I agree with the requirements of the study and David's email. I agree that it would be difficult to assume a growth rate on this roadway considering how quickly the traffic reached the original design volumes If we will exclude the mainline traffic projections in the analysis, will it be assumed in the analysis that there is no growth rate of traffic on 146th Street and that existing conditions will be used? My expectation would be then that the peak traffic from full build out of this site must be used in the analysis, even if this is not expected to occur for some time. Please verify if this is the case. We assume that the traffic analysis will include the proposed Gray Road intersection and indicate its effect on the level of service of the 146th Street/Gray Road intersection as requested by Robb Chadwell of the Hamilton County Highway Department at the TAC meeting.

The major change is the resolution, the attachment, passed by the Board of Commissioners. We worked with you to find what we felt was the best solution, however, it was never permitted. Since no approvals were given at that time, it must now go to the Board of Commissioners for any approvals. 1 !.N ~L The traffic study must include the updated uses. The attachment includes the requirements of the study and A&F has worked with us on similar studies, so they should not be totally in the dark. As for the forecasts, our main concern is with a large development, such as a multi-section subdivision, that could take many years to complete. I do not have a problem excluding the 5 & 10 year projections. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me at any time. Sincerely, David E.

We previously did a traffic study for the project in August 2007. At that time, the proposal including 18,000 sf of retail along with 60,000 sf of office and a bank outlot. The current proposal in for 75,000 sf of office plus a bank outlot. It has been requested during the TAC process that we provide an updated traffic study. I want to make sure I understand the scope of this update. We would propose that we provide a traffic operation analysis that would update traffic counts and analyze existing traffic along with traffic from our development. During the last process, we identified that we would only have limited access on 146th Street with a full access on Gray and determined the location of these access points, which I believe was agreeable to both the County and City. Therefore, we will not need the extensive access analysis presented previously. Also, our traffic engineer (A&F) does not believe the 10-year forecast holds much validity given that the 146th/Gray intersection is built out, the area is fairly well developed and right now with the economy, no one can predict what a valid growth rate would be. Therefore, we would propose not to include these forecasts in the update. Can you let me know if you agree with the plan above and, if not, what additional information you would like to see? Thank you.

We have listed Billy Price as the owner and we submitted his consent for us W file the petition. He is still the owner and we just have an option on the property and would close following the rezoning. I understand Darren just inserted our names into [he old letter but I am afraid that it will appear HV has been non-responsive if the letter as drafted is par[ of [he tile. We were just informed of the issue this week and as I mentioned we will get it secured ASAP to avoid any entrance into the property. I do understand all the issues with the structure and we will try to work with the property owner [o get it remedied right away. I understand that it will reflect on us whether we like it or not given our current rezone petition. Billy Price lives most of the time in the Canadian country in a very remote fishing location. We do not even have a direct mrmhcr for him. We have to contact an outpost that he checks in with every so often. So, we will do our best to get in touch with him but it often takes some time to hear back. Thanks again. See you soon.

The deadline dates were the old expiration dates sent to the original property owner, I think. Also, your plans submitted for the rezone states that you (hearthview) are/is the property owner of the site, and that is why we thought to send you the violation letter next, since Darren was not having much luck with the first property owner. Are you on contract to own/buy the land if the rezone is approved? Thanks for making every effort to make this house secure, and please keep us updated.

As Darren mentions, we are not the property owner so while we are willing to secure it to make sure people cannot enter we should not be responsible to raze the stnuture as required in the letter. We will work to contact the property owner to inform them. Again, I just ask that since we are not the owner of the property we are not vilified for the condition of the house on it. However, we will do our best to get it secure ASAP. I was told it would happen this week but will confirm when that is done. I will keep you posted on communication with the property owner Thanks for forwarding to me!
