MORGAN COUNTY HIGHWAY DEPARTMENT 5400 BLUE BLUFF ROAD MARTINSVILLE, INDIANA 46151 Phone: (317) 831-7989 '- April 21, 1995 Mooresville Plan Commission 26 South Indiana Street Town Hall Mooresville, IN 46158 Gentlemen: We have reviewed three proposed developments to be heard at your April 27 meeting. 1. Harold LIQyd - Keller Hill Road We commented on this case last month, and our concerns about reduced frontages still apply. There is, however, good sight distance at the proposed access point. ~ 2. Ambassador Steel! Meadowbrook Business Park! Country Club Road The access point on Country Club Road has adequate visibility both ways. The plat calls for each lot to handle stormwater run-off. While this may be necessary because of the unknown nature of the development of the lots at this time, it would be a good idea to plan a significant increase in run-off and install some area wide detention. I would suggest, specifically, that a detention basin be placed along the south property line at Lot 4, and that the two main drainage ways coming toward Lots 4 & 5 from the northwest and north center be shown as drainage easements, or that construction plans show regrading to run those drainage ways along planned easements. It should be noted that this development must comply with Indiana Department of Environmental Management Rule 5 erosion control procedures. Also, since this is an industrial development, traffic loads can be anticipated to be heavier than on regular subdivision streets. I would recommend that pavement thickness be built to county Major Collector, 1000 - 3000 vehicles per day standards, which would require: 1" asphalt surface over 2" asphalt binder over 2" asphalt base over 12" #53 crushed limestone compacted to 95% ASTM D1557 over proof rolled subgrade - or- 7" 4000 psi Portland Cement Concrete over 5" #53 crushed limestone compacted to 95% ASTM D1557 over proof rolled subgrade.
