Currently, the wait to get onto RR or get off RR onto Oakleigh can be up to 2 or minutes during peak <br />traffic hours. The increased traffic from the proposed development at the very least would increase the <br />wait times by 1.5 times at the intersection of RR and Oakleigh. It would also add to the hurriedness and <br />difficulty to get onto RR, decreasing safety. <br />EC 9.8320 Tentative Planned Unit Development Approval Criteria- General <br />(5) The PUD provides safe and adequate transportation systems through compliance with <br />the following: <br />(a) EC 9.6800 through EC 9.6875 Standards for Streets, Alleys, and Other Public <br />Ways (not subject to modifications set forth in subsection (11) below). <br />Adding an additional 29 cars to the peak hours will only increase the wait time more and will reduce the <br />safety with regards to getting on and off RR. This will reduce the level of service and the safety <br />significantly. The applicant has not shown that there will be adequate transportation systems off site. <br />The City staff report unfortunately underestimates the effect of the increase in traffic, and the addition of <br />29 units worth of cars to Oakleigh Lane will be more than minimally impact Oakleigh Lane. <br />In summary based on the several articles of evidence and arguments above, the PUD application should <br />be denied. <br />Net Density <br />The following section presents the basis for the net density calculations which are summarized in Table 2 <br />and detailed in the calculation notes in Appendix D. The applicant stated in much of the preliminary <br />outreach and also most recently in follow-up outreach during the public comment period that the <br />maximum allowable density for the project site (TL 400 and TL 5500) is 32 units. This is based on the <br />gross maximum allowable density for the 2.3 acre project site and the R-1 maximum allowable density of <br />14 units/acre. Public easements, access ways used by the public, or right of ways were not removed from <br />the gross acreage to calculate the maximum allowable net density in the PDT application. The applicant <br />has proposed 28 units, but has left out the common house as a unit. The common house is proposed to <br />have a bedroom, a bathroom, and a kitchen and thus is defined as a unit. The total proposed number of <br />units for the OMC project is 29. <br />Excerpts from EC 9.2751 are presented below. <br />9.2751 Special Development Standards for Table 9.2750. <br />• Density. <br />(b) For purposes of this section, "net density" is the number of dwelling <br />units per acre of land in actual residential use and reserved for the <br />exclusive use of the residents in the development, such as common <br />open space or recreation facilities. <br />(c) For purposes of calculating net density. <br />1. The acreage of land considered part of the residential use shall <br />exclude public and private streets and alleys, public parks, and <br />other public facilities. <br />Page 9 of 20 <br />
