Re: SDP - 2014 -60 Willow Glen
Dear Ms. Baldwin:
We have reviewed the Minor Site Plan Amendment for Willow Glen, Phase 2 dated January 21,
2014 as submitted by Steve Edwards and offer the following comments:
1. Good access management practice minimizes the number of entrances on any given
roadway. We would recommend that the single family lots along Heathrow Glen Circle
continue to use shared entrances. Where possible, it would be good practice for the
townhouse units to use shared entrances as well.
2. The entrance shown to Lot 40 is very close to the intersection of Heathrow Glen Circle
and Shannon Glen Court. It may prove difficult for a vehicle traveling from Shannon
Glen Court to this parcel to make this turning movement without crossing into the
opposing lane.
3. Storm sewer should cross the public roads perpendicularly. An additional structure may
be needed near the property line between Lots 74I and 74J to allow the storm sewer to
cross Prestwick Glen Drive perpendicularly.
4. It is unclear to us whether the road plans and/or site plan for this development have
previously been approved. Please advise to the status of prior approvals.
If you need additional infonnation concerning this project, please feel free to contact me.
Sincerely,
Troy ustin, P.E.
