Commissioner Balch referenced the existing traffic model, which already accounted for 400 homes, and asked about the current traffic circulation at the intersection of Stoneridge Drive and Stoneridge Mall Road. Mr. Tassano stated the existing traffic conditions at the intersection of Stoneridge Drive and Stoneridge Mall Road are at an acceptable level of service. He referenced the need to make circulation improvements at the intersection of Stoneridge Mall Road and Stoneridge Mall Road and mentioned the future need to assess the circulation and make improvements at both the intersections of Stoneridge Mall Road and Springdale Avenue and Stoneridge Drive and Springdale Avenue. Commissioner Allen asked if the new integrated design would significantly impact circulation versus the previous design layout that separated the residential from the commercial. Mr. Tassano stated the internal circulation design provides greater pedestrian access, however, either plan represented the same overall impacts, especially as you move further outside the internal circulation. Commissioner Brown stated in regard to Discussion Point 2, he was trying to get on board, but he did not like the wrap-around building design and he questioned the location of the open space. He referenced the design of Building A3 and the green space to the fitness and fitness amenity and stated a similar design could be created for Building Al with the ability to leverage the open space concept but use it to separate the block as opposed to enclosing the open space in the middle. He stated he was open to both concepts but was not ready to state that he preferred one over the other. Commissioner Balch referenced the open space between Building A3 and the fitness center stating he hopes it is in fact open space rather than mis-referencing a bioswale as open space. He questioned access to the fitness center and location of the primary entrance, however, stated conceptually the general layout is conducive for the site. Commissioner Allen expressed the need for Mr. Tassano to be involved as it relates to traffic circulation because she believes this is the most important component in selecting one of the two designs. Regarding massing, she is amenable to staff's recommendations and she inquired if there were other concepts or examples of similar five-story buildings with this many units as a comparison. Commissioner Balch stated he was amenable to the general massing referenced in Discussion Point 3 and mentioned that the option selected is the slightly better choice. Commissioner Ritter discussed the layout and positioning and to Commissioner Allen's point, agreed with her comments around the importance of traffic circulation; he further stated the massing is all-encompassing of that and requested additional articulation on the building design. Commissioner Brown expressed concern with the wrap-around building and the view from Stoneridge Mall Road.
