Related to the findings of the Commission That
the project is designed with the greatest public
good and least private injury.

• THE PROPERTY OWNERS CONTEND
• They are not opposed to the project but rather in
  favor of this project since 1955.
• Due to closure of the at-grade intersections,
  emergency vehicles response time to the subject
  property would be doubled by the project.

• THE PROPERTY OWNERS CONTEND
• Due to closure of the at-grade intersections,
  emergency vehicles response time to the subject
  property would be doubled by the project.
• Emergency vehicle response time from the east may
  be faster after the interchange is constructed
  since they will not stop to cross Route 101.
• Emergency responders from the north may see a
  slight increase (less than 1 minute) to the
  current 11 minute response time. This is seen as
  less than significant by the emergency units.

Related to the findings of the Commission That
the project is designed with the greatest public
good and least private injury.

• THE PROPERTY OWNERS CONTEND
• Emergency evacuation would be difficult for the
  owners/residents on the west side of the
  interchange, with closure of the at-grade
  intersections, in the event of a failure of the
  interchange (e.g. earthquake) and one access to
  Route 101.

• Controlled access at the new interchange will
  provide safer ingress and egress to Routes 101
  and Route 36.
• The Department will provide emergency access at
  the decommissioned Drake Hill Road intersection
  for direct access onto Route 101 in the event of
  a major disaster.

Related to the findings of the Commission That
the project is designed with the greatest public
good and least private injury.

• THE PROPERTY OWNERS CONTEND
• The Department owns sufficient Right of Way and
  should construct an extension of the proposed
  frontage road between the interchange and Kenmar
  Road for public and emergency response access.

• THE PROPERTY OWNERS CONTEND
• The Department owns sufficient Right of Way and
  should construct an extension of the proposed
  frontage road between the interchange and Kenmar
  Road for public and emergency response access.
• Over 1.5 miles of additional Right of Way would
  need to be acquired by the Department to
  construct the property owners proposed extension
  of the frontage road.
• The construction of the freeway with interchange
  better serves the access and safety needs of the
  community.

Related to the findings of the Commission That

good and least private injury.

• THE PROPERTY OWNERS CONTEND
• Increased drainage from the proposed project will
  dramatically increase run-off/flooding and cause
  damage to an existing commercial building.

• THE PROPERTY OWNERS CONTEND
• Increased drainage from the proposed project will
  dramatically increase run-off/flooding and cause
  damage to an existing commercial building.
• The Department has taken measures to prevent any
  increase in run-off flow from the highway.
• The property owner should not experience an
  increase from drainage run-off to his remaining
  property as a result of this project.

Related to the findings of the Commission That

• THE PROPERTY OWNERS CONTEND
• Dedicated right-turn lanes should be constructed
  for southbound Route 101 traffic at the Sandy
  Prairie Road intersection.

• Dedicated right-turn lanes should be constructed

  Prairie Road intersection.
• Closing at grade intersections is intended to
  reduce collisions.
• Access cannot be provided at Sandy Prairie Road
  because it will create an unsafe condition for
  the traveling public.
