Re: SUB - 2014 -00088 Belvedere Phase IIA -1 Final Plat
Dear Ms. Ray:
We have reviewed the final plat for Belvedere Phase IIA -1 dated August 9, 2013 with revisions
dated 9110113, 1214113, and 5123114 as submitted by Dominion Engineering and offer the
following comments:
1. Rather than having variable width right -of -way for Farrow Drive, it would be better to
continue a constant right -of -way width from intersection to intersection. The same is true
for the typical section of the proposed road.
2. The minimum width of the right -of -way for a road section 34' face of curb to face of curb
with street trees and sidewalk is 59'. This width is based on 34' face of curb to face of
curb, 1' to account for the curb width (6" on each side of the road), 12' for landscape
strips (6' on each side of the road), 10' for sidewalks (5' on each side of the road), and 2'
beyond the sidewalks (1' on each side of the road).
If you need additional information concerning this project, please do not hesitate to contact me at
(434) 589 -5871.
Sincerely,
F
