Re: The Village Green Minor Site Plan Amendment — Right- In/Right -Out Entrance
Dear Justin:
I have reviewed the minor site plan amendment for The Village Green dated 5122/13 with
revisions dated 7/18/13 and 1018/13 and offer the following comments:
1. The tubular markers are acceptable to be used in conjunction with the concrete median in
the entrance to provide a Right- In/Right -Out access to Hydraulic Road. The tubular
markers shall be predominantly yellow, retro - reflectorized and installed per the
MUTCD. The preferred height is 48" to provide better visibility.
2. The markers are being installed by the development owner as part of their entrance
modification from a Right -In entrance to a Right- In/Right -Out Entrance. As a result,
there will need to be a maintenance agreement with the development owner indicating
their responsibility for the maintenance of the tubular markers.
3. A Land Use Permit will need to be obtained from this office for the entrance
improvements. In addition, a single use Land Use Permit will need to be obtained each
time that maintenance to the tubular markers is required.
If you have any questions concerning this project, please feel free to contact me.
Sincerely,
Tro Austin, P.E.
