Dear Mr. Shepard:
Wehave reviewed the Timberline Farm Master Plan/Parcel A Preliminary and
Site Access Study. We ask for your consideration of the following comments.
The. Master Plan shows two points of access to State Highway 68, Harmony
Road, The "Limited Left" access should be located 900 feet east of Timber-
line The
line Road to be consistent with .the adopted Harmony Road Access Control
Plan. The proposed temporary "Right-in/Right-out" access to Parcel F is
not consistent with the plan. Access to this .parcel should.be obtained
from Timberline Road and/or via an internal road across Spring Canyon Ditch.
Construction of the access to State Highway 68 requires a deeded access
opening at the access location and an Access Permit. Application for the.
permit is made to the City and must include the design for all .required
turn lanes. There is a 35-foot deeded access opening about 900 feet east
of Timberline Road. Any change in width or location of this opening would
require anew access deed. Any other access openings would need to -be
closed.
This development will have a significant impact on the Timberl-ine/Harmony
intersection. We recommend that the City obtain the necessary geometric
and turn -lane improvements at this intersection as warranted by development
generated traffic.
Thank you for the opportunity to review this plan. Please cont ct me at
350=2168 if you have any questions.
