Topic: Utility Plans
162. "[4/27104] Repeat comment: If hydrant restrained, show restrained length on the plans and
provide restrained length calculations. The thrust block on the fire hydrant on Mason Court will
not have undistributed earth behind it; therefore, restrain all joints between hydrant and the
12x12x8 tee on the east side of Mason Court. Can hydrant be placed on east side of Mason
Court?"

Topic: Drainage
184. "Created: 41302004. The previously abandoned 48-inch storm sewer will need to be certified as
if it were a new storm drain. This will be done with the rest of the drainage certification for the
site. An inspection of the pipe before plan approval is recommended to be sure that the pipe is
still in good condition. City camera crews may be able to assist you in accomplishing this. "
R. See engineering Responses by Shear Engineering
185. "Created: 41302004. The drainage report needs to reference the current Old Town Drainage
Master Plan. Any updates within the new master plan need to be incorporated into the current
design for the site. "
R. See engineering Responses by Shear Engineering
186. "Created: 41302004. Please add a water quality summary table to the water quality pond
grading plan. "
R. See engineering Responses by Shear Engineering
187. "Created.• 41302004. Please design and show the outfall for the existing 48-inch storm sewer

15. "[4130104] Please also provide a drainage easement (alignment in this case due to property
being owned by the City) for the full extent of the water quality pond within the park. "
R. See engineering Responses by Shear Engineering
90. "[4130104] Please provide more information regarding the Howes Street Outfall overflow. If the
inlets were completely plugged and the total 491 cfs were to spill, where would the flow go and
what would the water elevation be? If the buildings F.F. elevation were slightly higher than the
crest on Cherry Street, which they are close now, than this issue might be a lot simpler to
resolve. Flood proofing the buildings is also another option.
Also, please provide a statement on the plans stating how the City will be held harmless in the
event any flooding does occur within the development. This area was never planned to have
structures located on it and the drainage easement has been reduced to 40 feet.
R. Understood: The existing and proposed line weights have been adjusted. All curbs are shown dark
for the purpose of graphic clarity as requested in the city checklist.
61. "[04126/041 The easements shown still do not meet requirements. Drivers at
driveways/intersections should be able to look left and right and see vehicles at the distance
required in LCUASS. Please revise. Original comment: Please calculate sight distance easements
needed using figure 7-16 (LCUASS) and show on the plat and utility plans and site and landscape
plans. "
R. See engineering Responses by Shear Engineering
62. "[04126/041 Under -walk drains were added to all driveways except the driveway on the northwest
of the court, and it has the most water draining over the sidewalk. Please revise. Original
comment: Drainage is not allowed over public sidewalks (7.7.4 and 9.4.11 A & B, LCUASS).
Please use under -walk pans as shown in detail 7-31. "

39. "[0426/04] Your engineer needs to calculate the sight distance easements required per LCUASS,
then these easements should be shown on all plans, including the restriction language on the plat
and the landscape plan. The little cars and lines shown on the plans meet no standard that I can
find in LCUASS. Original comment: Further sight distance easement areas should be identified for
the next submittal. Please note that landscaping in these areas needs to meet the restrictions as
well. See LCUASS Drawing 7-16 for calculation of sight distance easements. The 110' shown is
inadequate. "
R. Acknowledged: These site distance easements have been calculated by Shear Engineering
Corporation and were coordinated with Wolff -Lyon Architects.
122. "[04/26/04] The building outlines/envelopes should include all arcades and second -floor
balconies/overhangs/eaves/etc, and should match on both the site and landscape plans. They still
don't appear to match. Original comment: The building outlines/footprints don't seem to match
from the Site plan to the landscape plan. "
R. The building outlines/envelopes have been updated to include all arcades and second -floor
balconies/overhangs/eaves. The outlines/envelopes currently match on both the site and landscape
plans.
Topic: Median
174. "[04126104] Why is the median placed off -center in the street? Looking at the striping on the
street, it appears to be evenly spaced, as it should be, and the median should be placed in the
middle of the street, not shifted south. Please double-check the striping shown on the plan, and
provide for corrections if needed. Where is the north bike lane? How will the striping need to be
changed to provide for the median and the changes in the left turn lane west of the median?"
R. See engineering Responses by Shear Engineering
175. "[0426/04] The sections are mislabeled. A -A is really B-B and vice versa. "
R. See engineering Responses by Shear Engineering
176. "[0426/04] The opening in the median should be 8' wide with curbs on each side. The median
hardscape should be designed per LCUASS 8-05. What are the radii of the median noses? If they
do not meet standards (which they don't appear to), then please revise. "
R. See engineering Responses by Shear Engineering
177. "[0426/04] Please provide a minimum 4' long flat pad in the middle of the refuge per standards. "
R. See engineering Responses by Shear Engineering
178. "[0426/04] There are several locations where the lip is labeled as the flowline and vice versa.
Please revise. "
141. "[04126104] Standards have reverted to the use of D-10 from the stormwater manual for under -
walk drains. Please use this detail (copy attached to plans). Original comment: Please provide the
under -walk drain detail from LCUASS. "
R. See engineering Responses by Shear Engineering
152. "[04/26/04] The utility plan checklist should be re -checked and resubmitted with every round.
Original comment: Please refer to the redlined utility plan checklist for further comments. "
R. See engineering Responses by Shear Engineering
Topic: Grading
75. "[0426/04] In speaking with Craig Foreman of Parks Planning, he requires another onsite
meeting with the engineer, having the extents of the drainage improvements staked out, in order to
determine whether what is proposed is acceptable. He also corrected my previous statement
regarding the need for an easement on parks property, and that an easement (rather than simply
legals and sketches for a Notice of Facility Location) is needed and must go to City Council for
approval. Original comment: Offsite grading/other work performed on Parks' land requires their
approval. Please provide a letter from the Parks department stating their approval of what is
shown on their property. "
R. See engineering Responses by Shear Engineering
139. "[04126/04] It is unclear how tall the retaining walls will be. Please label top of wall elevations. If
retaining walls are >6' high, building permits are required for them. Please apply for these
through Building and Zoning. Original comment: Please provide a detail of the retaining wall. "
R. See engineering Responses by Shear Engineering
Topic: Landscape Plan
37. "[04126104] Repeat: Please match with other plans/plat. "
R. Coordinated.
38. "[0426/04] The sight distance easement restriction language needs to be added to the landscape
plan, and any landscaping not meeting requirements in these easements needs to be revised.
Original comments: Landscaping in median in bulb of cul-de-sac needs to meet Sight distance
easement restrictions. Please see the attached form for restrictions and include these restrictions
on both the landscape plan and the plat.
R. The site distance easement restriction language has been added to the landscape plan and any
landscaping not meeting the requirements or otherwise agreed upon with the city has been revised.
Landscaping in the median bulb of the cul-de-sac shall meet the site distance restrictions.
