Engineer outlines lot sizes, road widening and stormwater considerations for 4th Street plan
Summary
Derigo Engineering explained lot dimensions that exceed local minima, said the current gravel road will need widening to meet fire access and proposed reserving area for stormwater detention while work on detailed drainage design continues.
At the board meeting Randy Butler of Derigo Engineering said the proposed subdivision keeps lots larger than typical mobile-home parks, noting "the Skowhegan's minimum size is 6,500 square feet" and that the proposed lots average roughly 13,000–20,000 square feet. He said the smallest lot on the current plan was about 6,655 sq ft (a typographical error was noted on the plan that will be corrected).
Butler told members he expects the fire chief will require a wider travel way than the existing 10–12-foot gravel road; he proposed 24 feet on the plan to provide margin above typical guidance. He also said the plan reserves an area for stormwater detention and that final drainage design and coordination with the road commissioner remain needed before final approval.
