NORTHWEST CORNER LANE (301 W. APPLICATION OF INSTALLATION OF ANGELES AVENUE SERVICE STATION DEVELOPMENT ZONE Background: (CC meeting of Sept. 16, 1998) OF RESOLUTION APPROVING MINOR 13 TO CPD 89 -2 LOCATED AT THE OF LOS ANGELES AVENUE AND PARR LOS ANGELES AVENUE) ON THE SHELL OIL COMPANY FOR THE A DIRECTIONAL CURB -CUT ON LOS FOR EXIT ONLY FROM THE SHELL IN THE COMMERCIAL PLANNED (APN 511- 08 -45) This project was continued from the Council meeting on March 18, 1998 for the purpose of having the applicant resubmit a Modified Option "C" for a directional exit only curb -cut along Los Angeles Avenue with a driveway apron subject to final review and approval by the City Engineer and Caltrans. Discussion: The applicant has subsequently submitted a modified option "C" along with a letter from their traffic Engineer addressing the feasibility of the proposed driveway. Although Caltrans has not provided specific comments as to the geometrics of the proposed option, it is staff's experience that Caltrans will require the driveway apron to be perpendicular to Los Angeles Avenue, within Caltrans right of way. The directional exit would be on the Shell station property behind the State's right of way. The driveway has been designed for right turn egress only (See attachments). To discourage left turn ingress from Los Angeles Avenue, staff would recommend a physical barrier. Because Caltrans will not allow a raised median it is suggested that oversized raised pavement markers be utilized.

Alameda Avenue, Suite 203 Burbank, CA 91502 eb:BT e5, ai C 'ld TRAFFIC & TRANSPORTATION ENGINEERINU SUBJECT: SHELL STATION - LOSAN(iELES, MUORPARK Dear Mr. Ghaderi: In response to your request, we have reviewed the proposed exit only driveway on Los Angeles Avenue in Moorpark. The driveway would be 18 feet in width and at a 45'angle from being perpendicular to the northerly curb line of Los Angeles Avenue. A review was made of the proposed geometrics utilizing the design passenger vehicle of AASHTO. It was found that the geometrics would accommodate a vehicle approaching from any direction on the station site. In addition, the turn onto Los Angeles Avenue could be made entirely within the curb lane. The alignment is similar to that of a channelized turn lane. Reference is made to Figure 405.4 "Traffic Island Designs" of the Caltrans Highway Design Afunrral This design has been widely utilized to restrict driveway exits to right turns. The design is also illustrated to serve this function in the InstituteofY7 ansportcrtioar Engineers publication " 1' ratr. murtationmidlandDevelul2me rrt,rigure6 -7 "Supplementary One -Way Right Turn Driveway." 0(1(K ' =t^ 23421 South Pointe Drive • Suite 190 • Laguna Hills, CA 92653 a (949) 460 -0110 • FAX: (949) 460 -0113 L0 ' 3Cdd -2- In summary, the proposed driveway design provides adequate geometries and conforms to recommended practice. We trust that this review will be of assistance to you and the City. If you have any questions or require additional information, please contact us.
