The proposed curb cut is 30 -feet in width with return radii of 30 -feet which is consistent with the City's standards for a commercial curb cut.

City of Carmel Department of Engineering One Civic Square Carmel, IN 46032 Phone: 571 -2441 Fax: 571 -2439 Re: Martin Marietta Proposed 106 Street Curb Cut WEI Project No. W08 -3015 Dear Gary: This letter of request pertains to a proposed curb cut at the intersection of 106 Street and River Road (vacated under Instrument 200600062723 -see attached). Martin Marietta is making this request as outlined in the Statement of Commitments recorded as Instrument #200500006560 (see attached) concerning the use or development of real estate made in connection with petition for special use permit (Docket No. 04040024 -SU). Specifically, this request relates to Section 2 (f) of said Commitments. Martin Marietta proposes to use this proposed entrance for crossing 106 Street to access the Mueller North property directly and haul material to the Carmel Sand Plant across such Mueller North property. The City of Carmel has jurisdiction of the Right -of- Way of 106 Street. Martin Marietta dedicated 45' half width Right -of -Ways on both sides of 106 Street on September 26, 2005 and was recommended for approval by Mike McBride on October 12, 2005 (see attached). Additionally, Martin Marietta requests approval to install two "Truck Crossing" warning signs with flashers as well as two Stop Signs for the North/South River Road entrances in the City's Right -of -Way of 106 Street for safety reasons, which should help alert traffic flow better around this intersection. We are proposing to remove the existing vegetation/trees, fence and relocate power poles within the sight triangle established for the posted 30 mph speed limit on both sides of 106 Street (approximately 400' each way of the intersection). Per your request, we also looked at the sight triangle for a 40 mph limit, which required 535' each way of the intersection. For purposes of this curb -cut, Martin Marietta would be willing to clear such obstacles to within 500' each way of the intersection as a compromise. The private drive is proposed to be thirty (30) feet wide with thirty (30) foot radii to help accommodate the truck traffic. We certainly appreciate your time working with us on this request prior to submittal. 10505 N.
