Jimmie D. Coker, P.E. President • • Richard W. Cansler Secretary METROPOLITAN ENGINEERING COMPANY Civil Engineers and. Designers 4117 B Vista Road Pasadena, Texas 77504 Phone 944-8072 January 28, 1981 Mr. John Joerns Director of Public Works City of LaPorte RE: Proposed Brookglen Park Subdivision Dear Sir: The following comments are respectfully submitted in response to your mem- orandum on January 9, -1981. 1. Tie to survey corner to be provided on final plat 2. Complete topography to be provided in construction plans • with existing profiles and proposed profiles for final grading 3. Creekbend Drive radii -The use of a 300 foot radius would be unacceptable in lieu of those shown because of the irregular configuration of the boundaries of the land being platted. A radius of this magnitude would create lot depths much greater than those indicated and, aside from reducing the yield, would be very objectionable to a prospective owner by encouraging high speed traffic. Radii of the dimensions on the plat are generally acceptable in all subdivisions in this area. 4. Lot lines do not deviate from perpendicular sufficiently enough to create a problem or any inconvenience, and are compatible to the predominate traffic flow. 5. Side and rear driveway access to be limited by note on final plat for those lots listed in your memorandum. 6. Side lot lines along Luella Drive provide unlimited sight distance of 10 feet in each direction to a driver entering Luella Drive from the side streets, The curb is a sufficient distance from the right-of-way line to provide this sight distance with this proposed 10' side lot line. Luella, though esplanaded at this point, is not a component of any major thoroughfare plan in that it dead ends into Fairmont Parkway on the south end, and is offset a considerable .distance at Spencer Highway on the north end. North of Spencer, it • traverses predominantly residential areas and is limited to a 60' wide right-of-way.
