One of three copies has the revisions we have made circled in red. The following list is in response to your letter of December 2, 1987, and addresses each comment in the same order as your comment letter. 1. Easements for storm sewers have been revised to 20' total width. 2. Drainage arrows have been added along all side and rear lot lines (not all have been circled in red). Also, the streets have had the high points (H.P. ) labeled. 3. Pipe length and size have been noted for each run of pipe. General Note #1 addresses the material to be used for storm sewer pipe. 4. End sections and rip-rap have been added to plats. 5. The drainage on Steeplechase Lane drains to the inlets at the northwest and southwest corners of the intersection of Steeplechase Lane and Gwin Drive. Drainage arrows have been added to the plat. 6. Travel distances have been changed to be less than 500 feet. Water flowing in the east gutter of Gwin Drive in front of lots 104 and 105 will flow to the inlet in front of lot 101. The distance is +460' and the inlet and storm sewer in front of lot 101 have been sized to handle the stormwater runoff. 7. Drainage arrows have been added to plat. 8. Underdrains will tie into the inlet or manholes. No underdrains will be tied directly to any of the storm pipe. Mid States Engineering, Inc. • Indianapolis, IN • Austin, TX • Tampa, FL Mr. Jerry Liston Page Two December 10, 1987 9. Due to the limited quantity of stormwater and also the insufficient cover, I do not believe that inlets would perform any better than curb turnouts and extending the existing pipes beneath 99th Street to the north and putting an end section on each of these pipes. If you have any questions or comments, please contact me as soon as possible.

The "Cul-de-loops” or half circle areas such as Kovey Court do not meet the street width ordinance. With the number of homes located on each one, I feel they should conform to the 26 foot minimum due to parking and etc. 2. With the number of homes on each of these "loops" , I would recommend that they be built to street specifications rather than be constructed as private drives. 3. In reviewing the plans, I feel that there may be some confusion on where a street starts and ends. Example: Where does Estep Drive and Fahey Drive start on the east side of the complex? 4. With the way the streets are laid out, how will this complex be addressed? Respectfully submitted, LS Steven A.

R ?_I' .11 Y;'J 3 RE: Walden Pond Primary Plat This report is in reference to the conceptual off—site drainage plan for Walden Pond . The proposed drainage plan consists of lowering the peak flow by detaining the water and outletting a 30" storm sewer at the west property line of Holiday Hills and Dales subdivision. There is no drainage easement across Holiday Hills and Dales and none across the adjoining property to the east . Increasing the water flow capacity under the county roads is theonly significant off—site drainage improvement being considered . This office believes a comprehensive drainage plan is needed for both the on site , which is very well done , and the off—site . Unlike other communities , Carmel— Clay has been developed with good connecting drainage facilities . On other developments considerable off—site work has been done by a host of developers to correct prior problems and to make sure they would discharge their storm drainage to an adequate outlet. Why spend additional community funds in the future to correct urban drainage problems like the city of Indianapolis must do . As a result of the Drainage Board Hearing nearly a year ago and the subsequent dismissal of the petition , the residents concluded that drainage is not a problem for Holiday Hills and Dales Subdivision . This professional office disagrees . Homeowners in the subdivision have requested our assistance to solve their drainage problems . Other government agencies have also received calls . Holiday Hills and Dales subdivision drainage plan relies solely on surface drainage . The majority of the drainage complaints from Clay Township are about surface drainage problems . Water stands on the property — excess water comes from the neighbors house — the rear yard swale is not graded correctly — the detention area fills up with water — the storm sewer outlets on my property . These are all fairly common drainage problems . Many of these complaints would not exist if the soils were different. However we must engineer a solution and the typical method for solving these problems is to direct the surface water to a storm sewer and discharge the water safely into an open ditch. In addition to the existing drainage deficiencies in Holiday Hills and Dales , the homeowners should expect an increase in the amount of water and more frequent flows of water due to the increase of impervious surfaces . Ground water from subsurface drain tiles and sump—pumps will also be discharged at the east property line of Walden Pond . The prolonged trickle of ground water from adjacent properties has not previously been a problem for Holiday Hills and Dales . Future maintenance of this drainage way is going to be impossible without an easement . O The Soil Conservation Service is an agency of the Department of Agriculture The subdivision committee has several options . The primary plat could be approved by the committee . By approving this plat it will be increasingly easier for developers to argue against doing off—site drainage improvements for their own and adjacent properties benefit. In twenty years will a person ask , why was this plat approved without so much as a drainage easement for the storm water discharge? A second option is to recommend the plat not be approved for lack of a good drainage outlet. This office would recommend a third option , tabling the plat for a month . The petitioner could review the feasibility of alternative routes or propose improvements that would adequately handle all or a percentage of the flow to Carmel Creek . To date the developer has not really considered any other alternatives . The crux of the matter is being able to go around Holiday Hills and Dales or working with them. This office firmly believes there are other ways to solve the dilemma. This office would assist the developer toward solving the problems . Sincerely , /la 'W. John B. South Thomas L.
