Chris,
I have completed my review of the above referenced initial site plan and have the following comments:
• ACSA Water and Sewer construction plan review will be required at the final site plan stage. Submit 3 copies of
the plan along with water/sewer data sheets to the ACSA, Attn: Michael Vieira, PE, to begin the review.
• Add a profile of the existing sewer showing existing and proposed cover.
• Show a water meter for the club house.
• Show large service taps for the apartment buildings.
• Label existing water and sewer by size and material.
• Add water profiles.
• Add water easements.
• Adjust existing easement on the sewer near Mountain Wood Road so it is centered on the as -built location.
Let me know if you have any questions.
