Re: SDP - 2015 -00006 Sunset Overlook Initial Site Plan
Dear Mr. Perez:
We have reviewed the initial site plan Sunset Overlook, latest revision date of September 10, 2015, as
submitted by Shimp Engineering and offer the following comments:
1. Previous comment: Right and left turn lane warrants need to be provided for review.
2. Streets "B" and "C" need to be designed in accordance with the detail for a "Commercial
Entrance To Serve A Private Road/Street" as shown in Appendix F of the Road Design Manual.
Most notably, the widths of the roads need to be a minimum of 24' as shown in the detail. The
entrance radii should also be labeled.
3. Previous continent: The curbing shown on this plan appears to be drawn as CG -2. The curbing
should be CG -6.
4. Sheet C12:
a. Line of sight easements should be shown.
b. Each private street should be labeled on plan view.
5. Storm sewer. "Culvert profiles and calculations shall be provided during the Road Plan/Final Site
plan submittal.
6. Typical sections for the roadways shall be provided during the Road Plan/Final Site plan
submittal.
7. Pavement design calculations shall meet or exceed Sunset Ave. Extended.
