November 13, 2019
Engineering Comments:
1. Roadway- The pavement is shown at 18 feet in width. The Code requires 32 feet however the
proposed 18 feet is consistent with the existing roadway. With the narrowness of the road we
may need to consider restricting parking to only one side of the roadway to ensure a lane remains
open to traffic and emergency vehicles.
2. Right of Way- The right of way appears to be 20 feet wide; one foot on each side of the
pavement. The code requires 50 feet however the right of way at the existing road is 30 feet. I
would recommend the proposed right of way be at least consistent with the existing at 30 feet. In
addition to facilitating maintenance operations this would also provide room for utilities without
them being under the pavement.
3. Connection to existing Right of Way- There is not a right of way / easement across 1376 Baldur
Park that would allow a connection of the existing roadway to the proposed roadway. An
easement/ right of way in favor of the city should be procured from the property owner at 1376 in
order to facilitate the roadway extension and the extension of any public utilities to service the
new development.
4. Floodplain-Floodplain mitigation is proposed on site to offset proposed floodplain
fill. The applicant will be required to obtain a MCWD permit for this work, and the
mitigation volume will need to be equal to or greater than the fill.
5. Wetlands-Wetland impacts and buffers will need to be approved by MCWD as
well. Impacts may not be approved unless a good argument can be made for wetland fill.
6. A sewer main extension will be required to provide sewer service to the new and existing
homes. They may not share a service connection.
