Subject: 	31 Fore Street - Traffic Comments

Jean ‑ I have reviewed the project application and generally find it to be acceptable with the following comments.

*      The proposed project does not meet City standards as it relates to corner clearance.  City standards require 35 feet of clearance, and the project will be providing approximately 31 feet of clearance. Given that the project is providing a driveway on the lower volume street (not on Fore Street), providing increased separation with a nearby driveway, and site design factors, I find the driveway location to be acceptable and I support a waiver from City standards.

*      The aisle width for the parking lot is slightly wider than City standards.  I support a waiver from City standards.

*      The applicant shall provide a construction management plan for review and approval.

*      On‑street parking regulations appear to require changes with the project and will require City Council action.  This comment is intended to notify the applicant of this requirement and will need to support City staff in preparation of the City Council packet.

If you have any questions, please contact me.
