FEB el 'O1 14:17 FROM:BWR Coraorotion KCMG 8163830017 7-57Z P.84/14 F-448 Name o[ Contact: Walter Dowd, President Business Name: Beverly Camber Compagy Buainrss Address: R O. Bois 9039, Kansas City, MO 64168 Phone: (816) 741-301'1 Comment or Concern: Mr. Dowd is concerned about losing the parking along the shoulder of the street 811 the way along the property. He is specifically concerned with the trucks that cuaetltly park in front of the office to inquire about whcrc to unload their shipment which he says is an average of about once per day for about f -2 minutes duration. These trucks will then back into either of the two driveways as there is no room for them to tum around once mey enter the yard. He wants to have a parking lane for these trucks along the street in front of the buildings. Response: Due to inadequate space between. the proposed street and the buildings, it is not practical to ~ovide a lane here for truck parking. In order for a parking lane to be included. the sidewalk would have to be eliminated, which would savenly itnpaet the effort to include foot traffic along the 6111 length of the street improvements. Riverside I?UblicSafety Officer, Chief Wylie Simpson, says that, although it will be technically unlawful to pazk oa this proposed street, the 1oca1 police department would not have a problem with trucks parking there for a few minutes to get instructions ss long as they were not causing a traffic probleat_ He added that they would not permit any loading, unloading or customer parking there. BWR recommends that ao changes be made to the proposed improvements. Future options the owner:nay have include I) acquiring additional property on. the north side or 2) the possibility of adding a new entrance onto Ytiverway Blvd. on the south side of the property. Both of these options may allow better traffic flow for trucks through the yard.

Fie is also concerned about the grade of the driveway. which is cunrnt[y fairly steep. His concerns is that with the street widening, the driveway will become oven steeper. They saggcsted moving the driveway further to the cast if it would he as improvement. Response: The contractor will be repaired to maintain access to alI of the businesses during canstruction_ ?he current driveway slope is approximately 11 % at its steepest point The ptc~posed driveway reconstructed in its current locatioa will maintain the same maximum slope of 11%. The APWA maximum tecomtnended slope outside the right-of--way is 15~v, so we are weal within the design criteria here. After reviewing the cross-sections, it was determined that there would be no advantage to moving the driveway to the east as the grade at those Iocadions would be just as steep. FEB O1 'O1 14:18 FROM:BWR Corporation KCMG 8163830017 T-571 P.OB/14 F-448 Name of Concoct: Jeaeva Myers, Or+-ner Bgainess Name: Tat>~a 3Aler Cospor:tion 1Busiaecs Address: 2704 W. Platte Road, Riverside, MO 64150 ~' Phone: (816) 453.3869 Comment or Concern: Ms. Myer is concerned about access to the parking in front of the building housing seven small offices. She sees no need for a sidewalk on bar side of the street and trqueaW roll over type curbs along the sweet in front of her building. She is concerned about loosing all of the parking for these offices. Ms. Myer also had questions oa the width of the proposed driveways, distance from the ptt~posed street and sidewalk to the building and so-forth, because the map was printed in metric units and she wants to know the distance in feet. She was concerned that the drainage between the building and the street was not going to be properly taken care of. Contractors working on previous construction on Riverside Street caused damage to the pavement at the west end of the property. Ms Myer wants the City to resurface this lot in return for any cotlstructioa easement invlovit~g tine Gateway Road improvements. Response: R sketch was pt+epaned showing the distances converted into feet for the clearances is question. In order for access to tranain along the entire Iength of the building. the sidewalk would have to be eliminated, which would severely impact the effort to include foot traffic along the full length of the street improvements. The existing pavement along the front of the building is almost entirely within existing City right of-way. ALso, this remaining pavement between the proposed sidewalk and the building would be inadequate for standard parking maneuvers, For these reasons, new sidewalks are being provided for access to the parking areas on the east and west ends of the building. The cxiating pavement between the sidewallc and the building will be removed and replaced with sod so that it can be easily maintained. This area would be an excellent area for landscaping by the City, which we believe, would further improve the value of the property. The Ciry will need to address the request to resurface the Iarge parking area at the west end of the building, which is outside the scope of this project- FEB O1 '01 14:18 FROYI:BWR Corporation KCMD 81838388ZT T-572 P.eT/14 F-448 Name of Contact: Ed Rule, Owner Bnslneas Name: Cornet Cafe Busimess Address: 4513 NW Gateway Rood, Bivesrida, MO 64150 Phone: (816) 453-3869 Comment or Concern: Mr. Rule is concerned that the proposed street layout eliminates his access to NW Gateway Road. He would like to have a route to get to the street here even though it may require crossing throu~r the adjacent parking lot on another property- Response: The geometry of the proposed intersection of NW Gateway Road and NW Vivian Road together with the location of the property on the comer of the intersection, makes it unsafe to locate a driveway for this property dineetJy onto ]VW Gateway Road. However, we have come up with a solution to the problem that involves the Corner Cafe to sharing an access with the property directly to the south. FiIger Oil Company owns this property, which is currently vacant The driveway for the adjacent property was moved north closer to the property line and will sern bath Filger Oil Company and Corner Cafe. An outlet has been added between the two properties to allow Corner Cafe traffic access to the driveway. A sketch has been made showing this proposed arrangement. Since Corner Cafe traffic will need to pass onto Filgcs Oil Company property, Filger Oil Company will need to grant Corner Cafe an "Tngress/Egress Easement." BWR recommends this be done in the form of a writteA legal document between the two property owners and filed with the Cot2ary Register of Deeds. The attached sketch shows the driveway/entrance layout and the repaired "IngressJEgress Basement " FEB 41 '01 14:18 FROM:BNR Coraorotion KCMG 8183330017 T-57Z P.08/14 F-44B Name of Coatnct: Gary M1W~ General Manager Basiaess Name: Sonic DtivaIn Bnsineas Andress: 2711 INW Vivlo~n Ilaod, BiversMe.

This street is a dead end that is aoeeBSed from the "out thru" on tfte NW corner of the intersection of NW Gateway Road and NW Vivion Road. lie was concerned that with the proposed layout of the intersection, he would not have access to his property. He noticed that the "cut thcu" had baen blocked off on the north end and he was assuming it would remain a one way sR eel and he would sot be able to come northbound to Riverview 5tree[ to his house. Response: With the intersection improvements, it is planned to eliminate the "cut thtu" and modify it so that it is used as local access only, To do this the north card was tnodifted to become an entrance to Deb's Dinar only. The south portion of the original "cnt tbru° will be widened to allow 2-way traffic to serve the residences on Riverside Stnx-t and to provide a south entrance to Deb's Dinar. This will become an extension of Riverview Street and is already inside of City rigbt-of-way. Attached is a sketch showing the layout of this street.
