Definifion: The minimum site size to lie initially considered will be 25 acres as established under the Exclusionary Criteria Co-location sites with other municipal facilities or operations of less Phan 25 acres will he considered provided that transportation access, buffers, and preliminary transferstatioh layout and roadway configurations demonstrate the adequacy of a smaller site. 4~tdFF-IGtEu~,? a°nrG Gn~~ roR ^~^:=S;TL pno,^,IInwnvc nnri nnir. n~in onpkiur. , r ,,;1 ,,f,, e,~~noi~tirorinnfroFwa~~bttQn-~eb~btCJ-~ntt-tt4nefnr f~Tn'Inrc `--space-#e-prevent inse~gei""'gym basking ante public-reads- 4.` SUFFICIENT SPACE FOR ON~SITE ROADWAYS, QUEUING, AND PARKING Important 5 Consideration: Transfer stations typically have on-site roadways to move vehicles around various parts of the transfer site: The site that /arils itself to the most efficient design in terms of ,Waste collection trucks can be up to 40 feet long: Transfer trailers that move waste to a disposal facility are safety,r roadway geometry, and layout will be ranked highest typically 50 to 70 feet long: Tfiese vehicles need wide roadways with gradual slopes and curves to 'Roadway widths; maximum slopes, number of lanes, fuming radius, maneuver efficiently and safely.
