Can you add this to the pre-app file for R2568C? Thanks.

I left you a voicemail, but I'm about to head out for the.day. I'll be in the
office tomorrow afternoon, so hopefully we can catch up to discuss this further.
I'm okay with what you've proposed, for now. However, if LEDPA is one of the new
location alternatives, then I believe a quantitative analysis will be warranted.

I just got an email string from James Pflaum regarding R-2568C ICE issues. In them
you mention that after reading the DEIS you requested NCDOT to provide a screening
of the ICE's for each of the Alternatives, and then later say a quantitative
analysis will be necessary for all alternatives.
I briefly read the 2007 ICE and want to make sure I understand your concerns. While
the report does acknowledge some complimentary land development near proposed
intersections, particularly toward Forsyth County, it also cites slow population/job
growth (Dell has since left town), lack of water and sewer, as well as local and
state land use regulations,* to moderate any project stimulated growth. A good
portion of the study area is WSWS IV, and Phase II rules should be in effect for at
least Forsyth County if not some of Davidson County too.
However, I think you are correct to question the water and sewer expansion plans and
while the answer to your question was "No", I think this question warrants some
additional investigation. Further, the 2007 ICE does'not conform to our current
format/expectations and lacks in the cumulative effects discussion, especially
considering completed sections of the project to the south.
I have talked to Steve Gurganus and Tris Ford with HEU and we believe that a
Technical Memo type update, applying our ICE screening matrix to each of the
proposed Alternatives, should provide you withan adequate level of information to
aid your LEDPA decision. Once LEDPA is chosen we can reconvene and determine what
additional study may be needed on the preferred alternative.
Please let me know if you think this is a good approach or if there's something I'm
