Justin: After siting entrances making sure Sight Distances are met, we typically add the distances
based on State of VT B-71 and the posted Speed limit to the Plans.
In this case, the posted Speed Limit is 25 mph and the resulting B-71 standard for Intersection Sight
Distance is 280 feet. The Plan attached to yesterdays e-mail is a “Preliminary” progress plan but does
include the 280’ notations and sight lines for the 280 feet.
As you know, Intersection Sight Distance is a convenience factor for the Main Road (Park Road in this
case) with stopping sight distance being the safety distance, which is 155 feet at the posted speed
limit of 25 mph.
The proposed Roads are Private and the H.O.A. documents will include this information. We
certainly agree that the future approval (Preliminary and Final) conditions, include conditions that
the streets are Private. Thank you for your prompt reply and best of luck in your future endeavors.
Our office has certainly enjoyed working with you over the years.

Hello David,
I am good with this layout as proposed. Throughout the process it should be continually mentioned
these are to be private streets and I’d like to see that stated in the DRB’s approval as well.
You state below that, “the sight distances in both directions from both entrances will meet and/or
exceed intersection sight distance standards.” Can you please ‘show the math’ on this so to speak so
we can have it on the record.
Thank you,
Justin Rabidoux, Director of Public Works

Thank you Justin.
We need to submit the Park Road project for “Preliminary” by February 3rd to not revert back to
Sketch Plan, so much appreciated. But, now that I know your still there, you may recall we have two
short Private cul-de-sacs (see attached). The upper one serves 8 Units and is directly across from the
upper approved entrance for the Blackrock project and the lower one serves 6 Units. At the Sketch
level discussion included whether one access could work and the separation between the two roads.
The number of Units off a Private Road, Geometry, north/south ledge above the lower road, a 12’
elevation drop and the fact that the Court settlement approved 15 Units for this parcel (we can only
fit 14) preclude a single access. In general, I recall and recent review of the minutes suggest that the
majority of the Board accepted these reasons along with the low number of Units being served by
each Private Road. Since Sketch we have increased the separation between the two entrances to
133’ and per the attached the sight distances in both directions from both entrances will meet
and/or exceed intersection sight distance standards.
While the separation is not ideal, due to the above and the low number of Units / low traffic and the
fact that nearly all turning movements will be right hand turns into both roads and left hand turns
out (upper Blackrock entrance will also be to and from Dorset Street) we do not see a safety concern
with the proposal.
Could you please consider the above and attached and provide comment? Thank you in advance and
please call if you have any questions / need additional information.
David

Hi Justin / Tom,
We’re preparing our Preliminary Plan application for 1170 & 1180 Dorset Street and are seeking
Preliminary Water / Wastewater Allocation. Please see attached Allocation Application request.
The proposal is for 14 – 4 Bedroom Single Family homes with connections to municipal water and
sewer. I attached our Sketch Plan for your reference.
We’re are planning on submitting our Preliminary Plan to the City by the end of January. Please Let
me know if you have any questions on the attached.
Thanks,
Dan
