Minutes Planning Commissior, 2/12/86 many acres are in the open area near Rosewood. Mr. Valentine indicated that there are probably 3.5 acres. Mr. Valentine said they would like to keep the cars in close and reduce the number of cars at the edge of the site in modifying the plan from 4500 spaces to 4000 spaces. The public hearing was opened. No one addressed this item. The public hearing was closed. Commissioner Lindsey discussed the traffic study and asked for clarification of the three turn lanes at Hopyard/Owens. Mr. Callahan explained that this is an interim measure. AT&T plans occupy the structure gradually completing occupancy in 1989, therefore, these interim measures will probably never take place as the permanent improvements (Stoneridge and/or Hacienda interchange) should be installed by that time. He didn't feel that the interim improvements needed to be addressed. Further if the monitoring system for traffic is ever put in place, it will be determined that Hacienda traffic volume is 20% lower than the traffic reports show. Commissioner Michelotti asked if the additional bridge was included with the mitigation of Hopyard Road improvements. Mr. Callahan indicated it was and the slowness of the Hopyard interchange is basically due to the slowness of the administration. Commissioner Michelotti wanted to know if all of the division islands will be removed going northbound on Hopyard where the right turn will be. Mr. Callahan indicated the right-of-way is wide enough to allow four lanes or three lanes and a free right turn lane. Chris Kinzel, TJKM, presented a plan to the Planning Commission showing the interchanges which have been planned. He reviewed the traffic recommendations with regard to this project. He suggested the mitigations be placed as conditions required but not installed until they are necessary based upon short term traffic studies or some means for effective monitoring. There will be 19 intersections on line in the traffic computer in the next two months. Commissioner Lindsey indicated he would like to add a sentence to Conditions No. 8 and 9 which would say "that if in fact this mitigation is required; it is to be considered as an interim measure only." Commissioner Innes then expressed concern with what would happen if the interchange was put in. Mr. Swift stated Conditions 8 and 9 referred to Santa Rita Road interchange. He suggested perhaps that "This mitigation measure be bonded for by the applicant and installed at the time the City Engineer determines it necessary to do so" be added. Commissioner Lindsey indicated he could support that. Commissioner Innes asked how much capacity will be left before - 12 - .-- ___,.
