Ellie,
The 10% grade on the southern end of the "Connector Road" has been revised to about 6% per my previous comments.
I'm unable to decipher the vertical alignment of this portion which is critical to the future southern extension of Eastern
Avenue and ability to connect the Westhall streets. Therefore, I suggest the following condition be added.
Condition of Preliminary Plat Approval
The horizontal and vertical alignment of the final design plans for the "Connector Road ", as depicted on the Foothill
Crossing Preliminary Subdivision Plat" Sheet 7 - revised 02- 21 -12, shall take into account the County's "Eastern Avenue
Conceptual Plan & Profile" (09- 12 -08) and the alignment constraints on the future extension of Eastern Avenue to the
south of this project. These constraints include the relationship and grading impacts to the adjacent Westhall lots, the
future intersection elevations for road extensions /connections from the adjacent Westhall development, and the
vertical alignment through the future Lickinghole Creek bridge. To account for these constraints the vertical curves (VC
#2 through #6) in the "Conceptual Plan & Profile" had to be linked (i.e. tangent = 0) with little tolerance for vertical
changes. The most critical design point was the vertical curve (VC #6) where the Foothill Crossing's "Connector Road"
would connect to the future Eastern Avenue and continue southward.
Thank you. Sincerely,

Dan /Jack,
I am supposed to take an action on this application tomorrow. I plan on granting administrative approval, but with a
fairly long list of conditions. Before I send my letter out I thought I should check with you both to make sure you don't
have any concerns with this project as submitted. Please let me know as soon as you can if there is a condition of
approval you would like for me to include.
Thanks,
