II. Summary of Questions/Comments and Responses:

Attendees expressed concerns with traffic and the extension of Northbend Drive to Sir Anthony. It was explained that the extension of Northbend Drive is a city subdivision requirement. Five (5) intersections were studied as part of the Traffic Impact Analysis for this site. The recommended improvements from the traffic study will be incorporated into the conditional plan. The Petitioner is waiting for comments from CDOT but does not anticipate any additional requirements. This development will provide shuttle service from the complex to the University to help mitigate traffic concerns.

One attendee asked if a monument sign could be provided at the entrance of the Julius Neighborhood. The Petitioner will work with the neighbors to fund the installation of a sign at the entrance.
Attendees inquired about sewer capacity and the possibility to extend down Sir Anthony. Eddie Moore explained that the site currently has sewer and water capacity. The Petitioner will continue to work with the neighbors to provide contact information for CMUD to see if an extension is possible.
One attendee inquired about the lighting along the Service Road to Sir Anthony Dr. The Petitioner modified the plan to add a note agreeing to provide pedestrian scale lighting along US 29 Service Road.
Residents asked if it would be possible to bring internet connectivity to the neighboring community. This development will have high speed internet service.
