(a) If all feasible routes to a requested terminal are found unsatisfactory by the Department the applicant shall be notified of the modifications necessary to eliminate a traffic hazard, as referred to in Sec. 80.33.5 herein or to protect existing facilities. The applicant may request the necessary modifications to make the route acceptable. All costs of engineering, construction and inspection will be the responsibility of the applicant. Except when the modification of deficiencies is within the jurisdiction of Caltrans, the actual construction will be done at no cost to the City by a contractor acceptable to it.
(b) Modifications shall be limited to the reconstruction of curbed islands, curb returns and appurtenant structures; relocation of above-ground fixtures such as traffic signs, traffic signal standards, traffic signal controllers, street light standards and fire hydrants within the curb return area; and intersection approach markings together with traffic signal detection devices. Required modifications shall not include reconstruction of any pavement or street surface not related to the above.
(c) When the work is done by the applicant, the applicant may file with the Department on a form satisfactory to the Department, a statement detailing the actual costs of the modification. It shall be the applicant’s responsibility to obtain all the necessary permits.
(d) If at any time within five (5) years from the date of completion of the modification by the applicant, should any other applicant seek terminal approval which would use the route upon which such modification was accomplished, any such applicant’s fee may include that applicant’s proportionate share of the modification, as determined by the Department, which fee shall be disbursed by the Department to the applicant who paid for the modification as well as to any applicant who contributed to the cost of the modification under this subsection. Nothing herein shall require the payment of a proportionate fee if the applicant doing the work failed to file the report with the Department required by Subsection (b) above.
The Department may revoke any approved terminal, or route, if the terminal, or route, becomes a traffic hazard, which cannot be modified to the satisfaction of the Department, pursuant to Sec. 80.33.4, for vehicular traffic or if there is a failure to pay the fee provided for in Section 80.33.3 of this Code. A traffic hazard includes the inability of interstate trucks to negotiate the route or said vehicles causing unsafe traffic conditions for other vehicular traffic or pedestrians. If the Department should revoke any approved terminal, or route, it may, in its discretion, designate an alternate route.
(a) If the Department denies terminal designation, route feasibility or revokes a previously approved terminal or route, the applicant/terminal owner, within fifteen (15) working days following the date of receipt of the decision of the Department, may appeal said decision to the Board in writing. An appeal shall be made on a form prescribed by the Department and shall be filed with the Board. The appeal shall state specifically wherein there was an error or abuse of discretion by the Department or wherein its decision is not supported by the evidence in the record. Within fifteen (15) working days of the filing of an appeal, the Department shall transmit to the Secretary of the Board the terminal application, the sketches of the proposed or revoked route and all other data filed therewith, the report and decision of the Department on the application.
(b) The Board shall make copies of the data provided by the Department available to the applicant and to the appellant (if the applicant is not the appellant) for inspection and may give notice to any other interested party who requested notice of the time when the appeal will be considered by the Board.
(c) If Caltrans, and not the Department, denies, or revokes, terminal access from federally designated highways, no appeal may be made to the Board, but must be made to Caltrans as may be permitted by Caltrans.
