I would offer the following comments: 1. The general road layout for the filing is acceptable including the location of the emergency ur."i, road that will connect Crescent Place to Monarch Road. 2. Greg has proposed relocating the access road which connects Monarch Road to the water storage tank. The access road would be relocated further to the west and can be used as an emergency access road. This would be acceptable. 3. Greg has also proposed eliminating the cul-de-sac that had previously been proposed for the north end of Monarch Road. Monarch Road would essentially end at the intersection of Crescent Lane at which point it would become an access road for two lots north of Crescent Lane. I have recommended that the road maintain at least a 20-foot width to the point where the water tank access road begins. Please call if you have any questions.
