Our review of the original plan was made and summarized <br />in a March 5, 1997 letter. <br /> <br />It appears that many of the comments that we made in the March letter were reviewed by the <br />applicant and some adjustments made where possible. As an example, the south parking aisle was <br />increased in width from 21 feet to 24 feet which should make it adequate for two-way traffic. The <br />downside of this change is that the sidewalk on the south side of the building was reduced in width <br />from 5 feet to 3 feet. An overhanging vehicle can render the sidewalk somewhat impassable. This <br />can be corrected by having area primarily for employees, increasing the sidewalk width to 5 feet, or <br />modifying the parking stall by placement of a wheel chock or curb. <br /> <br />The circulation for trucks has also been improved significantly. Several of the radii on the islands <br />have been modified to permit easier flow around them. The driveway between the Tire Warehouse <br />and the Knights of Columbus area has been increased significantly in width. Trucks will have still <br />have to backup to the loading dock and backup to or from the trash dumpster. However, this at the <br />far end of the parking area and should have a minimum amount of conflicting flow and very few <br />customers. <br /> <br />The door at the back of the building has been changed from a narrow entrance leading to a 24 foot <br />aisle to an opening to a north-south aisle. This will help flow of traffic out of the building. <br /> <br />SHORT ELLIOTT <br />HENDRICKSON INC. <br /> <br />MINNEAPOLIS, MN <br /> <br />ST.
