Street is improved with 3 lanes with curb, gutter and sidewalk abutting the two parcels. B. Utility street cuts in the new pavement on East 1st Street are not allowed unless approved in writing by the District. Contact Construction Services at 345-7667 (with file numbers) for details. C. .District policy requires the applicant to construct curb, gutter and 5-foot wide concrete sidewalk and pavement widening to a 41-foot street section on King Street abutting the MCU2596. WPD Page 2 parcels (approximately 300-feet on the south parcel and 150-feet on the north parcel) prior to issuance of any required permits or District approval of a final plat, whichever occurs first. D. District policy states that direct access to arterials and collectors is normally restricted. There is an existing 40-foot wide curb cut on East 1st Street, located 83-feet south of King Street. The driveway does not meet the District's separation requirement of 220-feet for access to E. 1st Street from King Street. There is an existing driveway on King Street, located 15-feet west of the back of curb on E. 1st Street; this driveway does not meet the District's required separation of 50-feet. The existing driveways on E. 1st Street and King Street serve the existing fuel pumps between E. 1st Street and the existing building. If the two driveways that are not in compliance with District policy were removed, the fuel pumps would not be accessible. Staff recommends a variance of District policy of the required driveway offsets, if the driveways are modified as follows: the applicant should reconstruct the curb cut on E. 1st Street as a 20-foot wide curb return approach restricted to entrance-only, and the applicant should construct a 20-foot wide curb cut on King Street located as far from E. 1st Street as possible (approximately 20-feet west of the back of curb on E. 1st Street) restricted to exit- only. Additional access to the southern parcel can be provided by the alley on the southern parcel's south boundary and further west on King Street. District policy allows access to the alley and King Street a minimum of 50-feet from East 1st Street with a minimum of 50-feet of separation between driveways on King Street. E. There is an existing 27-foot curb cut on the northern parcel on E. 1st Street, located 28-feet north of King Street. The driveway does not meet the District's separation requirement of 220-feet for access to E. 1st Street from King Street. District policy requires the applicant to replace this curb cut with curb, gutter, and sidewalk to match the existing improvements on E. 1st Street. Access to the northern parcel can be provided by King Street. District policy allows access to King Street a minimum of 50-feet from East 1st Street with a minimum of 50-feet of separation between driveways. F. Graveled driveways abutting public streets create maintenance problems due to gravel being tracked onto the roadway. The District requires driveways to be paved to their full required width of 24 to 30-feet wide and to a point 30-feet beyond the edge of pavement. G. The existing transportation system will be adequate to accommodate the additional traffic generated by this proposed development with the requirements outlined within this report. H. This application is scheduled for a public hearing by the Meridian Planning and Zoning Commission on September 10, 1996. The following requirements are provided as conditions for approval: MCU2596.
