Dear Ms. Ripley:
We have reviewed the Carpet Exchange Preliminary P.U.D., and we have
the following comments:
1. Projected traffic on S.H. 287 indicates the need for a 140-foot total
right of way, 70 feet each side of the highway centerline. Since the
existing width along this property is 50 feet east of the centerline,
additional width to meet the projected need should be protected by
reservation or, preferably, dedication, as permitted by City regulations.
2. Access to this property has been discussed in relation to the South
College Avenue Access Control Plan. The Draft Plan allows for a single
right -turn -only access to S.H. 287 between the planned southerly
relocation of Fossil Creek Parkway and Fairway Lane. This access must
serve both properties north of Fossil Creek Parkway and will be
permanently located on the Carpet Exchange south property line to be
shared with the adjacent property.
However, as a temporary solution pending the relocation of Fossil Creek
Pkwy., the City and State Highway Dept. would permit a temporary right -
turn -only access near the north property line as shown on the Site Plan.
An Access Permit from the City with concurrence by this office would be
required. This permit would clearly specify the conditions under which
a temporary access would be allowed and should identify the responsibility
for closure and permanent access construction.
In addition, we must emphasize that alternative access to this site is to
be provided by a southerly extension of Snead Dr. along the east property
line. A "Temporary Access Road" to Fossil Cr. Pkwy. through the property
to the south is also shown. The provision of these alternative means of
access must be coordinated with the City.
Thank you for the opportunity to review this P.U.D. Please contact
Wally Jacobson at 350-2168 if you have any questions.
Very truly yours,
