Mr. John Thomas
City of Carmel Engineering Department
RE: BJ’s Wholesale Club at Greyhound Commons – Drainage Waiver Requests
Members of the Board,
On behalf of our Client, we respectfully request waiver from the following Drainage Standards.
1. §104.02 – Finished floor elevation or the lowest building entry elevation shall be no less than
6 inches above finished grade around the building. Also, the building’s lowest entry elevation
that is adjacent to and facing a road shall be a minimum of 12 inches above the road
elevation.
We are requesting that the minimum finished floor elevation shall be permitted as lower
than the road elevation due to existing elevation of Lowe’s Way.
2. §303.06.11 – Detention basins shall be designed with additional ten (10) percent of available
capacity to allow for sediment accumulations resulting from development and to permit the
pond to function for reasonable periods between cleanings.
We are requesting a waiver for the above referenced requirement as the provided
hydrodynamic separators and detention treatment rows will reduce sediment accumulation
within detention chambers.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me at (317) 218-9560 or
connor.strege@kimley-horn.com.
Sincerely,
Connor Strege, P.E.
Project Engineer
