BOOK 92 MME 861 <br />• The site plan shows 67 parking spaces (approximately 29 <br />percent) to be located along the back of the building which <br />are in conflict with the loading and unloading area. This <br />concern is further magnified by the less than average <br />maneuvering area available for delivery trucks. According to <br />a recent survey conducted by Knight, McGuire & Associates, <br />Inc. the Sea Mist Publix site found to have less than half the <br />maneuvering area provided by similar supermarket sites in the <br />area. <br />You also raised the question if the two openings along <br />Mooringline Drive should be defined as median openings. According <br />to AASHTO green book "A median is defined as the portion of a <br />divided highway separating the travel way for traffic in opposite <br />directions: Therefore, the physical separator that exists in.the <br />middle of Meoringline Drive is called a median separator, and since <br />these openings provide access to left -turning vehicles they are <br />functional median openings. Since the two openings on Mooringline <br />Drive are functional median openings their locations do not meet <br />the 330' spacing referenced in the LDR. These spacing <br />requirements -become a major concern due to the additional traffic <br />from the Sea Mist Shoppes site. Over 1000 trips per day are <br />anticipated to make left turns into the site through these median <br />openings; approximately 20 to 30 of which would be trucks. <br />I hope these findings help you in your course of action. <br />Should you have any questions, please call me. <br />Sincerely, <br />BARTON-ASCHMAN ASSOCIATES, INC. <br />Raj Shanmug , .E. <br />Senior Associate <br />E0 fta PARSONS <br />TRANSPORTATION GROUP <br />87 <br />July 12, 1994 <br />
