One Civic Square, 1st Floor Carmel, IN 46032 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. Roger C. Ward, Jr. PE, LEED AP President S:\jobs\TWI\011\submittals\Carmel BPW\Tom Wood BPW Variance Request 08-05-22.doc 6555 Carrollton Avenue  Indianapolis, IN 46220  317-251-1738  317-251-1923 Page 1 of 1 September 21, 2022 Mr. Alex Jordan Carmel Engineering Dept. One Civic Square, 1st Floor Carmel, IN 46032 RE: Variance Request - BPW Tom Wood 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 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, ROGER WARD ENGINEERING, INC. Roger C.
