RE: Bellabrook Multi-family/CUP07-005

Dear Anna,
It has come to my attention that the proposed Bellabrook staff report was not updated from the
original subdivision configuration to reflect the current conditional use application. The infonnation
below is pertinent to the 2007 application.
. The trip generation for the current proposal is 238 vehicle trips per day. The original single
family subdivision was estimated to generate 200 vehicle trips per day.
. Locust Grove Road was widened in 2005 to a 5-1ane roadway. On 9-14-2005 there was a
traffic count of 1,796 daily vehicle trips, indicating a Level of Service better than "C". A
Level of Service "0" for a 5 lane minor arterial is 33,000 daily vehicle trips, and 35,000 daily
vehicle trips for a Level of Service "E".
. The offset between the proposed private street entrance for the project and the 50-foot wide
flag lot to the south is 290-feet. This offset meets District policy. (As noted in public
testimony, several of the access points on this segment of Locust Grove Road were
established based on right-of.way negotiations and put in place to avoid lengthy and costly
condemnation proceedings.)
. Conditions of approval as listed in the 2006 Bellabrook Subdivision staff report remain the
same with respect to Locust Grove Road. Because the applicant is now proposing private
streets, and this is not a subdivision application. conditions related to street widths and
locations are not applicable.
I apologize if this has caused any confusion.
Sincerely,
(via e-mail)
