Topic: Floodplain Comments
Number: 88 Created: 1 /2/2008
[1/2/08] 1. Site Plan — The floodplain and floodway lines are not in the correct location.
Please review and revise. — REPEAT
This has been corrected on our submittal.
2. The previous plans showed a dividing line between units A/B and the lobby. This was to
show that these are distinct buildings that are not connected on the lower floor. It is
important to have this distinction so that the requirement to elevate the floor level for
floodplain purposes only applies to Unit A/B. Please re -add these lines and make notes
about this issue on the plans.
This has been re -added to the plans.
3. Please describe in drainage report how the no -rise issue is being addressed in the
floodway. — REPEAT
This information has been added to Appendix A.
4. Drainage Report — Appendix A — The no -rise floodplain information needs to be updated
with the cross -sections and calculations that were provided to us via e-mail in October.
This information has been added to Appendix A.

[1/4/08] A pervious pavement needs to be selected and a detail submitted for review and
approval. These pervious pavement systems also need underdrains for these soil
conditions, which can drain into the proposed storm sewer. Please call me at 416-2418 if
you want more information.
The porous pavement section has not been fully designed by the Geotechnical
Engineer. The design will be finalized after the geotechnical engineer can test the
percolation of the soils in the immediate area of the building. These percolation tests
will not be possible until construction is under way due to the location of the existing
buildings. A report will be provided to the city at the time of construction that shows
the details for the porous pavement system.
I spoke with Mike Herzig at the city and they do not need to approve the pavement
type used on private property.

[1/2/08] Comcast Cable still has concerns about having Utility Easements outside of the
road rights of way and along the alley way to place facilities.
[8/14/07] Comcast comments that the plat map needs to show a 6' utility easement so
Comcast can place their facilities in that easement to feed this project.
As per an email and telephone conversations with Don Kapperman at Comcast Cable,
they are o.k. not being in an easement as long as they can go joint trench with power
and telephone. The joint trench for all of these facilities will be within the alley way.
The cable service for this site will be at the northeast corner of this site along with the
power and telephone.
