Re: SDP - 2015 -00021 CMA Properties, Inc. — Initial Site Plan
Dear Ms. Falkenstein:
We have reviewed the initial site plan for CMA Properties dated 4/20115 as submitted by Collins
Engineering, and offer the following comments:
I . The existing traffic on Berkmar Drive is too high to allow the proposed entrance to be
constructed as a moderate volume commercial entrance. The proposed entrance will need
to be constructed to commercial entrance standards as defined in Appendix F of the Road
Design Manual. Most notably, the minimum width of the proposed entrance should be
30'.
2. The centerline of the proposed entrance should be aligned perpendicularly to Berkmar
Drive.
3. Sight line profiles need to be provided for the sight lines of the proposed entrance.
4. The storage length of the right turn lane should be measured to the entrance PC instead of
the location shown on the site plan.
5. The pavement structure of the right turn lane and the new entrance should match the
pavement structure of Berkmar Drive.
6. The proposed right turn lane is to be constructed in accordance with the Standard WP -2
in the 2008 Road and Bridge Standards.
If you need additional information conceming this project, please do not hesitate to contact me at
