Re: SUB -2015-00149 Avinity Estates Road Plans
Dear Mr. Anderson:
We have reviewed the road plans for Avinity Estates, dated December 7, 2015, as submitted by Collins
Engineering and offer the following comments:
1. Previous Contntent: "The pr oposed emergency access, off Route 20, does not appear to be
entirely located within the property boundary. The existing entrance should either be re-
located within the property boundary or necessary easements shall be obtained front Kappa
Signa Fraternity to allow access. "
2. The pavement design for the emergency access turn lane and taper should be provided. The
pavement section should meet or exceed Route 20's pavement section.
3. Previous Connntent: "SWMfacility B outfalls into the existing ditch on Route 20.
Demonstrate that the existing ditch is adequately lined to prevent erosion for the 2 year storm
event and that it can convey the 10 year storm event (below the edge of the existing roadway
shoulder) with a check of the 25 year to ensure the travel lane is not inundated. Also,
demonstrate that the existing culvert under the Kappa Signta entrance can handle the
increase in nrnoff, " The WPO plan and/or necessary computations were not included in
this submittal. We are unable to determine if this comment has been addressed.
If you need further information concerning this project please do not hesitate to contact me at (434) 422-
9894.
