From: John P. Diez, Engineering Review
Division: Current Development
Date: September 10, 2010
Rev. 1 October 12, 2010
Subject: SDP20100067 Pantops Fire Station - Preliminary Site Plan
The preliminary site plan for Pantops Fire Station, submitted on October 4, 2010, has been reviewed.
Current Development Engineering has approved the plans with the following conditions:
Preliminary Site Plan Comments
1. Please provide source and date of topography and survey. [18- 32.5.6a]
(Rev. 1) Comment has been addressed.
2. Please provide a Simple Methods spreadsheet to illustrate removal rate requirements for the
proposed site.
(Rev. 1) Comment has not been addressed. Please provide the pre- and post- development
drainage area for the proposed site.
It appears that the area for the proposed SWM pond will suffice for water quantity. However,
engineering is concerned about having anything but dirt and vegetation in this area due to having
public drainage facility beneath the pond. Engineering recommends one or two biofilters to
capture and treat the runoff for water quality and then to be discharged into the pond for water
quantity.
(Rev. 1) Comment has been addressed. Complete details and calculations will be required
during Final Site Plan review.
4. Please provide a demolition plan showing the removal of the existing one -story framed building.
(Rev. 1) Comment has been addressed.
5. All disturbance of critical slope require a critical slopes waiver. Please submit a request for a
critical slopes waiver for review. [18- 4.2.5b]
(Rev. 1) Waiver request has been submitted and is being reviewed.

2. A Water Protection Ordinance application and fee must be submitted, along with an Erosion and
Sediment Control and Stormwater Management plan.
