The following standards apply to all public and private road intersections, and commercial driveways.
Only one access point shall be permitted unless the Planning Commission determines additional access points are necessary to provide reasonable access to motorists, delivery vehicles and emergency vehicles, and that the additional access points will not compromise traffic operations and safety along the public roadway. A second access point may be required for residential developments with over 20 units, commercial uses that are expected to generate over 100 peak hour directional trips or to be used as a truck-only access point.
Where practical, commercial access shall be from a shared driveway.
Two one-way driveways may be permitted along a frontage of at least 125 feet, provided the driveways do not interfere with operations at other driveways or along the street.
Access points shall be spaced a minimum 80 feet from an intersection of two major roads, measured from near edge to near edge of pavement. Access points shall be a minimum 60 feet from other street or commercial driveway intersections, measured from center line to center line.
Access points along major streets shall be aligned with, or have center lines offset at least 100 feet from, access points on the opposite side of the street.
The Planning Commission, based upon a recommendation by the Road Committee, planner or engineer, may reduce the spacing requirements above or allow additional driveways upon finding that there is no reasonable opportunity to achieve a shared access design, that compliance has been attained to the greatest degree practical and the access design will not significantly compromise public safety or traffic operations along the public street, based upon a traffic impact study prepared by the applicant.
