PORTAGE PLACE ASSOCIATES - Continued 2 simultaneously the current access point is closed and removed in its entirety. The proposed access to Portage shall be constructed to City Standards, to and including the acceleration, deceleration, and passing lanes. The current geometrics shown on the plans submitted to this office will require modification to meet these standards. Please note the dimensions listed on the attached drawing, with regard to the geometrics of the entrance itself. 5. It is requested that a one -foot non - access easement be established along the remaining frontage onto Portage Avenue. Consistent with the request made of the development on the east side of Portage Avenue, it is required that additional right -of -way be dedicated in anticipation of the widening of the Portage Avenue Toll Road Bridge. This right -of -way should be 20 feet in width and shall be parallel to the existing right -of -way line. The new right -of -way line shown on this plat is not consistent with this requirement. It is apparent to this office that the proposed driveway is to service not only the retail development but also serve as an additional entrance to the apartment development. With this traffic flow in mind, it is requested that the site plan be modified to address this primary traffic pattern. Please refer to the site plan as modified by this office. 6. It is also requested that the drive -in facilities for the proposed bank be located on the south end of the building as opposed to the north, thereby eliminating the possible back -up of traffic into the primary traffic lanes serving the interior street network. On May 19, 1980, the City Engineer had the following comment: "All previous comments made with respect to traffic related aspects of the proposed rezoning apply. The newly submitted site plan does not reflect the comments made the last time that this proposal was submitted to this office. This office finds this site plan to be substantially deficient with respect to those previously submitted require- ments."
