HomeMy WebLinkAboutRE Beachwave ComplexChristopher, Thanks for the response, I did not receive this last week. I have forwarded this to owner and Bary Brown, City Planner to review. Would it be possible to add a stop sign and do not block driveway sign. in lieu of redesigning site. Also all traffic has easy access to second drive on west side of both buildings. I will see if owner wishes to meet with District Traffic Operations Engineer Thanks, _________________________________ Dave Menzel mai Design Build 2200 Front St, Suite 300 Melbourne, FL 32901 (321) 757-3034 www.maidesignbuild.com <http://www.maidesignbuild.com/> ________________________________ From: Cairns, Christopher [mailto:Christopher.Cairns@dot.state.fl.us] Sent: Monday, August 27, 2012 8:20 AM To: dmenzel@maidesignbuild.com Subject: FW: Beachwave Complex Dave: This is to follow up on your 8/24 email. Yes, I reviewed and sent the email below the same day you sent the corrected plan. To emphasize one point, your proposed driveway/site may seem similar to many along the corridor but it is not—the differences are that it has left turns going into the site across queues from a traffic signal and it has a plus intersection internally. My understanding is that Mosh Gal called Friday to meet about this. I assume that person is the owner. Meeting is fine but it will be at least two weeks. This is necessary in order to involve our District Traffic Operations Engineer, who is unavailable until that time. We will contact Mosh to set up a meeting. In the meantime, please take a look at my input from 8/17. Also, please confirm receipt of this email.

I tried to show cars in the driveway and how easily it could become congested, which in turn could affect safety on A1A. You basically have a plus-type intersection 60 feet from A1A travel lanes. I understand that this operates adequately throughout the corridor for other developments. However, this location will feature queues from the adjacent traffic signal on A1A. These queues will increase the likelihood of on-site backups at the internal intersection because it will be harder to turn in or out. The big concern with this relates to left turns into the site. If a left turning motorist does not perceive the internal backups, takes a gap in oncoming traffic and has to slow or stop for on-site traffic, then that left turning motorist is susceptible to being hit broadside. While I indicated otherwise in our conversation, perhaps it would be best if Sans could produce a signed and sealed analysis (maybe as a revision of his previous document?) to show how/whether the proposed layout will work safely as it relates to A1A. The very short throat depth of the proposed driveway is the main concern. We are trying to work with you to allow access onto A1A versus the site’s sole access on Central at present but must ensure we are permitting something we believe will operate safely. I look forward to hearing back from you on this.
