Subject: FW: Sigstad Carpets -- truck turning movements 8 -8 -01
fax l.tif
Scott/Kris:
Attached is a fax from Jeff Hensel of Greystone that I requested showing wheel path turning
movements for the larger trucks that will be making deliveries to Sigstad Carpets. The first sketch
is with the current driveway location 68' from 60 Street N., the second sketch moves the
driveway southerly to 109' from 60 Street North. Turning movements from either direction on
60 Street N. under either scenario results in the truck or trailer encroaching into the northbound
land of the side street approximately 4' to 6'. This is not a desirable situation for northbound
vehicles waiting at this intersection (especially in the future when this becomes a through street
with higher traffic volumes). In addition, internal movements just north of the building necessitate
the truck driving through a majority of the parking stalls to make the turning movement around
their proposed median nose. If any cars are parked there, the truck won't make it through.
I discussed these issues with Jeff Hensel yesterday. He acknowledged my concerns. He had
two recommendations:
They will only allow "early morning" deliveries of the semi trucks (so cars won't be parked
north of the building, and hopefully traffic is minimal on the side street). This sounds good,
but probably impossible to regulate?
Or, allow a truck only entrance off 60 Street N. to the east of the building (where they
currently show Temporary Truck Access). This should then probably be separated from the
parking area (with curb and gutter) to dissuade customers from using this entrance. This
would result in losing about 3 parking stalls. Also, this would probably require MnDOT
approval for access onto 60 Street N.?
Of the three scenarios (driveway as is, driveway further south, truck entrance off 6o Street N.),
the safest and least disruptive would be the truck entrance only off 60 Street N. With this
scenario, the northerly side street driveway can be located a farther distance from 60 Street N.
(reconfigure parking stalls) since trucks would not now have to negotiate the internal turning
movements north of the building. Also, they wouldn't need to "cut off' the northeast corner of the
building with this scenario.
I realize we are only talking about 1 or 2 semi trailers a week for the carpet store, but there is
other retail space being proposed needing deliveries. And although we don't usually recommend
separate truck only access points, this seems to be the most feasible scenario for the site plan
being proposed. Please call me if you have any questions or require additional information.
Thanks.
