iii. Please provide SL-1 profile label (safety slab) for MH Str. 102, and any other MH Str.
where the difference between top of structure and INV OUT > 12-ft.
iv. Revise depth /slope of pipe 107 so that 20' easement width for this pipe (C4.1) may be
minimized to extent possible. 20' easement width jeopardizes hotel foundation (strip
footer) and likely conflicts with retaining wall. Amending depth /slope of pipe 107
requires adjustment to pipe 300, as well, but it appears possible to raise both pipes.
(Please see ACDSM easement width diagram, below, item 3.e.)
c. Show /label a public drainage easement extending from UG detention system (SWM easement)
that is centered on the facility outfall pipe, OF, to the property boundary. (FSP) NA. Applicant:
`As mentioned above, the UG detention system has been removed with this submission. All
proposed drainage easements for the other storm structures/sewer have been provided on sheet
C4. L'

proposed to pass beneath retaining wall near Olympia Drive. Consider and discuss alternatives, or
if no alternative SWM facility outfall location exists, establish this via notes, labels, etc. (FSP)
Persists. Applicant: `The retaining wall design will not be submitted for the first submission of the
final site plan. The retaining wall will be designed by a structural engineer and detailed for the
second submission of the final site plan. We are actively working with geotechnical and structural
engineers to design a retaining wall that integrates a guardrail and provides relief for the proposed
outfall pipe. As mentioned above, the UG detention system has been removed with this
submission.'
e. It is not possible without SWM detention profile to evaluate proposed SWM facility easement
with precision. As design advances, please consult ACDSM, P. 15, Easement diagram to
determine required SWM facility easement width. (FSP) Withdrawn. Applicant: `As mentioned
above, the UG detention system has been removed, and has been replaced with storm pipe for the
proposed storm system. All proposed easements have been provided on sheet C4. L'
