har ro the no:h, which would reauire ~-affic to "back'a'ack" twice t. kis disr. a.nce to get to the desired location, the south end of Sur~%h Lake. This exu---a ~-avel distance will discom-age a considerable nnmber of raps, pardcu2ariy those from '~,~?th Lane N.A .. from using the MSA street and opt for n'aveling to Su~sh Lake Boulevard N.W. rhi-ough Hunter's Hi!i; and 4) Locating the alig-nmenr omo the ex/s2ng dirt roadway will msuk in two direct accesses onto the collector street_ in addition,.future development on the west side of the srreet'.wii! ii. keiy a2so desire direct access onto the co!lector street as there would be iimited-ormorrmniW ro accommodate residential s~-eets ~o s::-vice the ama. ir is sound poiicy to minimize, if no[ ror2.11y eiir'nmam, all dir. eat access to co!.tector streets.
