Dear Mike:
We have reviewed the Fossil Creek Nursery proposal to move the existing business to a
developed site south of Trilby Road. The plans indicate that this business will assume the use of
existing buildings. There is no specific mention of the prior use of this property. Impact has
been analyzed by a traffic study dated August 14, 1995. We reviewed that study which
describes the auxiliary lane needs. That study assumes that all movements will be allowed at the
access (left and right turning vehicles). If this property is experiencing a change of use as
defined in Section 2.10.3 of the State Highway Access (SHA) Code, the overall access picture
should be reviewed and a determination made whether or not this access location is appropriate
and what traffic movements to and from the highway should be allowed. It is possible that turns
should be limited to right-in/right-out.
Access The traffic study identifies a right deceleration lane of 450 feet plus a 270 foot taper.
Those lengths are appropriate provided a 40 foot turning radius is constructed. This
study further states that the right turn lane would be constructed within the existing paved
Shoulder area. No mention is made of the shoulder width. The taper calculation has
been based upon a 12 foot turn lane which we, at the Department, would like to see.
Any access improvements and any restriction of turns to and from the highway must be
documented by a State Highway Access Permit obtained from the City as the issuing
authority. That permit must be finalized prior to any activity within the State Highway
right-of-way (ROW).
Landscaping The preliminary landscape plan shows deciduous trees within the State Highway
ROW and deciduous and ornamental trees just west of the ROW line. The Department requests
that no trees be planted within the ROW and advises that the addition of trees very near the
highway can cause drifting and icing problems along the roadway. Also be advised that
landscaping shall not obstruct sight distance at any State Highway access.
Utilities If new utility lines or connections are necessary within the State Highway ROW,
please contact Mr. Henry Rangel at (970) 350-2111 in order to obtain a utility permit.
