ENGINEERING COMMENTS NO. 1
1. Please illustrate all existing driveways and culverts along Holleman. Please label any
additional existing driveways and culverts to be removed by developer at the time of site
plan development, as only one driveway access off Holleman will be allowed with the
proposed development.
2. The public sanitary sewer main extended from Wellborn Road direction needs to be
extended as far as the Butler tract having frontage on Holleman Drive. The existing layout
appears to require off -site easements.
3. The sanitary sewer system internal to the site will need to be private and built to building
code standard, please label accordingly.
4. Please illustrate all existing public utilities surrounding the property.
5. Please illustrate how the RV Park will be metered (ie. individual meters, several master
meters or one overall master meter). All service lines beyond the meter are considered
private.
6. The water service lines should not "looped" back to the proposed mains.
7. The 8-inch public main off Holleman should be tied into your public water line loop. One
option might be to tap the 8-inch main off Dowling closer to the intersection at Holleman, run
a parallel line along Dowling, then along the eastern property boundary, pick up the existing
dead end fire hydrant line, then run down the southern property boundary and tie into
Holleman and avoid a duplicate parallel line along Holleman. Meters and hydrants could be
strategically located along this "public loop" in order to meter groups of RV sites off each
meter. All lines after the meters are private and should not be looped.
8. The southwest portion of the subject tract is encroached by a future thoroughfare that aligns
with Saddle Lane per the City's Thoroughfare plan. During platting the subject tract will be
responsible for the right of way dedication and construction of the subject thoroughfares
apron connection to Holleman Drive.
9. After platting and during site plan the following items will be required:
a. All documents required with Site Plan and Development Permit Application
Check Lists.
b. Engineer's Letter of Acknowledgement
c. Engineer's cost estimate
d. Plan and profile for all extension of public mains
e. Engineered fire flow report
f. Engineered drainage report and technical design summary
g. If the detention facility is proposed to discharge off site or changes the existing
sheet flow characteristics that currently exists, an off -site private drainage
improvements and easement would need to be secured in order to facilitate the
conveyance of the storm water discharge
h. Summary of domestic water and waste water demands
i. The subject tract is located in the Steeplechase -Wellborn Sanitary Sewer Impact
Fee Area
