developer's agreement that should repair or replacement of the existing public sanitary sewer
and/or water main ever be necessary, any costs associated with the removal /replacement of
the trash enclosures and A.C. condenser units will be the responsibility of the homeowner(s)
or association. This also applies to the parking lot, sidewalk and footbridge improvements
proposed within this easement.
Grading/Drainage. __
5. The development basically proposes to drain storm water runoff half to the east and half to
the west. To the east, a "free- form" stone flume with riprap at the end will discharge to the
existing ditch along the west side of Oakgreen Avenue. To the west, storm water runoff is
currently proposed to drain northerly overland (along the east side of the Pondview Condo
driveway) to an existing storm sewer catch basin off this site. We require drainage
calculations and a drainage area map showing how post - development storm water will enter
the existing system. The downstream pond adjacent to bo Street N. (Hwy. 36 frontage
road) is capable of handling post - development flow from this site.
Sanitary Sewer and Water Main:
6. Existing sanitary sewer and water mains existing through the center of this site. This
development proposes to connect each unit directly to these mains with individual sewer and
water services. Since the existing sewer will be exposed in a dozen places, we recommend
the condition of the existing clay sewer pipe be televised prior to, or visually inspected
during, construction.
7. Verify existing hydrant locations (need for any new hydrants) with the Fire Department.
