We also recognize the fact that <br /> denial of the C.U.P. for the asphalt plant will have no effect on the proposed hauling of <br /> crushed stone base course via Hwy 12 to the Hwy 19 project --as the Ziegler pit from which <br /> the base course will come, is already zoned to do that. <br /> In view of the above, if the C.U.P is granted, we will be taking extraordinary measures to <br /> mitigate the hauling/traffic safety concerns. Being considered at this time are: <br /> 1.) Construction, at the pit entrance on Hwy 12, of a NB acceleration lane for trucks, <br /> and a SB bypass lane for traffic while trucks are stopped waiting to turn left across <br /> traffic. <br /> 2.) Special signing, including variable message sign boards, alerting motorists of trucks <br /> entering/leaving Hwy 12 immediately ahead. <br /> 3.) Same as No. 2 at the Hwy 12 and 19 intersection. <br /> 4.) Other measures necessary as we determine from monitoring the situation. <br /> or,, <br />
