General Standards <br /> <br />1. Entrances and exits to loaaing facilities should be limited in number <br /> should be designed and located to minimize any interference with the flow <br /> of traffic along the street. <br /> <br />2. To reduce the intrusion into residential neighborhoods, loading areas must <br /> take access from other than residential streets. <br /> <br />3. Loading areas are often unsightly and should, therefore, be located and <br /> designed to minimize direct exposure to public view. These areas should <br /> be buffered with landscaping to reduce the visual impact whenever possible. <br /> <br />4. The design of loading facilities must take into consideration the spe=ific <br /> dimensions required for maneuvering the combinations of trucks and tractor- <br /> trailers into and out of loading position at docks or in stalls and drive- <br /> ways. The maneuvering space required is largely dependent on three factors: <br /> <br /> a. Overall length of the tractor-trailer unit~ <br /> <br /> b. The width of the space in which the vehicle must be placed, and <br /> <br /> c. The turning raOius of the tractor-truck which pulls the unit. <br /> <br /> Inasmuch as the tractor-trailer uses slightly more s~ace to pull out than <br /> to back in, all reference to maneuvering space is based on the requirements <br /> for pulling out. <br /> <br />- 13 - <br /> <br /> <br />
