We would be <br /> proposing to remove the eastern entrance and just use the western one. I added an alternative <br /> hammerhead turnaround for fire truck access, which can also be used to serve some overflow <br /> parking areas around its perimeter. <br /> Cy, I assumed from your previous email that you might have swapped the entrances. The 72" and <br /> 24" trees should no longer be a concern with this option. <br /> Please let me know your thoughts and we'll incorporate this change into the plans. <br /> Thanks, <br /> Bobby <br /> From: Cy Stober<cstober(@orangecountync.gov> <br /> Sent:Thursday, August 10, 2023 11:43 AM <br /> To: Robert Tucker<bobby(@bodhilandanddesign.com>; D'Angelo Jones Contact <br /> <diiones1(@ncdot.gov>; Brian Collie<bcollie(@orangecount)Jnc.gov> <br /> Cc: Chuck Edwards Contact<cnedwards(@ncdot.gov>;Taylor Perschau <br /> <tperschau(@orangecountync.gov>; Patrick R.

Some additional rationale would be helpful, D'Angelo. <br /> Bobby—I am uncertain how you could provide that driveway, though, without removal of the legacy <br /> trees. I am not happy to state the fact, but both the 72" oak and 24" maple are well within the sight <br /> triangles and present safety concerns. I am not seeing anything in the exchange below regarding a <br /> median to restrict turn movements and presume it is not needed. <br /> Thank you to you both, <br /> Cy Stober <br /> Planning & Inspections Director <br />
