Boulevard, and Sunfish Lake Boulevard and how that would impact the traffic on Ramsey <br />Boulevard, Alpine Boulevard and Sunfish Lake Boulevard. He stated that he would like to see the <br />traffic studies that have been completed as he did not believe that the traffic levels would be <br />acceptable. He commented that if improvements are needed to specific intersections because of <br />the three developments he mentioned, those improvements should be funded by those developers <br />rather than the taxpayers. <br /> <br />nd <br />Nick Kunkle, 9040 162 Lane NW, referenced Andre and noted that there is already traffic that <br />cuts through on Andre to avoid sections of Highway 10. He stated that he would be concerned <br />with additional traffic attempting to avoid congestion on Highway 10 attempting to cut through <br />the Northfork neighborhood. He asked that a comprehensive traffic plan be developed to get the <br />residents out of the proposed neighborhoods without impacting Northfork. <br /> <br />Commissioner VanScoy asked if the traffic studies are available and whether they apply to these <br />parcels. <br /> <br />Community Development Director Gladhill stated that there have been several traffic studies in <br />this area but believed that updated information would be provided through preliminary plat. He <br />referenced the other traffic studies that are publicly available that were completed for Riverstone <br />and the industrial park. <br /> <br />Commissioner VanScoy stated that as he understood the case, the draft 2040 Comprehensive Plan <br />would be consistent with the changes proposed tonight. <br /> <br />Community Development Director Gladhill commented that the draft 2040 Comprehensive Plan <br />was changed after the Committee development due to comments received during the public <br />comment period. He confirmed that the information proposed tonight would be in line with the <br />draft 2040 plan as it states now. He noted that official action is not requested tonight, at the request <br />of the developer, and the public hearing can remain open to take comments on the other parcel in <br />discussion. <br /> <br />Chairperson Bauer moved to the discussion of the other parcel and welcomed the developer to <br />come forward. <br /> <br />Zach Brown, BK Land Development, recognized that there was some concern with the density of <br />the villa product. He explained that there is a big demand for this type of product which would <br />also enhance the golf course community as it would be in demand for empty nesters that would <br />utilize the golf course whereas the single-family homes will most likely appeal to families with <br />young children. He commented that the mix of products would most likely ensure that the <br />development would be constructed and sold quickly rather than taking years to build out. <br /> <br />nd <br />Nick Kunkle, 9041 162 Lane, thanked staff for their kindness and attention when he and his wife <br />shared their concerns regarding this development. He stated that he is here to speak for the <br />wildlife, noting that group was here first. He recognized that development will come but noted <br />that his concern is that as property is developed there should also be thought and balance between <br />development and the wildlife community and greenspace for the animals.
