Planning Commission Meeting Minutes September 08, 2022 Page 3 of 13 land and planned for it to be part of the dedication. The ordinance does suggest that it needs to be within the development. A question was asked about net public land dedication (PLD). The minimum PLD is 37 acres. The gross PLD is 137.3 acres (89.9 acres within the boundaries and 47.4 acres outside the boundaries). The net PLD is 116.7 acres (69.3 acres within the boundaries and 47.4 acres outside the boundaries). He provides additional information on traffic analysis. The Single Occupancy Vehicle (SOV) assumption of 12% of the traveling population is a conservative estimate. The following are traffic distribution assumptions proposed from the applicant's traffic engineer and reviewed by City staff: 60% of Highway 36, 15% of Northwest Parkway, 15% of 96th St, and 10% of other. He mentions that the difference between the traffic study from last year and this year is that there is less square footage proposed to be built. Knowing that, one would think that the traffic would decrease, however, the traffic engineers modeled a hospital campus and medical offices. Those uses have higher traffic demands. The average weekday trips would be 20,745 (an increase of 641 trips). The AM peak hour trips would be 1,926 (an increase of three trips). The PM peak hour trips would be 2,176 (an increase of 166 trips). The applicant updated the traffic study to include a queuing analysis. The applicant's traffic engineer found there is adequate vehicle stacking capacity. Discussing the final grading plan, last month's packet included the storm water drainage and grading plan. He reviews the cut/fill expectations in the phases with road construction and over -lot grading. The PUD stage will also include the final grading plan. Moline refers to one of the grading images and asks if it is fair to say that the places that are not in the green or red will not be graded? Zuccaro says this image is just for the first phase. At the PUD stage, there will be a more precise grading plan. The green or red areas should still have grading. This image does not show all the areas needed to be graded. Krantz says the grading table mentions there will be a 250,000 cubic yard net export of soil. Is that correct? Zuccaro says based on that cut/fill, that is correct. He concludes his presentation by mentioning that there has been certification provided for the mineral rights notification and discusses the sustainability commitments. At a subdivision plat stage, it is not typical to look at the sustainability standards. That is very much a part of the GDP process. The 2010 GDP does not have a similar requirement other than a Transportation Demand Management (TDM) plan requirement. Commissioner Questions of Staff. - Krantz asks what the goals are in the transportation demand management plan and if it can be included with the transportation master plan. Zuccaro says in staff's view, what is important is what has been committed to in the plan itself. Whatever percentage it ends up being in reality is only as good as the resources being put into it. Things staff have talked about with the applicant are RTD Eco-passes for the entire development. There is no RTD service right now so having
