In addition, consideration should be given to mitigation <br /> measures such as acceleration and deceleration lanes, turn pockets, etc. Because of the <br /> lack of details in information and/or clarity of Location Site Map on this proposed Project <br /> the Department is unable to make a thorough/adequate assessment. More information <br /> regarding our Study requirements can be obtained through our web site at <br /> www.dot.ca.gov/hq/traffops/developsery/operationaIsystems/ reports/tisguide.pdf. <br /> An Encroachment Permit will need to be obtained from the Department to access and/or <br /> construct within any state right-of-way. There maybe egress and ingress issues that will <br /> need to be addressed concerning traffic flow along SR 120. In addition, the existing <br /> driveway may need to be upgraded to commercial standards. A complete environmental <br /> assessment and/or document addressing impacts and mitigation measures on state right- <br /> of-way will need to be submitted with the Permit Application. More information <br /> regarding Permit requirements can be obtained through our web site at www.dot.ca.gov. <br /> We suggest that the County continue to coordinate and consult with the Department to <br /> identify and address potential cumulative transportation impacts that may occur from this <br /> Project and other developments near this geographical location, so that they 'do not <br /> conflict with our future transportation corridor improvement plans. This will assist us in <br /> 'Culuu s improves mobility across California" <br />
