Dear Ads.Cni#fin:
As requested by the Board,we have coordinated Ore curbcm isswe with Mr. lfor,tress
rTiresenting the proposed resideutial projact across the weer and N HD- Am hcd is an
overlay skeMi 5how,ing both projects' propmed curbeuts onto Route 114_
The proposed driveway centerlines acre separated by about 200 feet,wkdch appear to be
adequate with tie existing shared center left tum lane.
We believe that the design as presented is the best layout. Moving the drives any closer
togethier would not be feasible, unless they were m dime*oppose each ocher,which is also
not feasible due to huizcYn 1.rind vertical restrictions(discussed in my previous lette)c)on
both projects
I nersq [[ W td..t is i15.ue yesterday with Mr. Mike Maras of the
His h va rtrnetr a o conclusions_ Per his recorxxrrze-Watson, we-aill
remove the superfluous ex Ming painted Jim that diagonall.Y traverses the center"R lane.
The plan revisions are being finalised Avis-a-vis all planning, conservation,and NMD review
comments—we wW deliver the revised plans early!text week,
e appreciate your time and comidexation on this matter~and are pleased to work with you
throxrghout tale approval process. Call me any time if you have any qu estions.
