HomeMy WebLinkAboutSOUTHGLEN PUD, 2ND FILING REPLAT - MAJOR AMENDMENT - 31-99A - CORRESPONDENCE - REVISIONSand Associates mapping for the project. Similarly, for the purpose of consistency with.
previous studies at the site, basin delineations were selected from the most recently
submitted drainage report for the site, that being JR Engineering's report for Filing 5.
While it is recognized that there is some discrepancy between the two sets of information,
our field review of the site and our desire to remain consistent with previous work for the
project led us to use the basin delineation as previously depicted.

1. Show all utilities and easements on the Landscape Plan.
Response: All utilities and easements have been shown on the Landscape Plan.
2. A required street tree is missing on Lot 1.
Response: We are unable to fit a tree on the frontage of Lot 1 with the driveway,
specified utility separations, and the location of the existing storm manhole. Rather, we
have provided an extra street tree in front of Lot 3.
3. Change Tract A to a Public Access Easement.
Response: Tract A has been identified as a Drainage and Access Easement.
4. The easement vacation note on the subdivision plat is wrong.
Response: The easement vacation note on the subdivision plat has been corrected. .
5. There must be a minimum of 20' from the back of sidewalk along Albion Way to
the garage doors. '

Provide stationing of all sewer services (from downstream manholes).
Response: Sewer services have been labeled from downstream manhole.
The following comments and concerns were expressed at staff review on August 21,
2002:

Add a street tree in front of Lot 1:
Response: We are unable to fit a tree on the frontage of Lot 1 with the driveway, .
specified utility separations, and the location of the existing storm manhole. Rather, we
have provided an extra street tree in front of Lot 3.
Transportation Planning
1. Make the walkway in Tract A a hard surface walk from Albion Way to the parking
lot in the South Glen, Second Filing multi -family area. It should be 5' wide.
Response: We believe that a sidewalk connection from the existing Albion Way, with
sidewalks on both sides of the street, through the tract to the parking lot of the existing
apartment complex will not provide a pedestrian friendly alternative to the existing
sidewalk network. Moreover, the existing sidewalk system on Albion Way and
Manhattan Avenue provides adequate pedestrian'connectivity for residents along Albion
Way to access Lopez Elementary School, Troutman Parks and neighborhoods to the.west.
For these reasons, we have not included a sidewalk through the tract.
Stormwater
Tract A has to be 20' wide to accommodate the storm drainage facility.
Response: Tract A has�been widened from 10''to 20'.
2. A drainage easement is needed in Lot 1 for the storm sewer
Response: A drainage easement has been combined with the utility easement to create a
"drainage and utility easement".
3.1 The basin drainage map does not match the contours shown on this site.
Response: Since the engineering design was for a re -plat, no additional field survey was
conducted; existing topography shown on the plans was prepared from previous Stewart

Place a fire hydrant at the termination point of the existing 6-inch water main in the
southwest portion of this site. -Provide the standard fire hydrant and thrust block detail on
the detail sheets.
Response: A fire hydrant has been added at the termination point of the 6-inch line and
the additional details have been added -to the detail sheets.
34
If meter pits are being installed then show and label locations of meter pits/curb stops.
Provide sufficiept utility easement for gas main, storm sewer, -electric main and curb stop
on lot 3.
Response: The meter pit locations have been shown on the Utility Plan.. Assuming this
comment is directed toward Lot.I and not. Lot 3, a sufficient easement has been provided
for gas and storm. The electric main will cross from the east side of Albion Way and
service Lot 1. at the south property line.
35
Maintain 10 feet of separation between water/sewer services and side lot property lines.
Response: 10 feet or more of separation has been allowed between water and sanitary
services. 10 feet of separation from lot line to sanitary service was not possible on all lots
due to separation specifications with trees and other utilities.
36
Label sizes of all proposed water and sewer services.
Response: All proposed service sizes have"been identified.

boundary coming across this swale. Please revise all basin lines to reflect the grading of
the site.
Response: The drainage basin boundary lies on the property boundary of Lot 3. The
previously proposed pan had directed runoff near the south property line to Albion Way.
Although it may have appeared that the grading plan and drainage plan were in conflict .
with each other, the spot elevations on the pan illustrated that positive drainage was
achieved despite the close drainage divide. The pan has been since been removed (please
see comment 51.)

Locate water services near center of lot (but not in drives) and sewer services 10 feet
north of water services.
Response: Water services have been located near the center of the lots. Sanitary services
for Lots 1 and 3 are located approximately 20 feet to the north of the water services due
to conflicts with street trees. The sanitary service for Lot 2 is located approximately 20
feet to the south of the water service due to conflicts with the driveway, gas service and
street tree locations and separations. .

A drainage pan is not needed along the south side of Lot 3 for side lot swales with a slope
of at least 1 %. '
Response: The drainage pan has been removed.

Is drainage from the multi -family site entering Lots 2 and 3 from the west? Flows need
to be directed to the stormsewer or tract between Lots 1 and 2. If this cannot be
accomplished, than a drainage easement would be required for the offsite flows to pass •
through these lots. •
Response: Avery small amount of drainage from the multi -family site enters lots 1, 2,
and 3 and the drainage tract. The minimal drainage enters these lots as sheet flow. There
is only 2500 sq. feet of offsite area contributing runoff to. Lot l . Similarly, there are only
850, 3200, and 830 sq. ft. of area contributing runoff to Lots 2, 3, and the drainage tract,
respectively. The proposed lots are graded using standard FHA grading guidelines that
ensure there is proper drainage around each building envelope. Spot elevations and
drainage arrows shown on the grading plan illustrate that there is appropriate drainage
around each building envelope., Locating a drainage easement on each lot for such a
small amount of offsite contributing area is not necessary due to the negligible amount -of
sheet flow entering the lots.

The -drainage plan does not match in all areas the grading of the site. On Lot 3, there was
a pan directing flow down the side of this lot when the drainage plan shows a basin

these lots. The storm sewer location shown will preclude the installation of electric
facilities. The storm sewer must be changed to provide a location for the electric line.
Also, the. developer will be responsible for replacement of landscaping as necessary on
333 Albion Way.
Response: We -met with Doug on 12-16-02: the electric line will come under Albion Way
from the east side of the street to a•vault on the north property line of Lot 3. e
2 q
The water service to lot #3 must be moved to be a minimum of 6 ft. from the side lot line
to allow for installation of an electric vault.
Response: After meeting with Doug on 12-16-02, the water service will need to be a
minimum of 9.5' from the north•property line of Lot 3. This allows room'for an electric
vault.
