Subject: RE: City of Carmel Docket 14010002 SU Verizon Wireless Cell Tower, City Center&
Pennsylvania
All I am not certain to whom this email should be sent. So I replied to all. Please find the following comments regarding
this site that need to be addressed prior to the Department of Engineering supporting the release of the ILP.
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.
2. A pre-construction meeting is required prior to starting any work on-site.
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.
4. Please indicate the construction limits on all sheets.
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.
6. Piease indicate the intent of the second Sheet C-5.
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 flowline.
8. Detail 3-D/2 shall be replaced with the City standard detail for such curb.
9. The City curbing policy shall be added to the plan set.
10. The Department assumes that a concrete washout will be needed. Please indicate the location and provide a
detail of the area. The loeation must be interior to the perimeter erosion control measures.
11. The permanent erosion stabilization measures shall be indicated.At a minimum, mulched seeding is required.
12. In generel, the erosion and sediment control measures need to be more clearly defined on the plans.
13. The City standard is for all slopes 6:1 and greater be stabilized with an erosion control 6lanket.
14. Scour protection is needed on each end of the proposed drive culvert.
15. A check dam is required on the downstream end of the proposed culvert.
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.
17. The western end of the siit fence along the southern limits of construction sha�l 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).
18. The sides of the swale on the east side of the overall pad shall be stabilized with erosion control blankets.
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.
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.
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?
Thanks so much,
Gary
