Within three years of the approval and recording of a Final Development Plan,
all engineering improvements must be installed and completed to maintain the
vested property right provided by the recording. If the engineering
improvements are not completed within this three year period the vested right
will be forfeited and any proposed development would need to start the

02/20/2023: FOR FINAL APPROVAL-UPDATED:
The calculations in the Drainage Report appear correct for the detention, WQ,
and total volumes of both ponds, however the text on Page 8 in the Drainage
report does not match the calculations. Please revise.
Response: The drainage report has been updated.
01/20/2023: FOR FINAL APPROVAL-UPDATED:
Lets discuss on Monday. Both detention ponds need to include the quantity
detention volume plus the water quality volume (extended detention).
11/01/2022: FOR FINAL APPROVAL:
The SWMM model states 16.31 AF of storage is required, yet only 14.19 AF is
provided. Please explain the difference. It appears there is plenty of storage to
meet this required volume with adjusting the 100-yr water surface elevation.

02/20/2023: FOR FINAL APPROVAL:
The off-site linear bio-retention pond has a slope of .5%, which in general is
fine, but in this case creates a situation where the pond is not meeting the water
quality volume requirements due to this slope. Typically, the "rain garden" will
have a flat bottom so the volume can be achieved. It appears if the flat bottom
was held at the 4978 contour all the way to the east end, the volume could be
achieved. Please coordinate if you have questions.
Response: The linear bioretention facility has been revised to be a “rain garden” with a flat bottom.

02/20/2023: FOR FINAL APPROVAL:
With the Bundy Lateral ditch being abandoned, storm water flows need to be
accounted for which currently drain into it. The grading plan shows the ditch
grading being preserved for such drainage, but there is no culvert under the
extension of Debra Drive. Please advise on the plan here and add a culvert if
the ditch is to be used for existing drainage.
Response: The grading plan has been updated to show that the Louden ditch is being filled in.
