Hodgson/CR J Master Plan page 34 The quantity of development of the area will be limited to ensure that traffic generation does not exceed the capacities of Hodgson Road, the intersection with Co Rd J, or the new access. Development shall not create the need for a traffic signal at the new full access on Hodgson Road. o Planning for the area must look forward to full development of the study area so as not to allow one project to “use up capacity” so that other sites cannot develop without creating the need for a signal at the new access. Right of way will be dedicated with development to ensure adequate right of way for Hodgson and CR J as well as for the internal circulation system, as necessary. The offset of Ware Road and Mackubin Street should be addressed by realignment of Ware Road to form a four-way intersection. Trails, Open Space A trail connection, included as an ‘enhancement corridor’ in the Parks, Natural Open Space/Greenways and Trail System Plan, will be established across the study area. This will link to the existing trail connection to Woodridge Lane on the west, cross through the study area, and link to a future trail in Ware Road. The specific alignment of this trail corridor across the Master Plan area will be determined as development occurs. An, open, focal point green space is to be created where the Woodridge Lane trail connection enters the study area. The specific design of this focal point will be reviewed with any development application for the site. A trail should be constructed along Hodgson Road in accordance with the City’s parks and trails plan. This could be accomplished with sidewalks in the study area. The wetland complex in the northeast part of the study area, shown as ‘natural resource protected area’ and ‘natural resource conservation area’ in the Parks Plan, should be protected as open space to the degree possible. Detailed information submitted with development proposals will be examined to determine the possibilities for these areas. Greenspace buffering is an important design element for new development along the border with existing neighborhoods such as Woodridge Estates and Rohavic Oaks. Municipal Utilities All new development must have sanitary sewer and water service. Possible exceptions prior to the availability of utilities include renovation of existing structures if the building EXCERPT, Hodgson Road & CRJ Master Plan Approved February, 2007
