From: Glenn Brooks, Current Development engineering review
Date: 16 May 2006
Subject: Pavillion at Pantops, phase 2 (SDP200600042)
The preliminary site plan for townhomes on Pantops at Luxor has been reviewed. The plan will be
recommended for preliminary approval when the following comments are satisfactorily addressed;
1. The existing topography needs to be updated. The plan is incorrect. [18- 32.5.6r, 18- 32.5.6d]
2. A waiver to develop on critical slopes is required. [18 -4.2]
3. The existing features on the plan need to be clarified and shown accurately. For example, the roads
are not existing, but are under construction. [I8- 32.5.6n]
4. The conceptual stormwater management layout and preliminary information are in need of revision to
address the following concerns. [18- 32.5.6k, 17 -303, DSM503A]
a. The forebay next to Verona Drive appears to be overtaxed and would not meet the forebay sizing
criteria of the state manual. Some of the site drainage and pipe system needs to be redirected to
the upper forebay.
b. The approved stormwater management plan shows some of the site area as one -half acre lots. This
plan is an increase in impervious cover, and the approved stormwater plan and computations will
need to be updated.
c. Vehicle access to the upper forebay is being removed with this plan, and needs to be replaced.
2. The drainage from Westminster Canterbury and the upper watershed needs to be accommodated in the
drainage system on this plan. An easement through to the basin over an adequately sized pipe system,
and an overland relief route must be provided. [18- 32.7.3, 14 -410]
3. It appears site distance easements will be required for the parking spaces along the inside curves of the
roadways in front of lots 11, 92 and 23. [18- 32.7.2, 18- 32.7.3]
4. It appears the retaining wall in front of lot 18 needs to be moved back to accommodate the clear zone
of the roadway. [18- 32.7.2, 17- 32.7.3]
The final site plan will need to be accompanied by final private road plans, erosion control plans, and an
updated stormwater management plan.
