As shown on the plans , the existing northern terminus of Maskel Road would continue as a cul-de-sac to the rear of proposed Lots No . 3 and No. 4 . I feel that strong consideration should be given to extending Maskel Road to the proposed new roadway shown as Vicki Lane. This would then create a second access to Maskel Road from Abbe Read. My reasoning is based both on safety and ease to maintenance . A secondary access to any road is more desirable for protection of the residents . Also, snow removal on cul-de-sacs has always been a problem to Town forces . The logical extension of Maskel. Road would increase snow removal efficiency of Public Works crews through this area .

BOX 238 COVENTRY, CONNECTICUT 06238 (203) 742-0340 April 8, 1986 South Windsor Planning and Zoning Commission c/o Peter DeMallie , Town Planner Town Hall South Windsor , Ct. 06074 Q Re: Traffic Report for Coven Mountain Subdivision Abby Road South Windsor, Ct. Mr. Vito Covensky proposes to divide the 35.8 acre site into 41 single family house lots. The lots are to be served by a new subdivi- sion road constructed to Town standards. This new road will provide future access to three adjacent properties . The proposed Vicki Lane will enter Abby Road approximately 200 feet north of Old Farms Road. This entrance provides adequate sight distance for the speeds observed on Abby Road during traffic counting. The sight distance to the south on Abby Road is 600 feet , more than the distance required for the observed 40 mph traffic. The unhindered sight distance to the north is presently 380 feet. At that point a large bush at the edge of Abby Road's pavement (and within its ROW) in- terferes with further sight distance although the road itself remains relatively level and straight. If the bush were trimmed, then an addi- tional 100 feet of sight distance would become available which would be adequate. The American Association of State Highway Officials re- quires 275 feet for 40 mph (attached) . Conn. D.O.T. attempts to pro- vide 475 feet of sight distance for entry onto State Highways posted for 40 mph. This is far more conservative than the National Standards. Manual traffic counting shows Abby Road to be lightly travelled even during peak periods . The following table shows peak hour and total day volumes in both directions . Also, when the predicted 10 trips per day from each house in the proposed subdivision are added to the present traffic flow the road will continue operating at Level of Service A (free flow) Abby Road Traffic Volumes Trips AM Peak Hour (veh. per hour) 32 PM Peak Hour (veh. per hour) 69 ADT present (veh. per day) 300 ADT generated by Coven Mountain (veh. per day) 414 ADT result (veh. per day) 714 AM Peak result (veh. per hour) 60 PM Peak result (veh. per hour) 98 Level of Service A Limit (veh. per hour) 400 Thus , in conclusion, the proposed development will provide for safe entry onto Abby Road and will not cause congestion for those travelling on Abby Road.

Moran, Jr. , Chairman Inland Wetlands Agency/ `¢` ' Conservation Commission FROM: Bo Davies Deputy Town Engineer South Wind;O RE: Coven Mountain - Review #2 5/19/8 6 Planning & Z0611% COMMIS on A meeting was held 5/16/86 with the developer and staff concerning the above proposed subdivision revised to 5/8/86 . I was asked to review the plans as submitted in anticipation of a possible June IWA/CC hearing . It appears that the plans will have to be revised at least a couple of more times before they could possibly reach consideration for approval. Staff is not going to design the subdivision for them and we do have more concerns that have not been addressed yet, but with the potential of a prestigious subdivision as opposed to a standard bulldozer type, it is approaching time that the com- mission have some input into the E&S concerns . This is not to imply to the developer an approval if they do items 1 through 10 , just for guidance only. Staff still can not recommend the plans are ready for approval . The February plan review is still valid. In that review, specific items that I asked for : 1 . Proposed contours - shown - indicated 1 : 4 slope . 2 . Additional haybales - shown but contrary to their own recommendations . 3 . Stump dump - shown 4 . Amount of material to be moved or stored - shown -60 , 000 CU. YDS to be removed from site; also stockpile in CL&P row. Again, the narrative correctly depicts the site features and the possible erosion problems . From that point on, I still have a problem with the method of siltation control. The roadway area being used as a conveyor of eroded soils . The engineer still does not address E&S control . In essence , based on their narrative and plans , there will be about 10 . 8 of the 35 . 8 acre site under the disturbed category prior to sequence items #25 'paving ' or #27 ' seeding ' . One third of the site could become alive under a severe condition. Just turn the bulldozer loose , we will clean up our mess later. The ' Connecticut Guidelines Handbook ' primary outlook is to stop the erosion before it can start and that for an erosion and sediment control program to be effective , provisions must be made in the planning stage . I am surprised that even after their last venture , more thought still hasn' t been given to developing a good workable plan for both them and us . Actually it isn' t us , a good E&S plan and implementation enhances their project . Cleaning up a grubby messy site costs time and money and never looks good. MEMORANDUM -2- 5/20/86 TO: John M. Moran FROM: Bo Davies RE: Coven Mountain When the applicant becomes serious with appropriate plans for a final sub- mission, they are aware that the town will submit them to SCS for their review & comments . It is too premature at this time. In summary, I expect that this site probably will be developed next year . I do feel that some input from the commission might be beneficial in this planning stage. The plans , revised 5/8/86 are still incomplete with respect to E&S and are not ready for approval. ABD:dlb CC: Richard Martel , Town Engineer Planning and Zoning Commission File Coven Mountain M E M O R A N D U M TO : John M . Moran , Jr . Chairman , Inland Wetlands Agency/Conservation Commission FROM: Bo Davies Deputy Town Engineer RE: Coven Mountain Application #380 - Plans of 2/11/86 An initial review of the plans as submitted is as follows . As indicated in the narrative , the proposed 41 lot subdivision is on a 35 . 8 acre parcel with a roadway length of 3277 linear feet with an elevation change of 128 feet from Abbe Road to the high point . The possible erosion problems are fairly well stated ; steep slopes , substantial roadway excavation , gravelly soil which is easily erodable together with the normal ground cover removal which exposes more surface to the weather . Some of the erosion control measures indicates that the roadway "cut" sections will be used to collect and concentrate the eroded soils . The 20th item in the sequence is to construct the detention basin and that it is to be utilized as a sedimentation basin and it is their intent to build the roads in one continous effort . It appears that not much real thought was given to the proposal . By whatever standards used , IWA , the state guide lines , or subdivision regulations , there is insufficient information to suggest that the plans are ready for approval or discussion . Without going into an item by item need , primarily , the plans need the proposed contours to show the limits of excavation or where the E&S measures would be the most effective . There are portions of the roadway that will be 10 feet below the present ground level . With a proposed front y and slope of 1 : 5 or a 20% grade ( our maximum highway grade is 8%) , the total roadway excavation width could be 150 ' wide , with the nature of the material , something over and above some hay bales 500 ' apart will be required to preserve the char- acter of the site . There is no indication of stump disposal or the amount of material to be moved or stored . I expect that this site will be developed at some time soon . I also expect that it could be a quality development . It would be a shame to screw it up with a poorly developed plan . Again , I do not feel the plans are ready yet for review at this time . Staff can not recommend the plans are ready for approval . 1 QVIN sf'q( y r , 9 1540 SULLIVAN AVENUE • SOUTH WINDSOR.
