We have reviewed the revised grading, storm water runoff calculations and private utility plans
for the Boutwells Landing/Valley Senior Services Alliance development as submitted by Mr.
Charlie Melcher of Westwood Professional Services, Inc. The grading plan, which was
previously approved on July 22, 1999, has been revised in the proposed park area and the main
campus building area. This is the first formal review of the storm water runoff calculations and
"private" utilities (sanitary sewer, water main and storm sewer in the main campus area). We
offer the following comments/recommendations:
Grading:
1. Proposed grading in the park and main campus area is satisfactory as shown.
2. The 942 and 944 contour lines on the north end of Norwich Circle North should be revised to
match the grades/elevations of the City's utility and street improvement plans.
3. 10 perpendicular parking stalls have been added along the east side of Norwich Circle North
on the revised grading plan. If these parking stalls are to be added to the City's project,
information will need to be provided and construction coordinated with the City's contract
prior to street improvements in this location.
Storm Sewer:
1. The storm water runoff calculations and drainage area map are satisfactory as submitted.
2. Provide appropriate thicknesses of insulation at all storm sewer/water main crossings.
