04/11/2017: 1 see that there is a proposed 8" pipe to allow for an outfall for
attenuated runoff from Lot 6; however, it does not address the current conditions
and where the eastern portion of Lot 6 drains. The referenced drainage report
states that there will be additional drainage analysis required for the eastern
portion of Lot 6. Where does this area drain to now? The current condition
needs to be accounted for so there is still an outfall prior to any future
development of Lot 6. The pipe can be used to provide conveyance; however,
an adequate easement will need to be provided and it will also need to be
shown that the proposed pipe is sized to convey the flows - that is, these off -site
flows need to be quantified.
02/22/2017: Please provide additional information about the existing detention
basin on site that is proposed to be removed. How will its removal affect
drainage for this site/area? What area does it currently serve? Are there
off -site flows entering the site that need to be routed?

identified on plans (AA, BB, CC). This needs to be explicit to avoid confusion in
ordering and installation and significantly aids City Staff if there are issues or
