CROSSROADS INFINITI [TRC Plan Review #3]
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.
TECHNICAL STANDARDS – DRIVEWAY ACCESS (Major Thoroughfares):
1. As previously stated, please submit the variance request for the 75’ offset from the property line, (for the Market Street Driveway), to City Engineering. Driveways for lots along major thoroughfares must be at least 75’ offset from property lines to the curb line.
TECHNICAL STANDARDS – ACCESS (driveway, sidewalk, and sight distance):
2. As previously stated, please submit a variance for the maximum width of a driveway, which exceeds 62’ as measured along the curb gutter line, to City Engineering. The proposed driveway and access easement is greater than 82’ at the gutter flow line, (measured between the points where the curb returns meet the curb line). [Chapter VII , page 7-10, Table 4, Note 1, CofW Tech Stds]
TECHNICAL STANDARDS – PARKING:
3. Please ensure the proposed Site Trees in the Landscape Islands at the entrance to the 50’ Access Easements do not obstruct the movements of the Fire Engine and Auto Hauler. Please verify the ingress and egress path for these vehicles with the trees in place.
