Mr. Mike Falk July 2, 1996 Page 3 Traffic using the parking area on the east end of the building will travel primarily from the south Lexington A venue driveway. It is our experience that drivers, instead of parking at the parking stalls, will use the area in front of the building. This, coupled with vehicles at the south pump islands facing south, will reduce the area for maneuvering between parked vehicles to a minimum amount. Parking at the east end of the building and the circulation between the parking at the building and at the east property line is adequate. However, the circulation around the west and south side of the convenience store is minimal for a passenger vehicle. The turning radius provided at the southwest corner of the building is just enough for a vehicle to maneuver. Storage for the car wash building is minimal. These vehicles will be stopped directly in front of the aisle which must be used by most of the traffic using the parking spaces. If there are two or three vehicles backed up from the car wash, circulation in front of the building is stopped. Because of the reliance on the south Lexington Avenue driveway, the tight maneuvering to the gas pumps and the necessity of traveling to the east side for parking, site circulation will be very difficult. The convenience store building is actually in line with a driveway. This means that traffic coming in from the south Lexington Avenue driveway must travel diagonally through the area between the building and the north side of the driveway. Because of the narrow spacing at the gas pumps and on the west side of the pump islands, these vehicles will not be in a good position to make the turn to travel to an open pump island. The dumpster is in a convenient location for a trash vehicle to drive to it. However, when the vehicle leaves, it must back up across the entire front of the building and then travel between the gas pumps to exit. While this is a late night maneuver, it could still be a problem unless the station is shut down when the trash is being removed. With the restricted hours, this is possible. Tank transports must enter from the Lexington Avenue north driveway and then exit onto Roselawn A venue. It is not possible for them to physically turn from eastbound Roselawn A venue onto the site. They must also back up against the north and west curb lines in order to keep the Roselawn A venue driveway open to traffic between the car wash building and the parked truck. The distance will still be slightly more than 20 feet. This will then complicate the tank truck maneuvering to leave the site and turn onto westbound Roselawn Avenue. Delivery vehicles apparently will either maneuver into the 15 foot wide aisle on the west side of the store blocking it, park illegal in front of the store blocking the pedestrian path between the pumps and the store or take some of the parking area on the east side. Delivery vehicles will not be able to maneuver around the southwest corner of the building nor will they be able to reach the south side
