Lyngblomsten hired SEH to prepare an Intersection Analysis and Alternatives report for the entire CSAH 49 (Hodgson Road) and CR J (Ash Street) intersection. The proposed improvements have been noted above. • 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. 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 final plat dedicates additional right-of-way ranging from 27 ft to 45 ft along CSAH 49 (Hodgson Road) creating 60 ft to 75 ft of dedicated right-of-way from section line and/or roadway centerline. The final plat also dedicates an additional 10-17 ft of right-of-way along CR J (Ash Street) to provide a full 60 ft from section line. The internal public road is dedicated with 60 ft 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 an 8.5 foot wide bituminous trail that extends from the existing Woodridge Lane trail to the private cottage home road then to an 8.5 ft wide trail along the full length of Hodgson Road. The trail corridor originally connected to the clubhouse and between the cottage homes but this has been revised when the clubhouse was omitted. I
