Re: SDP - 2013 -00036 Northtown, Phase II -A — Minor Amendment
Dear Ms. Ray:
We have reviewed the Site Plan Amendment for Northtown Phase II -A dated 6111113 with
revisions dated 7115113 as submitted by Collins Engineering and offer the following comments:
1. All previous review comments have been adequately addressed.
2. It is noted that new guard rail is proposed along Route 29 in the vicinity of the Biofilter.
A Land Use Permit will be required for the installation of the proposed guard rail. As
part of the permitting process, we will evaluate the warrants for the proposed guard rail to
determine if this is an appropriate installation location. Guard rail can actually become a
hazard itself and certain criteria must be met before new guard rail will be allowed.
If you need additional information concerning this project, please feel free to contact me.
Sincerely,
Troy Austin, P.E.
Area Land Use Engineer
