The locations of both proposed driveways are not within the prohibited distances to intersections as defined
by Figure 3.1 of AS 2890.1. However, there is reduced sight distance to Wildflower Street from the driveway
of Unit B. However, right-turning traffic leaving Wildflower Street must give way to traffic already on Pacific
Avenue. The road treatments at the intersection of Wildflower Street and Pacific Avenue (pedestrian island
and broken give-way line marking) and reduced sight distance to the left are likely to significantly reduce
the travel speed of right-turning traffic leaving Wildflower Street. Therefore, the required sight distance
from the driveway of Unit B to Wildflower Street can be reduced. The sight distance of 35 metres to
Wildflower Street is considered acceptable.

At present, there are no obstructions to sight distance from either driveway, with the exception for a stand
of tress located on the eastern corner of the subject lot. These trees, as shown in Figure 2, are to be felled.
Some existing trees on Hill Street and Pacific Avenue are to be maintained, however, the branch network
of all surrounding trees to remain are higher than the line of sight. Hill Street and Pacific Avenue, on the
side of the subject lot, are both represented by yellow line marking, thus preventing parked vehicles from
limiting sight distance. Additional photographs are presented in Appendix B.
