As proposed, James Drive violates the City’s cul-de-sac standard, which allows a cul-
de-sac length of up to 1,200’ and a maximum 50 dwelling units. We recommend this
project provide a street connection of James Drive to Hillside Drive.
Please note that the drainage area along the sideyards is to be designed to provide a
positive drainage of 2% to swale a minimum 5’ away from, the face of building. If this is
not possible, the applicant’s soils engineer must provide,a letter indicating their approval
of the proposed drainage design.
3. Several section lines are referenced on the plan view of the tentative map but their
details are not found on the plans. Please add these details to the plans.
4. Add to the hydrology study an analysis of the 48” storm drain and whether it has
adequate capacity to accommodate runoff from this project.
5. Curb outlets are limited to one per lot, as opposed to Lot 4, which is shown as containing
two outlets.
