Re: SDP -20I4 -00067
Dear Mr. Perez:
We have reviewed the Final Site plan for The Lofts at Meadow Creek, as submitted by W &W
Associates on 1019114, and offer the following comments:
1. Please correct the curb and gutter label at STA 11 +50 on Rio Road.
2. The minimum entrance radius is 25', please see appendix F of the Road Design
Manual.
3. Please add a note to nose down the curb at STA 07 +75 on Rio Road.
4. Please add a note stating that the relocated utility poles shall be set outside of the
clear -zone.
5. As mentioned in the Initial Site plan comments, additional detail, including spot
elevations, need to be provided at the SWM facility entrance. Please clarify the
transition from C &G to shoulder /roadside ditch. How will the additional runoff be
controlled now that there is concentrated flow coming down the gutter -pan?
6. The cross -slope at the main entrance is approx. 6.3 %. This should be within a 2 -3%
range.
7. Please provide additional spot elevations, along the C &G at the main entrance, to
ensure positive flow. Also, please consider a reversed curb on the south -side of the
entrance.
8. Why is STM STR #8 called out as a sump on the inlet computations? It does not
appear to be a sump condition on the profile.
9. Please provide the Asphalt Pavement Widening detail, WP -2.
10. The crosswalk located within the ROW should be shifted closer to Rio Road. The
stop bar should be a minimum of 4' behind the crosswalk.
11. The Crosswalk spacing between lines should be not less than 6 feet wide and the CG-
I2's should be located within the crosswalk markings.
12. Stop Bars and arrows should be Type, B Class 1 Thermoplastic. The remaining
pavement markings should be Type A (Latex) paint.
13. Please remove the proposed stop bar located in the left turn lane on Rio Road, approx.
STA 10 +50.
14. Please extend the left turn lane striping, approx. 10', to the entrance PC. However,
ensure that the striping does not interfere with the left turn movements exiting the
site.
15. The allowable lane closures along Rio Road are restricted to work hours from 8:00
pm thru 6:00 am.
16. Thank you for providing the MOT Notes, Narrative and Communications Plan. We
also request that you schematically show the placement of all traffic control devices
rather than referencing a typical traffic control standard.
17. Further discussion is required for the ROW dedication to accommodate the bus stop.
18. The dashed lines in front of the bus shop should be solid rather than dashed.
Hopefully this will help guide a driver away from entering the bus stop. Also in the
bus lane please include the word marking BUS ONLY.
If you need further information concerning this project, please do not hesitate to contact me
at (434) 422 -9373.
Sincerely,
