Re: SDP - 2014 -00015 Commonwealth Townhouses
Dear Ms. Baldwin:
We have reviewed the site plan entitled "Site Plan Amendment for Commonwealth Office
Building" dated 10. -9/14 with revisions dated 12/1!14 as submitted by Shimp Engineering, P.C.
and offer the following comments:
1. What is the purpose of the "New Doghouse MH" shown in Commonwealth Drive? It
appears that the new sewer connection will be made to the existing sanitary sewer
manhole.
2. Enough detail should be provided to verify the available sight distance. The road section
is not shown at the extent of the sight lines and grades have not been shown for the entire
sight line.
3. It should be noted that the width of the entrance is measured at the PT of the entrance
radius which may or may not be at the right -of -way Iine. By this definition, the width of
this entrance is actually 24' rather than 30'.
4. A maintenance of traffic (MOT) plan needs to be included to address how traffic will be
maintained during the construction of the entrance as well as during connection to the
water and sewer lines.
If you need additional information concerning this project, please do not hesitate to contact me at
(434) 422 -9782.
