1. Please show the proposed curb radius for the Market Street Driveway.
TECHNICAL STANDARDS – ACCESS (driveway, sidewalk, and sight distance):
2. The proposed exit aisle from the Oil Change Bays and the NB drive aisle, appears to hinder the ability of SUVs to use the 1st parking bay. Please revise the area, based upon the auto turn vehicle movements for SUVs and Pick-up Truck, so these vehicles can safely exit the site via the 12’ wide One Way drive aisle.

4. The drive aisle for the 30’ Private Ingress/ Egress Easement has striped islands at the end of the parking rows. These islands may require standard landscape islands.
5. Please clarify the 4.5’ area at the back of the western parking spaces.
6. As the developer has chosen to provide automobile spaces, please provide bicycle parking spaces for the site. Please add the proposed number to the site data table and graphically indicate on the plans the location of bike parking. [Sec.18-528 CofW LDC]
