REGARDING
INTERSECTION LINE OF SIGHT DETERMINATION,
DEFINITION OF AREAS OF CONCERN,
AND LANDSCAPE REQUIREMENTS
ALL INTERSECTIONS, INCLUDING MAJOR DRIVEWAYS, REQUIRE DESIGNS USING LINE OF SIGHT
CONSIDERATIONS to ensure protection of the health, safety and welfare of the
public.
Line of sight determinations define AREAS OF CONCERN for which a careful and
thoughtful design shall be developed. This design must merge the skills of the
developer's landscape architect and traffic engineer as well as the• civil
engineer.
The resultant design may not produce a clear zone but must include a blend of
appropriate landscaping as well as signs, poles, fences and other above ground
facilities that result in a design that PROVIDES ADEQUATE VISIBILITY and A
PLEASING, APPROPRIATE LANDSCAPE DESIGN.
Intersection lines of sight are determined using graphic procedures with the
distances given on Figure I. An appropriate design is then determined for the
defined areas of concern using the following notes and Figures:
1 . 5 distance is measured along the centerline of the street.
2. Designs based on intersection lines of sight shall be included in the
grading plan, any landscaping plan, all street improvement plans and any other
pertinent plan.
a. Where slopes, mounding or landscaping might obstruct the view in
an AREA OF CONCERN, cross sectional views shall be provided using 3.5 feet
control point elevations at each end of each section.
3. All engineers involved with intersection and/or intersection lines of
sight designs shall be mindful of possible pedestrian traffic, especially
children, and consider their safety and well being of primary importance.
4. Street and median trees shall be the designated variety. If . the
designated tree is a low branching variety ( i .e. pine trees) , the street trees
must not be placed in an area of concern but in an area accommodated by a street
tree easement. In .areas where planting is limited, an alternate street tree may
be considered by the Engineering Division.
5. Appropriate surface or plant materials are any which will not ultimately
exceed two feet above the curb in height ( including mounds and slopes) . Such
materials are turf, gazanias or hardscape .
