Accessing this property is at a street which could potentially see 20,000+ vehicle trips per day by the year 1993. Accesses onto a major arterial generally should not be allowed at distances less than 150` from the centerline of each access. In this case only 65' exists from the centerline of each access. Also, the close proximity to Cashway Plywood which has a driveway less than 25' north and Dan's Muffler at approximately 125` south complicate ingress and egress for their devel- opments. Given this information, it is necessary to place an exit-only restric- tion at the northeast access and require joint access for tax lots 800 and 805. 2. Access width far an exit-only of 25` is adequate; however, a joint access should be a minimum of 40' especially if trucks have an overall tractor/trailer length exceeding 60`. 3. An access permit wi11 be required from ODOT. The City has met with officials from ODOT and the recommendations from the meeting are listed in #1 and #4. 4. Curbs and storm drainage connections wall also be required for this development along with landscaping in the utility strip in (rant of the building adjacent to Highway 99. 5. At some time in the future whenever Highway 99 is improved, sidewalks and a bikeway shall be installed by the property owners abutting Highway 99. In order to accom- modate this project, a deferred improvement agreement wa11 be required for these imarovements. 6. A street light shall be placed at the exit-only access in order to illuminate the truck access. An additional light will, be required when the property to the south develops.
