Re: SUB - 2014 -00063 Fontana Phase 4C — Preliminary Plat
Dear Mr. Perez:
We have reviewed the preliminary plat for Fontana, Phase 4C dated 11!21108 with revisions
dated 12116108, 4/28/10, 8/13/10, 314111, 8110,112, 112113, 417114, and 6/4!14 as submitted by
Terra Engineering and Land Solutions, PC and offer the following comments:
1. As previously noted and acknowledged, storm sewer calculations, open channel
calculations, storm sewer profiles, and pavement design calculations need to be provided
for review. Approval of this preliminary plat will by no means be an approval for road
and storm sewer /drainage channel design.
2. As vehicles currently park along similar streets elsewhere within the surrounding
neighborhood, we anticipate vehicles to park along the streets shown on this preliminary
plat. As such, we recommend the typical sections to be designed accordingly.
3. The intersection sight distance is shown to be 200'. The required intersection sight
distance for these roads based on a speed limit of 25 mph is actually 280'.
4. I am not sure that I agree that the second storm sewer line is necessary, however, if it is to
be installed, this second storm sewer should be located entirely outside of the dedicated
right -of -way.
If you need additional information concerning this project, please do not hesitate to contact me at
