Subject: 	McFarland Spring Corp., 280 Warren Avenue

Jean ‑ I have reviewed project information transmitted for the McFarland Spring Corp. expansion project and offer the following comments.

*        The site currently has three access/egress points on Warren Avenue and I would suggest that one of the driveways be closed.  The applicant shall submit information that documents the need for all curb cuts.  Auto‑Turn graphics and other supporting documentation should be provided.  Based upon my site investigation, I would suggest that the westerly driveway be closed.  I would note that a temporary closure plan would be acceptable, thus avoiding pavement moratorium fees.  The details of this temporary program would need to be established.

*        Details on all designated parking spaces and circulation areas should be dimensioned and illustrated.

*        Vehicle turning templates should be provided that documents the need for the pavement widening on the side of the building where the expansions is proposed.

If you have any questions or comments, please contact me.
