| | SITE PLAN COMMENTS: |
| | 4. PER THE TRAFFIC STUDY, THE TRAFFIC CONDITIONS NEAR |
| | THE SITE ARE EXPECTED TO SIGNIFICANTLY IMPACT VEHICULAR |
| | ACCESS. THE WESTBOUND QUEUE AT BANYAN/TAMARIND IS |
| | EXPECTED TO BE OVER 2,000 FEET DURING WEEKDAY PM PEAK |
| | HOUR. INBOUND AND OUTBOUND LEFT-TURNING VEHICLES COULD |
| | RESULT IN POTENTIAL SAFETY CONCERN TO ROAD USERS. A |
| | MEDIAN ISLAND IS BEING CONSIDERED AS PART OF THE BANYAN |
| | BOULEVARD IMPROVEMENT. |
| | 5. PROVIDE ADDITIONAL BIKE RACKS NEAR THE CORNER OF |
| | TAMARIND/BANYAN. |
| | 6. A TURNAROUND SPACE AND BACK UP AREA AT THE DEAD-END |
| | AISLE IS REQUIRED ON THE FIRST AND SECOND FLOOR PARKING |
| | GARAGE. PER CITY CODE, A MINIMUM THREE-FOOT BACK UP |
| | AREA SHALL BE PROVIDED AT THE TERMINUS OF ANY DEAD-END |
| | DRIVE AISLE TO ALLOW FOR VEHICLES TO SAFELY PULL OUT OF |
| | THE END PARKING SPACES. IN ADDITION, THE EQUIVALENT OF |
| | ONE PARKING SPACE AT THE TERMINUS OF A DEAD-END AISLE |
| | SHALL BE STRIPED AS A DEDICATED PULL-IN AREA FOR |
| | TURNING AROUND. |
| | 7. PROVIDE AUTOTURN FOR THE DEAD-END TURNAROUND AREA |
| | AND THE SET OF TANDEM SPACES ON THE SECOND FLOOR OF THE |
| | GARAGE WITHIN THE RAMP LOOP. |
| | 8. THE DEVELOPMENT IS PROPOSING 81 PARKING SPACES, |
| | WHICH IS 43 SPACES OVER THE MINIMUM REQUIREMENT OF 38. |
| | THAT IS A 113% SURPLUS. PROVIDING EXCESS PARKING SPACES |
| | IS LIKELY TO INDUCE EXTRA VEHICULAR TRIPS. IT IS |
| | RECOMMENDED THAT A FLEXIBLE PARKING ARRANGEMENT BE |
| | MADE, SPECIFICALLY: THE 2ND FLOOR COULD BE CONVERTED TO |
| | ANOTHER USE IN THE FUTURE, WHILE IN THE MEANTIME THE |
| | 1ST FLOOR COULD BE LEASED OUT AS PUBLIC PARKING FOR |
| | TRI-RAIL PASSENGERS, WITH REVENUE SHARING WITH THE CITY |
| | TO SUPPORT THE CITY'S TRANSIT OPERATION FUND. MOREOVER, |
| | AS THIS IS A TAX CREDIT AFFORDABLE HOUSING AND ALSO A |
| | MICRO UNIT PROJECT, THE AMOUNT OF VEHICLE USE WILL BE |
| | MUCH LOWER THAN A TYPICAL RESIDENTIAL PROJECT. PLEASE |
| | PROVIDE DETAILED JUSTIFICATION TO THE EXCESSIVE NUMBER |
| | OF PARKING SPACES. |
| | 9. PROVIDE PATHS FOR TRUCKS EXITING THE LOADING ZONE |
| | ONTO BANYAN BOULEVARD. |
