This memo serves to address the remaining items highlighted by Simon from the TIS Scoping
letter provided by the COB on October 28, 2025:
2. Evaluation of the Mall's private access road with the proposed carwash site access intersection
is required. This intersection should be analyzed as a four-leg intersection and a determination
should be made regarding the appropriate intersection control based on estimated volumes
traveling through the intersection.
The proposed car wash site access has been evaluated in the context of the existing access
road serving the mall. The intersection with the mal!'s access drive and Petco/Whole Foods
currently has a stop sign at the minor approach (Petco/Whole Foods).
To maintain consistency and ensure efficient traffic flow, the car wash access has been
revised to include a stop sign, mirroring the existing contro!on the opposite le�
Implementing an all-way stop at this location would unnecessarily impede traffic entering
from Huffine Lane and could lead to gueuing or congestion on the main thoroughfare.
A two-way stop control at the car wash access is expected to provide safe and efficient
overations, allowing vehicles to enter and exit the site while preserving the flow of traffic
along Huffine and within the mall property.

Plan � Maierle
REF #27 Please provide clarification on the following items regarding the Queuing analysis
Report:
The analysis states that a traffic impact study (TIS) was already completed for the development.
Please submit the previously prepared TIS for review. An analysis of the intersection of the
proposed site access with the mall access route and access in front of Petco is of interest to
assess the appropriate intersection control.
The queuing analysis report was incorrect as upon further research by the COB a TIS was
done for Whole Foods and the Gallatin Valley Mal!Expansion, neither of which included
the car wash property.A ful! TIS was not completed for the car wash at the time of those
developments. See #2 for response to the intersection control item as wel!as attached
revised site plan with stop sign incorporated.
