Planning Commission Case No. 471-97: O'Neil Property March 28, 1997 Page 9 issue. It is anticipated that the amount of traffic will not trigger total responsibility for reconstructing this roadway. The City's current policy for dealing with road reconstruction is to assign approximately 50% of the cost for road reconstruction to the adj cent property owners. The remainder is usually paid from State MSA dollars. The O'Neil property would be assessed based on the frontage on County Road H2. This assessment would be combined with assessments from other property owners abutting the roadway. If the reconstruction were undertaken with development of this project, it would accelerate when the assessments on the O'Neil property and other abutting properties were made. Accelerating the project would also depend on the availability of MSA dollars. Public Works staff has been asked to look at what it would take to schedule the project sooner. We hope to have more information for the Planning Commission by your meeting. Sidewalks on Highway 10, County Road H2; Walkway around Wetland: Staff would recommend that walkways be built by the developer from the Long Lake Rd/Hwy 10 intersection, and from the County Rd H2/Hwy 10 intersection to this site if agreements can be reached with Donatelle's, to people can go to the theater or to work on foot, if they so desire. There has also been discussion with the applicant regarding a walkway system around the wetland which would • link to Silver Lake Park. There were a number of comments about pedestrian safety, especially on County Road H2 at night, if there is more traffic from the theaters. Staff would suggest that Planning Commission discuss with the applicant construction of a sidewalk along County Road H2 on the south side as an improvement needed with this development. • Signage We do not have a signage proposal as part of this submittal. Commissioner Miller asked that we get more information on signage for your meeting on April 2. Signage would usually be addre---: • :..- : -- • - .. - - . .. stage. S affwouId recommend-a--coordinated-s' program be required for this development and be submitted at that time. • Size of Theater Complex The question has been raised whether the theater could be reduced from 16 screens to a lesser number. The applicant has indicated that their marketing plans call for 16 screens. They do not intend to build theaters smaller than this size in this market. • Concerns from Schools The Planning Commission requested that staff contact the schools in the community to ask if they have any concerns about the theater proposal. I am working on setting up appointments with the • principals from Irondale, Edgewood, Sunnyside and Pinewood. I hope to talk with them before your meeting on April 2.
