off-site roadway improvements for access are needed, the
geometrics will need to comply with the design standards of the
responsible roadway agency.
3.2.4.1.3 Geometrics may be used to channel truck traffic away
from POV parking areas by installing openings and radii suitable
only for the POV traffic. One-way traffic and corresponding
roadway geometry may be used to strictly control traffic
patterns on some sites.
3.2.4.2 Slopes and Setbacks
maintainable surfaces for landscape features. If landscaped area
slopes approach 2.5 horizontal to 1.0 vertical, consideration
should be given to use of low retaining walls (modular concrete
wall systems are efficient for low walls of limited lengths).
3.2.4.2.2 Typical state DOT roadway slope design limitations
should be met with consideration for parking and maneuvering
requirements of military equipment. Much of the military
equipment may be classified as all-terrain, but one of the
purposes of MEP and OMS/AMSA facilities is to provide for
ease of parking and maneuvering for maintenance purposes or
loading for transport.
3.2.4.2.3 Setbacks shall meet AT/FP requirements and
conform, if practical, to local zoning requirements or
Government installation design guidance in order to be
compatible with neighboring facilities and uses.
3.2.4.3 Utility Clearances
3.2.4.3.1 Utility clearances shall provide for safe long-term
operation and maintenance of utilities, prevent interference of
one utility with another, and meet public health or safety
requirements, such as minimum separation of sanitary sewers
and water mains. Special designs, such as pipe encasement,
insulation or isolation may be required where utilities are closer.
This may occur on sites containing in-place utilities that cannot
be feasibly relocated.
3.2.4.3.2 Utility companies should be contacted for special
requirements for utility separation beyond typical design values.
