Nealis, City Manager SUBJECT: Consideration of Traffic Commission Recommendations Regarding Safety Improvements for Vehicular Access to the City Administration Facility October 8, 1990 At the regular meeting of the Rolling Hills Traffic Commission held on Friday, September 21, 1990, Commission members made a formal recommendation regarding safety improvements for vehicular access to the City Administration facility. It is reported that vehicles exiting the facility often drive down the middle of the driveway. - The recommendation included: - Installation of median striping from Portuguese Bend Road, easterly approximately 75 feet toward the parking lot; - Installation of -a Stop sign for vehicles exiting the Administration Building; and - Installation of the word "STOP" on the driveway adjacent to the proposed Stop sign, to further emphasize that a vehicular stop at this location is required. This recommendation was supported by the City's Deputy Traffic Engineer, Tom Sorrentino. A drawing of the proposal is attached. /ic Excerpt from September 21, 1990 Traffic Commission meeting: CONSIDERATION OF SAFETY STRIPING AT CITY HALL Deputy Traffic Engineer Sorrention stated that it is reported that drivers have a tendency to drive down the middle of the driveway to ingress and egress the City Hall parking lot. The driveway, being approximately twenty feet wide, would be adequate for the creation of two ten foot wide lanes. He proposed a solid yellow line which would extend fifty feet back from the stop bar. CHAIRWOMAN LEEUWENBURGH suggested a sixty foot line. At 8:55 A.M. CHAIRMAN LEEUWENBURGH adjourned the meeting to the site location. The meeting was reconvened in the City Council Chambers at 9:04 a.m. MOTION: COMMISSIONER WELBOURN moved that seventy-five feet of solid yellow line be installed easterly of the existing stop sign; that the existing trees be trimmed and the stop legend be repainted. CHAIRMAN LEEUWENBURGH suggested that the potential relocation of the existing mailbox re considered. COMMISSIONER VIRTUE seconded the motion. There being no objection, the motion carried by unanimous vote.
