The residents of Creekstone subdivision represented several concerns regarding the pre-approved commercial aspect to their PUD community during the 07/08/2024 Planning Commission public Belowis a summary of voiced concerns and possible solutions.  hearing.  Some residents believe that there should be no entrance or exit from the commercial portion of the development onto Creekstone Lane. The recorded plat for the commercial portion shows road connections with the commercial development at Creekstone Lane and at the roundaboutfor Creekstone Lane. The actual construction on site includes the roadconnections through curb cuts in the same locations. The PUDz zoning ordinance encourages the commercial portion to be adjacent to major thoroughfare withoutresulting in traffic through the residential portion ofthe development. While patrons ofthe commercial portion do have to drive past 3 residences to enter the business area, traffic is notr requiredto go through the overwhelming majority oft the residential portion. Some residents acknowledge that GDOTI is likelynotto allowforanother entrance into the PUD from HWY53. Residents voiced concern about children at play and getting on and off a school bus (bus stop). The bus route currently enters the residential, portion of the development and makes two stops internally before heading back to the roundabout forits 3rd and last stop. There is the pooland  $ M  a    clubhouse parking lot at this same location which likelyserves as a staging area where parents are contnuoustypresent until Residents had a low level of concern regarding an increase of traffic through the neighborhood. AlL business and commercial traffic during and post construction will be limited tot the distance ofCreekside Lane from Hwy 53 to the roundabout. The Public Works Director may be open to consider the existing option ofconnecting to Stegall which all indications confirm a viable option; any dissent on this option from the residents on Stegall may be allayed byproviding road Residents voiced warranted concern over the 55 - 45 mph speed limit as you pass the subdivision entrance from the west on Hwy 53.. Just priorreaching the subdivision entrance there is a road sign indication a speedreduction from 55t to 45. Average traffic speeds likelyare in the 57-50 mph range as vehicles pass the right turn onto Creekside Lane where there is no decel lane. It would be appropriate to request of GDOTthat the speed limit be reduced prior to the subdivision entrance to 35 mph and until such a change may be facilitated perhaps GDOT - would give permission for the City ora developer toi install a flashing. yellow light indicating a congestedintersection  all children are on the bus.  improvements and/orspeed bumps.  during morning and evening travel times.  This is by no means an exhaustive representation of all concerns but instead is intended to present thoughts on some of the more consistently voiced concerns with the commercially zoned portion Itwas impressive that SO many Dawsonville residents thought SO highly of their Creekstone community and desire to play an active  ofthis development.    rolei ino crafting the best possible outcome for the commercial  development.  Please consider that this commercial component, as first approved in2 2004, is intended to add to the quality and character of the existingresidential. component. Any PUD provides small business ownersentrepreneurs the opportunity to live and work within the same community. The PUD also provides for small retail, convenience and mercantile occupancies to serve the integral esi.dentalcomponent therefor offering an occasional opportunity  to walk or ride a bike to a neighborhood business.  The PUD approved in 2004 states through ordinance that the commercial portion of the development shall meet the  requirements and permitted uses or-Neighbornood Business'.The City Council approval stipulates additionally that the commercial component of this specific PUD meet the requirements and permitted uses of "Commercial Highway Business" which translates  per today's ordinance into "Highway Business".  Please consider that the overwhelming majority of the uses permitted in Highway Business are likely not appropriate for the context of this specific commerclalconceptual proposal provided by Chris Sipos at the July gth PC hearing, while the majority of uses permitted in Neighborhood Business are more appropriate. This commercial portion was approved for up to 60,000 sf of spacei in  2004 and Mr. Sipos proposal is for 20,000.  Keep in mind that this hearing was tabled by the PC until 9/09/24  and CC will not vote until their meeting after that.  Anyadditional thoughts, comments or discussion on this subject is  welcome.
