Via Email January 12, 2017 Mitchell Nelson Town of Severance planning@townofseverance.org RE: Severance High School referral Dear Mr. Nelson, Thank you for the opportunity to review the Concept Plan. The proposal is located outside of the Town s Growth Management Area (GMA), however, it is in close proximity to Windsor s Growth Management area and will likely impact current and future Windsor roadways. The application package mentions extension of Hidden Valley Parkway to WCR 23. Prior Severance referrals for the subdivision near the middle school have mentioned WCR 21 auxiliary lane improvements. However, it appears that impacts to the intersection of WCR 21 and WCR 70 have not been studied. The intersection is at the Windsor Severance GMA boundary and already receives significant traffic from the middle school and adjacent neighborhood as well as through traffic. The intersection should be studied as part of the traffic study with necessary improvements identified and implemented. Please feel free to contact me with any questions.
