RE: 25SUB4 - Desautel’s Resubdivision
257 Chesterfield Road, Montville, Connecticut
CLA-7873M
Dear Meredith:
CLA Engineers, Inc. (CLA) has received the application documents for the proposed resubdivsion
of 257 Chesterfield Road on the Town Form Repository:
https://www.townofmontville.org/form-repository/25-sub-4-257-chesterfield-rd-4-lot-
resubdivision/
CLA has performed a review of the documents and offer the following comments:
1. Please confirm that the current street lines are 25’ or more from the Chesterfield Road
centerline.
2. Please indicate what the new property corner monumentation will be.
3. The topography does not appear to be accurate on sheet 3 of 13 in the vicinity of Eversource
Pole #6725 and the cross-culvert discharge from Chesterfield Road (proposed Lot 1). Fill
has been placed in this area that is not reflected in the topography. The plan should be
revised to reflect the current topography.
4. Please identify the nature of the fill material and how it was placed, if known.
5. The Lot 3 Zoning Compliance Table does not appear to have the correct proposed lot area.
6. The limits of the Lot 4 driveway that is restricted to pervious surface only should be clearly
depicted on the plans.
7. Please confirm that vehicles can make the turning movements proposed at the shared Lot
3 and Lot 4 driveway.
8. The existing cross culvert at Lot 1 appears to be HDPE not PVC.
9. Provide sightline demonstrations meeting the Town requirements for each new driveway.
10. Existing sewer inverts were not provided. CLA recommends noting on each lot that
pumps and force main may be required for the sewer discharge.
11. The underground electric for Lot 1 should be relocated so stormwater discharge doesn’t
impact the trench/conduit.

12. The proposed catch basin at Lot 1 should be shifted toward the edge of Chesterfield Road.
A type “c” top should be provided with a paved and curbed apron with smooth transition
to Chesterfield Road. Wood guide posts should be replaced as needed to perform the work.
13. Sizing calculations for the preformed riprap scour hole should be provided.
14. Public Works should be contacted prior to the drainage construction to verify the layout
and to inspect the work.
15. CLA recommends that public improvements be completed and accepted by Public Works
prior to the sale of any lot.
16. Town of Montville standard details for driveways, trench/road repair, and culvert
installation should be included on the plans.
17. A drainage easement and right to drain should be provided over Proposed Lot 1, in favor
of the Town of Montville.
18. The project meets the goals of the 2024 Stormwater Quality Manual and the MS4 General
Permit.
19. The Bond estimate is adequate for the proposed work.
