Re: SUB -2014 -00094 Foothills Crossing II — Preliminary Plat
Dear Ms. Falkenstein:
We have reviewed the preliminary subdivision plat for Foothills Crossing II dated 619114 as submitted by Collins
Engineering and offer the following comments:
1. The sight lines are shown on the preliminary plat, however the distances should be included also.
2. It appears that the street trees on the north side of Park Ridge Drive to the east of Newport Street may
interfere with the sight distance at Newport Street.
3. All street trees should be located a minimum of 30' from the end of radius at each intersection in
accordance with Appendix B(1) of the Road Design Manual. This can be addressed during road plan
review.
4. As designed, Newport Street to the north of Park Ridge Drive would need to be a private road due to the
lack of an adequate turnaround and the perpendicular parking at the tot lot.
5. Street intersections, public or private, should be perpendicular to each other.
6. The minimum radii at each intersection should be 25'.
7. Maryland Street and the private alley on the opposite side of Park Ridge Drive should be aligned with each
other.
8. The typical section for an Avenue in the Crozet Masterplan shows accommodations for bicycle travel,
however the typical sections shown in the preliminary plat does not address this issue.
9. The Typical Neighborhood Street Section (57' R/W) indicates parking on one side of the street. Neither
the typically section nor the plan view indicates which side of the streets will be used for on street parking.
Please note that on street parking may interfere with available sight distance.
10. The asphalt paving design provided will be verified during road plan review.
11. Based on the Crozet Masterplan, Park Ridge Drive would need to connect to Hill Top Street. There
appears to be a parcel of land that is owned by the Parkside Village HOA that would prevent this
connection without the support of the HOA,
If additional information is needed concerning this project, please do not hesitate to contact me at (434) 422 -9782.

Troy Pustin, P.E.
