Re: SDP - 2015 -00020 Inglewood Terrace - Initial Site Plan
Dear Mr. Perez:
We have reviewed the Initial site plan for Inglewood Terrace, with the latest revision date of October 15, 2015, as
submitted by Shimp Engineering and offer the following comments:
I . Previous comment: "We recommend a YIELD sign on Inglewood Court to create a smooth through
movement and efficient operation ". Our Traffic section feels that a YIELD sign should be added on
Inglewood Court rather than Inglewood Drive as shown. The plan should be revised accordingly.
2. Previous comment:" Since the private street is proposed within an existing public right -of -way (ROW) we
recommend vacating a portion of the ROW to the intersection of Inglewood Drive and Inglewood Court ".
The limits of the ROW appear to not have been changed and the intent remains unclear. The limits of the
proposed Public ROW line should be clearly shown on the plans.
3. Previous comment: "Intersection sight lines should be shown at the intersection and a sight distance profile
should be provided ". Noted: The engineer is waiting on a more detailed survey before responding,
however, adequate sight distance should be verified, for Inglewood Court, at this stage of review.
4. Previous comment: "Additional detail should be provided at the intersection of Inglewood Court and
Inglewood Drive ". For example: Additional survey information should be provided for the other side of
Inglewood Court for the placement of the YEILD sign and in order to verify adequate line of sight.
Additional detail should also be shown on the east side of Inglewood Drive. How will the proposed private
street transition into Inglewood Drive when it is wider than 20'.
5. Additional comments concerning the storm sewer, pavement etc. will be generated during the final
submittal.
If you need additional information concerning this project, please do not hesitate to contact me at (434) 422 -9894.
Sincerely,
