Ok- We are going to go ahead and submit the drawings this am. I haven't heard back from Butch regarding the fire hydrants- I am not sure why he sent us the data on the ones he did in the first place. We will modify the fire flow report once we get that data and hopefully that will be really soon so as not to delay signing the plans this week for permit. Thanks! Melissa Petty Thomas, P.E.

I would still like to go to lunch with you and Morgan some time, Maybe next week?

I'm not sure about Matt's schedule, but I think I will have file://C:\Documents and Settings\ebridges\Local Settings\Temp\XPgrpwise\4DAD5 5B3 City oAQW20d E Page 2 of 6 time to stamp them this week (if everything is in order). >>> Melissa Thomas<mthomas@gessnerengineering.com> 4/18/2011 2:47 PM >>> Thanks so much Erika. What time do you usually receive plans for review on Tuesdays? We are about to have the comments all taken care of except modifying the fire flow data from the different hydrants. I have requested the data from Butch so hopefully we can have that info very soon. Basically, we are wondering if we just turned in the revised engineering plans to you tomorrow (we would go ahead and submit all of the copies for signature, which matt said we could do when I met with him on Friday) and you can just look them over instead of the ones we submitted last Friday. All the items will be taken care of and then hopefully we can get approval this week. They are really in a tight place schedule wise and we can't afford another two week review. Let me know- I am going to go ahead and shift the FDC back to the back of the building which is where it is currently. Thanks! Melissa Petty Thomas, P.E.

He may be out of the office, but I'll let you know when I hear something. It looks like that 20-ft PUE was dedicated by plat. Volume 911, Page 477 That's fine. This is only the a small addition to an existing structure, so we can let the report suffice.

Does the city GPS system have that volume and page for that easement by chance? Also, is the technical design summary really necessary given the very limited scope of this project? I know in the UDO it says that either a drainage report OR the technical Design summary is required and this seems like an instance where the drainage report would suffice. I know on Asked residence, Josh did not require the technical design summary based on the scope and scale of the project. Thanksl Melissa Petty Thomas, P.E.

Hopefully I'll hear back from the fire marshall on Monday do have a few comments on the engineering docs: 1. Label the volume and page number of the existing 20-ft PUE. file://CADocuments and Settings\ebridges\Local Settings\Temp\XPgrpwise\4DAD55133City A 2 12yd F Page 4 of 6 lease connect the proposed sanitary sewer service to the existing line outside of the PUE to minimize the rivate line within an easement. VSince there are 3 fire hydrants surrounding the site, please use flow data from one of those hydrants. Based on that, you can make an assumption that 2 hydrants will provide the 1500 gpm that you need rather than Vplease ming the fire truck will have to pump a single hydrant, provide a copy of Appendix D for the Drainage Report. OpPiease let me know if you have any questions.

I guess we can just shift the FDC back if needed when we submit final plan copies. Revised site plan is attached. Melissa Petty Thomas, P.E.

Quick questions on a few comments: 1. I rotated the FDC to the side of the building facing university oaks. Will that work for it facing the fire lane? I believe the fire lane is university oaks... there is an existing rod iron fence along that side of the house. I know that the existing FDC Is at the back pretty close to where we showed it re -located to. I will have to check on the fire marshal] on this one. Since there is a fence, they may want not want it to face that file://C:\Documents and Settings\ebridges\Local Settings\Temp\XPgrpwise\4DAD55B3City of4CW20d E Page 5 of 6 direction. 2. We added the two fire hydrants that would service the property and the one at the house behind the pi phi house is within 150'. I will call out the fire hydrants on the site plan for clarity. ok 3. I have labeled the water and ss lines as best as we know- the design plans didn't have slopes or pipe types, so it will all have to be field verified which we added to the plan. That's fine 4. what are you looking for in the "note indicating the location of the property with regard to the applicable FEMA firm panel. In the site data table we have a note that states that it is not within the 100 year flood plain per the Tema firm panel. I can submit a copy of the firm panel with the pi phi site sketched in? That note sounds fine. If it was previously there I didn't see it. Thanks Erika! Melissa Petty Thomas, P.E.

Thanks, Erika >>> Melissa Thomas 04/14/11 11:18 AM >>> Thanks for letting me know- hey do you think we could sit down on friday to go through our revisions and make sure we have it all taken care of- we really need to avoid another round of comments if at all possible because of the tight schedule. I think that is possible given the scope of this proejct. Also, any updates on southside plaza approved plans?

I don't anticipate having many more comments based on my review of them on Tuesday. In case I can't get them turned around quick enough, just go ahead and turn in the revised plans anyhow on Monday.
