<br />May 2, 1996 <br /> <br />RE: <br /> <br />Mike Falk, City Planner . <br /> <br />~l/'rJI ,// <br />Jay Kennedy, Assistant Director of Public Works I( 41---- <br /> <br />PROPOSED KATH CONVENIENCE STORE SERVICE STATION <br /> <br />To: <br /> <br />From: <br /> <br />The Engineering Department has reviewed the above mentioned project. The following is a list of <br />concerns: <br /> <br />1. Concern was raised regarding the upcoming Lexington Avenue mill and overlay project. <br />The concern centered around whether additional turn-lanes would be added at the <br />intersection of Lexington Avenue and Roselawn Avenue. It has been confirmed that no <br />additional turn-lanes will be added as part of the upcoming project. <br /> <br />2. Ultimate plans call for a 99-foot corridor for Lexington Avenue. The developer should <br />grant the City an additional 16.5-foot easement along the west property line. <br /> <br />3. The traffic study performed by SEH indicates that the service station would produce <br />approximately 1,650 trips per day. This would be a large increase over the number of <br />trips generated by the existing service station. It is anticipated that this would cause <br />additional congestion on both Lexington Avenue and Roselawn Avenue due to the <br />increased turning movements into and out of the service station. <br /> <br />4. I question the need for two accesses 65 feet apart on Lexington Avenue. The two <br />accesses could be combined into one larger access. Note in this case that the maximum <br />driveway width is 36 feet. <br /> <br />5. The plans show only a 6" watermain serving the entire site. It is assumed that the store, <br />car wash, and sprinkler system will all be supplied by the 6" service. This should be <br />clarified on the plans. <br /> <br />6. The existing sanitary sewer along the east property line is an 8" pipe. The engineer should <br />provide a flow estimate from the car washes and store in order to ensure that the service <br />does not overload the existing sanitary sewer pipe. <br />
