13 4. There appears to be insufficient stacking space for vehicles attempting to access the site. The drive has been widened and a 30'Radii provided. Per discussion w/Mr. Tom Altieri, Ms. Darcy Zorio and Mr. Harvey at Orange County offices on September 7, 2012, this is acceptable to address the comment above. 5. Proposed storage buildings are too close to property lines to allow for an adequate drive aisle. The buildings as shown of the current plan and the plans submitted to the BOCC and Planning Board both show a reduction in end units to allow for adequate drive isles and turning movements. A center drive isle of 25'was also added in response to these comments prior to submitting to the BOCC and Planning Board. Per discussion w/Mr. Tom Altieri, Ms. Darcy Zorio and Mr. Harvey at Orange County offices on September 7, 2012, this is acceptable to address the comment above. 6. Concerns were expressed over proposed sign locations. Staff wanted additional detail to ensure proposed signs were not located within established site triangles. Signs will not be allowed in the proposed site triangles in accordance with the approval and permitting of the driveway by NCDOT. Per the proposed locations, signs are located out of the site triangles and AASHTO Site Lines. Per discussion w/Mr. Tom Altieri, Ms. Darcy Zorio and Mr. Harvey at Orange County offices on September 7, 2012, this is acceptable to address the comment above. 7. BOCC members expressed concerns over existing, mature, foliage near the proposed entrance and asked for clarification if the existing trees would block visibility or create a hazard for large vehicles attempting to access the site. The applicant does not recall extensive discussions on the existing foliage by the BOCC members other than those comments already issued by the transportation planner.A packet of site pictures are attached to assist the BOCC and Planning Board members in getting a realization of the existing vegetation.As indicated at the meeting on August 27, access at the Right of Way will be regulated by NCDOT, however all site inspections and reviews of the existing site conditions do not reveal major concerns for Summit Design and Engineering, especially since the existing vegetation will have to be removed if deemed a hazard prior to receiving a driveway permit from NCDOT. Per discussion w/Mr. Tom Altieri, Ms. Darcy Zorio and Mr. Harvey at Orange County offices on September 7, 2012,pictures of the field conditions were provided and the entrance was reviewed in detail. Upon review, staff determined that the location of the driveway was acceptable with respect to the adjacent drive and the existing vegetation.
