43rd Avenue cannot be allowed unless the Board modifies its October 24" PD approval condition regarding 43rd Avenue access . To that end, the Board of Countv Commissioners , on November 7' . approved the applicant ' s request for the Board to consider modifying the conceptual PD plan and corresponding approval conditions at a public hearing on November 21 , 2000. Since then, the PD project re-hearing has been properly noticed and re-advertized at the applicant ' s expense . Therefore. the Board is now to consider the proposed modifications to the PD conceptual plan and corresponding approval conditions . ANALYSIS : As proposed, the PD conceptual plan changes involve project access modifications and residential "POD E"modifications only . No changes in the maximum number of units , density, open space , buffering, or waivers are proposed. The conceptual PD plan changes now proposed are as follows : • Provide a 43rd Avenue project entrance but restrict that entrance, through design, to prohibit westbound to southbound left-turn movements onto 43rd Avenue . Also, provide a southbound to eastbound left-turn lane on 43rd Avenue for the project entrance . • Provide a full-movement project entrance on 17' Street SW, ±3 ,200 feet east of 43rd Avenue , and provide an entrance on 27" Avenue . • Revise (expand a portion of) residential "POD E", the pod through which the project ' s 17" Street SW entrance will traverse . "POD E" will continue to be limited to a maximum of 100 single-family units . • Via a developer' s agreement with the county , provide for a bridge at 17" Street SW and 43rd Avenue and the paving of ±3 ,200 feet of 171h Street SW from 43rd Avenue to the project' s 17" Street SW entrance . Improvements in Phase I of the project be as follows : a. Build (pave) internal project roadway from the project' s 43'd Avenue entrance to the project' s ITh Street SW entrance, and b . Build bridges over the lateral canal for the project' s 43rd Avenue entrance and at 17' Street SW, and c. Build southbound left-turn lanes at the project ' s 43'd Avenue entrance and at 17th Street SW, and d. Pave 17' Street SW from 43 ' Avenue to the project ' s 17" Street SW entrance (±3 ,200 feet) . Compared to the original proposal, these provisions will improve safety by eliminating a potential left-turn movement onto 43'd Avenue. Also, the proposed changes will accommodate improvements to 17"1 Street SW, and should not detract from the county ' s future ability to reach traffic signal warrants at the intersection of 43rd Avenue and 17" Street SW. Staff, including the Public Works Director, has no objection to the proposed conceptual PD plan changes and corresponding approval condition modifications .
