Comment Number: 10 Comment Originated: 05/17/2016
05/17/2016: The utility plans still show the walkway between lots 1 and 3, but
your response to the comment letter indicates that this walkway was eliminated
from the plans. Is it possible to keep the walkway as shown on the utility plans?
Hauser Architects Response: Added to the architectural site plan.
Comment Number: 11 Comment Originated: 05/17/2016
05/17/2016: Consider adding a small landscaped island to define the western
end of the parking area.
Hauser Architects Response: A landscape island will not work well here. We have
a trash enclosure on the west side of the addition and an island would pose an
obstacle for the trash pick up.

05/18/2016: FIRE LANE MARKING
The limits of the fire lane shall also be identified along the length of the
Emergency Access Easement in Lot 2.
Hauser Architects Response: A note for additional signage on Lot 2 was added.
Please note that the signage will be located on the building as pole mounted signage
will disrupt traffic flow. Please refer to sheet BDR2, Emergency Access Plan.

05/18/2016: HYDRANT RELOCATION
Relocation of the hydrant will require fire department review and approval.
Hauser Architects Response: A meeting was held on April 29th to discuss the fire hydrant
location. In attendance was Terry Farrill, Jim Lynxwiler, our Civil Engineer along with others
involved with this project. A new location was agreed upon and an exhibit was emailed to Jim on
May 23. Approval was granted.

Comment Number: 7 Comment Originated: 12/14/2015
03/15/2016: Please clarify in the narrative of the report what the allowable
release rate is from the site (2-yr historic rate minus undetained basins)
12/14/2015: This report needs to clarify which basins are running through and
into the detention pond. All site runoff needs to be captured into the extended
detention basin. If not all stormwater runoff can be routed toward and captured
in the detention basin, then over-detention will need to be provided so that the
overall release rate from the site is not exceeding the 2-year historic rate.
Comment Number: 9 Comment Originated: 12/14/2015
03/15/2016: The LID ordinance has been updated to the following
requirements:
Option A: no less than 75% of any newly developed or redeveloped areas must
be treated using one or a combination of LID techniques
Option B: no less than 50% of any newly developed or redeveloped areas must
be treating using one or a combination of LID techniques; and permeable
pavement must cover 25% of driveable surfaces.
Please include calculations and an exhibit showing how you meet the
percentage requirements. The bioretention calculation can be done using the
UDFCD RG spreadsheet.
12/14/2015: Low Impact Development (LID) is required for this site. LID
requires a higher degree of water quality treatment for 50% of the new
impervious area and 25% of new paved areas must be pervious. Standard
operating procedures (SOPs) for all onsite drainage facilities will be included
as part of the Development Agreement. More information and links can be
found at:

Comment Number: 14 Comment Originated: 12/14/2015
03/15/2016: Please include the wq orifice sizing calculations.
12/14/2015: The proposed outlet structure needs to be an extended detention
outlet structure with hydraulic calculations included.
Comment Number: 15 Comment Originated: 12/14/2015
03/15/2016: Your response indicated that this was provided but I did not see it.
Please provide.
12/14/2015: The proposed storm pipe profiles need to include the 100-yr
hydraulic grade line in the profile view.
Comment Number: 16 Comment Originated: 05/12/2016
05/12/2016: Sheet C3.0 – the proposed grade contours on the grading plan
indicate that there is a 38 contour at the outlet structure, which tells me that the
highest level that water can pond in the detention basin is to elevation 38 rather
than the 38.6 that you have designed to. Please either revise the grading plan or
revise the calculations.
Comment Number: 17 Comment Originated: 05/12/2016
05/12/2016: Sheet C3.2 – Detail #3 – the 8” drain pipe detail shows inverts
that aren’t going to work. Please revise.
Comment Number: 18 Comment Originated: 05/12/2016
05/12/2016: Sheet C3.2 – Detail #2 – 100-yr HGL still needs to be provided on
this detail.
Comment Number: 19 Comment Originated: 05/12/2016
05/12/2016: Sheet C3.2 – Detail #1 – Please clarify if you’re proposing an 8”
or 12” outlet pipe. Water quality orifice calculations still need to be provided.
Comment Number: 20 Comment Originated: 05/12/2016
05/12/2016: The report indicates that the 2-yr historic release rate is 2.84 cfs,
but I can’t determine how you came up with this value. The Existing Drainage
Sub-basins exhibit in the report indicates that the 2-yr historic flows from each
basin are: 2.06 cfs, 0.32 cfs and 0.29 cfs. The 0.29 cfs is subtracted from the
allowable release because its released undetained from the site, so the
remaining release rate is 2.38 cfs.
Comment Number: 21 Comment Originated: 05/12/2016
05/12/2016: The initial Time of Concentration equation is still incorrect. Please
revise the rational method calculations with the correct Ti equation. (This
equation is provided on the Time of Concentration sheet of the template
spreadsheet that I sent you.) It looks to me like these revised time of
concentration amounts may show higher runoff values (including in the historic
condition) so you will also need to update the detention sizing calculations too.
Comment Number: 22 Comment Originated: 05/12/2016
05/12/2016: The report indicates that there is ½’ of freeboard provided in the
detention pond, but it looks to me like there is no freeboard. It also looks like the
pond depth shown on the grading plan (up to elevation 38) is not the same as
what you assume in your volume capacity calculations (elevation 38.6). These
two items need to be reconciled.

