b) Burrtec Comments:
The project site is located at: 106 W. Baseline St.
Project Description: Construct a McDonalds restaurant
Comments: The undated Site Plan identifies a single proposed trash enclosure located at the northeast corner of the property. Usable enclosure dimensions are 20'X 14' 8". Access RESOLUTION NO.2026-009-PC
25 is provided by a looped driveway with a minimum width of 24 feet. Sheet 3 illustrates collection truck turning movements through the project.
Based upon the information provided, the project meets or exceeds Burrtec's minimum requirements for trash enclosure size and accessibility.
-The location of the trash enclosure will result in interference with the drive -thru lanes throughout the day. If collection trucks enter from N. Sierra Way, they will block the drive- thru lanes as well as being partially in the N. Sierra Way right -of-way. If they access the site from Base Line St., they will completely block the drive -thru lanes. Service may be provided anytime throughout the business day, so the drive -thru lanes may be blocked during peak business hours.
Any changes to the overall project design, enclosure specifications or location, or access may adversely impact Burrtec's ability to service the project. Any design modifications that could impact Burrtec's service will be subject to review and approval by Burrtec.
Burrtec's review of this project is limited to determining whether it meets Burrtec's minimum standards for waste and recycling collection services. Any comments or approvals by Burrtec are limited to these minimum standards as they relate to our equipment and personnel and do not pertain to the project's compliance with applicable federal, state and local land use and environmental laws, building codes or other applicable government regulations. Any approvals by Burrtec do not warrant or represent that Burrtec accepts any liability relative to the performance of waste and recycling collection services within this project.
End of Burrtec’s comments.
