R. There is not a conflict between the 36-inch storm sewer and the 8-inch water main. The
water main is well above the storm sewer. See Sheet 3 of the Final Utility Plans for
elevations here.

feet of the building. Please investigate whether or not the waterline could be relocated
farther south, thus allowing for the storm sewer to be moved at least 10 feet from the

not possible, an alternative would be to use water tight pipe like DIP, for the area in front
of Building C. "

median should be enlarged to provide adequate visibility, but not encroach on left turn
stacking lengths at either Mason or Howes or the movement of turning buses off of Mason
onto Cherry. The design should also take into consideration that Howes will most likely be
a 2-way street in the future. The ends should also be made less blunt. It has also been
