The barn measures 16 . 5 ' off of the edge of <br /> pavement. Using figure 9 from the Facilities Development <br /> Manual(see enclosure) , the barn is outside of the clear zone. <br /> Although it is highly unlikely an errant driver would misjudge <br /> the curve and run into the barn, it is possible. The town <br /> should take some measures to minimize their liability if this <br /> situation did occur. <br /> One possibility would be for the town to exchange right-of-way <br /> with Mr. Trick. The structure would then be on private <br /> property. The township would take in trade property along the <br /> south side of roadway. Also included in the agreement would be <br /> accommodations for future road improvements . <br /> The town could sign the curve with additional chevrons and <br /> place an advisory sign below the existing curve sign . The <br /> addition of beam guard would also protect the traveling public. <br /> If you have any questions, call me at 266-4036 . Our office <br /> hours are 7 : 00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. <br /> DANE COUNTY HIGHWAY AND TRANSPORTATION DEPARTMENT <br /> /a7.7 //At/ <br /> Pam Dunphy, Assi tant Commissioner <br /> ENCLOSURES: <br /> COPY: Steve Reynolds, Dane County Zoning <br /> est:\word5\misc\tnalbton <br />
