RE: Variance Request - BPW
Tom Woof JLRV Service Addition
4620 East 96th Street
Dear Mr. Jordan:
Please consider this letter as our formal request to present to the Board of Public Works
at their next available meeting our variance request from the City of Carmel design
standards for our project, the Tom Wood Jaguar Land Rover Volvo Service Addition.
Specifically, we are requesting a waiver from the following design standard:
Section 501.01 – minimum cover over a storm pipe being 2.5 feet.
Due to site constraints, including a FEMA floodplain elevation, our proposed storm
sewer system will have less than 2.5 feet of cover in some areas. Our on-site storm
sewer system will remain private. In addition, we are proposing a higher class of
reinforced concrete pipe (RCP) to be used in the areas that do not have at least 2.5
feet of cover.
Please consider our variance request, and let me know if you have any questions or
need any additional information.
Sincerely,
ROGER WARD ENGINEERING, INC.

RE: Variance Request - BPW

4620 East 96th Street
Dear Mr. Jordan:
Please consider this letter as our formal request to present to the Board of Public Works
at their next available meeting our variance request from the City of Carmel design
standards for our project, the Tom Wood Jaguar Land Rover Volvo Service Addition.
Specifically, we are requesting a waiver from the following design standard:
Section 303.07 – overflow design with pipes plugged and freeboard requirement.
The only proposed inlet for the service addition is a long trench drain to capture
runoff from the disturbed area and direct it to the underground detention system,
along with the drainage from the roof of the building addition. The resulting elevation
of the emergency overflow at the trench drain with pipes plugged will be
approximately 4.5” below the finish floor of the building. And the overflow path will
be approximately 60 feet away from the proposed building addition.
Please consider our variance request, and let me know if you have any questions or
need any additional information.
Sincerely,
