COMPLETENESS REVIEW AND INITIAL ISSUES STATEMENT
JAMES CANYON ESTATES, CDP 98-90/CT 98-20/HDP 98-22
The Engineering Department has completed its review of the subject project for application
completeness. The application and plans submitted for this project are incomplete and
unsuitable for further engineering review due to the following missing or incomplete items:
1. The proposed pad elevation of each lot.
2. Width and location of all existing or proposed public and private easements. Please
provide a table that identifies each easement and numbered to correspond with those in
the preliminary title report. The table should include the date, file number, and future
disposition of each easement.
3. Copies of the letters that permit offsite grading on the western side of James Drive.
4. A letter from the applicant's soils engineer stating that the findings and conclusions of
the preliminary geotechnical report prepared by Hetherington Engineering, Inc., dated
August 8,1989, are still valid.
In addition, the Engineering Department made a preliminary review of the project for
Engineering issues. Engineering issues which need to be resolved or adequately addressed
prior to conditioning of the project are as follows:
«s==»
1. 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.
2. 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.
Attached is a redlined check print set of the project, f Please return this plan set with the
corrected plans to assist us in our continued review. If you have questions regarding any of the
comments above, please contact me at extension 4380.
