You and I met Samantha and Kathleen,church <br /> representatives,at the site for the proposed commercial building. Samantha and Kathleen reviewed the site <br /> plan for the proposed building with us. We walked the building site and discussed driveway/emergency <br /> vehicle access,and occupancy of the building. The proposed building will set up on a smill hill. Occupancy <br /> will be on a reservation basis only. <br /> The building site will be accessed down a 24-foot wide gravel drive'by.along the same path as the existing <br /> driveway (see attached site plan). A loop will be added to the drivey-at id provide for <br /> circulation. The loop will also be 24-foot wide gravel and will have an end radius adequate for fire trucks to <br /> stay on the gravel during a turn. Off-road/driveway parking and handicap parking will be provided. The loop <br /> is between 20 and 30 feet from the building at its closest point. <br /> We discussed the grade(slope)of the loop past the building. The existing hill has a slope exceeding 10%. <br /> Fire trucks have a difficult time climbing slopes over 10%. They intend to modify the grade of the hill and <br /> keep it under 10%. <br /> We measured the width of areas along the existing driveway, and found the 24-foot driveway could be <br /> accommodated. We also looked at the existing culvert crossing the creek. The culvert is 24 feet wide. We <br /> discussed angling the driveway slightly to provide a straighter approach over the culvert, and adding <br /> reflectorized post markers to delineate the edge of the driveway. Samantha and Kathleen agreed to the <br /> suggestions for the culvert area. <br /> The proposed driveway appears to be adequate emergency vehicle access and occupant access. Please call if <br /> you have any additional questions about this site. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> MSA Professional Services,Inc. <br /> 446.1.0grei <br /> Katherine Kalscheur, P.E. <br /> Senior Project Engineer <br /> Baraboo.Wisconsin Beaver Dam,Wisconsin Friendship,Wisconsin Rhinelander,Wisconsin Galena,Illinois <br /> 2302 INTERNATIONAL LANE.SUIT 201 •MADISON, W1 53704-3127 <br /> 608-242-7779 • 1-800-446-0679 • FAX;608-242-5664 <br /> WEB ADDRESS:www.msa-ps.coin Gv.sconcTs1Iall ooIIWTRKIKoI*PO <br /> ■ <br />
