We were concerned only <br />with the driveway. <br />Mr. Soler stated that the County's policy, simply stated, is that it <br />cannot deny access to the property. It can, however, place limitations <br />on such access as it deems necessary in preserving safety. This is <br />especially true in the case of a signalized intersection such as this. <br />Mr. Soler said the restrictions would be at the very minimum, a width <br />of 32 feet and a minimum distance from the intersection of 30 feet as <br />measured from the property line. This is a matter of interpretation, <br />we would believe that this means 30 feet from the radius point because <br />of the large radius on this corner. If this interpretation is correct, <br />the driveway on Centerville would not be possible since it would <br />overlap the driveway to the north which is barely 30 feet from the <br />radius point. <br />In addition to the above, we are of the opinion that the steep grades <br />at this intersection coupled with the close proximity of signals <br />makes for a dangerous interesection as was evidenced in the last light <br />snowstorm. . <br />We would not recommend a driveway on Centerville in this location <br />Page 12 <br />
