Subject:RE: DRB comments due 6/9/23 - final plat for 7 duplexes on 2 private roads, 1170 &
1180 Dorset St.
Marty,
I’d like to offer the following comments on this applicaon:
· Please confirm appropriate sight distances for proposed crosswalk.
· Install pedestrians warning signs on both sides of sign posts to improve visibility.
· There is no sidewalk between this project and golf course road to the east. I recall discussion of this sidewalk
connecon in the past. Is anyone currently responsi ble for construcon of this sidewalk and when will it be put
in place?
· Was there a discussion of adding sidewalk from this project to Dorset St. on the south side of park road?
· Install stop signs on side streets.
· Sheet #3 is very busy and difficult to read.
· Based on the plat, it is our understanding that the wastewater pump staon will remain private.
· Who owns the force main that the project is proposing to connect into? Plat shows that there is an easement to
south Burlington, but I don’t think that the City ever accepted this easement.
· The project proposes a berm with landscaping as a visual barrier to Dorset Street. This will add 4-5 of material
and landscaping over the exisng force main. What o ther screening opons are available? This condion is not
acceptable if the City is to accept ownership of this force main (see above note).
· Shared use paths are 10’ wide. Detail shows 8’. However, I don’t see any new paths proposed so this detail may
be moot.
· Ensure access to SW forebay for maintenance is possible without having to remove trees.
· The plans reference a pump staon and easement to t he city east of unit 12. I do not believe that the City ever
accepted this easement? Will the pump staon be rem oved and proposed easement eliminated?
Thank you for the opportunity to comment.
-Tom

departments would have been asked for comments at that me as well.
