I have reviewed SDP201500057 and have the following comments-
Initial Site Plan
Include the attached ACSA Water and Sewer General Conditions-
Send water fixture counts to the ACSA for meter sizing when available. The space is currently
served by a 1" water only meter. If a meter upgrade is required, a new tap off of DobleAnn Drive will be
required.. The existing service is tapped off of an RWSA main on the southern side of Airport Road.
• The ACSA has scheduled a field visit to confirm that a force main connection can be made in one
of the existing manholes along the frontage of 3570 DobleAnn Drive
• Provide anticipated daily sewer flows and advise what type of use is proposed in the 3,500 SF
warehouse space (to determine if an industrial discharge permit is required )_
• Sewer connection fees will be required at the time of the building permit application..
I will have an answer on the forcemain connection today- I have the field visit scheduled for this afternoon

Re: SDP -2015 -00057 General Industrial Office — initial Site Plan
Dear Mr. Perez:
We have reviewed the General Industrial Office initial site plan, dated October 26, 2015, as submitted by
Meridian Planning Group, LLC, and we offer the following comments:
1. The subject site is located off Route 882, Coffey Drive rather than Route 1501, Deerwood Drive.
Labeling should be updated accordingly.
2. The right-of-way along Airport Road and Coffey Drive should be clearly identified in the plans.
3. The existing entrance on Coffey drive does not meet our minimum corner clearance of 225'.
4. The anticipated average daily trips should be provided.
5. A plan and profile should be provided to ensure there is adequate intersection sight
distance.
6. The proposed sanitary force main should be jacked and bored under Coffey Drive. The
contractor will be held liable repair the damages made within the right-of-way. Also, the
force main should have a minimum vertical offset of 10' from the storm sewer.
If you need further information concerning this project please do not hesitate to contact me at
(434) 422 -9894.
