With the grading and site constraints, the main entrance to the hotel is lower
than the entrance grading. Trench drains have been placed in front of the main
entrance of the hotel, and the pavement is crested near the entrance to ensure
positive drainage away from the entrance Most of this area is covered with an
overhang, reducing the actual runoff to this area. Inlet sizing calculations will
be provided with the WPO plans.
FSP : Addressed. (Note): Calc shown on WPO plan, Sheet C6.2.
m. Ensure parking lot grade near S entrance to hotel is < 5%; -5.25% impermissible.
[18-4.12.15.c.]
With the grading constraints of the site and access requirements, we currently

the retaining wall and submitted for the second submission of the final site
plan. A note of this has been added to sheets C4.0 and C5.0.
FSP : Addressed.
v. Acquire/record off -site temporary construction easement to perform grading on
TMP 07800-00-00-009CO or provide copy of written agreement to perform
grading across or at edge of this parcel. Proposed site contours are infeasible
without easement / Agreement from this TMP owner.
Approaches for this are being coordinated and will be further discussed with
the next submission.
FSP : persists.
Grading has been revised to illustrate how grades can comfortably tie in
without crossing the property line and as such off -site easements and/or
agreements are not required. See sheet C5.1. Further strict language has been
added to the plans to assure the contractor will not cross the property line
with installation of improvements.
