Participants debated whether a proposed subdivision along the 179th Street corridor meets county traffic concurrency standards, specifically questioning if a failing roadway volume-to-capacity ratio requires development denial even when individual intersections operate acceptably. Opponents also raised infrastructure and safety concerns regarding the development's reliance on a single primary access road for over 300 homes. Consequently, the record was left open for several weeks to allow traffic engineers, legal counsel, and the public to submit further evidence regarding roadway capacity limitations and code interpretation.

What was said
2:04:13 raises a question whether 40th is a local access or is it a neighborhood circulator which is another type of a local access street but it has a slightly higher capacity it's double capacity to a regular local access street and we can submit from our engineers during the open record but the summary on that is that essentially the county typically decides during project review whether to require the road to meet the higher neighbors circulator standard based on the number of trips being generated in the area and I believe the conditions of approval require us to meet that standard for all of our 40th improvements and we're not we're not objecting that we're agreeing to meet that standard but our engineer submitted into the record yesterday a memorandum where he has estimated the number of trips on 40th from all developments that have been approved even the ones that aren't built yet including beers but
2:05:10 it's been approved as well as he's existing dwellings that use 40th as well as the proposed new trips from this subdivision and concluded that it was 1,300 trips total on 40th now that's less than 1,500 which is the design volume for a local access street and and therefore our analysis is even if we apply 40 350 0 0 3 0 b 4 b 4 a to 40th it's gonna meet the standard because it's a secondary access it's not primary access we have a primary access that goes up to 174th so we have two accesses 40th is the second access and it's gonna function at least as good as an urban local access road because it's going to have 1,300 trips which is less than the maximum allowed on that road of 1,500 and
2:06:06 so we believe that that code section is met with respect to 40th and that once any fourth it doesn't apply to one 74th and so for those reasons we believe the the application should be approved and we we welcome an extended open record period due to the number of you know issues and late exhibits that have been filed and I believe that mr. Tellegen wanted 15 days from the day he gets the final concurrency memo from the county we have no objection to that when the time comes for setting an open record period and it sounds like you're gonna be on vacation so we've got we've got plenty of time to get stuff in before you
