Subject: Old Trail Village Block 23 Final Plat (SUB- 2011 - 00063)
Engineering review can recommend approval to the easement plat after the following comments have been
addressed:
1. It is my understanding that this plat is a final before preliminary plat and must pay fees for both the
final and preliminary subdivision plat applications per 14- 203.B.3.
2. This plat cannot be signed until the Subdivision (Road, Water, and Sewer) and the Erosion and
sediment control bonds are posted and the Pro -rata share for the Lickinghole basin is paid. At this
time, the ESC and Road plans have not been approved. The Lickinghole basin fee will be
computed for the subdivision once the road plans are approved. I recommend that the applicant
request deferral of this application until the ESC and Road plans are approved.
3. If public drainage easements are needed outside of the ROW, a deed of dedication and easement
will need to be recorded with the plat. The deed of easement will need to be approved by the
County Attorney's office. It appears that public drainage easements will be needed on the storm
sewer system from Golf Drive to the Stormwater Facility.
4. The drainage easement from Pennywell Lane to Golf Drive must be called out as private.
5. The drainage system around lots 24 and 17 need a private easement on them for maintenance.
6. Do the temporary turnarounds recorded with the Block 13A need to be vacated with this plat?
7. The turnaround at the end of Pennywell Drive will need to be platted. The dimensions of this
turnaround will be reviewed with the road plan. It looks to be too small.
8. A utility easement is shown through lots 18, 24, and 14 -17. Does this easement need to be vacated
in order for these lots to be buildable?
9. Has the ROW for Golf Drive on 55E -I -F been dedicated to the public? The plat is not clear.
10. Per Proffer 7, before this plat can be approved, an overlot grading plan will need to be reviewed
and approved by engineering. Because grading appears on the road plans, the overlot grading
review will coincide with review of the road plans. After a brief, incomplete review of the grading
plan (Sheet S -1), I have the following comments:
a. The overlot grading plan will need to show all building footprints, porches, walkways, etc.
in order to be reviewed. (Proffer 7A) Please note that no slope steeper than 10% shall
exist around building entrances unless stairways are provided. (Proffer 7I)
b. Driveways must be no steeper than 8%. It looks as though a few lots, most notably lot 17,
do not meet this standard. Please provide two spot elevations at both ends of the driveway
where the driveway pavement meets the alley. (Proffer 7A and Proffer 7H)
c. Water must drainage away from all buildings. Surface drainage may flow across up to
three lots before being collected into a storm sewer or directed to a drainage way outside
of the lots.
11. A complete review of the drainage easements and ROW widths and dimensions will not be
reviewed until the road plan is approved. Additional comments may be necessary.
