RE: SUB 2008 -54 Hyland Ridge (AKA Lake Ridge) — Final Subdivision Plat
Dear Mr. Lancaster,
We have been discussing the design standards for Fontana Drive that will serve Hyland Ridge. I have
reviewed the files for SUB 2006 — 163 Lake Ridge Preliminary Subdivision Plat. The preliminary plat shows
on the cover page that Fontana Drive Extended will have a right of way of 54 feet with 5 foot sidewalks and 6
foot tree lawns and 0.5 foot buffers. I have also found a letter from David Jensen written in response to
County comments. That letter, dated February 26, 2007 states in part "Fontana Drive has been increased
from 50 feet to 54 feet right -of -way to accommodate a 30 foot wide roadway from face of curb to face of curb
with a 5' wide sidewalk, 6 foot wide tree lawn and 0.5 foot buffer on each side of the roadway. Per our
meeting with Joel DeNunzio this roadway may be reduced from 36 feet to 30 feet provided that no on- street
parking is allowed and appropriated signage is provided. The detail on the cover sheet has been revised to
denote the requirement to provide no parking signage."
The planting strip may be reduced in width in area of transition to between rural cross - section and urban
cross - section streets. Reference 14- 422(d). This reduction could only be permitted only in the immediate area
of the intersection of Fontana Drive and Fontana Court/Verona Drive. This transition area would be very
limited. While no specific request has been submitted or considered it would likely be approved for only 20-
30 feet at most from the intersection of those roads. If you want to reduce the planting width in any other
area of Fontana Drive you will need to seek a modification from the Planning Commission as is permitted by
Section 14- 422(f).
If you have any questions please feel free to contact me.
Sincerely,
William D. Fritz, AICP
