Mallett; Taylor Perschau; Britany Waddell <br />Subject: [EXTERNAL MAIL!] RE: Special Use Permit Application (SUP24-0009) - Chapel <br />Hill Joint Development Review Area <br /> <br />Hi Ashley, <br /> <br />Thank you for giving Chapel Hill Planning staff the chance to look at this proposed daycare expansion <br />near our jurisdiction. A group of us looked over the plans this week. Here are the comments that came <br />up during our courtesy review: <br /> <br />· Should the applicant consider some safety improvements at the driveway entrance? For <br />example, warning signage, cleared vegetation, and/or a convex mirror for better sight distance. <br />A few folks on our team who commute using this section of Erwin Rd noted that the visibility <br />along this stretch is not great. More people coming to and from the site could be a safety <br />concern. <br />· Google Streetview (dated Jan 2023) shows a large tire pile next to the building. Is that still <br />present, and if so will they be removing it? <br />· We wondered if plans should be shared with Durham City Fire, for any comments they have on <br />the driveway design. For example, are they supportive of the compacted all-weather surface, <br />and does the concrete pavement for ADA spaces need to be heavy duty? Our assumption is that <br />Durham could end up being the first emergency responders based on the site’s proximity to <br />Durham Fire Station 11. If y’all have a different understanding of how fire response will be <br />handled, feel free to disregard this comment. <br /> <br />Let me know if you have any follow-up questions. Hope everything goes well as this moves through the <br />process. <br /> <br />Thanks, <br />Corey <br /> <br /> <br />Corey Liles, Planning Manager <br />Planning Department | Town of Chapel Hill <br />405 Martin Luther King Jr Blvd. | Chapel Hill NC 27514 <br /> <br />direct: 919-969-5008 | cell: 919-949-4066 <br />cliles@townofchapelhill.org <br />Planning main: 919-968-2728 | planning@townofchapelhill.org <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />From: Judy Johnson <jjohnson@townofchapelhill.org> <br />Sent: Thursday, May 02, 2024 2:33 PM <br />To: Corey Liles <cliles@townofchapelhill.org> <br />Subject: FW: Special Use Permit Application (SUP24-0009) - Chapel Hill Joint Development Review Area <br />180
