Summary
Polar Engineering presented a site‑plan amendment to adjust internal curb lines at 3719 Union Road after large trucks had difficulty entering the northern driveway; the board approved the amendments intended to improve truck maneuvers while leaving the DOT apron unchanged.
The board approved a site‑plan amendment at 3719 Union Road to modify internal curb lines and improve truck turning without changing the DOT driveway apron.
Randy Bebout of Polar Engineering explained trucks approaching from the south had difficulty making the right turn into the northern driveway and presented an overlay showing the proposed curb adjustments within the site. Bebout said the DOT right‑of‑way apron would remain as constructed and the planned changes would be limited to the site's internal curb lines and driveway edges.
Board members asked specifically about fire‑truck access and emergency templates. Bebout said the fire‑truck template retained operability and that the adjustments would make it easier for large vehicles to maneuver; he described bumping out a tight curbline for parallel parking blocks to reduce the pinch points. After questions a motion to approve the site‑plan amendment was made, seconded and the board voted in favor.
The applicant and engineer will proceed to implement the as‑built amendments and coordinate any remaining details with staff.
