3. Docket No.PZ-2021-00247 V: The Steadman Apartment Community at The Bridges Variance from
Bridges PUD Z-550-11 Sec. 13.9.D: Right-in/Right-out access only onto 111th St.,Full Access onto 111th St.
Requested. The applicant seeks site plan and design approval and a variance for a new apartment community
consisting of 260 units in 5 buildings. The site is located at the northeast corner of Springmill Road and 111th
Street,on about 12.5 acres. It is zoned The Bridges PUD,Ordinance Z-550-11. Filed by Jim Shinaver and Jon
Dobosiewicz of Nelson&Frankenberger on behalf of Cityscape Residential,LLC.
Petitioner:Jon Dobosiewicz:
• The motion from last month's PC meeting was 4-2,where majority failed. We are here tonight to ask for approval
of this Variance request.
• The City Engineer,Jeremy Kashman is present tonight to answer any questions
Department Report: Alexia Lopez
• The new street within the Bridges development,will connect to 111th Street
• The City Engineer and Planning Staff are both in favor of this roundabout connection
• The roundabout will act as a traffic calming device and help with traffic flow
• Staff recommends to approval of this Variance request
Committee Comments:
Kevin: Mr. Kashman, if this wasn't approved,would the City still construct this roundabout?Jeremy Kashman,City
Engineer: A roundabout would eventually be built here. Our recommended design will work for school buses.It will not
be the smallest roundabout in the City. This would have an 80-ft diameter.Kevin: What is the estimated cost for this
roundabout?Jeremy Kashman: $500k.Kevin: I prefer to have this cost paid by the Developer and not the City.
Josh: Is it accurate to say this roundabout is a safer option than a right-in,right-out?Jeremy Kashman: Left turns are the
most dangerous turns. It will act as a traffic calming device.Vehicles will have to travel slowly between each roundabout
in this area.Josh: If you lived in this apartment complex,where would you exit this development to travel to downtown
Cannel?Jeremy Kashman: Most of the traffic out of this development will travel north.
Brad: What is the diameter of the roundabout at Spring Mill Road and Dorset Blvd?Jeremy Kashman: We were trying
to find the drawings for that one. The issue with this one is the speed. The speeds on Spring Mill Road are faster than
111th Street.
Jeff Hill: I was absent at the last meeting.What are the reasons the two people voted no?Brad: I was one of the no votes,
and the other was Sue,who is not present tonight. I was concerned if there would be enough traffic flow traveling south
out of the Bridges. I didn't see any problem with having a right-in,and right-out.My position on this is evolving.
A Motion made by Rider and seconded by Kirsh to approve PZ-2021-00247 V. Approved 7-0, absent Potasnik,
