verses the proposed 12' drives. Both homeowners would like to limit the destruction of foliage a~ it acts as a visual and audio screen from the traffic on Lexington, . 3, The last concern was multiple access could be confusing and dangerous to intersections at Victoria and Amble, Referring to the previous concern of the dynamics of entering and exiting: entering the properties would be to the existing access and would be no more confusing than is the present situation. The exiting of a vehicle would be the responsibility of the driver existing in a careful, prudent manner no different than the present situation. The safety factor is allowing the traffic turning in to be unrestricted by exiting traffic thereby requiring them to stop on Lexington before having the turning radius to enter safely. The proposed reconstruction of Lexington does not allow traffic to cross over from the north bound because an island will restrict a left turn into the entrance of the properties. Thereby this will not effect the traffic coming south on Lexington including the traffic coming off Amble. The reverse is true for the intersection at Victoria as the island restricts a left turn out of the proposed exits effecting the traffic coming north or off of Victoria. It will not effect the traffic moving south off Victoria as a traffic light is being proposed for that intersection. Northbound traffic turning onto Amble will not be confused because traffic is restricted from turning into the proposed accesses because of the proposed island. A left turn is not possible. People looking to turn onto Amble will not be confused because they will see the street sign, turn and not pass either of the three accesses as they are south of . the Amble turn. In conclusion, the homeowners feel that their proposal is the best use possible for both of the properties. They also feel that when they were approached by the county concerning the road improvements, they discussed this proposal with the county and the county directed them to petition the city for the accesses, Their only concern was that the accesses were at least 60' apart. We do not believe they would have made this suggestion if they felt the proposal was not a safe one and in the best interest of the homeowners and the public. We respectfully resubmit to you our proposal and apologize that we were not as prepared for your concerns at the last meeting. We respect your time and consideration, R:JJk Roger and Beverly Sabot ~/;~ ? .
