RE:' Mussell Corner Subdivision and Planned Development Applications .
Dear Craig, - ..... __ _ .
" Thank you for meeting with us earlier today to discuss the Mussell Corner PFP-and PD
applications with Eric Peterson of Cole Poe Architects and Brad Hawkins-Clark of your
office. We have revised the plat, landscape plan and site plan in accordance with the.
ACRD deeds that were recorded in 1999, which resulted in ACIID, acquiring 48 feet of
right-of--way measured from the centerline of Victory Road.'
Fortunately, ACHD. does not intend to constnlct Victory Road' as a major arterial .
roadway and 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 construction-of half of a 46-foot .
street section within the existing '48' right-of--way, consequently there is zoom for
landscaping to be constructed within ACHD's right-of--way behind the detached sidewalk
and between the curb and sidewalk along Victoryr~As we discussed with Lori Den-Heltog
from ACRD, a license agreement will be required for the landscaping within theright-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 ACfID's
property will come close to providing the minunum required landscapiug buffer in front ~ .
• of the existing buildings adjacent ro Victory. :'
The "pond"; amenity, or the existing pond will be left in its current state within the
nursery for the time being: As the property're-develops the pond will be retained and
protected as an amenity and will be incorporated into fiiture development.
After our meeting I stopped by Joe Silva's office to discuss the needfor a tumazound that ,
maybe required because of the ACHD requirement to close one Hof 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 secondary route of access in
and out, 'a new tumaraund would not be required. ,We have; revised to plat to .
accommodate the additional cross access.

The revised plat still indicates the use of the northezlutiost existing access to SH=691bis - -
access is used by NMID for ditch maintenance and by the existing retail stone business (a
pazt of Victory Greens). The proposed subdivision does not yet include the development
of a frontage/backage road to the existing access. We ask that we be allowed to continue -
to use the access,, in additionto the new access located in the midpoint of the subdivision, --
until northernmost iot of the subdivision is re-developed.. ~ •
