Mark, I agree with you that the driveway if left will be a problem that we will have to deal with in the
future --just for them to save money with not having to relocate the driveway to a safe location.
If PFA wants an emergency access curb cut, it does not have to be as large as the designed driveway. In
fact, leaving the large curb cut and not using it will be unsightly and could be a nuisance problem for the
City. People may be parking there, dirt and trash accumulation, etc. Therefore, if the drive cut is to
remain for an emergency access only, the curb cut should be narrowed to just what is necessary for the
use. The remaining area should be landscaped and made more attractive for pedestrians. In addition,
since the driveway would be most desirable to residents living in the complex, obstacles should be placad
along the whole frontage to prevent people from making their own driveway.
Let me know if you want to discuss this further

This project is going to the P&Z Board for approval on July 15th with the condition that the driveway on
JFK Parkway be designed as a emergency access only. I don't have a problem with the emergency
access other than the fact that PFA will not allow vertical curb. In my mind this will make the driveway
appear (with bollards) to be a "true" access. Also, I feel that in the future we will have complaints as to
why the access can not be a full movement access, and then we are back to square one.
As the code reads the Traffic Engineer and the City Engineer shall review all curb cuts. Therefore, the
decision is in your "court", but I will say from my point of view the accesses should be aligned. There is no
reason why it can not be designed that way. Furthermore, I feel that if the group agrees with my views
that the condition should not be based on emergency access alone. It should be based on aligning the
accesses first with the option to review an emergency access at final compliance.
Respond as necessary... Mark

Steve,
Engineering will approve this project going to the board based upon the following:
The driveway connection to JFK Parkway is to align with the existing access to The Parkway Townhomes
on the west side of the street. The Senior Apartment driveway shall be a full movement driveway.
If the applicant wants to propose the access as emergency only. Then they need to provide us with a plan
showing its design, including how they propose to limit access from other vehicles, prior to July 7th, 1999.
