If these deviations from City Code are found acceptable, they will be processed as part of the PUD, Access and Streets: The sketch plan identifies proper extension of public streets .throughout the plat, providing connection w/th streets previously constructed as part of the Chestnut Hills and. CheStnut Ridge subdivisions (Tungsten Way and 146th Ave.), Tkis plan is acceptable to the City. The City will prepare a traffic impact study at the developers expense for consideration at the preliminary plat stage: Public streets within the subdivision scale off the plan at varying widths between 40 to 55 feet. The City!s' minimum standard is 60 feet. The private street shown do not ii',meet the City's current standards for such streets; The City's current policy requires a central public street.-It is the City's understanding that you will be proposing to deviate from these standards as part of the Proposed PUD. .
