RE: Cantrell Heights Application
Dear Monte,
As noted in our conversation March 25th and email of the same date, Cantrell Heights
proposes several revisions to the previously submitted Land Use and Zoning applications.
Some of those revisions reflect recommendations made in the Peters and Associates traffic
study report. That report has been provided to you, Brian Minyard and Bill Henry.
For clarity, I'll categorize the proposed revisions, and some voluntarily proposed
conditions, as "on-site" and "off-site". The site as used here is the area of the application.
On-site:
■ Reduced the area of C-3 zoning requested to 2.7 acres
• Request an OS -zoned area between the proposed C-3 and the R-2 areas to the west
• Request the balance of the 5.65 acre site, 2.86 acres, be re -zoned from R-2 to OS
• Double the number of plantings over required in the west -side landscape buffer
• Direct site lighting downward & inward unless otherwise required by City
• Paint or use building materials colored to blend with the foliage & vegetation
■ Remove liquor store to accommodate changes to drives and traffic -signal access
Off-site:
Extend the bi-directional turn lane of Highway Ten to serve the site & Reservoir Park
Limit western -most entry -drive to right -in & right -out
Reconfigure the north leg of the intersection of Highway Ten and Andover Court
We look forward presenting the revised application to the Planning Commission April 41h.
Sincerely,
f

Monte,
Please see the attached letter. I understand that there will be a Planning Staff discussion Monday that will
include the referenced application. Perhaps you could give me a call afterward to advise of any additional
comments, or questions, that Planning Staff might have.
Best regards,
Jeff Yates

Subject: FW: P1612 - Cantrell Heights Traffic Study - 3-19-13
Monte,
Attached is the traffic study report we discussed today. Please note that I got this report Tuesday and the
revised survey on Thursday of last week. Ernie Peters has reviewed this report with Bill Henry. I'm told Bill
Henry had no objections to the study report or Peters & Associates' recommendations except to note that a 300'
spacing between driveways should be maintained. But I won't speak for Bill. He can give you his comments
himself. I've copied him on this email so that he has a copy for his files and so that you know he got it and he
knows you got it.
I will have a summary letter coming to you this week that outlines the proposed revisions to the applications for
Land Use and Zoning changes. As noted, key elements are a reduction of the proposed area of C-3, a request
for zoning of the remaining area to be changed from R-2 to OS, and the addition of a request for an area along
the west boundary to be zoned OS instead of the original request of C-3
I don't know that Brian Minyard will want a copy of the traffic study report but I have copied him on this email
just in case.
Please note in the Commissioners package that we've made revisions to our proposal. In our opinion, in the
aggregate the revisions are substantial. They meet all or nearly all of the concerns raised by the neighbors.
Thank you,
Jeff Yates
