Pre-Development Conditions
The project site is situated on ±1.42 acres located at 270 W Smoky Row Road. See Exhibit 1
for the Location and Vicinity Map. The site currently consists of grass lawn area with some
gardening area at the northwest corner of the site. Most of the project site lies within
areas determined to be within the floodway and/or floodplains per Community Panel
#18057C0207G of the Flood Insurance Rate Map dated November 19, 2014. See included
FEMA Flood Map included in this report. The existing soils are Soil Group D, with an overall
curve number of 80. The existing site drainage sheet flows northeasterly toward an
existing swale that runs along the north property boundary.
Post-Development Conditions
This project includes the construction of a greenhouse and headhouse building for
gardening and small-scale urban farming. The rest of the site will consist of grass area and
planting beds with the exception of 14 parking spaces that will be pervious NDS Grass
Pavers. Access to the project will be from the existing driveway that was recently
reconstructed with the Smoky Row Road improvements. The proposed stormwater runoff
will continue to infiltrate naturally and/or continue to sheet flow northeasterly to the
existing swale. No storm sewer is proposed, and drainage is to follow existing drainage
patterns. The only impervious area on site will be the ±1,600 sft roof area, and roof
drainage will splash on grade. Due to the minimal impervious area added, the overall
curve number for the site remains unchanged at 80, so no additional stormwater
detention will be necessary to meet the City release rate requirements. Stormwater quality
will be achieved via the pervious pavement BMP for parking, as well as the site serving
almost entirely plant growth and vegetation.
Floodplain Mitigation
Much of the site is included in area that is delineated as both floodway and floodplain.
Both of the proposed structures will be constructed outside of floodway areas. To meet
the minimum 2’ freeboard above the Base Flood Elevation 813.00 for all permanent
structures within Zone AE, some filling of the floodplain will be necessary. This fill will be
mitigated onsite, with cut areas on the north portion of the site. The cut area will be
graded such that drainage will continue to sheet flow northeasterly following existing
drainage patterns. The earthwork balance is included with this report showing the total
cut volume provided exceeds the total volume filled above the BFE of 813.00.

Warning: Soil Map may not be valid at this scale.
Enlargement of maps beyond the scale of mapping can cause
misunderstanding of the detail of mapping and accuracy of soil
line placement. The maps do not show the small areas of
contrasting soils that could have been shown at a more detailed
scale.
Please rely on the bar scale on each map sheet for map
measurements.

Maps from the Web Soil Survey are based on the Web Mercator
projection, which preserves direction and shape but distorts
distance and area. A projection that preserves area, such as the
Albers equal-area conic projection, should be used if more
accurate calculations of distance or area are required.

The orthophoto or other base map on which the soil lines were
compiled and digitized probably differs from the background

shifting of map unit boundaries may be evident.

Description
Hydrologic soil groups are based on estimates of runoff potential. Soils are
assigned to one of four groups according to the rate of water infiltration when the
soils are not protected by vegetation, are thoroughly wet, and receive
precipitation from long-duration storms.
The soils in the United States are assigned to four groups (A, B, C, and D) and
three dual classes (A/D, B/D, and C/D). The groups are defined as follows:
Group A. Soils having a high infiltration rate (low runoff potential) when
thoroughly wet. These consist mainly of deep, well drained to excessively
drained sands or gravelly sands. These soils have a high rate of water
transmission.
Group B. Soils having a moderate infiltration rate when thoroughly wet. These
consist chiefly of moderately deep or deep, moderately well drained or well
drained soils that have moderately fine texture to moderately coarse texture.
These soils have a moderate rate of water transmission.
Group C. Soils having a slow infiltration rate when thoroughly wet. These consist
chiefly of soils having a layer that impedes the downward movement of water or
soils of moderately fine texture or fine texture. These soils have a slow rate of
water transmission.
Group D. Soils having a very slow infiltration rate (high runoff potential) when
thoroughly wet. These consist chiefly of clays that have a high shrink-swell
potential, soils that have a high water table, soils that have a claypan or clay
layer at or near the surface, and soils that are shallow over nearly impervious
material. These soils have a very slow rate of water transmission.
If a soil is assigned to a dual hydrologic group (A/D, B/D, or C/D), the first letter is
for drained areas and the second is for undrained areas. Only the soils that in
their natural condition are in group D are assigned to dual classes.
