geox 5 2 Fd'Gr �' <br />ALTERNATIVES AND ANALYSIS: (Continued) <br />Staff recommends that a deceleration taper lane be con- <br />structed by the developer along U.S.#1. This lane should be <br />0'(0 feet) wide at the northern boundary of Tract l and <br />taper to 12' wide at the entrance to the shopping plaza (a <br />distance of 141.41, as platted). This would eliminate <br />southbound traffic which is entering the shopping plaza from <br />having to stop on U.S.#1 to complete their turn. In con- <br />structing this taper lane, the developer should be responsi- <br />ble for relocating any sidewalks, curbing and powerline <br />poles as may be necessary. The developer must get all <br />D.O.T. permits as required. <br />In order to avoid possible accidents from traffic entering <br />and exiting the shopping plaza, it is also recommended that <br />the inbound traffic be limited to one lane in the entrance <br />drive and that the second inbound land, which has been <br />proposed on the site plan, should be utilized as a traffic <br />divider with a 10' wide planter median being constructed in <br />it. <br />Staff also recommends that the 25' wide drive which paral--- <br />�lels the retention basin and curves around the northeast <br />corner of the property be reconstructed so that it is a stub <br />_street which extends to the property line, rather than a <br />curve. <br />RECOMMENDATION: <br />Staff recommends that preliminary plat approval be granted <br />subject to the following conditions: <br />1) That the drainage easement shown on the northern border <br />of the plat be relocated to conform with the actual location <br />of the pipe. <br />2) That one street light be t <br />' both shopping plaza on U.S.#1 and the entrance tto the he rplaza ance ta�,the <br />10th Avenue. <br />3) That the applicant construct a deceleration taper lane <br />along the length of Tract 1 as described herein. This <br />required construction should include relocation of side- <br />walks, curbs and powerline poles as necessary. All required <br />D.O.T. permits must also be obtained by the applicant. <br />4) That the applicant construct a 10' wide planter median <br />down the middle of the entrance drive as described herein. <br />5) That the applicant construct the 25' wide strip.of <br />parking pavement which parallels the retention basin so as <br />to form a stub street which extends to the property line at <br />the northeast corner of the property line as described <br />herein. <br />36a <br />
