Dear Craig, ~ ~ :. '. .
Thank you for meeting with us earlier today to discuss the Mussell Comer PFP and PD
applications with Fsic Peterson of Cole Poe Architects and Brafl Hawkins-Clazk of your
office, We have revised the plat, landscape plan'and site plan in ,accordance with the
ACHD deeds that were recorded in 1999, which resulted in ACRD; acquiring 48 feet of
right-of--way measured from the centerline of Victory Road. `
Fortunately, t~CHD. does not intend to cbnstnlct Victory Road as a major arterial.
roadway aad only 70 ft, of right-of-way is required for the build-out of the road (instead
of 96 feet of right-of--way). ACRD is onl}~ requiring the consuvction ~of half of a 46-foot .
street section within the existing '48' right-of-way, consequently there is room for
landscaping to be constructed within ACHD's 'right-oF way behind the detached sidewalk
and between the curb and std@walk along Victory.As wE discussed with Lori Den-Henbg
from ACHD, a license agreement will be required for the landscaping within tberight-of-
way, and the vegetation may be limited to groundcover with no,trees. Without this
landscaping the land in•front of the existing buildings would not be able to be landscaped''
or else the parking would have to • be eliminated.• The landscaping within ACf1;D's
property will come close to providing the minimum required landscaping buffer in front
of the existing buildings adjacent to Victory.
The "pond"'amenity, or the existing pond will be left in its current state within the
nursery for the time being. As the propeity're-develops the pond will be retained and
protected as an amenity and will be incorporated into fiitun: development.
After our meeting I stopped by Joe Silva's office to discuss the need for a turnaround that ,
maybe required because of the ACHD requirement to close one of the access points
along Victory Road. Joe. stated that if we can connect the .proposed gas station to the
existing commercial use in a manner that would provide a secorida[y route of access in
and out, ~a new turnaround would not be required.. We have', revised to plat to
accommodate the additional cross access.

The revised plat still indicates the use o£ the ntirthemmiost existing access to SH=69 skis -
access is used by ~NMID £or ditch maintenaacc and by the existing retail stone business (a -
parr of Victory Greens). The proposed subdivision does not yet include the development
of a Irontage/backage road to the existing access. We ask that we be allowed to continue - -
touse the access,. ut additionto the new access located in the midpoint of the subdivision,
until northernmost got of the subdivision is re-developed..: .
