Re: SUB - 2016 -00015 Foothill Crossing Phase VI Road Plans
Dear Mr. Wentland,
We have reviewed the Foothill Crossing Phase VI Road Plans, dated of January 4, 2016, as
submitted by Collins Engineering, and offer the following comments:
I . A signature on each sheet by a professional engineer is necessary or the plans should be
clearly marked "Preliminary". This is a recurring comment and future submittals that
have not been signed.'marked preliminary will be returned un- reviewed.
2. The existing right-of-way should be clearly labeled and graphically identified as well as
the location of existing utilities within the existing right -of -way.
3. All existing and proposed easements within or immediately adjacent to state maintained
right -of -way should be identified and include the use, legal reference and bearings and
distances.
4. Additional detail showing the tie in at the intersection of Cranberry Lane and Indigo
Road should be provided. I.e.: demo of pavement? Also, the proposed sidewalk does not
accurately depict the existing conditions.
5. Diagonal curb ramps are not recommended for new construction. The CG -12 details, on
sheet 6, should be updated to reflect the latest revision.
6. The sidewalk cross -slope should be labeled on the typical road section.
7. Street intersections should be perpendicular to each other. I.e.: Intersection of Crimson
Street and Indigo Road.
S. The intersection angle, cul -de -sac radii and centerline should be labeled.
9. The offset from the edge of travel way, and centerline offset should be provided for the
intersection sight line triangles.
10. The sight distance line (looking left) for Cranberry Lane should also be provided.
11. Additional spot elevations should be provided, along the curb radii at the intersection of
Indigo Road and Crimson Street to ensure positive drainage. I.e.: There is a potential flat
spot within the curb return at approx. 12 +00 on Indigo Road.
12. Flanking inlets should be provided at intersections where flow is approaching the main
line. I.e.: Crimson Street and Indigo Road.
13. "No parking ", "Stop" signs etc. should be identified on the plans and have the MUTCD
sign label reference included
14. The angle between each upstream pipe and downstream pipe at each drainage structure
should be provided.
15. The design speed for Indigo Road and Crimson Street should be identified on the Road
Profiles, sheet 8.
16. At intersections a landing, having a minimum of 50' in length and a maximum vertical
grade of 2% should be provided. It appears that Crimson Street meets this requirement;
however, the labeling should be revised accordingly, sheet 8
17. The stonnwater management plan and the erosion and sediment control plan should be
submitted for review. This may be submitted separately.
18. A Maintenance of Traffic Plan (MOT) will be required. It may be submitted separately.