Comment Number: 23 Comment Originated: 05/12/2016
05/12/2016: Water quality orifice calculations still need to be provided.
Comment Number: 24 Comment Originated: 05/12/2016
05/12/2016: Sizing calculations for the rain garden still haven’t been provided.
Raingardens can easily be sized using the UD-BMP.xlsm spreadsheet. If you
can’t find this file on the UDFCD website, please contact me and I can send it to
you.
Comment Number: 25 Comment Originated: 05/12/2016
05/12/2016: An LID exhibit still needs to be provided showing how you’re
meeting the ordinance requirements. An exhibit with a calculation table should
be able to show that 75% of the impervious areas on the site are draining into
the rain garden.
Comment Number: 26 Comment Originated: 05/12/2016
05/12/2016: The pipe capacity diagrams shown in the plans don’t match what
is shown on the plans. Also, please ensure that the detention pond outlet pipe
can convey the 2-yr historic release rate (~2.38 cfs).
Comment Number: 27 Comment Originated: 05/12/2016
05/12/2016: Since there are still several items that have either not been
provided or still do not seem to be accurate, I would suggest that we have a
meeting (or at least discuss the comments over the phone) to review remaining
items and to make sure that the comments being provided are understood and
so that further direction can be provided if needed. Please call Heather
McDowell at 224-6065 to set up a meeting.

Topic: Erosion Control
Comment Number: 1 Comment Originated: 12/08/2015
05/16/2016: The submitted erosion control plan and escrow calculation were
acceptable. The erosion control report was significantly lacking the materials to
justify it meeting the criteria. The report was missing the following materials 1)
Existing Percent vegetation 2) The closest receiving waters and the paths to
those waters. 3) Identify Potential Pollutant source and then describe the means
to control those sources. Specifically the identified 13. a)Disturbed and stored
soils b) vehicle tracking of sediment c) management of contaminated soils d)
loading and unloading operations e) outdoor storage activities f) equipment
maintenance and fueling g) significant particulate generation h)routine
maintenance activities i) on-site waste management j) concrete washing k)
dedicated asphalt or concrete batch plant l)non industrial waste sources 4) No
mention of the vegetation method including the soil types, seed mixes, soil
amendments or mulches. If you need clarification concerning the erosion control
section, or if there are any questions please contact Jesse Schlam
970-218-2932 or email @ jschlam@fcgov.com
3/9/2016: The submitted erosion control plan sheet has redlines that need to be
addressed based upon the changes to the plan. The erosion control report was
to the pre 2012 (old) standards. The Storm Drainage Criteria manual was
updated back in December of 2012; since that time, all materials have met
6
5
those standards. Please reference the accompanying document provided in the
erosion control report to help meet current standards for an eroison control
report. Erosion Control Escrow Calculation will also need to be provided and
example of that escrow calculation and the accompanying document can be
found at www.fcgov.com/erosion
12/08/2015: The site disturbs more than 10,000 sq-ft, therefore Erosion and
Sediment Control Materials need to be submitted. The erosion control
requirements are in the Stormwater Design Criteria under the Amendments of
Volume 3 Chapter 7 Section 1.3.3. Current Erosion Control Materials
Submitted do not meet requirements. Please submit; Erosion Control Plan (Has
redlines), Erosion Control Report (Was not found or was not routed), and an
Escrow / Security Calculation (Was not found or was not routed). If you need
clarification concerning the erosion control section, or if there are any questions
please contact Jesse Schlam 970-218-2932 or email @ jschlam@fcgov.com

05/18/2016: There are line over text issues. See redlines.
Hauser Architects Response: Fixed.
Comment Number: 31 Comment Originated: 05/18/2016
05/18/2016: Some of the easement descriptions shown are incorrect. If they
are going to stay on the plan, they should match what is shown on the
Subdivision Plat.
Hauser Architects Response: The easement wording matches the Plat.
