RE: Big R Lot 1 Minor Subdivision — Access and Utility Easement and Emergency
Access Easement Driveway Improvements
Dear Nicole:
This letter presents the improvements necessary for the construction of the 20-foot
Access and Utility Easement and Emergency Access Easement driveway proposed for
the Big R Lot 1 Minor Subdivision. The easement serves as a driveway for Lots 1A and
1 B, the route for any new utility improvements, and the access for emergency vehicles.
The road structure with the easement must be capable of supporting heavy equipment
and semi -truck traffic for potential uses on the lots and emergency vehicles including fire
trucks. Michael Erion conducted a site investigation on October 6, 2020 and identified
the improvements needed for the driveway and emergency access.
The proposed 20-foot easement is generally located on ground that has been stabilized
and graveled for use by heavy equipment and semi -truck traffic and for storage of
construction materials such as roofing and lumber. The proposed easement encroaches
into existing fencing and portions of the entrance at Gemat Circle are located on native
soil. Use of the easement as a driveway and emergency access route will require
removal/relocation of fencing, weed removal, road base in the entrance area, and
additional gravel in the vegetation (weed) areas.
The estimated quantities for each of the improvements include removal of 240 feet of
chain link fence, reconstruction of 75 feet of fence, relocation of an existing sliding gate,
removal of 2700 square feet of vegetation (weeds) in graveled areas, installation of 1500
square feet of road base (27 cubic yards), and installation of 5000 square feet of 2-inch
minus gravel (835 cubic yards). The cost for these improvements is estimated at
approximately $15,000.
