Subject: SUB -2015-00100 Free State Run
We have reviewed the road plans for Free State Run dated 3/10/15 with latest revision of 11/19/15 and offer the
following comments:
1. It is our understanding that the county is working with the developer of Belvedere to resolve the issue of the
potential spite strip in Free State Road. Our understanding is that this is tied to proffers for Belvedere, but we
would also recommend that the right-of-way be resolved prior to approval of the final plat for Free State Run.
2. The current proposed grading along the north side of Free State Road will not allow for the addition of a
sidewalk in the future. We recommend that the retaining wall and proposed grading be revised such that a
sidewalk along Free State Road could be added in the future.
3. The curb cut shown at the intersection of Free State Road and Free State Drive does not appear to be located at
the low point in the intersection. The curb cut should be relocated and spot elevations provided to ensure that
runoff will drain from the intersection and not pond within it.
If you need additional information concerning this project, please do not hesitate to contact me.
