Appendix A <br />Breakdown of Plan A1.1- Oakleigh Meadows <br />Concerns with the plan as presented in design A1.1: <br />• Street traffic <br />o Currently there are 17 homes on Oakleigh Lane. More than doubling the number of homes <br />(current proposal is 28) will result in a significant increase in traffic volume. <br />• Oakleigh Lane - River Road intersection congestion <br />o As it stands today, during peak traffic hours there are occasional lines to get from Oakleigh Lane <br />onto River Road as well as from River Road onto Oakleigh Lane or into the Burrito Boy/River Road <br />Second Hand parking lot. These lines can extend up to three cars or more ...resulting in <br />significant hazards to car, bicycle and pedestrian traffic. <br />• Parking <br />o The majority of current homes on Oakleigh Lane do.not have garages. and limited on-property <br />parking resulting in the need utilize street parking. With the addition of 28 homes with only 47 <br />planned parking spaces the probability of overflow parking onto the Lane is high. Note that on <br />the CIVIC website it is suggested that the handful of garages can be used as storage units for <br />those who are willing to purchase them. This would further reduce the available parking on the <br />development site. <br />• Emergency traffic <br />o With the on-street parking situation as it stands today, Oakleigh Lane is essentially a one-lane <br />road in several areas where cars are parked directly across the lane from each other. With even. <br />one vehicle parked on the lane, neighbors yield to allow oncoming traffic right of way. In this <br />multi-parked car scenario, there is barely room for passenger vehicles to pass, but could <br />potentially prevent emergency vehicle access. <br />• Pedestrian traffic <br />o There are no sidewalks on the Lane. All foot and bicycle traffic use the street. With vehicles <br />parked on the street this results in pedestrian traffic using the middle of the lane. The significant <br />increase of housing and resulting vehicle traffic would create a significant hazard to this <br />pedestrian and bicycle traffic. <br />0 Property cost <br />o As stated on the OMC website, the proposed cost for each new condo is $200,000-$300,000. <br />This is inconsistent in that it is more than double the current value of the homes on Oakleigh <br />Lane as well as it diverging from the original plan of an affordable cohousing community. <br />• Utility access plan <br />0 How will utilities access the new development? <br />
