Dear Sherry,
We have reviewed the Best Western Transmissions P/F, and
have the following comments:
ROW The Site Development Plan indicates a 100-foot right-
of-way for SH 287, and shows a.7-foot strip of
additional ROW, which results in a 57-f6ot width right
(east) of highway centerline. If this additional width
is' adequate to meet the projected highway needs through
town, no additional width is requested. The Plans do
-not indicate whether that additional width is reserved
or dedicated.
ACCESS A single aeoess to SH 287 would be allowed. The close
proximity of the proposed access to the existing one to
the south is not desirable; however, it is preferable
to an access point closer to Stuart street. The right
in/right out access will be controlled by an existing
raised concrete median along S. College.
DRAINAGE The Grading and Drainage Plan indicates that surface
runoff appears -to be controlled by a planned detention
pond. The city drainage system appears to handle any
additional occasional runoff which may occur from this
property.
PLANTINGS The Landscape Plan shows landscaping within the state
highway ROW. We allow such landscaping provided that
it does not impair sight distance at any highway
access, does not present a eafey hazard, and would not
unreasonably conflict with future highway expansion,
Particular consideration should be given to the safety
of pedestrians as plantings near pedestrian crossings
could obstruct view of them. New trees are normally
not recommended within the ROW, since they may
difficult to relocate should future expansion of the
