Mr. Gonzales,
I'm not sure if you were routed on the most recent re -submittal of the Raven
View PDP or not. Therefore, I wanted to confirm/verify a particular item
related to the emergency access road connecting to Mulberry Street. This is
the location of the existing curb inlet. We are proposing to modify the
inlet box and construct a standard driveway approach so that emergency
vehicles will not have to contend with a vertical curb face or an
open -throat inlet.
However, in looking at the configuration of the existing inlet box and storm
sewer system in Mulberry, we are limited in the extent that we can modify
this area. Per our previous discussions, we will be providing a 20-ft wide
asphalt surface for the emergency access road. Due to the constraints
mentioned above at the inlet box to be modified, we cannot provide a 20-ft
wide flush surface at the flowline of Mulberry.
Starting 6-ft east of the proposed 20-ft access drive, we will depress the
curb from 6-in high to zero so that it is flush with the flowline at the
eastern edge of the EA drive. The curb will remain flush for the next 17-ft
heading west. At that point, we will have to start transitioning back up to
the 6-in curb height for the modified inlet box. This means the
western -most 3-ft of the 20-ft emergency access drive entrance will not be
flush with the flowline. Instead, the curb will be in transition from zero
to 3-in high (the remaining 3-in vertical gain will occur in the 3-ft
immediately west of the EA drive).
Even if you did receive a new set of plans, this information may not be
obvious due to the preliminary level of detail provided at the PDP phase.
We will address further specifics during Final Compliance, but after all of
the coordination we've had on this project to date, I just wanted to ensure
this entrance condition is acceptable to you. Thanks for all of your time
and effort.
