Re: SUB -2015 -00173 Foothill Crossing Phase VI Preliminary Plat
Dear Ms. Falkenstein,
We have reviewed the Foothill Crossing Phase VI Preliminary Plat, dated of October 5, 2015, as submitted by
Collins Engineering, and offer the following comments:
1. A signature on each sheet by a professional engineer is necessary or the plans should be clearly
marked "Preliminary". Future resubmittals that have not been signed/marked preliminary will be
returned un- reviewed.
2. Additional detail showing the tie in at the intersection of Cranberry Lane and Indigo Road will be
required for the site plan/road plan review.
3. Diagonal curb ramps are not recommended for new construction. They should be perpendicular to the
streets.
4. The intersection radii, cul -de -sac radii and centerline radii should be labeled.
5. Street intersections should be perpendicular to each other and dimensioned. Le.: Intersection of
Crimson Street and Indigo Road.
6. It appears that the proposed street trees on Indigo Road, to the cast of Crimson Street, may interfere
with the sight distance.
7. The sight distance line (looking right) for the existing aIIey entrance (west side, future lot 63), should
be provided.
8. The sight distance line (looking left) for Cranberry Lane should also be provided.
9. A temporary cul -de -sac should be provided on Mesquite Street.
10. The proposed asphalt pavement design will be verified during the road plan review.
11. Flanking inlets should be provided at intersections where flow is approaching the main line. Le.:
Crimson Street and Indigo Road.
If you need further information concerning this project, or wish to schedule a meeting, please do not hesitate to
