Home My WebLink AboutW. 44th Avenue Industrial ParkMEMORANDUM A roved Date ~E?iaN?NalPl7C gw PLIEV.EC VaOm.C5 TO: Daren Morgen, Code Administrator FROM: Steve Nguyen, Traffic Engineer 5~ DATE: Thursday, March 22, 2001 SUBJECT: sn~Auenne Ixidustcial Parks This memo serves as a response to the letter from Mr. Hartley dated March 14, 2001 with reference to the above matter. The letter stated that the City had required 16 "No Parking" signs along 43rd Drive and subsequently approved their installation. The Public Works Department has reviewed the development file and found no record stating that the City requested 16 "No Parking" signs to cover the enrire shetch of 43d Drive. In addition, we find no record stating that the Department had approved the installation. Myfieldinspectionoftheexisting"NoParking"signs on 43d Drive on March 20,2001 reveals that these signs are too far apart for drivers to read the information. Secondly, the sign orientation was not done to city standazds. The current sign facing does not allow the drivers to see the sign until they are next to it. In orderto rectifythis signing matter, the Public Works Departmentrequests that additional "No Parking" signs be placed along 43rd Drive so that drivers can be able to read the inforxnation from any location along the street. ~ Also, the signs need to insCalled at a 45-degree angle for their visibility. It is my understanding that since 43' r Drive is a relatively long cul-de-sac street, the fire deparlment relies on this street to be clear of on-street parking at all time to maintain their optimum response time. Thus, effective signing must exist on trus street to achieve that. Please see me if you fixrther clarification on this issue. cc: Alan White, Director of Planning and development Greg Knudson, City Engineer Mike Garcia, Development Review Engineer Meredith Reckert, Senior Planner 44 Eldridge, L.L.C. 770 Heritage Road• Golden, Colorado 80401 (303) 271-0650 • Fax (303) 277-0695 March 14, 2001 Darin Morgan Codes Administrator City of Wheat Ridge 7500 West 29'h Avenue Wheat Ridge, Colo. 80215 Re: 401 Industrial Park - No parking sigiage installation Dear Darin; I am in receipt of your letter dated February 28, 2001. Please see copy attached. Back in the summer of 1999, the City of Wheat Ridge approved all of our final plans on the 44`h Industrial Park, which included signage. The plans called for 16 No Parking Signs with specific locations as described in the plan that you have in your possession. Those signs were all installed by In-Line at a cost of $275.00 each. This was inspected and approyed at the time. The plan you have sent me calls for 58 signs and represents some illusion by someone at the City of Wheat Ridge that has never had a single conversation about this topic in the past year and one-half until I received your letter two weeks ago. The project is complete and has been far a long time and I have no intention of doing any other work on the project. Yours truly, ~ 6V Thomas L.
