Dear Mr. Brown-,
Pursuant to your request, haven has reviewed the following documents,submitted by the Applicant for
the above reference project:
• Site Plain Description, Update, dated April 28,2016, prepared by Lansing Engineering,;
Variance Plan Site Layout,dated May 2, 2016, prepared by Lansing,Engineering, and;
Traff ic Assessrnent,dated May 26, 2016, prepared by Creighton M an ni ng E ng[neeri ng.
Cornimentslabs,erval ions regarding the tiraffic assessment and layout are offerecl bellow for the Town's
consideration:
1. The Traffic Assessment only Includes an evaluation of the potential internal,clueuing at the
drive-thru lanes for the bank(and also Includes trip,generation raites for the blank use alone).
The assessiment should to be expanded to eva lu ate throe t raffic for the entlire site as the iproject
has the potential togenerate 150 or more trips in the weekday PM peak hour.
More importantly,the assessment noted the site's,access locations but did not provide,ain
evaluation as to their appropriateness.Specifically,three,exit lanes from the drive-thru area
should not be a Ilowed as,this may have safety I m pl lications and(Alii lead to d6ver co nf uslion.
Additionally,full access shouild not be allow at the Main Street aicce,.ss. There is, not atwo-way
left-turn median along the site frontage as stated in the assessment, but rather the lmedlian
space is,ain exclusive left-turn lane in the westbound direction. Long westbound queues will
have safety,implications for vehicles wishing to turn left into or out of the site,and eastbound
left-turns wishiing:to,enter,w0l likely,cross the double yellow line to use the opposing left-turn
lane as storage space.These items should be addressed.

i grassed sw+wnales In subcatchmrent 2,and two ( .)grassed)swwales in subcatchrnent 9 which wilt
be used to infalltrate runoff. However,the location of these swalles has not been shown on the sate
plan and details for the same have not been provided. Additionally, the Hydro model for
