Re:Definitive Subdivision Plan,Parker Lane
Dear James,
On behalf of the applicant,William Eagan,we are requesting the following
waivers from Chapter 801.Subdivision Regulations.Understanding that the proposed
roadway falls within the definition of a Minor B roadway as shown in Appendix A of the
regulations,the following waivers are requested:
801-24.A.1.(a)[13]Soil Borings.We are requesting a waiver from this requirement.
Several soil test pits were done on the site and all results showed consistent soil type and
depth to groundwater.No additional testing is necessary.
801-24.A.l.(a)[16]Environmental Analysis Report.We are requesting a waiver from
this requirement due to the scope of the development.For only two new lots the impact to
the environment is negligible.
801-24.E.(6-9)Review by Other Officials.These sections require that final approval of
the definitive plans will be held up pending approval of utilities by the electric,gas,
telephone,and cablevision companies.Utility companies will not give approval until an
approved definitive plan is provided to them.
801-24.J.(5)Binder Course.This section specifies that an occupancy permit for a house
cannot be granted until at least the binder course of pavement is installed.In this case the
completed roadway is to remain gravel.
801-24.N.(3)(a.)Hydrant System.This section requires that the Fire Chief grant
approval of the installation of the hydrant system.There are no hydrants being proposed
as there is no public water system available at the site.
801-27.Drainage.We are requesting a waiver from all of the requirements of this
section to allow for a drainage swale along the side of the roadway as shown on the
roadway cross section in Appendix A.
801-29 Sidewalks.No sidewalks exist in the vicinity of Parker Lane and Service Road
and none are proposed for this roadway.
801-30 Curbing and Berms.No curbing is proposed.The "country"drainage system
allows roadway run off to sheet flow into the drainage swales.
801-41.Drainage System.As stated above,we are requesting a waiver from all of the
requirements of this section to allow for a drainage swale along the side of the roadway
as shown on the roadway cross section in Appendix A.
801-44.Roadway Foundation.We are requesting a waiver to allow a 9 inch gravel base
for Parker Lane.
801-45 Roadway Surface.We are requesting a waiver to allow a gravel roadway with no
pavement.
801-46 Sidewalks.No sidewalks exist in the vicinity of Parker Lane and Service Road
and none are proposed for this roadway.
801-47 Curbing and Berms.No curbing is proposed.The "country"drainage system
allows roadway run off to sheet flow into the drainage swales.
801-49 Street Trees.No street trees are being proposed.Both sides of Parker Lane are
heavily wooded and most of the existing vegetation will be preserved.
Appendix A Minor Road B Cross section.The following waivers are requested:
Right of Way width 40 feet.The existing Right of Way is 33 feet wide.
Depth of gravel base.We are requesting a waiver to allow a 9 inch gravel base.
Roadway Surface.We are requesting a waiver to allow a gravel roadway with no
pavement.
In accordance with Section 801-5 Waivers,we believe that our request for these
waivers will maintain the rural character of the area and are not inconsistent with the
Subdivision Rules and Regulations.
If you have any questions please feel free to contact me.
