The following safety measures have been, or will be, implemented: 1. Stop Sign - Westbound 2. 10 Mile-Per Hour Speed Limit • Signs In Both Directions 3. No Left-Turn Sign - Westbound Signs 4. Gravel Paving 5. New Gate 6. Sight Lines 7. Landscaping 8. Uniform Hours A stop sign is placed on the westbound lane at the point where the gravel portion of Wocdhill Avenue meets the bituminous portion of Woodhill Avenue. A no-left turn sign was placed to indicate no turns onto the private road of the Woodhill Ridge development. A 10 mile per hour speed limit sign will be posted in both directions. Woodhill believes that the reduced speed limit is an appropriate safety measure, as are the stop signs and no-left turn signs. Similarly, the gravel paving will also serve to slow traffic and to attract less use. The gravel will be maintained on a regular basis and will provide adequate road structure for the limited amount of traffic anticipated for this access point. This type of gravel paving has been utilized at this exact location for equal or greater levels of traffic for many decades. A new gate will be constructed for Woodhill Country Club. This gate will be located on the Woodhill property ten to fifteen feet east of the Woodhill property line. The gate will be dual swinging and will be locked in the center. The lock device can be utilized by emergency vehicles. Both the post and the gate will be ccnctructed of a sturdy material to provide adequate security. Covering materials for the gate will be chosen to blend in with the surroundings. Sight Line Cleaning and Landscaping will be undertaken as necessary, but not In a way to attract increased use of the back entrance. Since after-dark use is not contemplated, no additional lighting of the area is proposed. Woodhill proposes that the access be open during uniform daytime hours . Regular daytime hours will promote safety by creating uniform expectations for neighbors and members. Such hours will minimize turnarounds. They will not require neighbors or residents to consult watches and calendars when using Woodhill Avenue. If the City believes it desirable to have different or additional signage, different paving of Woodhill Avenue, or different paving of the west driveway between the Woodhill maintenance building and Woodhill Avenue. Woodhill is willing to discuss such alterations to the existing driveway and street. DucVIIIJIOM 3
