Re: SUB -2015-00189 Travis Liburn Bailey Subdivision
Dear Ms. Falkenstein,
We have reviewed the Travis Liburn Bailey Subdivision, as submitted by Meridian Planning Group, LLC,
dated October 20, 2015 and offer the following comments:
1. A private entrance may serve up to two private residences. The Department may require the
property owner to grade slopes, clear brush, remove trees, and conduct other similar efforts
necessary to provide the safest possible means of ingress and egress that can be reasonably
achieved.
2. If a parcel has the potential for additional development rights (additional residences) the
existing entrance should be upgraded to accommodate the increase in trips. For example if the
southern entrance was to have a total of 5 residences then the entrance shall meet the stopping
distance requirements. If the same entrance was to have a total of 6 residences then the
entrance should be upgraded to meet commercial entrance standards and shall meet the
intersection sight distance requirements. If an entrance cannot meet the necessary
stopping/intersection sight distance requirements then we do not recommend the increase in
residences.
If you need further information concerning this project, or if you wish to schedule a meeting, please do
not hesitate to contact me at (434) 422-9894.
Sincerely,
Shelly A. Plaster
Land Development Engineer
