Dear Sirs: Re: Preliminary Plans on Subdivision Appledore The only comments that 2 can matte at this time is that T don' t see the 25 ft. leveling off section at the intersection of circle and Sandra Lane. x also have questions on the nine degrees pitch and the culvert; sizes in sections affected. 1 would prefer to wait for a more definite plan before 1 make any further judgement. 1 feel that these preliminary plans lack much of the requirements necessary for me to matte any further comment at this time. 1 am planning to attend the meeting on Monday evening.

I would Like to have two additional catch basins added, approximately twenty feet north of where the new Sandra Lane ties in with the existing. 2. 1 would suggest that due to the fact that the bar type storm drain grates pose a problem of the possibility of bicycle wheels getting stuck in them and the possibility of someone getting hurt, I recommend the checker square typo be used. These are also much stronger. 3. All excavations should be given ample time to settle before any paving work is done. We have had many pavement sags in our new subdivisions and I would like to be sure that this needless problem is overcome. 4. The headwall is to be built according to the specifications of the Planning Board. 5. I would like to have the 4 inch crown scale changed to 3/8 of an inch.
