1. Please add this note to the site plan: "This entire property is considered as one
building plot when it comes to parking and signage. If the total build out of this site is
anticipated to be over 20,000s.f. /50,000s.f. The appropriate non-residential
standards will apply. If you do not meet the 20,000s.f. / 50,000sf standards and the
total build out exceeds this, the developer/property owner will be required to retrofit
the development to meet Section 7.9.D.3. / 7.9.1 Additional Standards of the Unified
Development Ordinance".
2. (FYI) If bollards are being proposed in the dumpster enclosure, please be aware that
that their must be 12-feet of clearance for sanitation trucks to access. Please provide
a dumpster detail.

1. You will need to submit a flood study to the CoCS, which would suffice for the
LOMR, as well as all required FEMA applications, prior to receiving a
Development Permit. Please include sanitary sewer creek crossing detail in the
study.
2. You will need to submit a letter from the property owner, certifying that they will
submit the LOMR and associated fees within 6 mo. of completing the proposed
project.
3. Please submit a detailed grading plan and construction documents for the
proposed retaining wall construction. One specific concern is the construction of
the retaining wall footings in relationship to the floodway.
4. Due to the extensive work that will have to be done along the creek for the
proposed retaining wall, please submit a letter certifying that the proposed work
along the creek is covered under the USACE (Corp) General Nationwide Permit.
5. FYI: On several sheets in plan view there appears to be a floodway
encroachment by the retaining wall, please revise as needed.

1. (Sheet C1.1 and throughout) Remove "Floodway from Plat 3490/269".
2. (Sheet C2.1) Please elevate the sanitary sewer line at creek crossing as much as
possible.
3. (Sheet C2.1) Please update creek crossing encasement detail note to verify that
the steel encasement pipe will have a 3/8" wall thickness. Is steel encasement
and ductile iron required?
4. (Sheet C2.1) Carrier pipe for bore is labeled as 6-in?
5. (Sheet C2.1) Please update bore detail note to verify that the steel encasement
pipe will have a 3/8" wall thickness. Is steel encasement and ductile iron
required?
6. (Sheet C2.2, C2.3, C2.4) Please verify floodplain and floodway elevations at
each bridge crossing. I ran some calculations and found the floodplain and
floodway elevations to be slightly higher than what you proposed.
7. (Sheet C2.2, C2.3, C2.4) In profile view your floodplain and floodway labeled
elevations do not match your vertical scale, please revise.
8. The proposed saw cut of Lincoln and the existing driveway apron will not be
allowed. Would you consider extending the needed main from the 16" already on
the west side of Lincoln near the University intersection?
9. You may be able to locate you hydrant near the entrance off Lincoln in the
existing easement if you can get your FDC within 150' of that location.
10. Due to upcoming changes in the Design Guidelines, PUEs are no longer needed
for fire lines entering buildings. If you can get your FDC within 150' of your
hydrant, you may be able to locate your hydrant and meters in the already
existing easement along Lincoln.
11. Please revise water report accordingly.
12. Vehicular Bridge No. 2 appears to require off site improvement for construction of
the retaining wall. Please provide permission from the off-site land owner for this
construction.
13. How will the two vehicular bridges function as far pedestrian traffic?
14. I assume the sanitary sewer extension is being considered private infrastructure?
15. The temporary blanket easement dedication application requires a copy of the
plat and a metes and bounds description (Application Items #3 and #4).
16. Donnie reviewed the SWPP and thought it was well put together. Donnie has
attached the worksheet that the state uses to assess fines; there are a few
comments for your future reference.
17. FYI: If this property subdivides in the future, extension of public utilities to each
lot will be required.
18. FYI: Per Title 44 Part 65.3 of the CFR, the LOMR for this project has to be
submitted within 6 mo. of completion of the improvements.
