From: Christopher P. Perez, Senior Planner
Division: Planning
Date: February 8, 2018
Subject: SUB2017-102 Hyland Park - Road Plan
1. [ZMA2004-18] Cascadia/Fontana Connector. As discussed in Megan's email dated 11-1-2017, the goal
for your development is to have an emergency access connection with the full right-of-way dedication,
however not bond the full public road, which is what was approved on the Cascadia side.
In order to accomplish this, you will need to request a 14-409(D) exception for the extension requirement.
As a part of this request, the design will need to be 20' emergency access with bollards, built within the
publicly dedicated right-of-way. This emergency access will need to connect to where Cascadia's ends to
make it a full emergency access connection. These will be conditions of approval of the exception request.
A bond for the full public road will not be required.
Hopefully, the grading for this smaller section will not require any easements on Cascadia's side and can be
built within the existing right-of-way. You will need to update your road plans to reflect this design section.
This is the minimum design standard we will accept. If one of your goals is to have a design that does not
necessitate getting an easement from Cascadia, a retaining wall may be required on your side. You will need
to weigh the cost of the retaining wall vs. obtaining an easement from Cascadia should it be needed.
REV 3: Your Section 14-409(Dl exception reauest has been approved by the aeent. The desiLwn
criteria mentioned above and depicted/approved on the road plan are the conditions of approval for
the exception.
2. [Comment] Please update the road plans to reflect the new parcel boundaries and construction easements as
approved on SUB2017-108. Additionally, on the plans please provide deed book page reference
information for the easements and dedication. REV 3: Comment addressed.
3. [Comment] Planning has no further comments on the road plan; however, this review did not encompass
nor certify, nor validate the revised lot layouts as depicted on the revised road plan. The preliminary plat,
which is currently differed until May 12018, shall be resubmitted for staff review/approval for such
consideration/review/action.
