The site plan is not approved at this time. The following comments must be addressed prior to site plan approval:

DRAINAGE REPORT:

1) DS Sec.10-02.2.3.1.5.C: The proposed site plan must match the post-development plan (Fig 6) in the submitted drainage report. All stormwater conveyance systems that are proposed on the site plan must be described and presented in detail with all hydraulic calculation sheets. Specifically provide a discussion on both HDPE pipes proposed under the pedestrian circulation paths. Provide calculations that show the 10-year flow is contained under the sidewalk areas.

2) DS Sec.2-02.2.1.A.16: Provide cross-sections showing basin details (slopes, depth of flow, setbacks from property lines) and all inlet and outlet structures associated with the basin.

3) DS Sec.10-02.14.2.6: Either provide separately, or show a conceptual grading plan on the Site Plan, with the resubmittal of the Site Plan and re-submittal of the Drainage Report. The conceptual grading plan is required on this project due to the detention basin with the proximity to building setbacks. A Geotechnical Report is required. The soils report needs to discuss suitability and feasibility of the project. Description of existing soil constraints for the site, structural design recommendations, pavement design section, and other typical geotechnical data is needed. The soils report shall provide identification / assessment of any potentially hazardous geotechnical areas, provide proposed recommendations for setbacks from building to drainage areas include minimum distance from foundations to drainage swales, and provide infiltration test results. The geotechnical report shall specifically address all criteria listed in this section. See last sentence of this section for items 6 (c) & (d) regarding hydro-collapsing soils and 30-foot test boring for basin design. Recommendations need to be incorporated into the conceptual grading plan, Site Plan, and Drainage Report.

SITE PLAN COMMENTS:
