Topic: Stormwater- Grading Plans
Number: 12 Created: 10/24/2006
[11/29/06] Please provide spot elevations at the points where the existing grades will tie into
the proposed grades on the north, south and west boundaries of the school.
[10/24/06] The area to the west of the school site will need to 'be regraded in order to
eliminate the low point in the existing overflow swale, please show how that area will be
regraded. If that area is owned by the Ridgewood Hills HOA approval from that HOA will be
required.
The existing storm manhole is located within the new driveway entrance to the north, please
clarify on the plans how the existing manhole will be modified to match the revised grading.
Please add a note to the grading plan indicating that existing grading on the homes to the
south of the school will not be disturbed during construction operations.
Topic: Stormwater- Utility Plans 1
Number: 11 1 . . - Created: 10/24/2006 ,
[11/29/06] Please specify how the inlet in the north drive will be tied into the existing storm
pipe. The pipe should be core drilled and grouted. N Note says that connection will be
made with an ADS saddle Tee, how can this be made on a concrete pipe?
[10/24/06] Please call out all proposed storm sewer sizes and types on the utility plans.
Please provide a detail for the proposed veined grate proposed for the type 13 inlet as well
as a detail for the sidewalk chase with metal grate.
Grading plans and utility plans do not agree. ;Grading plans do not reflect the proposed
inlets and pipes that are tied to the existing lines. Please modify grading plans to match
utility plans.
Please label all existing easements.

[10/26/06] Please take a look at the proposed transformer location. The proposed location
looks fine except I see a conflict with the grease interceptor. The line from the building to
the interceptor looks to be in the same location as the transformer pad. This would not be
acceptable. Please take a look at this.

[11/28/06] The location of the grease interceptor is fine. The conflict is the sewer line
between the building and the grease interceptor running under a portion of the transformer.
Please re -look at this area.

Number: 19 Created: 10/30/2006
[11/28/06) Repeat.
[10/30/06) There is a sidewalk proposed off site to the north. Will need an easement from
the neighboring property owner for access and temp construction easement.
Number: 21 Created: 10/30/2006
[11/28/06] Repeat.
[10/30/06] Is it even possible to construct the driveway/culdesac as shown without entering
the neighboring property? Will need temp construction easement and a 5 or 10'
maintenance easement for any work needing to be done in the future. I suggest moving the
driveway 10' to the south so that you can bring the sidewalk onto your property and avoid
any offsite easements for construction.
Number: 22 Created: 10/30/2006
[11/28/06] Repeat.
[10/30/06] Please see Appendix E6 for all scanning requirements. The plan sets are out of

greyscale too light, etc.

[11/28/06] Repeat.
[10/30/06] Please use greyscale for existing improvements and a darker lineweight for
proposed improvements. The greyscale used is too light and will not scan very well (hardly
legible in some areas).

Staff has reviewed your submittal for ELEMENTARY SCHOOL AT RIDGEWOOD HILLS -
SITE PLAN ADVISORY REVIEW, and we offer the following comments:
ISSUES:
Department: Current Planning Issue Contact: Shelby Sommer
Topic: Landscaping
Number: 20 Created: 10/30/2006
[11/28/06] Thank you for providing the landscaping island, but additional ones are desired
in order to adequately shade and define the parking lot. Also, the parking lot perimeter
landscaping is still deficient and the foundation treatment is lacking interest.
[10/30/06] Parking lot perimeter and interior landscaping is typically required for all projects.
Please refer to Land Use Code Section 3.2.1(E) for landscape standards, and please make
your best effort to satisfy these requirements. As proposed, the parking lot and its perimeter -
are deficient in landscaping. Also, please explore alternatives to the crusher fines around
the foundation of the building (such as xeriscaping) to add visual interest and variety.
Topic: Site Plan
Number: 54 Created: 11/28/2006
[11/28/06] Please label all fences and sidewalks as such. All of the proposed fences and
gates are not drawn on the plans (on the north and west sides of the property especially).
Also, vinyl clad is much nicer than traditional chain link fencing, so please consider using
this for your development.
Number: 55 Created: 11 /28/2006
[11/28/06] Thank you for providing additional bicycle parking, however the bicycle parking
total on the site plan does not match the total on the landscaping plan. Please revise to
show how many spaces will be provided at each location.

[11/28/06] Repeat. All easements need to be shown as existing or proposed before going
to hearing.
[10/30/06] Will need to dedicate new drainage easements as well as any emergency
access easement required by PFA. There are existing easements dedicated through the
site. Please show all existing easements, labeled and dimensioned on all plan sets and
label as "existing" or "proposed". Will you be vacating any of these easements?
Number: 18 Created: 10/30/2006
[11/28/06] Repeat.
[10/30/06] Please complete and submit a TDRF application with the next submittal for all
easements you wish to vacate or dedicate. Please provide a legal description and exhibit
for all easements that you wish to vacate or dedicate.
