Re: Health and Wellness Suites of Carmel – TAC Review
Project No. 201300569
Dear Mr. Hoyes:
American Structurepoint, Inc., has revised the design, construction plans and drainage report for the
Health and Wellness Suites of Carmel project per the review comments listed in the June 6, 2013 letter.
Each comment listed from the review letter contains a response addressing each issue. Below are the
original comments with the response in italics.
1. The proposed project falls in the incorporated area and MS4 jurisdiction of the City of
Carmel
Noted
2. The proposed project DOES NOT fall in a City of Carmel Wellhead Protection Zone.
Noted
3. The proposed project falls in the W.R. Fertig Regulated Drain. This watershed has a
restricted release rate of 0.1 cfs per acres for the 10 year 24 hours storm even and 0.25
cfs per acre for the 100 year 25 hours storm event.
Drainage calculations reflected the W.R. Fertig restricted release rates. Calculations
can be found in the revised Drainage Report.
4. Please submit an outlet permit for the indirect discharge into the W.R. Fertig
Regulated Drain. The application is available at Surveyor’s Form Page.
Outlet permit is included with this submittal.

5. In the drainage calculations, the initially determined hydrologic soil groups were not
changed to the next less infiltrating capacity category for the post developed runoff
calculations, as specified in HCSTSM Section 302.03.
The less infiltrating capacity category was used in the revised Drainage Calculations.
Calculations can be found in the revised Drainage Report.
6. HCSO concurs with Crossroads comment #13 in regards to minimum orifice sizing,
exceeding the 10 year release rates, and providing the detention volume per the
calculations to meet both the required release rates. Please address accordingly.
The revised calculations reflect a 6 inch lower orifice (per Crossroad comment). The
release rates and detention volume calculations can be found in the revised Drainage
Report.
7. HCSO does not see evidence of a define conveyance between the proposed outlet
point and the W.R. Fertig Drain approximately 240 feet south. While there is a
drainage easement along this route, the property owner likely will need to be contacted
and improvement made to the conveyance between the points. Another outlet point
option would be to investigate following the current path of part of the existing site
runoff through Panattoni Buisness Park.
The proposed outlet point has been revised to 200 feet further south. This outlet point
will be within close vicinity of the 30 inch RCP pipe of the W.R. Fertig Regulated
Drain. The new outlet location can be found on the Grading Plan, sheet C.401 as well
as the Storm Sewer Plan and Profile, sheet C.409. This was discussed previously via
phone as an acceptable solution.
8. Please address all additional drainage review comments from Crossroad Engineers,
reviewer for the City of Carmel.
All review comments from Crossroad Engineers have been addressed and a response
letter has been sent to them with the revised plans.
9. Please submit revised construction plans/drainage calculations once all TAC
comments are addressed.
Revised plans and reports to be submitted.
