The existing water line which extends into the site is a "PRIVATE" line. This line is fed by a master
meter located adjacent to City Park Road. No meter or meter pit is required on this building and no
fire hydrant will be allowed on the end of this existing water line.
S&A Response: Meter, meter pit and fire hydrant have been removed.

Provide existing and proposed rim elevations on the sanitary sewer manholes which are affected by
the developed areas. Clearly define all required adjustments on the overall utility plans. Provide a
manhole adjustment detail on the detail sheet.
S&A Response. Added adjustment detail to Sheet Six Included all adjustment elevations

A drainage easement will be required for all limits of the detention ponds. These can be done by
separate document if no replat is to occur.
S&A Response: Separate documents will be submitted after plans are approved.
Number: 19 Created: 7/31/2003
Please provide details for the water quality outlet structures on the plans. An outlet structure similar
to the City s standard would be preferred. They can be a smaller version and would provide a better
design regarding aesthetics and space usage. An area inlet in the middle of the pond sticking out of
the ground may be less appealing visually.
S&A Response: Actually both are sore thumbs but inlets are precast and easier to construct

1) Plat - It appears the plat is being revised so it must show the new floodplain boundary for the
Canal Importation Basin. Add an additional note noting the date of the floodplain mapping so
as not to cause confusion with the 1990 certification stating the site is not in the floodplain.
S&A Response. There is no new plat with this project Notes added to ILC which is a
reference map and included with the Utility plans.
2) Drainage Report
a) Please clarify whether or riot the building foundation is slab -on -grade- If it has a crawl space
or basement, the regulatory flood protection elevation is measured at the lower level, not at
finished floor.
S&A Response: Added that Ws slab on grade.
b) On Page 1 please call out this is in the Canal Importation floodplain.
S&A Response. Added to page 1.
c) The Anderson report gave a range of regulatory flood protection levels since it was not known
yet the exact location of the structure. Based on the given building location, the base flood
elevation (BFE) must be calculated at the western edge of the building and this elevation
stated in the report. The regulatory flood protection elevation is then calculated by adding 18
inches to the BFE. Please clarify in the report how you arrived at the elevation of 5040.35 for
the regulatory elevation.
S&A Response: Added to both Sheet MD. 4 of Utility plans/and drainage reporL
d) In the report include a table showing: City BFE at upstream (west) end of structure, regulatory
base flood elevation, lowest floor elevation and lowest elevation of proposed HVAC
equipment.
S&A Response. Added to drainage report
e) State in report that a floodplain use permit is required prior to construction, along with a $25
permit application fee. A permit is required for both the building as well as any site work done
in the floodplain. One permit can be submitted and reviewed now for all work, or two permits
can be submitted, one for the site work (submitted prior to beginning site work) and one for
the building (submitted at time of building permit application).
S&A Response: Added to Sheet 4 and report
f) State in report that a FEMA Elevation Certificate must be completed and approved for the
building structure prior to the release of the CO.
S&A Response. Added to report
g) Add statement to the report that this site is in compliance with City Code, Chapter 10,
Floodplain Regulations.

Lighting levels around trash enclosure should be 0.5 fc or greater. Also, the lilac at the southwest
comer of the trash enclosure creates a potential safety problem - suggest using a lower growing
evergreen (not over 3' 0 maturity).
