RE: 1520 West Vine Drive – Site Drainage and Erosion Control Report
Dear Kai,
GENERAL INFORMATION
The proposed development located at 1520 West Vine Drive includes the construction of a four
bedroom single family residence on a large vacant lot. The total structure square footage is 2,593
including the two car garage and will be situated on a 1.44 acre site. Access will be utilized from
the existing driveway at 1516 West Vine Drive and onto West Vine Drive. A separate emergency
pervious gravel surface access will be constructed adjacent to the existing 1516 West Vine Drive
and will access onto West Vine Drive.
SITE DRAINAGE
The site is located just north of West Vine Drive and slopes gradually less than 0.33% to the
southeast towards West Vine Drive. Due to the small footprint of the proposed structure and
driveway that are located on 1.44 acres, runoff is expected to be very minimal. There are no
proposed storm sewer or detention pond designed for this site. Drainage is likely to infiltrate into
the soil or gradually migrate to West Vine Drive and very slowly drain to the east.
As shown in the attachment, the Q100 pre-development runoff from the site is 0.93 cfs versus the
Q100 post development runoff of 1.79 cfs. The additional runoff pre-development versus post-
development is 987 cubic feet of water or 0.02 acre feet.
The site is also located in both the City Floodway and City Flood Fringe. The finish floor, ductwork,
HVAC, and electrical components of the proposed structure will be constructed at an elevation
2.5 feet above the 100 year water surface elevation for that area. For the City Floodway area, all
proposed development will be constructed to the existing elevation or just below the existing
elevation to prevent a rise in the water surface elevation. An elevation certification will be provided
once construction is completed for both the structure and the portions of the driveway constructed
in the floodway.
The structure will be elevated with existing soil material backfilled, compacted and sloping down
from the just below the finish floor at a 4:1 slope to the existing ground. This slope will provide
positive drainage away from the structure.
EROSION CONTROL
Erosion Control measures for the proposed improvements have been shown on the Landscape
and Erosion Control Plan. Erosion control measures include silt fence surrounding and located
just outside the construction limits of the project. As stated in the drainage section, the site is
relatively flat which will help minimize sediment runoff. During rain events, sediment will be
captured by the silt fence and prevented from traveling offsite.
The proposed construction limits is approximately 32,000 sf or 0.74 acres. Since the site will
disturbed less than one acre, a storm water discharge will not be required. However, if the
contractor decides to expand the area, a permit will be required prior to doing so.
The site will also include a sediment tracking pad at the construction site exit. This will include
larger aggregate or fabricated pad to be selected by the project Contractor. This will minimize
material being tracked offsite onto West Vine Drive. In the event material is tracked offsite, the
Contractor will be responsible to remove said material and dispose of properly.
The site includes one storm sewer pipe culvert that is located at West Vine Drive and the proposed
emergency access. Straw waddles will be placed at the entrance of the pipe culvert to minimize
sediment entering said pipe culvert. In the event sediment enters the pipe, the Contractor will be
responsible to remove said material and dispose of properly.
The Contractor will modify erosion control measures as necessary for conditions, and construction
phases. The final stages of construction will include seeding and reclamation efforts. Once the
site has been stabilized with final surfacing materials and vegetation, the Owner or Contractor will
be able to remove the silt fence and straw waddles.
STOCKPILING OPERATIONS
Stockpiling of dirt during construction may be necessary for the sequencing of construction
activities and should be somewhat minimal and temporary for this site. Stockpiles that are
generated shall be contained within the silt fence area to minimize sediment issues. It is
anticipated stockpile material will be utilized to backfill around the concrete foundation once
concrete strength has been achieved.
STRUCTURE CONSTRUCTION
The excavated dirt in and around the building needs to be contained during construction so
sediment is not transported to the parking lot during storm events. This should be contained by
means of silt fence or straw wattles. Dirt that will remain for an extended period of time shall be
covered with reinforced poly plastic sheets ore seeded.
SUMMARY
Due to existing conditions, slopes of the property and comparing the size of the proposed
development to the existing lot, no negative impacts are anticipated for this development or create
issues for adjacent properties.
