Q3. Where will the roundabouts be located?

A3. They will be phased in per the traffic study on South Futon Parkway, at Cochran Mill Rd, Rico Rd, and Campbellton Redwine Rd; and in Douglas County at Shell Rd and Hwy 166.

Q4. What percentage of the traffic will go in which direction?

A4.Coming out of the studio at its northern entrance, 80% of the traffic will go north to SF Parkway, then 60% will turn east, 40% will turn left (the studio didn’t include the percentage for continuing north as it was an insignificant amount). The studio indicated 5% would go south on Hutcheson Ferry Rd, with no improvements deemed necessary for that road.

Q5. What is the genesis for the request for additional off-site open space?

A5. The city has discussed preserving farmland in the rural district through its future Agricultural Commons program, so it was thought this would be a way to participate. The off-site open space is not needed now, but may be needed in the future, so it was thought best to include it in the plan.

Q6. What are the conditions for the fire truck? Is it to be dedicated for the movie studio or for use by the city?

A6. Chief Brett answered and said it is intended to be a city-owned ladder truck that can be utilized anywhere in the city. If it is in use at the studio or elsewhere, fire support would be provided through the city’s mutual aid agreements with nearby cities.

Q7. What is the timeline for construction?

A7. The applicant should be in position to submit an engineer plan to get a permit within the next 6 months. Water and sewer should be functioning in about two years.

Q8. Would you clarify the bonding? Who pays for what?

A8. The city doesn’t pay for any infrastructure improvements. The applicant will program these improvements with GDOT and pay a percentage assigned to Kane studio.

Q9. What are the next steps?

A9. The planning commission unanimously voted to recommend approval of the Kane Studio Project Rosebud application with all conditions, except 13 and 19, which are still under review. The city council will consider the recommendations at its June 1 work session. At its June 6 council meeting there will be a public hearing followed by a motion and vote on the Kane Studio Project Rosebud.
