Attached are the Rev 2 Construction Documents with the revisions indicated. 1. A right-of-way permit with a $5,000 license and permit bond is required for construction equipment access to the site from the public right-of-way. We will need to know where this will occur. JDH Contracting will provide when they resubmit the plans for permitting. 2. A pre-construction meeting is required prior to starting any work on-site. JDH Contracting will contact the City for the preconstruction meeting prior to construction. 3. An estimate of the value of the construction phase erosion and sediment control measures shall be provided for review. Upon approval of the estimate, a performance bond equal to the value of the estimate shall be provided to the City. JDH Contracting will provide. 2 4. Please indicate the construction limits on all sheets. Construction Limits have been added to the C-2 sheet. 5. If the perimeter of the overall pad is flat (all at the same elevation) and certain parts of the pad near the tower are to be elevated for drainage away from the tower,there will be an area of ponding water along the northern limits of the overall pad. A swale has been added to the north side of the site on C-2. 6. Please indicate the intent of the second Sheet C-5. Sheet numbering has been revised. 7. Please indicate the slope from the proposed access drive to the existing grade.There appears to be several feet of fall to the existing flow line. The top of the asphalt elevation has been added to the C-2&per detail 2/D-2. 8. Detail 3-D/2 shall be replaced with the City standard detail for such curb. 3—Dj2 detail has been replaced with City standard curb detail. 9. The City curbing policy shall be added to the plan set. City Curbing Policy added on D-3. 10. The Department assumes that a concrete washout will be needed. Please indicate the location and provide a detail of the area.The location must be interior to the perimeter erosion control measures. Concrete washout has been added to C-2&detail 3/C-S. 11. The permanent erosion stabilization measures shall be indicated. At a minimum, mulched seeding is required. Erosion control measures have been added to C-2. 12. In general,the erosion and sediment control measures need to be more clearly defined on the plans. Additional erosion and sediment measures have been identified on multiple sheets. 13. The City standard is for all slopes 6:1 and greater be stabilized with an erosion control blanket. Drainage Swale added on C-2, only area with slopes 6:1 or greater. 14. Scour protection is needed on each end of the proposed drive culvert. Scour protection added to C-2. 15. A check dam is required on the downstream end of the proposed culvert. Check Dam added to C-2. 16. The silt fence along the southern limits of construction shall extend across the entire limit of construction and may tie into each side of the check dam. The silt fence has been extended on C-2. 17. The western end of the silt fence along the southern limits of construction shall be extended and run perpendicular up the slope for a minimum distance of 8-feet (if that is the standard section of the silt fence being used). The silt fence has been extended on C-2. 18. The sides of the swale on the east side of the overall pad shall be stabilized with erosion control blankets. The sides of the slope are not greater than 6:1 slope. 19. The silt fence shall be wrapped to run parallel to the construction entrance a minimum of 16-feet (or two section of the silt fence being used) on each side of the entrance. The silt fence has been extended on C-2. 20. The City minimum cover does not appear to be provided over the proposed culvert.The Department is OK with this as this is a private culvert under a private drive. Ok as is. 21. The proposed culvert does not meet the minimum culvert size of 18-inches. Was the 12-inch culvert determined to be adequate for the watershed that will drain through this culvert. Culvert size has been revised to 18"on C-2& C-3. Please let me know if you have any further comments.

The items below are being reviewed by GPD and the Vz construction team. Please note we received this list last night at 5:35 and haven't had a chance to thoroughly review the challenges. Marilyn Kleist VERTEX Acquisition 4 February 20, 2014 RE: Proposed Verizon Wireless Communications Facility Site Name: Carmel Tech Park To Whom It May Concern: As a radio frequency engineer for Verizon Wireless, I am providing this letter to state the need for a Verizon Wireless site called Carmel Tech Park. The Carmel Tech Park site is proposed with the below objectives: 1. Offload 4G traffic from busy site to the Southwest. 2. Improve 4G Throughput to existing heavy data users. 3. Improve 4G network reliability by increasing the amount of time our customers operate on 4G instead of 3G. Currently the area is experiencing high demand for wireless high -speed data. Growth forecasts have triggered the need for an additional site in the area. The tower is needed to provide all Verizon customers in the area with the best experience on their 4G wireless devices. Raw Land — Design plans for a new tower would provide an antenna height of 95'. The new structure will be placed near the center of the area with high traffic demand and offload the surrounding sites greatly. The new tower design meets stated objectives. Verizon Wireless cares about the communities as well as the environment and prefers to collocate on existing structures when available. It can be noticed from the map that Verizon Wireless is currently collocated on existing structures in the area. We prefer collocation due to reduced construction costs, faster deployment, and environment protection. However,GVerizon Wireless was unable to find a suitable structure to collocate the proposed Carmel Tech Park site. Below is list of collocation opportunities we have pursued but failed to meet our requirements. Hampton Inn Rooftop — Site does not meet the design requirements including a height of 95'. The rooftop has a max available antenna height of 45'. The limited antenna height would not provide the needed offload to adjacent sites and would require additional sites in the vicinity in the near future. Meridian Mark I — The rooftop meets the height requirements with available antenna height of 120'. The offload objective as the location is too close in proximity to another Verizon site. This location would provide interference to the neighboring site and would end up exhausting its own capacity. Additional sites would be needed in the vicinity in the near future. Meridian Mark II —The rooftop meets the height requirements with available antenna height of 120'. The offload objective as the location is too close in proximity to another Verizon site. This location would provide interference to the neighboring site and would end up exhausting its own capacity. Additional sites would be needed in the vicinity in the near future. Verizon Wireless design engineers establish search area criteria in order to effectively meet coverage objectives as well as offload existing Verizon cell sites. When met, the criterion also reduces the need for a new site to cover the area in the immediate future. Each cellular site covers a limited area, depending on site configuration and the surrounding terrain. Cell sites are built in an interconnected network; which means each cell site must be located so that their respective coverage areas are contiguous. This provides uninterrupted communications throughout the coverage area. Since collocation is generally the most cost - effective means for prompt deployment of new facilities, Verizon Wireless makes every effort to investigate the feasibility for using existing towers or other tall structures for collocation when designing a new site or system expansion. However, collocation on an existing tower or tall structure is not always feasible due to location of existing cell sites. Cell sites are placed in a way so they provide smooth hand off to each other and are placed at some distance from each other to eliminate too much overlap. Too much overlap may result in a waste of resources and raise a system capacity overload concern. This cell site has been designed, and shall be constructed and operated in a manner that satisfies regulations and requirements of all applicable governmental agencies that have been charged with regulating tower specifications, operation, construction, and placement, including the FAA and FCC.

URBAN FORESTRY REVIEW COMMENTS Requirement: Landscaping. A fifteen foot (15') landscaped and maintained area, composed of trees not less than two and one half (2i') inches (caliper) in size (measured at forty (40) inches and spaced fifty (50) feet on center), and including a solid visual buffer or screen of at least five (5) feet in height, shall be provided on all sides of a tower, unless otherwise determined by the Commission (pursuant to ADLS review) or unless otherwise required by the Board for Special Use or Special Exception. o Please show the name and size of the species of trees to be installed on the site plan including a tree planting detail. I have attached a planting detail for you to use. ® I would request an evergreen species, namely 6' Norway spruce, be used for this project. It will provide year around screening and is less maintenance because of no leaf drop or seeds. o Please include a tree preservation detail on the site plan as well as where the tree preservation fencing will be installed around the trees to be saved. A separate landscape plan may be prudent. It is important that this office be made aware of modifications made on the plans being re- submitted, particularly if any such changes are considered new or fall outside of our previous reviews.
