Peter,

I had thought previously that Ice Pond Drive was intersecting Ledgewood at 90 degrees, so that is what I had based my prior comment on.  You are correct in that a 30 foot radius is the ordinance standard for intersections between 60 and 90 degrees.

Thanks,
Ethan

Subject: Old Barn Estates - Drive Entrance Radii

Hi Ethan,

The City has had some concern with our street entrance at Ledgewood Drive and asked for a confirmation of the radius size and sketch showing vehicle turning radii.  The plans to date show a 30 ft. edge of pavement/curb radius based on the attached page from the Falmouth Ordinance (our drive does not intersect Ledgewood at 90 degrees) Per Jean’s comment below I would like to confirm that the 30 ft. radius is correct, and not the 15’ which is required for 90 degree intersections.

Thank you,
Peter

Peter,

Ethan Croce has advised me that Falmouth standards call for a 15' radius so you might want to confirm with him about this.

I will discuss with our traffic engineers.

thanks
Jean

Hi Jean,

I have attached a sketch showing the turning radii and the page from the Falmouth Ordinance which requires the 30’ curb radii, please let me know if you need more information.

Thank you,
