Comer sight distance measured from a point on the minor road at 13 feet back from the
edge of the major road pavement (flowline) and measured from a height of eye at 3.50 feet
on the minor road to a height of object at 4.25 feet on the major road.
•• At Local -Local street intersections only, the "D" distance shall be ten feet (10t 1 and the
sight distance shall be measured to the centerline of the street.
••• For private driveway access to a public street, use 10 feet back from flowline (or shoulder
for gravel roads).
1 These values apply to passenger cars on 2-lane roads only. Intersections and
access seining trucks or on multi -lane roadways requires separate analysis.
2. Adjustments may be required for a skewed intersection.

Figure 7-16. According to LCUASS Figure 7-16, the corner intersection sight distance for a
design speed of 40 mph (a Collector Street) is 660 feet. As shown on the attached exhibit, the
proposed Rolland Moore Drive and Public Local Street intersection fails to meet this requirement.
Building No. 6 and the parking lot is located within the required sight distance. Due to the on
street parking, the intersection Rolland Moore Drive and the Public Local Street will have an
approximate sight distance looking east of 310 feet.
Also, the intersection of the Public Commercial Street and Rolland Moore Drive will have an
approximate sight distance looking west of 310 feet. which is less than the minimum sight
distance for a Collector Street. These substandard sight distances can create a public safety issue.
Thank you for your considerations.

RE: The Grove, Project Development Plan.
Dear Board Members;
I have reviewed the site plan for The Grove, revised 11-08-10, and I have the following concerns:
Per Article 5 of Title 9 of the Colorado Revised Statutes — Section 9-5-102.(2) Design Criteria
"Design Criteria shall comply with the 1998 version of the "American National Standard for
Building and Facilities Providing Accessibility and Usability for Physically Handicapped People'
promulgated by the American National Standards Institute, commonly cited as "ANSI AI 17.1-
1998".
According to ANSI A 117.1-1998, all of the proposed buildings in The Grove development will
be required to have an accessible entrance with an accessible route to the entrance from the
designated handicap parking spaces. In addition, the accessible route must be the shortest route
possible.
While the design criteria does not have a maximum length of the accessible route, I believe the
intent of the criteria is to have the new construction site configured such that there are short
distances between the handicap parking and the building entrances. The following is a table of
the,distances of the accessible routes from handicap parking space to the entrance of the
building as shown on the revised site plan.
Building Approx. Length of
Accessible Route
Building 4
Building 5
310 feet
400 feet
The remainder of the buildings has handicap parking spaces near their entrance.
While ANSI A 117.1-1998 does not give a maximum distance to a handicap parking space, the
intent of ANSI At 17.1-1998 is to provide accessibility to physically disabled persons. I believe
that requiring handicap persons and the elderly to travel over 300 feet in all weather conditions
including rain and snow is not reasonable.
2. LCUASS Section 7.4.I.A.5 states "The corner sight distance provides for vehicles to enter traffic
and accelerate to the average running speed. Corner sight distance shall be measured as shown in
