Final Plat Comments:
1. The easement between lots 21 and 22 is more appropriately a PUE as storm and sanitary
will be located within it.
2. Please adjust the hatching on the Greenway dedicated areas and the Common Area as they
are very similar.
3. The "See Note 6" label on the 100-yr Floodplain Boundary appears to be mislabeled.
4. FYI - Development surrounding the well site will be limited. Please contact the city for
additional information regarding allowed proximity/development in this area.
Construction Document Comments:
1. FYI - During construction, extra caution will need to be used in areas near Conservation
Easement and Deed Restricted Areas to not negatively impact the vegetation and drainage
pathways.
2. FYI - A perimeter fence shall be installed to protect Conservation Easement from off-site
threats during construction.
3. FYI - Modifications to drainage discharge outfalls may be required to protect Conservation
Easement and Deed Restricted Areas. This will be determined at Final Plat stage with
review of construction documents.
4. Is the round storm sewer manhole downstream of Area Inlet No. 1 already being
constructed with the Decatur extension?
5. Will the outlet structure/erosion control measures downstream of Decatur be installed with
the Decatur extension?
6. Would it be appropriate to place a gate valve just past the fire hydrant on Emylee Court as
to be able to isolate the 3-in main and keep the only fire hydrant in use?
7. It appears a drop manhole is needed at Manhole No. 5
8. Please remove all HDPE located under pavement. See below:

require RCP under public pavement. Where storm sewer is not under pavement,

to specifically design and seal the HDPE detail specific to each set of plans and site.
In general we require structural trenching within 5 ft of public back of curbs or under
