The Avon Park II Final Site Plan has been reviewed by Engineering. The following comments will need
to be addressed before approval:
1. [Cover Sheet] The plan number is SDP202100049. Rev. 1: Comment addressed.
2. Road plan (SUB202000173) must be approved before final site plan can be approved.
Rev. 1: Comment addressed.
3. Retaining wall behind lots 1-4 must be in an easement and have a maintenance agreement
because it is crossing lot lines. Also, the retaining wall should not be inside a drainage
easement. Rev. 1: The wall still appears to be in the private drainage easement.
4. The grading behind lots 5-12 does not match the approved WPO Plan(WP020200041)
and approved overlot grading plan. Please provide an amendment for the applicable
sheets and ensure the WPO and final site plan grading plans match. Rev. 1: Comment
addressed.
5. The Eastern side of Hathaway Street appears to need CG-12's to cross Desoto Drive.
6. Rev. 1: The roollyard drains should be a minimum of 8". There are a few 6" drains.
