Subject:RE: SD-22-05, SP-22-008 & CU-22-01 O'Brien Hillside - technical review
Marla,
Thank you for the opportunity to comment on these applications. My comments are:
I recommend that the DRB invoke a technical review of the traffic impacts, proposed driveway
locations, and proposed pedestrian crossings. The technical reviewer should look at all aspects related
to intersection design and safety, but specifically:
o Review the location of the proposed driveway access on O’brien Farm Road. Ensure that it will
have required sight distances considering the future intersection. Also confirm that it will be
placed an appropriate distance away from any future intersection with Old Farm Road.
o Review the layout of the two proposed driveway accesses on Two Brothers Drive. Confirm that
they have required site distance and are located an appropriate distance from intersections.
o It was my understanding that a pedestrian crossing would be provided on Two Brother Drive.
Provide review of the location selected by the applicant once provided.
o Determine the need for a signalized intersection at Two Brothers Drive and Kennedy Drive. It
was my understanding that a new signal would be installed at this location.
If the project hasn’t already obtained a wastewater allocation from the City it will need to do so.
Revise the typical catch basin / storm manhole / sanitary manhole details as follows: At the frame
installation on the top of the structure we do not want asphalt on top of concrete. This thin layer of
asphalt would break away and can’t be maintained in place. The frame should be mortared or secured
in place with mastic to the top of the structure. Compacted plant mix should be placed above that,
with 5 inches of pavement (base and top course) on top of that.
Thank you for the opportunity to provide comments.
