Re : Village of Rye Brook
South Ridge Street
Dear Mr . Suerig :
This is in regard to your request that we review your plan
for Rye Brook Townhouses . 'You will have to make a formal
submission to this Department pursuant to Section 239K of the
General Municipal Law .
We have reviewed your plan and find the following comments
appropriate :
1 . No direct access is proposed to South Ridge Street ,
County Road 54B. Ingress and egress will be via Wyman Street ,
a Village Street .
2 . Analysis of traffic volumes provided does not indicate
the need for the installation of a traffic signal . Side road
volumes even with the new development would not require the
addition of a lane on Wyman Street . Sight distance for
vehicles exiting Wyman Street is poor to the North when
vehicles stop at the painted stop bar . Vehicles must move
approximately six feet into the intersection in order to gain
sufficient sight distance to the north .
It is proposed that the southbound right lane be
hatched out in thermoplastic pavement markings in order to move
the pavement width transition north of Wyman Street . This
would allow vehicles exiting Wyman Street to move into the
intersection in order to gain sufficient sight distance .
The initial installation of thermoplastic markings
will be made a provision of any formal application for Building
Approval pursuant to Section 239K of the General Municipal
Law. The County will provide future maintenance .
3. In regard to our storm water evaluation , we find the
revised site plan , dated November 25 , 1986 , submitted December
19 , 1986 , conceptually acceptable . This new layout shows the
Mlchaellan Office Building• 148 Martine Avenue, White Plains, N.Y. 10601 •914-285—.?555
