Engineering has reviewed the initial site plan and offers these review comments for Final Site Plan approval.
SDP2022-00052
1. General
a. WPO202200032 approval is required prior to FSP approval.
b. A public drainage easement plat must be recorded prior to WPO plan approval since Berkmar Dr.
runoff transits site. If an on -site SWM facility is proposed, then easement with deed is also
required for SWM prior to WPO plan approval.
c. A SWM facility maintenance agreement exists for existing dry detention (Kegler's parcel); items
concerning ex. detention basin discussed at length w/25-Aug WP0202200032 review comments.
2. C4.0
a. Retaining wall ht. > 4-ft. requires PE -sealed retaining wall design. Wall ht.>3-ft. requires building
permit.
b. Provide stop sign (also, recommend stop bar) at development entrance at Berkmar Drive.
c. Provide typ. dimensions (L x W) for the 9 parking spaces along 40' pvt. R/W and 3 spaces at N
end of parking lot, east of hotel.
d. Provide stop or yield sign for outbound traffic on self -storage loop at N end of storage building, to
establish r/w and limit potential conflict. Note: Not needed if lift gate located at this location.
e. Recommend convex mirrors at NE, SE corners of self -storage since curve radii at building comers
are tight and sight distance impeded by structure, especially given truck wheelbase of vehicles that
are likely anticipated to use this facility. Alternatively, move loop road away from structure and
increase curve radii at NE /SE comers of self -storage building. Note: Not needed if one-way
traffic around storage building is proposed.
f. If one-way traffic proposed, please provide pavement markings /signs indicating one-way traffic.
g. Design of sidewalk/striped pavement on west side of storage is somewhat ambiguous: please
clarify via line revision, line -type /weight or comment response where 9.5' w sidewalk ends,
which appears to be at south end of tapered striped pavement, which, if true, indicates sidewalk
narrows to 2.0' at that point. 2.0' sidewalk presents risk /should be eliminated as a pedestrian
facility (let sidewalk end, and striped pavement flare to 9.0' w/CG-2, or 9.5' with grading that
prevents storm runoff touching building's west face).
h. Recommend CG-6 along drive aisle /sidewalk along building's west face. Runoff concentrates
against curbing, especially at sidewalk. Gutter minimizes winter icing /pavement fracture issues
which may occur at edge of pavement /FC if runoff concentrates against curb, or structure.
Engineering Review Comments

i. Provide CG-6 for 9 parking spaces at N end of storage building since grade concentrates runoff
against curb at this location.
j. Please label typ. parking space length for spaces facing 5' sidewalk facing proposed hotel.
k. Please revise dumpster pad shading to match heavy duty concrete section line -type (dbl.-diagonal).
1. Dedicate portion of existing parcel to public r/w, as shown, via easement plat for ESP approval.
3. C5.0
a. Eliminate proposed grading on Kegler's (bowling alley) parcel. Any off -site grading requires
permanent easement and /or temporary construction easement. Alternative: Notarized written
agreement of same may be substituted and submitted for review in lieu of recorded easement.
b. Show, label, dimension riprap outlet protection at Str. 100, pipe outfall (LxWxD).
c. Show Aabel roof leader lines from storage building.
d. Provide ditch calculations and ditch lining label for ditch leading to inlet grate structure 106.
e. Provide top spot elevation for Str. 106.
f. Provide TC spot elevation for Str. 114.
g. Provide TC spot elevation for Str. 126.
4. CZO
a. Label proposed public drainage easement which transits property, Berkmar Drive to Str. 100.
b. Easement plat is a separate application and public drainage easement plat must be recorded prior
to WPO plan approval /prior to ESP approval. Also, item Lb. above.
5. C8.0
a. Show riprap outlet protection in Str 100 to Str 110 profile.
b. Show roof leader lines from storage building, as storm profile/s.
c. Str. 104 to Str. 108 caption does not match profile Str. labels. Please revise for consistency.
d. Str. 102 to Str. 112 caption does not match profile Str. labels. Please revise for consistency.
e. Storm 400 profile caption does not match profile Str. labels. Please revise for consistency.
