The reasons for deniaJ were as follows: 1. The lack of detail plans and the engineering necessary to show exactly what the dynamics of the access are going to be, The owners have the opportunity to work this out between the City and the County Engineers and come up with a better engineered plan than submitted. 2. The shared access was a condition of approval for the original development of the site and other conditions of approval, which was the turnaround was not met, so therefore, the Commission did not know how the site functions if that condition was in place. 3. Multiple accesses to the property and the proximity to the Victoria and Amble intersection would be more confusing and dangerous to traffic on Lexington Avenue and to the occupants, The applicants have reviewed the Planning Commission's direction and have attempted to answer some of the Planning Commission's previous questions. Attachments 5A-2 and 5A-3 include additional information that was submitted by the applicants.
