We find the proposal acceptable for further development with <br />consideration of the following comments. <br /> <br />We request that the developer dedicate 50 feet of right of way from the centerline, and <br />access control to TH 47. <br /> <br />Access for the development should be via local streets. As an "A" minor arterial <br />highway, access to TH 47 should be limited to collectors and other highways. It is <br />necessary to restrict access to the highway to ensure that it provides an acceptable level <br />of service now and in the future. For safety and operational reasons, access to the <br />highway should be at major intersections with a spacing of a minimum of one-half mile. <br /> <br />The spacing of 153rd and 149th meets that criteria. In this area aec. ess must be limited <br />to these intersections to protect the safety and functional integrity of TH 47. Existing <br />access in this area should be consolidated to local streets with connections to these major <br />intersections. The connection of minor local streets to TH 47 is inappropriate. <br /> <br />An Equal OpportuniO, Employer <br /> <br /> <br />
