Re: SDP - 2015 -00050 Hollymead Town Center, Block D1, D2 & C2 Apartments Initial Site Plan
Dear Ms. Ray,
We have reviewed the initial site plan for Hollymead Town Center Blocks D1, D2 & C2 dated
10/5/15 as submitted by Collins Engineer and offer the following comments:
1. The entrance closest to Towncenter Drive should be aligned with the entrance on the
opposite side of Meeting Street.
2. The entrances off of Meeting Street need to be in accordance with the commercial
entrance standards as - indicated in Appendix F of the Road Design Manual.
3. On- street parking that is located within the sight line triangle needs to be removed. This
appears to be a problem with each of the proposed entrances shown. However, the sight
line triangle should be 14.5' from the edge of the nearest automobile through lane. This
adjustment should help correct some of the conflict currently shown with the sight line.
4. There is a note that the CG -6 will transition to CG -2. This transition should not occur in
the radius of the entrance and should be in the throat section.
If additional information is needed concerning this project, please do not hesitate to contact me at
(434) 422 -9782.
Sincerely,
i
