L l I tle Canada Planni ng January 16, 1979 Page Two Commission Access and egress to the site is provided by 20 foot wide entrances on the north and west sides of the site. The entrance on the west lacks visibility from Ryan Drive or Spruce Street due to its location on the curve. This is a potentially hazardous situation. Also, industrial traffic should never be allowed to utilize public streets for maneuvering into a given property. The importance of this factor should be amplified in the analyzation of the west entrance. There appears not to be enough room for safe maneuverability on the site for major transport vehicles. This would indicate that the undesired utilization of public streets for maneuverability would possibly occur at this site. The number of required off - street loading spaces at the site is two (2). This require- ment has been fulfilled, however, major transport carriers may have to unload on the side of the building. The lack of on -site maneuverability may prevent convenient and safe loading and unloading conditions. Building height, size and setback requirements do conform to ordinance standards. Utility easements are not a part of this site. Minimum requirements have been fulfilled for the site. The size of the site may be too small relative to the curvature of the street pattern. Access and egress to the site may propose concern due to lack of visibility, particularly on the west. Maneuverability on the site does not appear totally compatible for major transport carriers. RECOMMENDATION Our recommendation is to allow one (1) entrance on the north in an effort to reduce the amount of vehicular movement on the curvature of the road. The planned warehouse/ office meets all setback requirements as set forth in the zoning code. However, con- sidering its location on the corner of the Ryan Drive and Spruce Street, and its un- favorable access areas and on -site maneuvering, it is questionable whether the site is large enough for its proposed use. Regulations for actually building the facility and its use, particularly as it relates to movement patterns, should be highly monitored. cc: Mayor and City Council Joseph Chlebeck Clayton Parks Don Carley Art Ryan Larry Squires (758.09 - 79.01) n -a Q
