Project: EWING IRRIGATION (SP) - 09-00500035
PLANNING
1. The Mylar for the Final Plat needs to be filed before Site Plan approval will be granted.
2. Please correct the scale. The graphic and scale description do not match.
3. Please remove "Future Building Site" and future building footprint from the site plan.
4. North Arrow is not facing the correct direction.
5. Fire lane needs to be striped.
6. FYI, fire lanes in excess of 100 feet shall provide a turn around as described in the Site
Design Standards. It appears that a fire lane for this site would exceed 100 feet.
7. Label contours on the site plan.
8. FYI, since this property is zoned for Industrial Uses, bicycle parking is not required.
9. FYI, the parking island table references parking islands, but the parking islands are not
labeled on the plan.
10. FYI, a chain link fence is considered visually offensive and will need to be screened 100%
from view. An alternative type of fencing may work better for the project.
11. Utility easements are allowed to be fenced if unlocked gates are provided to allow free
movement of excavating machines, maintenance equipment, and personnel throughout the
full length of the easement.
12. The 10' PUE southeast of the property appears to be shown as 5'. Please revise.
13. Please remove the "Variable Width ROW Dedication" as that was dedicated with the plat.
14. Will there be a curb at the western portion of the existing building? The curb appears to stop
at the parking island.
15. FYI, curbing is required at the perimeter of all paved surfaces. It does not appear a curb is
being shown between the buffer yard and pavement, nor at the western portion of the site.
16. The three parking spaces at the back of the property will need to be 9' x 20' unless a
landscaped island with a minimum depth of 4' abuts the parking spaces.
17. Add a general note that signs are permitted separately.
18. Please state how solid waste will be handled (i.e. roll-off container).
19. In regards to the buffer yard, all new plantings and irrigation are required to be
located outside an easement. Staff would like to setup a facilitation meeting to
discuss the buffer yard requirement. Please contact me at 764.3570 to setup a
meeting time.
20. Please note that any changes made to the plans, that have not been requested by the City
of College Station, must be explained in your next transmittal letter and "bubbled" on your
plans. Any additional changes on these plans that the City has not be made of aware of will
constitute a completely new review.

2. The square footage for points does not appear to match the acreage of the property.
3. The flume spillways will need to be treated so as to replicate stone, wood, or other
alternatives approved by the administrator per LIDO section 7.8.B.2. Detention Pond
Aesthetic Design.
4. Please provide a detail regarding the proposed buffer wall and fence.

MISCELLANEOUS
1. Irrigation system must be protected by either a Pressure Vacuum Breaker, a Reduced
Pressure Principle Back Flow Device, or a Double-Check Back Flow Device, and installed
as per City Ordinance 2394.
2. All BackFlow devices must be installed and tested upon installation as per City Ordinance
2394.
ENGINEERING COMMENTS NO. 1
1. As was discussed in the PAC meeting, a fire hydrant is required on the north side of
Graham Rd. to serve the property. Please provide a plan and profile drawing for the fire
hydrant and waterline extension. FYI The fire hydrant must be within a PUE.
2. Please provide a sealed cost estimate.
3. Please provide a fire flow report.
4. Site Plan - Please provide volume and page number on all existing easements.
5. Site Plan - Please label the detention pond and storm sewer conduit as "Private."
6. Site Plan - Please verify that the proposed masonry wall will not block existing drainage.
7. Site Plan - Please show proposed water and sewer service lines. Water meters will need to
be within a PUE.
8. Site Plan - Please show and label existing water service line tying into existing building.
Water meters should be within a PUE.
9. Site Plan - Please revise General Construction Note #2.
10. Site Plan - Please provide sewer demand calculations.
11. Site Plan - Please label contours.
12. Grading Plan - No more than a 6% grade is allowed on any length of fire lane. Please
revise.
13. Grading Plan - The drainage swale along the eastern property line should be labeled.
14. Grading Plan - Please label the slopes along the drainage swales and flumes.
15. Grading Plan - The inflow elevation of the 12-inch pipes doesn't match the given contours.
Please verify.
16. Grading Plan - Based on the contours, it does not appear that water will be accumulating
where the 12-inch pipe inflow is located. How are the 12-inch storm sewer pipes proposed
to function? Is additional grading proposed?
17. Grading Plan - Please label the emergency spillway and provide key elevations.
18. Erosion Control Plan - Erosion control measures should be shown on Sheet C2.
19. Drainage Report - (Appendix D - Pg. 8) Please provide the acreage of the offsite runoff
received on this property.
20. Drainage Report - (Appendix D) In the Executive Summary it was stated that a portion of
the site's runoff flows to Edelweiss Estates' detention pond. This should be documented in
Appendix D.
21. Drainage Report - Please verify the drainage areas provided in the HEC-HMS data tables.
These tables seem to indicate that the site is much larger than it is.
22. Drainage Report - Please provide a detention pond analysis for the 10-yr storm event.
23. Drainage Report - Please provide HEC-HMS data for the 50-yr storm event.
24. Drainage Report - Please clarify the difference between the "EV and "POND" acreages
provided in the table.
25. Drainage Report - Should the "EV impervious cover percentage be 31 % in Exhibit D?
26. Drainage Report - Please verify that the "POND" impervious cover percentage is only 67%.
27. FYI A copy of the private access easement is required prior to CO.
28. FYI A building permit will be required for the masonry wall.
29. FYI The subject tracts are located within a Graham Sewer Impact Fees Area
($316.07/LUE).
30. FYI We would recommend that you avoid planting trees with large root systems close to
or on top of shallow utility lines, especially within PUEs. These trees may create
maintenance issues in the future, and they would have to be replaced at the owner's
expense if they were removed or damaged due to utility line repair.

structure is over thirty feet in height.
2) Fire lanes to be marked according to City Ordinance.
3) A Knox Box is required for the new structure.

1. Sh.C4 - A TS&V can only be used on a 12-in waterline if the tap diameter is 6-in or less.
Please revise plans and cost estimate.
2. Sh.C4 - A minimum 16-in encasement pipe is required for the 8-in waterline crossing.
Please revise the plans and cost estimate.
3. Sh.C4 - A dry bore is required for the waterline crossing Graham Rd. Please revise the

4. Sh.C4 - Please verify that the fire hydrant is no closer than 5.5-ft to the closest edge of the
PUE.
5. Sanitary Letter - According to the sanitary sewer letter, uniform distribution of flow
throughout the day is assumed. Given this assumption, should the daily flow be 1260 gpd?
6. Grading - Please verify that you were able to maintain appropriate cover over the existing
gas and sanitary utilities with the revised entrance grading.
