Mr. Eric Johnson
We have reviewed the Development Plans, for M&I Bank as submitted by McCombs Frank Roos Associates.
Following are our comments and/or recommendations.
Sheet['Z.O1A
1. Verify the location of the northerly property line,
2. An easement needs to be dedicated for the trail on the north side of the property.
8leet[-3.O1A
1. A pedestrian ramp should be called out at the Wal-Mart Diive.
2. A "Fire Lane, No Padking^ sign is shown on the plans; however the location of the sign is not
identified on the site pan.
3. The plan calls out bollards at 14 locations; however these locations are not easy to identify.
Sheet[-4.O1AA
1 On the wes side there is an existing 936.0 contour that forms a drainage area or swale within the
property line. The proposed contours do not dentify the Iocation of the new 936.0 contour and
how it wiH connect with the existing 936.0 contour. The pro d contours direc storm water to
the west, rather than to the north as it currently exists.
2. Verify that the cross siope on the path is at a maximum 2%. It appeais that the grade along the
south side of the path isst937.O and the north side isatg36.O.
3. Clearly identify the high points on the plans.
4. Verify the contour lines southwest of the transformer pad. They appear to be greater than 3:1.
