Josh and Bill,
Attached is a revised preliminary plat per ACHDs approval of the road connection to Montague.
We have reviewed the staff report and have the following comments:
1. 1.1.1.d. – Typically street buffer construction is required with development of that portion of the project. The
first phase of development will be the commercial portion of the project; the commercial frontage of Amity and
Eagle Roads will be constructed in the first phase. S. Montague Way is existing. The east side of S. Montague
Way is between 500 -950’ away from the first phase of construction. We request that the landscape buffer on
the east side of S. Montague Way be constructed with development of Parcels A and B, respectfully, as stated in
1.1.1e.
2. 1.1.1.f – The project provides a public courtyard plaza at the corner by the Eagle/Amity roundabout. We are
also proposing a natural pathway amenity in the open space around the commercial lots 6, 7, 8 and 9.
3. 1.1.1.g – same comment as 1.1.1.f. above.
4. 1.1.1.h. – Lots 6-9 are proposed as a C-C zone. The L-O zone is too limiting, we request the C-C zone for this
property.
5. 1.1.1.j. – Parcel B is proposed as R-8. Our pre-application meeting with City staff recommended R-8.
6. 1.1.1.l. – The two local streets are proposed to be constructed with the first phase. We request a waiver from
council for two (one on Amity and one on Eagle Road) right-in/right-outs from parcel 2. These two direct access
points are important as they alleviate the local roads allowing a more convenient access along Amity and Eagle
roads. Limiting access to a single point off of Eagle, with only a left turn into the shopping center, will cause
congestion that would be alleviated by the RIRO. Our traffic study supports the direct access and ultimately
more convenient access will help attract a better class of tenant and use.
7. 1.1.1.m. – same comment as 1.1.1.l. above
8. 1.1.2.a. – same comment as 1.1.1.d above.
We have reviewed Josh’s memorandum dated December 8th and have the following comments:
1. The last bullet on the first page should state the pool is located adjacent to Zaldia/Burgo , not Mr. Etna.
2. The previous Parcel A and B naming designations are appropriate given the attached parcel map.
Thank you, we look forward to tonight’s P&Z hearing.
Tamara
**We wish you a very Happy Holiday season and a peaceful and prosperous New Year. **
