08/03/2020: The sight distance easement linework along Greenfields Dr. is not
shown on sheet 3 of the plat.
JR Response: Addressed
Comment Number: 3 Comment Originated: 08/03/2020
08/03/2020: The drive intersections with Green Lake Dr. should be
perpendicular for a minimum of 25' per LCUASS. Another option may be to
straighten out the aprons that are angled at the intersections, since the "faux"
2
perpendicular alley intersections probably present a more awkward turning
movement than if the intersections are angled slightly.
JR Response: Aprons have been straightened out.

07/31/2020: A couple comments regarding signing and striping:
The midblock crosswalk does not need to be striped - it is fine with just the
ramps, domes, and signs. Please move the crosswalk signs to the crosswalk,
not in advance. Also, parking needs to be restricted within 20 ft of the
crosswalk. Please use no parking signs with an arrow on all four legs for that.

08/03/2020: SITE SPECIFIC:
Light and Power has conduit stubbed across Greenfields Dr. that will need to be
intercepted and trenched through the site. Light and Power also has an existing
oval vault at the east side of the site (on the west side of Campfire Dr.) that may
be in conflict with the Green Lake Dr. drive approach at Campfire Dr.
Modifications fees will apply if this existing primary vault needs to be relocated
for the drive approach.

08/03/2020: SITE SPECIFIC:
Light and Power will need to extend electric facilities down the private drives to
provide service to the lots. Please show the electric facilities provided on the
redlines on the utility plan for the next round of review so the water, wastewater,
and stormwater providers are comfortable with seperation from electric
facilities.

There is a ramp shown ~2’ from an existing honeylocust on Campfire Dr. Is this
an existing ramp or proposed? If it is proposed, this ramp is well within the
critical root zone of the street tree. Can this ramp be shifted? Forestry requires
6
at least 8’ from edge of driveways and ramps should maintain similar
separations.
JR Response: Proposed ramp has been shifted north to provide 5’ separation from the north side of the tree

There are retaining walls proposed in the southeast corner of the site. These

walls outside of the critical root zones of existing trees, and place proposed
trees at least 6’ away from these walls.

07/31/2020: FIRE LANE SIGN PLACEMENT
I'm assuming the No Parking signs shown on the Signage and Striping Plan
refer to fire lane signage but it wasn't clear what "Sign R7-9A" Referenced. I
couldn't find it on the Overall Legend. I'm looking for clear direction in the plan
set as residential construction does not trigger a fire inspection prior to CO.

the minimum required weight over the full 20 foot cross section.

07/31/2020: ADDRESS POSTING
One of the difficulties associated with planning for emergency response is that
city GIS does not participate in the planning process. Without their input, I'm
forced to make some assumptions. During the conceptual review, I
recommended that "those residences facing onto greenbelts should be
addressed off of Green Lake Dr." That is my best guess as to what GIS will
require unless the alleys are named (I'm not recommending naming the alleys). If
this assumption holds true, either the address range will need to be posted on
the street facing side of the greenbelt homes OR a freestanding monument sign
will need to be located near the street so as to be visible and clearly indicate
best access to any residence. Once again, as PFA will not be part of the site
inspection process, this information shall be clearly resolved prior to approval
and details indicated with the plans.
