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)[16]Environmental Analysis Report:For a two lot subdivision we do
not believe that an Environmental Analysis report is necessary.We have added notes to
the plan saying that there are no wetlands on the property,that it is not in a Priority
Habitat Area,and that it is not in an A.C.E.C.
801-24.C.Profile Sheet.The proposed roadway will be placed at the same grade as the
existing Parker Lane.It will be widened and excavated to subgrade than brought back up
to existing grade with a 15 inch gravel base as a final roadway surface.
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.C.(4)Drainage.This section requires side slopes of 4 to 1 for BMP's.We are
requesting side slopes of 3 to 1.
801-27.C.(5)Drainage.This section requires that catch basins be spaced 300 feet apart.
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.
801-45 Roadway Surface.We are requesting a waiver to allow a 15 inch thick 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 swale.
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.
801-52 Monuments:This section requires that monuments be placed at all points of
change in direction.We are proposing to place 9 monuments,6 bounds and 3 iron rods.
This,combined with the existing perimeter monuments shown on the plan will provide
more than enough survey control to re-trace the property lines.
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.
Roadway Surface.We are requesting a waiver to allow a 15 inch thick 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.
Sincerely,
Frank J.Gallagher,P.E.
