Re: SUB - 2014 -00136 Cascadia, Blocks 1 -3 Preliminary Plat
Dear Ms. Yaniglos:
We have reviewed the preliminary plat for Cascadia, Blocks l — 3 dated 811114 as submitted by Dominion
Engineering and offer the following comments:
1. The typical section for Meadow Lane is labeled as Meadow Drive.
2. The typical sections for the streets should be identified as either providing on- street parking or
not.
3. The pavement designs will need to be verified by pavement design calculations.
4. The proposed entrance to the commercial lot 120 does not appear to comply with the commercial
entrance design standards as identified in Appendix F of the Road Design Manual.
5. Can storm manhole 5 be replaced with a drop inlet and structure 6 eliminated?
6. Some of the drop inlets appear to be graphically drawn as DI -2 structures. These structures
should be DI -3 structures.
7. It appears that a section of storm sewer between structures 32 and 37 has been omitted from the
plan.
8. A minimum of 90: should be maintained between the upstream and downstream storm sewer
pipes at each structure. It appears that structure 17 should be shifted slightly to provide 90u at
structure 16.
9. As the road plans are developed and reviewed, there may be additional comments.
If you need additional information concerning this project, please do not hesitate to contact me at (434)
