Mayor & City Council Page 2 <br />January 6, 1995 <br />R/W Paved Pick -up <br />Radius Radius Turn - around? <br />Iona Lane 50' 33' Yes <br />*Burke Lane 30' 24' No <br />Twin Lake Trail 50' 34' Yes <br />* *Bryan Avenue 60' 20' No <br />* Temporary turn - around paved within a 60' street right -of -way <br />(see attached map). <br />** Paved area functioning as turn - around. <br />The Public Works Superintendent feels that a pick -up could <br />adequately turn around in a 30' paved radius. The five <br />additional feet will allow for snow storage. A dump truck <br />without a plow was not able to negotiate this turn without a <br />backup maneuver. To accommodate larger vehicles such as garbage <br />trucks, snow plows, school buses, etc., a 45' radius is <br />necessary. (It must also be kept in mind that a connecting <br />street does meet more of our design objectives than the cul -de- <br />sac option and will likely cost less assuming a 40' right -of -way <br />is used.) <br />Accommodating the turn around of a pick -up without a back up <br />maneuver should address 95% of the trips on any of these deadend <br />streets. This is why we feel it is an acceptable recommendation <br />given the circumstances of working within a built -up <br />neighborhood. It is also important to remember that the need for <br />additional right -of -way beyond the paved area is not as critical <br />in a built up area in that utilities are already in place and <br />house setbacks are already established. <br />A motion is in play on this matter. If this information affects <br />that action, I should know it at this time. If not, I will <br />proceed with the study as directed. <br />Mayor Fahey has also indicated he would like to discuss this <br />matter with the Council at our meeting on the 11th.
