TRAFFIC IMPACT:
A Traffic Impact Analysis (TIA) is underway for this development. Further comments may be generated when the final TIA and approval letter are issued.
TECHNICAL STANDARDS – NEW ROADS:
1. The site plans must show the turn lanes, through lanes and full intersections, (minimum of 250’ in each direction at signalized intersections) of Eastwood Road and Drysdale Drive Extension, Military Cutoff Drive and Calypso Drive, and Military Cutoff Drive and Drysdale Drive Extension.
2. The tentative location of stop bars, lane markings, and signal equipment such as Mast Arm base locations help in ensuring building and infrastructure conflicts are identified. Please show these items on the SRB plans.
TECHNICAL STANDARDS – ACCESS (driveway, sidewalk, and sight distance):
3. The proposed crossing for the 10’ Multi-use Path at the intersection of Street A and Eastwood Road appear to be offset, (due to turn lane width), and not properly aligned. Please align the crossing locations for the path along Eastwood Road.
4. The sidewalk along Military Cutoff, adjacent to Hotel Frontage appears to be missing. If the sidewalk is present, please use shading to show this sidewalk.
5. The parking lot areas do not show handicap accessible parking and access aisles, or pavement markings. These items are evaluated based upon access to sidewalks, entrances, etc.
