In addition to the above listed standards, The Enclave at Westpointe Village will be a
controlled access (gated) neighborhood as follows :
1. The primary (northern) access point off ofWestpointe Drive will be the main
entry and will serve as entry and exit for both homeowners and emergency
vehicles.
2. The secondary (southern) access point off of Westpointe Drive will serve as an
exit only for homeowners while allowing entry and exit for emergency vehicles.
EXCEPTIONS TO STREET DESIGN CRITERIA
The base street design criteria used within the Enclave at Westpointe Subdivision is for
"Local streets serving one- and two-family residential property" having a ROW width of
50 feet.
1. Exception requested for minimum tangent between reverse curves of 50 feet. We
are requesting that no tangent section be required between reverse curves as this
will allow for the meandering nature of the streets as currently laid out. In
decades past, tangents were used for plat check calculations, something which is
not required today with the automation that computer file sharing has provided.
With the large sweeping radius of the curves and slow residential speeds, tangents
are not needed. Intersections are at the outer portion of the curves providing
increased sight distances compared to the "tee" intersections of standard platting.
2. Minimum pavement width for the interior streets (excluding Westpointe Drive) is
30 feet (FOC to FOC). These interior streets with pavement widths of 30 feet
shall have a double yellow center line throughout the subdivision.
