8 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. As noted, a traffic analysis was completed for the development. Peak trip generation from the proposed development is approximately 1/3 of the trip generation provided for in the Master Plan. No signal is proposed at the new full 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 preliminary plat dedicates additional right-of-way ranging from 27 feet to 45 feet along CSAH 49 (Hodgson Road) creating 60 feet to 75 feet of dedicated right-of-way from section line and/or roadway centerline. The preliminary plat also dedicates an additional 10-17 feet of right-of-way along CR J (Ash Street) to provide a full 60 feet from section line. The internal public road is dedicated with 60 feet of right-of-way. Overall, the proposed development is consistent with the Transportation and Access goals of the Master Plan. 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. The Lyngblomsten site plan includes a 9 foot wide concrete walk that extends from the existing Woodridge Lane trail to the private road then tapering to a 5 foot wide walk to the club house to the internal public road and sidewalk. This trail connection has been revised to a full 9 foot wide trail within a 20 foot wide corridor easement. The section of sidewalk along the internal public road has also been revised to 9 feet and connects to Hodgson Road. The 20 foot wide trail corridor shall be outside of Lot 13 and Lot 14, not just the house pad. • 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. The original site plan included a community garden and lilac trees adjacent to the wetland that created an open, focal point green space in this location. Due to the need for additional storm
