WRIGHTSVILLE LANDING [TRC Plan Review #2]  Initial Review Note  All comments are based on adopted policy documents, specific City of Wilmington Land Development Code (CofW LDC) and City of Wilmington Technical Standards and Specifications Manual (CofWTSSM) requirements in effect at the time of this review. These have been noted after the comment as appropriate for your ease in further research. The City Engineer may administratively approve dimensional variance requests per LDC Sec. 18-348. If the Applicant feels further interpretation is in order, please contact Transportation Planning directly to discuss in additional detail. Please apply for all administrative variances in writing, an email is acceptable or this may be included on the plan set. Please see Sec. 18-348 of the Land Development Code for the information required to process a variance request. BASE INFORMATION: • Please show edge of pavement for Wrightsville Avenue. The edge of pavement and edge of travel lane must be shown to determine the minimum distance of clear recovery for the Wrightsville Avenue sidewalk. TECHNICAL STANDARDS – DRIVEWAY ACCESS (Major Thoroughfares): 1. A variance may be requested for the driveway offset from the property line. Driveways for lots along major thoroughfares must at least 75’ offset from property lines to the curb line. TECHNICAL STANDARDS – ACCESS (driveway, sidewalk, and sight distance): 2. The proposed 5’ Sidewalk along Wrightsville Avenue must meet clear recovery distances for this street. City view GIS shows the proposed sidewalk at approximately 10’ distance from the edge of pavement/ travel lane to the edge of the 5’ sidewalk. (see Eric Siedel’s comments below): 29) Grading Plan (C-5): How will clear recovery be met for proposed sidewalk along Wrightsville Avenue? A swale & driveway pipe may be needed to meet vertical separation requirements if sufficient horizontal separation from travel lane cannot be met. TECHNICAL STANDARDS – PARKING: 3. Please distinguish between guest/ public parking and unit parking for this project. Public/ guest parking may be required to provide handicap accessible parking. [Sec. 18-529(b) (2) CofW LDC] TECHNICAL STANDARDS – Barrier Free Design: 4. Note the required and proposed number of handicapped spaces in the development data. [Sec. 18-529(b)(2) CofW LDC] 5. Note/label the plan with spot elevations that clearly indicate the accessible route from any HC space(s) to the building. [Sec. 18-529(b)(2) CofW LDC] MISCELLANEOUS:  Transportation Planning Staff will review the landscape plan once submitted for compliance with sight distance requirements. Please let me know if you have any questions or if I can be of further assistance as this development moves through the review process.
