MH-3023 <br />June 16.2004 <br />Paces <br />The €^>ptiauits tvish to revise Condition 7A and 7B to add a westbound stop sign at the <br />intersection of the puhtic and private segments of W’oodhUl Avenue, to read as follows: <br />A. Installation ofcasibouml. westbound and northbound stop signs at the int* ction <br />of the public portions of Woodhill Avenue and the private road sor ing the <br />Woodhill Ridge development (Sec Exhibit B). <br />B. Installation of castbuund a mi \\ esiboiuKl ** 1 0 MPI1** speed limit signs on the private <br />access drive at the Club's trest property line and on the Club’s Property. <br />The applicant concurrently requests deletion of Condition 7C so that "Do Sot Enter" signs will <br />no longer be required. <br />Analysis of Request <br />PlanningConunissioncrs are ffikod to review (he detailed discussions from the 1999 application (Exhibits <br />E-1 thru E-S) to get a sense of the concerns and issues regarding use of Woodhill Avenue as an access to <br />Ih j Club. The applicants have not provided much detail as a supporting basis for their current proposal. <br />The Club's letter of request (Exhibit B) suggests that safety of access for Club members is the Club's <br />primary concern. <br />The potential impacts on the Woodhill Avenue neighborhood of allowing this access to be opened was <br />clearly an issue die Council struggled with in 1999. Opening it in a limited fashion was a solution that some <br />residents in the neighborhood felt was iruppiopriate. As of this writing I have rccei' cd two letters of non­ <br />objection to the two-way pr< >posal, and one phone call strongly objecting to expansion of the access use <br />to two-way status. <br />Issues for Consideration <br />Planning Commission should consider the following in order to reach a conclusion: <br />O What are the specific needs that will be met by opening the access to two-way traffic? <br />- What specific problems are currently being experienced? <br />- Are the problems validated by traffic studies, accident counts, or other information? <br />- How will the 2-way roadway specifically solve these problems? <br />Q What will be the impacts on the residents along Woodhill Avenue? <br />- What is the impact of increased traffic? <br />- What is the magnitude of projected traffic? Will it be spread out over long periodi, or <br />be event-related? <br />- W i 11 the projected magnitude and time dismbution o f traflic cause signi ficam safety issues? <br />- Ability of the roadway to accommodate the projected traffic levels <br />- Safety of pedestrians along the roadway
