Water: Water is currently p~o"ided to this ,site
through.,..an 18" waterline, along the. East Bypass
frontage road anda12"waterline along S.H. 30. Lot
IP currently does not have water service.
Sewer: Sewer is currently provided to the 30.8
acre'reserve tract and will have to be extended' to serve
both Lot 1 and IP.Sewer will also have to be extended
to Lot 2.
Streets: The plat is bounded by S.H. 30 and
the East Bypass frontage road. Lot l.has frontage on
the East Bypass, while the 30.8 acre reserve tract and
Lot 2 have frontage on S.H. 30. The plat as shown
dedicates a 50' right-of-way along the existing private
access. to .:gAM'S. They. are proposing to construct a
public alley along this right-of-way to serve Lot 1, Lot,
IP and Lot 2 as well as the adjacent tracts north of
this subdivision.
Drainage: Drail1agefrol11 this area is to the
southwest toward . Carter Creek. Carter Creek bounds
this plat alongthee.ast side.
Flood. Plain: Floodplain is located on all lots
within this' plat.
Oversize Request: Oversize. may bereqllested
on.. the extension of the 18" waterline along .the East
Bypa.ss frontage road.
Proposed Public Improvements: Public
improvements . associated .with this plat include the
extension of sanitary sewer service to Lots 1 , IP and

IMPACT STUDIES
Water: The water impact ',' study shows that the
18" water line along the East Bypass frontage road and
the 12"waterlinealongS .H.30are sufficient to
accommodate the development within this ,. plat area.
An internal, loop connecting the 18"and 12" is
rec.ommended' within .the.impact study.... Staff is
currently . working with the applicant on sizing and
phasing of this internal line.
Sewer: The sewer.. impact study shows.. that
sewer is currently available tosetve this development
through a 21" sewer line located along Carter's Creek.
There is the potential that as the Burton Creek area
develops.,talong University. Drive} sewer. problems', rn~y
occur on these tracts due to an overload in the 21 "
line. The impact study suggests.that a temporary
detention. tank. may be.' required .tooff-peak unload
sewer from these lots if this case arises.
Traffic: Development of the 65.61 acre site, in
accordan'ce with the assumptions made in the report,
would impact trafficol1SH-30 and the SH-6 frontage
roads causing evening peak-hour congestion. However,
it should be. noted that.the . report assumes a,.. worst
case .scenario for the site from a traffic generation
standpoint.
The report notes that the SH~30/East. Frontage. Road
interSy~t~on~i!I,l)e.~ffected .., most by <deyelC?pmentof
thissi~e"~ 'but' tfi'af~the conversion of the frontage roads
from two to one- way will increase the capacity of the
intersection and thus offset some of the additional
traffic igenerated from the 65 .61 aCre tract.
It further suggests minimal traffic impacts from the
Movie~ 12 Tract '. (the study assumes 16 screens) since
peak hour traffic conditions from this site will occur
after the typical weekday. evening peak hour or during
weekends. Traffic impacts from the 18.5 acre NCNB
tract ,\Vould ,.beconsiderable. .if ..itis.,developed.,..,as ,.a
commercial-retail. . The report notes that there would
notb~.. sufficient roadway capacity to accommodate
traffic:.from..this......slte~ In fact, . it., indicates that "a large
traffic. generating use could necessitate the need for a
V-turn lane connecting the East and West Frontage
Roads.
Development of the east tract as a low intensity use
such as parkland will have virtually no impact on
traffic in the area.
\,
The following improvements are recommended to
accommodate the traffic generated from the 65 .61 acre
tract:
1.) A deceleration lane off of the E. Frontage Road
for the Movie 12 tr'act;
2. ) Improvements to the commercial alley
connecting SH-30 to the rear of
the Movie 12 tract including:
Widening the alley at it's intersection with SH,-30
to provide for separateleftandrtght tum lanes
exiting the alley; and,
Removingthe""dip",in the alley immediately
north of Harvey Road;
Stafftsingeneral.agreement with the findings and
recommendations of . the report but asked '. that
additional.trafficcounts and study be ,done to ensure
the validity of the assumption. that th.e peak. hour on
the weekend is not as intensive as that ofa typical
weekday evening . peak hour.
Drainage: " The, impact study shows . that these
tracts will discharge into Carter Creek and have little
effect upon the drainagefacilitiesforS.H.30. Portions
of the drainage that now crosses the SAM's tract will
be ..re~outed " to. flow directly intoSarterCreek.. " , Some
improvements";"Will';"need".,...to ..f be' ""madel"" to ",the: "'.existing
drainage facilities associated with the alleyatS.H. 30.
Staff is currently working ,with the applicant on
verification that detention will not be required for the
site and there will be no adverse impacts on the
drainage facilities alongS.H. 30.
