RE Proportionate Share of Improvements at Sprague & Barker Generated by Vistas at
Mortungside Heights
Dear Inga
Rich Dahm is finalizing the first phase of the Vistas at Mornmgside Heights and an issue has arisen
regarding improvements required at the intersection of Sprague & Barker A letter was submitted from
Sunburst Engineering to Scott Engelhard, Spokane County Engineering, and yourself on January 6, 2006
which addressed that issue A copy of this letter is attached
This letter specifies that the proportionate share required of the Vistas at Moriungside Heights at
Sprague & Barker is 8 7% when examining traffic volumes anticipated at project completion The
proposed improvement, a roundabout, will create substantially more capacity than that required to
accommodate only the additional traffic from Vistas at Morrungside Heights Total capacity which can
be accommodated with this improvement is 1,889 peak hour vehicles versus the 1,261 anticipated at
build out The proportionate share based on total capacity is 5 8%
The following is an excerpt of the January 6, 2006 letter which specifically addresses the intersection of
Sprague & Barker
"To address the needs of this intersection, it is recommended that the Vistas at Morningside Heights pay
a proportionate share (8 7%) of the improvements to this intersection This payment should be made
after
• Chapman Road is extended from Vistas at Morrungside Heights, OY
• the 200th lot is approved within Vistas at Mornmgside Heights, and,
• when either the level of service has dropped below acceptable standards in the field, or a safety
situation has arisen which can be addressed by changing the traffic control
The need for improvements at this intersections should be checked with the approval of each phase after
Chapman Road is extended, but not more often than once per year "

This morning when I spoke with you, you stated that you are waiting to get direction from Mike
Connelly before preparing a cost estimate for this roundabout When calculating the proportionate share
for the Vistas at Morrungside Heights and as was stated throughout the traffic study, right-of-way costs
should be deducted
Please let me know if you need additional information, and I will supply whatever I have that would be
helpful
Sincerely,
