Mr. Jay Kennedy August 28, 1996 Page 3 Minnesota Street intersection more frequently than normal. This has been taken into account in our calculations. The north parking area is a vertical parking scheme using the existing Calibre Ridge access as its parking aisle. The dimensions and layout as shown will create some operational problems. Traffic backing out of some of the easterly stalls will back directly into the intersection between the Rice Street and Minnesota Street access roadways. Thus, traffic backing out of these spaces must look to the west, north and east, as well as be aware of traffic coming out of adjacent driveways to the restaurant and the east parking area. The parking spaces are also set back significantly from the existing curb line of the Calibre Ridge driveway. The south curb line would be modified, and we think become misleading for traffic accessing Calibre Ridge. The south curb line as shown leads away from the road into the Calibre Ridge area. The westerly parking spaces are also in conflict with the driveway to a Calibre Ridge building on the north side. While the volumes on this end will be significantly lower, it is another potential conflict point. The plans do not show where deliveries may be made or where trash would be picked up. There appears to be a lower building access point on the west side; however, it is inadequate for all but small vehicle access. Trucks would be unable to back into this access area. Unless they are to utilize the parking area on the east side of the building, there will be trucks backing up on the roadway on the north side of the building. If you have any questions regarding our comments or calculations, please feel free to call me at 490- 2045. Thank you for the opportunity to review this site plan.
