Re: SDP- 2014 -00043 and SUB - 2014 -00185 Riverside Village
Dear Ms. Ray:
We have reviewed the Riverside Village Final Site Development Plan; latest revisions dated
December 9, 2014, as submitted by Shimp Engineering, and offer the following comments:
1. The entrance onto Trailside Drive, approx. station 15 +23, should be called out as a CG-
1 1 rather than a CG -7. Also CG -12's should be provided at this location.
2. A stop sign should be provided at south alley coming onto Trailside Drive. Also is
Riverwalk Xing to be used as one way similar to the North Alley?
3. A future stub out street sign should be provided at the end of Trailside Drive. The sign
specifications can be found in the SSAR Guidance Document.
4. The barrier proposed at the entrance along Trailside Drive, approx. station 11 +56, should
be a type III barricade in accordance with the latest VWAPM.
5. The stone monument signs should be located outside of a public drainage easement or
ROW.
6. The grading, at approx. station 15 +23, appears to be drawn as if there is C &G is this the
intent? Additional spot elevations may be necessary to ensure positive drainage.
7. Additional spots at the PC's and PT's may be beneficial and ensure positive drainage.
8. Station labels on the site sheets would be helpful.
9. FYI Sheets C13 -C19 titles state Initial Site Plan.
10. The guardrail details that need to be shown are 501.04 and 501.05. 1 do not feel the GR-
FOA-1 detail that is referenced is necessary.
11. A note should be added to the Striping and Signage Plan stating that the striping and
signage shall be in accordance with the latest revisions of the MUTCD.
12. The crosshatch markings at approx. station 12 +50 -16 +00 and 24 +00 -27 +00 on Rt. 20 are
going the wrong direction.
13. Recommend adding a thru arrow at approx. station 12 +87 (Rt. 20)
14. The stop bars in the turn lanes should be removed.
15. A stop bar should be added behind the crosswalk (the intersection of Trailside Drive and
Rt. 20)
16. UD -4's shall be required on both sides of a crowned road. See details.
17. When the borrow material is placed, in order to widen Rt. 20, soil tests will need to be
taken to ensure that the pavement design is adequate. Also, the typical section will need
to meet or exceed the existing pavement on Rt. 20.
18. The following note should be added to the plans: The borrow material, necessary for the
improvements along Rt. 20, shall be taken from an approved source or soils test shall be
provided prior to placement.
19. The storm profile for A13-Al2 appears to be missing.
20. The HGL for storm structure B2 appears to be missing.
21. The inlet computation for storm structure D7 appears to be missing.
22. Storm run D3B -D3A pipe lengths on the profile do not appear to match the computations.
23. The inverts, on the profiles, for runs D2B -D2A and D2A -D2 do not appear to match the
computations.
24. Once the remaining soil samples are received I will verify the pavement design.
25. It is understood the MOT will be submitted as soon as possible. Thank you.
I am available if you wish to schedule a meeting to discuss the comments. Please do not hesitate
