Re: SDP2013 -00044 Old Trail Village Block 1B & Block 3C
Dear Mr. Newberry:
We have reviewed the final site plan entitled Old Trail Village Block 1, Phase B & Block 3, Phase C dated July 1,
2013 with revisions dated September 27, 2013 as submitted by Roudabush, Gale & Associates, Inc. and offer the
following comments:
1. There is a note indicating that the radius of the entrance returns is 25' to the face of the curb. Does this
apply only to the entrances to block 113 and block 3C or is the intent that it would apply to the intersection
of Ashlar Avenue and Claremont Lane as well?
2. The storm sewer labeling from structure 23 to 21 does not appear to match the labeling in the storm sewer
pipe schedule.
3. It appears that the profile for the storm sewer from structure 16 to structure 4 has been left off of the site
plan.
4. The open cut repairs for Claremont Lane should be "squared up" and extend through the entire intersection
of Claremont and Ashlar all the way to the entrance shown to Block 1B off of Claremont Lane.
5. The typical sections shown on Sheet 7 of 14 should specify the station locations that each applies to.
6. From the typical sections and from the plan view of the development, it appears that a portion of the
sidewalks will be located within the right -of -way and a portion will be located outside of the right -of -way.
As such, I suggest the right -of -way being moved to V behind the curb and gutter and an easement provided
for the street trees and sidewalk. In addition, the requirements Appendix B(1) of the Road Design Manual,
section 4.I.5, Non - compliant Sidewalks, must be met.
7. All street trees need to be located at least 30' from the end of radii as shown in Appendix B(1) of the Road
Design Manual.
8. The pavement design calculations were not provided to me with this submittal.
If you need additional information concerning this project, please feel free to contact me.
