Document Description
the proposed project involves the construction of three new driveways to provide emergency access to the Cays Resort Dry Boat Storage Facility located at Grand Caribe Isle North along, and on both the east and west sides of, Caribe Cay Boulevard North in Coronado. Currently, there are no driveways located along the concrete sidewalks surrounding the east and west boat storage sites. To provide emergency access to the boat storage sites the project propose to construct two new driveways along the sidewalk surrounding the east site and one driveway along sidewalk surrounding the west site. Construction of the new driveways would include the following:
- Cutting, removing and disposing of three approximately 30-foot-wide by 4-foot-long sections of existing concrete sidewalk;
- Reshaping the existing subgrade under each of the concrete sidewalk sections;
- Pouring concrete to create three new driveways that would be approximately 20 feet wide with 4-foot-wide driveway ramps on either side;
- Placing 3/4 - inch gravel in the approximately 20-foot-long by 20-foot-2ide unpaved areas directly adjacent to driveways.
Construction of the proposed project is anticipated to commence in early 2016 and take approximately one week to complete. It is anticipated that, at the height of the construction, the proposed project would generate an average of approximately four vehicle trips per day. Vehicle trips would be associated with delivery of materials and transport of construction workers. No roads would be blocked during construction. Due to its nature and limited scope, construction of the proposed project would generate a minor amount of vehicle trips and would require limited use of construction equipment, such as jack hammer and saw cutters. Therefore, no impacts would occur. Best management practices, including, but not limited to, fiber rolls, sandbags, and street sweeping and vacuuming, would be implemented during construction of the new driveways. Furthermore, the applicant would responsible for complying with all applicable federal, state, and local laws regulating construction demolition debris, hazards and hazardous materials, noise, and stormwater.
