I will be your primary point of contact throughout the development review and
permitting process. If you have any questions, need additional meetings with the
project reviewers, or need assistance throughout the process, please let me
know and I can assist you and your team. Please include me in all email
correspondence with other reviewers and keep me informed of any phone
conversations. Thank you!
Ripley Design Response: Thank you, Todd!

As part of your resubmittal, you will respond to the comments provided in this
Page 2 of 8
letter. This letter is provided to you in Microsoft Word format. Please use this
document to insert responses to each comment for your submittal, using a
different font color.
When replying to the comment letter please be detailed in your responses, as
all comments should be thoroughly addressed. Comments requiring action
should NOT have a response such as noted or acknowledged. You will need to
provide references to specific project plans, pages, reports, or explanations of
why comments have not been addressed [when applicable].
Ripley Design Response: Noted, thank you.

Please follow the Electronic Submittal Requirements and File Naming
Standards found at https://www.fcgov.com/developmentreview/files/electronic
submittal requirements and file naming standards_v1_8 1 19.pdf?1566857888.
File names should begin with the file type, followed by the project information, and round number.
Example: UTILITY PLANS_PROJECT NAME_PDP_Rd2.pdf
File type acronyms maybe appropriate to avoid extremely long file names.
Example: TIS for Traffic Impact Study, ECS for Ecological Characterization Study.
Reach out to me if you would like a list of suggested names.
*Please disregard any references to paper copies, flash drives, or CDs.
All plans should be saved as optimized/flattened PDFs to reduce file size and remove layers.
Per the Electronic Submittal Requirements AutoCAD SHX attributes need to be
removed from the PDF’s.
AutoCAD turns drawing text into comments that appear in the PDF plan set,
and these must be removed prior to submittal as they can cause issues with the PDF file.
The default setting is "1" ("on") in AutoCAD. To change the setting and remove
this feature, type "EPDFSHX" (version 2016.1) or “PDFSHX (version 2017 and
newer) in the command line and enter "0".

Once your project has been formally reviewed by the City and you have received
comments, please resubmit within 180 days, approximately 6 months, to avoid
the expiration of your project.
When you resubmit, I will route within the next 24 hours for a 1 -week review period. This will be
adjusted if necessary by any Staff scheduled time off if it will affect their review availability.We will
provide review results back to you as quickly as possible.
Ripley Design Response: Noted, thank you. Note: the site, landscape, hydrozone, and irrigation plans are being submitted with
this round as one combined PDF with a table of contents at the beginning.

04/01/2024: FOR FINAL APPROVAL - UPDATED:
Thank you for the update on the status of the crossing agreement. Once the
draft is finished, please send it to City staff so it can be reviewed by the City
Attorney's Office. The crossing agreement will need to be recorded ahead of
the Recording Docs process for the rest of the plans, so that the reception
number of the crossing agreement can be noted on the plans.
DHI Response: We will continue to follow up with Lake Canal to try to expedite the crossing agreement.
02/27/2024: FOR FINAL APPROVAL:
A crossing agreement with Lake Canal will be required for the pedestrian
bridge before this project can be approved. Please keep us posted on the
status of this crossing agreement, which will need to be reviewed by the City Attorney's Office.
Comment Number: 39
04/01/2024: INFORMATION - UPDATED:
The first draft of the Development Agreement was sent to the developer's
representative on March 29. We will coordinate through email to arrive at the final draft.
DHI Response: Thank you!
02/27/2024: INFORMATION:
I am working on a plan for moving forward with the Development Agreement. I
will let you know when I have more information.

04/01/2024: FOR FINAL APPROVAL - REVISED:
On the plat, please update Note F under the Special Drainage Easement. The
note should refer specifically to Subsections II.C. and II.M. of the Development
Agreement, now that the DA has been drafted. See my redlines.
HKS Survey – Note F has been revised to add Subsections II.C. and II.M. of the Development
Agreement specifically.

04/02/2024: FOR FINAL APPROVAL:
Please review the redlines and make minor adjustments as needed. My
redlines are mostly about linework, shading, and labeling issues. At this point,
please do not make any changes to the number of pages, order of pages, or
viewports in the utility plan set. Any of these types of changes will double the
amount of time it takes to review the utility plan set, possibly causing delays in
the recording process. Please do not make any design changes unless
requested by other City departments. Any design changes will trigger an
additional round of review instead of the recording process.
HKS Engineering response: Noted, please see attached redlined responses for responses for the minor adjustments. Note that a
couple of very minor tweaks were made (mostly chasing comments through, and call outs on the redlined plans are pointing out
the revisions)
Comment Number: 43
04/02/2024: INFORMATION:
At the DCP meeting on March 27, we discussed the possibility of a phasing
plan. My understanding is that the applicant would prefer to get the plans
approved in their current state and then do a revision to utility plans while
starting construction. Please note that both the utility plan and the Development
Agreement will need to be revised through a Minor Amendment process in
order to add a phasing plan after the FDP has been approved.
DHI Response: Noted. We plan to move forward with a single phase as currently shown in the plans.

The Development Agreement will need to include provisions for the developer
repay for the A2 storm main, A3 storm main, and Redwood Pond (landscaping
only). To start on this, we need you to provide an engineer’s cost estimate with
line items and quantities for our review. The City’s developer repay process will
need to be followed, which will include obtaining 3 competitive and qualified
bids for these items. The low bid contractor does not have to be selected, but
sets the price for what the City will reimburse. We can discuss this further with you.

04/02/2024: FOR FINAL APPROVAL:
The electric service for the Redwood Pond irrigation controller will not be
designed and installed by the City, as noted on the plans, this will be the

The 100-yr detention orifice plate in the Redwood Pond has the wrong size on
the plans: 3.5-inch vs 12.5-inch. There is also a mistake in the body of the
drainage report. The calculations in the appendix are correct and match the
SWMM model. Please review and correct on the plans and in the body of the
drainage report. See redlines.
HKS Engineering response: Plans have been revised.

04/04/2024: FOR DEVELOPMENT CONSTRUCTION PERMIT:
There is an ongoing drainage problem created by the onsite stockpile. Offsite
drainage from the neighborhood west of the site is being backed up by the
stockpile. This will need to be resolved before the DCP permit can be issued. I
am currently working with the onsite contractor to resolve. On onsite meeting is
scheduled for 4/10 at 10:30.
DHI Response: We are prepared to mitigate this issue however necessary.
