RE: Response Letter #2 for SDP202100008 Proffit Road Townhomes South— Final Site Plan
Dear Howard,
Thank you for your review of the Final Site Plan for Proffit Road Townhomes South. This letter contains
responses to County comments dated September 16, 2021. Our responses are as follows:
Thank you for providing me dimensions Tor Road C:
1. Dead ends longer than 150ft must be provided with an approved turn around suitable to
accommodate fire apparatus. Your note # 3 in correspondence addressed to me, dated September
10, 2021 states the dimensions for Road B (Brindle Lane) were added, but the length of the dead
end is not presented on the plans dated September 10, 2021:
Comment addressed with Road Plan Application.
a. You add a comment to the correspondence in note 44 that states no roads are longer than 150
feet. You mention in this comment the access on Proffit Road for lots 1- 6 and the ease of
access, which is appreciated.
Comment addressed with Road Plan Application.
b. You also indicate that lots 9- 15 are accessed from Brindle Lane and are in the 150 feet
requirement. Brindle Lane is the fire apparatus access road for lots 9- 15 and it dead ends.
The dead end appears longer than 150 feet (it is the road not the access to the building lot line
that governs. This is to facilitate the need to turn apparatus around for fire operations, such as
providing connection to the hydrants or protecting exposures or emergency evacuation).
Comment addressed with Road Plan Application.
c. In comparison to other dead ends on the plans, Road B, Brindle Lane, has a dead end and it
appears longer than 150 ft.
Comment addressed with Road Plan Application.
d. Please clarify the length of the road (Brindle Lane) on the plans and if longer than 150 feet,
address the apparatus turn around with a suitable turn around (the current spur on the end of
the round is not sufficient).
Comment addressed with Road Plan Application.
