for Ford Road Residential Project.
From David Keely of Public Works
Corrections and
Comments:
Responses:
1.Provide Lot Line Adjustment Documents.
Currently coordinating with AT&T to help them record a lot line adjustment per
linework shown on our plans.
2.Driveway Approaches shall be installed per City Standard.
Detail on sheet C-1 updated to show a 6-inch rise with a maximum slope of 10% on
the driveway and a maximum 2% slope across the parkway prior to the down slope.
Additional detail added to show transition to zero height curb adjacent to the park
entrance.
3.Identify the proposed water service size for domestic, fire and irrigation.
State Health department deferred to IRWD when contacted. IRWD is ok with the
configuration shown on the current plans. Included with this submittal is a list of
questions IRWD has for the City that may require a meeting to discuss.
4.Identify the proposed lateral size for the Sewer Lateral.
A manhole has been added in the street prior to the cleanout shown at the property
line.
5.A waiver by the Utilities General Manager.
Currently attempting to coordinate with the Utility department to determine status of
the waiver. Last correspondence indicated that the waiver could be granted but that
they needed to look into a code section. No further correspondence has occurred
despite repeated attempts.

Please clarify with Fire.
A meeting was held with the applicant, David Keely of Public Works, and Susan
Guzzetta of Fire on October 10th to discuss this comment. It was agreed upon by
all parties that Fire’s primary access for the site will be through the neighboring
AT&T site in form of a Fire Access Legal Description and Exhibit submitted by
Psomas to the City of Newport Beach. Fire will have secondary access in the
Service/Trash location. Both access points have been noted on sheet A0.40 Fire
Access Diagram.
