, ~1r, 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 jslands facing south, 'will reduce the area for maneuvering between parked vehicles to a minimum amoun't. Parking at the'east end of the building and the circulation betv.'een the parking at the building and ~H the east property line is adequate. However, the circulation around the we.st and south side of the con\'enience store is minimal for a passenger vehjcle. The turning radius provided at the southwe:--l corner of the building is just enough for a vehicle to maneuver. " Storage for the car wash building is minimal. These vehjcles will be stopped directly in front of the ai~le which must be used by most of the traffic using the parking spaces. -If there are two or three whicles ba(,Ked 'up from the car wash, circulation in front of the building is stopped, Becau5>e of the reliance on the south Lexington Avenue driveway, the tight maneu\'ering to the gas pumps and the necessity of tra\elir'f to the east side for parking, site circulation will be \'ery difficult. The convenience store building is actually in line with a dri\'eway. This means that traffic conlin~ in from the south Lexington A venue driveway must travel diagonally through the area between th.: building and the north side of the driveway. Because of the narrow spacing at the gas pumr' 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 vehjcle to drive to it. Ho\\'ever. when the whi('Je leaves. it must back up across the entire front of the building and then travel between the g:.b pump~ to exit. While this is a late night maneuver, it could still be a problem uhless 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 drive~lay and then exit onto RoseJawn 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 t.o keep the RoseJawn 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 Jeaw 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 pump~ 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 v.)1J they be able to reach the south side
