City Council meeting of October 4, 1999 Page 3 TOWNHOMES OF BALD EAGLE (TRAFFIC STUDY) Mr. Dennis Eiler of SRF discussed the study prepared by his firm, SRF Consulting Group, Inc., for the proposed Townhomes of Bald Eagle developer. The developer is still requesting that the City allow private streets in the development. Also, a determination needs to be made by the Council whether 130th Street will continue to connect between Fenway Boulevard and Europa Trail, or this roadway will be disconnected as required in the Development Agreement for Woods of Bald Eagle. Council member Petryk noted that the report did not address what impact the development would have on Ethan Avenue. Mike Black, of Royal Oaks Realty, addressed the Council stating that: Royal Oaks would like to keep 130th Street a cul-de-sac; the traffic study does not necessitate the need for a public road instead of private; the traffic impact to the area was negligible; there is no storm water leaving the site, so there is no need to participate in the trunk fee charge. Mr. Black stated it would be satisfactory to him if the private roads had a 40' right-of-way with common easements. Attorney Snyder felt that the more parties involved in private road maintenance, the more potential for conflict. Stoltzman made motion, Leroux seconded, to table this matter until the meeting of October 18, 1999, to allow time to consider the issues.
