The metes and bounds of the title report do not match the final plat document. Please review and revise. The metes and bounds on the final plat match the metes and bounds on the nothing further certificate included with this submittal. 2. Are the blanket easements for the City of Bryan and Sinclair active or still in use? If they are not in use but still active, please seek abandonment. v The City of Bryan blanket easement will be released in July. The Sinclair easement is still in use for the EXPLORER pipeline. The property owner is in negotiations with EXPLORER to get a defined easement. 3 The final plat shows the existing 30' PUE has being volume and page number 5363/82 instead of 5363/57. Please revise. The note has been revised. 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 been made aware of will constitute a completely new review. Noted. Please note that you may be required to submit paid tax certificates if they are not current prior to the filing of your plat. Noted. �\ The construction documents and reports are still under review and may affect the plat. Noted. ENGINEERING COMMENTS NO. 1 (Final Plat & Construction Documents) Please place a note on the plat stating the property is not located within an Impact Fee Area. The note has been added to the plat. Please place a note on the plans concerning the ownership and maintenance responsibilities of the "Cross Access Easement ". The note has been added to the plat. Please continue the 20' PUE along the eastern property line without the break. The easement has been extended through the lift station easement. The preliminary plat mylar identifies a 50' Explorer Pipeline Easement, please illustrate on final plat. It is likely that the pipeline easement will be 50' once it is defined. An agreement about the easement has not yet been made, therefore it is not shown on the plat. If the Explorer pipeline easement overlaps the proposed 20' PUE for the proposed sanitary sewer extension, please adjust the alignment of the proposed easement and utility extension. As the attached sketch shows, the sanitary sewer extension is not in the proposed pipeline easement. ease identify detail S1 -03 for proposed connection to manhole on the plans. Note 7 has been added to the sewer line drawing to identify this detail. As the proposed creek crossing does not maintain 3.5 feet of cover, a concrete cap must be used, however it appears you may not have enough cover to construct the cap below the flow line. In talking to Utilities they would prefer a concrete encasement be constructed in order to protect the sanitary sewer main extension. Let me know if you want to discuss different design options or pdf me a proposal to float past Utilities. The actual flow line of the existing Sewerline was significantly lower than the constructions drawings showed. Our proposed design now has more than 3.5' of cover so that a concrete cap is no longer necessary. A steel encasement is still proposed below the creek at a length of 40' instead of 55.. lease update engineers cost estimate. The engineers cost estimate has been updated and is included with this submittal.
