Re: DDD L.L.C. — Building #2
Revised Final Plan Review
BRA File No. 55 -03 -000
Dear Judy:
We have reviewed the revised "Preliminary Grading, Erosion Control, Drainage and Utility Plan"
for the proposed DDD L.L.C. - Building No. 2 as submitted by Plowe Engineering, Inc. and have
the following comments /recommendations for your consideration:
1. Both site layout scenarios shown may have parking stalls that would be in conflict with
emergency vehicle turning movements. The stall adjacent to the driveway entrance to 55`
Street North on both scenarios, and the northerly stall where parking stalls are adjacent to the
east side of the building may be in conflict. Verify this issue with the fire department.
2. We recommend more erosion control measures downstream of the proposed southeasterly
curb cut location. The existing ditch is and will be susceptible to erosion, and should include
ditch protection (wood fiber blanket, etc.) and ditch blocking (hay bales, silt fencing, etc.) at
the east -end.
3. Revise the note on the plans that states "To properly restore the erosion control problem
areas it is recommended that the contractor use....." to "To properly restore the erosion
control problem areas the contractor shall use ......"
4. The water main/service as -built information from the first phase appears inaccurate.
Apparently the service to the second building was not installed per plan, and the 6" hydrant
lead did not get corrected accordingly. As shown, the plans do not show how the hydrant
lead connects to the east -west 6" service line. Additionally, it appears there is no valve
located on the 6" service line to the existing building? If this is the case, water service to the
first building cannot be shut down (in case of a break and/or maintenance) without the
second building also being shut down.
