General
1) Reminder: Place original PE stamp and signature on first sheet.

and Sewer Authority. RWSA will also need to review and approve this
plan.
Sheet 4
1) The three meter boxes, near the Berkmar entrance, contain a water meter,
a PRV and a blow -off. The PRV could be removed (the line is now on low
pressure). The blow -off should remain.

meter and other appurtenances. Provide profile of this area (including
ACSA water main), for review.
3) Utility Note 1, include RWSA.
4) Provide fixture count, for Phase II, to properly size water service. If meter
size will change, it will be easier to accomplish during Phase 1
construction.
5) Sanitary sewer manhole, at SW corner, may need to be raised with new
finished grade.
6) Private sanitary sewer will need to be physically disconnected from ACSA
manhole and ACSA manhole penetration will need to be sealed -off. ACSA
recommends abandoning private sewer lines with flowable fill.
Sheet 8
1) Remove trees from ACSA sanitary sewer easement, as indicated on
plans.

constructed as a moderate volume commercial entrance. The proposed entrance will need
to be constructed to commercial entrance standards as defined in Appendix F of the Road
Design Manual Most notably, the minimum width of the proposed entrance should be
30'.
2. The centerline of the proposed entrance should be aligned perpendicularly to Berkmar
Drive.
3. Sight line profiles need to be provided for the sight lines of the proposed entrance,
4. The storage length of the right turn lane should be measured to the entrance PC instead of
the location shown on the site plan.
5. The pavement structure of the right turn lane and the new entrance should match the
pavement structure of Berkmar Drive.
6. The proposed right turn lane is to be constructed in accordance with the Standard WP -2
in the 2008 Road and Bridge Standards.
