Common use of Frontage Improvements Clause in Contracts

Frontage Improvements. The STATE may request, as a condition of Development Approval, that frontage improvements (e.g., curb, gutter, sidewalk, paved shoulder and associated roadway widening) be constructed along the development’s frontage on the State facility as mitigation measures, consistent with the following: a. Frontage improvements shall be based upon identified impacts to the State transportation system, shall conform to State construction specifications, shall be approved by the STATE, and shall be timely completed in accordance with [ ] regulation. b. The STATE may require that frontage improvement mitigation be constructed as full standard, interim, or minimum, based upon engineering reasons, which are outlined under Section c below. When an engineering reason precludes the construction of full standard frontage improvements, interim or minimum frontage improvements may be required. Interim frontage improvements shall be determined by the STATE and the [ ]. Minimum frontage improvements shall consist of paved driveway aprons at each access point along the development’s frontage, and where necessary, a shoulder shall be constructed for ten feet along the departure side of the driveway to provide a refuge area for pedestrians and/or a pullout area for service vehicles. The shoulder shall be up to eight feet wide, as determined by the STATE and the [ ], and shall include a 3:1 paved transition taper which, where necessary, will be constructed beyond the development’s frontage as right of way allows.
