PROJECT INFORMATION:
Public Utilities – 7083 Hendrickson Road is the only dwelling being served by water and sewer service within the cul-de-sac. It has been agreed upon with CBJ General Engineering that an Access and Utility Easement would be granted to provide access to the existing water, sewer and an existing clean-out that reside in the cul-de-sac portion.
There is an additional service that does not serve a lot. The shutoff valve will be plugged at the saddle/removed by the owner.
Fire Code Improvements – Instead of a cul-de-sac providing emergency turn-around access at the end of Hendrickson Road, an existing Access and Utility easement on the 1080 Hendrickson Road property will provide a hammer-head-type turn-around for emergency services.
