MEMORANDUM
To: Michele Lipe,Town Planner
From: Jeffrey Doolittle, P.E.,Town Engineer Y-0
Date: 2/8/11
RE: App 11-03P Medical Office Bid 1559 Sullivan Ave
I have reviewed the revised Plans received on February 3, 2011 for the proposed
Medical Office Building at 1559 Sullivan Ave and 29 Community Rd. Most of my
previous comments have been addressed; however I have the following comments.
1. Sheets EX-1 and EX-2 need to be signed and sealed by a Connecticut Licensed
Surveyor.
2. Show the two existing cherry trees near the proposed driveway on sheets DP-1,
EX-1, GUA and others as needed. These two existing cherry trees along
Sullivan Avenue (and possibly others)will have to be removed and replaced.
3. A plan needs to be prepared and signed and sealed by a CT Licensed Surveyor
showing the property transfers and changes in property lines between this
property and that at 1744 Ellington Road. This plan needs to be included in this
set and filed on the Town land records. This information can be added to SP-1 or
a new sheet developed.
4. 1 did not find the Easement Plan, Sheet No. EP-1 in this submittal
5. The concrete sidewalk between this property and that at 1744 Ellington Road
(along the rear driveway)should be at least 5 feet wide from the curb to make
room for the curb and pedestrians.
6. Label the sidewalk ramps on sheet SP-1.
7. Add to Note 15 on SPA that the parking spaces shall be marked with double
striping and refer to the Parking Space Stripe Detail on Sheet DN-1.
8. The proposed grades from the sidewalk down to the parking area are very steep
(21-1:1 V) by the end of the proposed retaining wall along Community Rd. This
retaining wall should be raised to a top elevation of 110 to contour 110 and
extended south about 10 feet at elevation 109 to reduce this slope.
9. The proposed grades down the driveway and into the front parking area are still
awkward as the steep driveway grades(8-10%) meet the flat grades in the
driveway(2%)without much transition. I think this can be improved by revising
the grading in the front driveway by eliminating CB#1 and the associated low spot
and shifting CB#2 to the north to collect runoff from the parking area. Check
these grades and revise the plans as needed to improve this area.
