Re: SUB2021-079 Southwood Blocks 11 and 12- Road Plans
1. It is unclear which roads are being proposed with this plan and which roads are part of other Southwood road
plans. Indicate which roads are proposed and which are being reviewed/approved under other road plan
applications. Include the application number for the other roads. Please note, only improvements that are needed
for the road should be shown on the road plans. Landscaping, buildings, etc are not approved with the road plans.
2. Why is the road to access into Block 12 private? A private street request will need to be made and information
should be provided in accordance with 14-234 with the road plans. Please note, private roads are the exception
and a justification as to why it cannot be public must be made. A street is not required here since a subdivision for
lots is not occurring, could this be an accessway instead? If so, revise to state accessway instead of "street".
3. [32.5.7.9] Street trees cannot be placed on top of pipes. In addition, proposed easements may not permit trees
within them. It is difficult to determine since only the utilities and not the easements are shown on the landscape
plans. Show the utilities and easements so that it can be determined if the proposed landscaping is outside of the
easements and/or permitted within the easements.
4. Curb ramps and sidewalk connections should be provided to allow pedestrian access to the existing Southwood
to these blocks.
5. Sidewalks and street trees should be bonded prior to road plan approval.
