RE:Medical Drive Shoppes,154 Medical Drive-Project Review#1
Dear Mr.Jahn:
We have reviewed the construction drawings submitted for this project for the September 20,2006
Technical Advisory Committee meeting. We offer the following comments:
GENERAL INFORMATION
1. The project site is currently within current City of Cannel Corporate Limits.
2. Jurisdictions:
• Street and Right of Way—City of Carmel(Medical Drive)
• Water and Sanitary Sewer-City of Carmel Utilities.
• Storm Sewer/Drainage—City of Carmel. The Hamilton County Surveyor's Office has
jurisdiction over legal drains and discharge to legal drains.
3. Board of Public Works and Safety Approval Requirements:
• Water and Sanitary Sewer Availability approval:
- Water and Sanitary Sewer Availability Approval request to the Board is based upon
EDU requirements as determined by the proposed use of the building. Water and
Sanitary Sewer Connection Fees will be based upon EDU calculations.
- If entryway or other irrigation systems are planned,additional Water Availability
Approval from the Board will be required and additional Water Connection Fees will
be assessed based upon the size and usage of the system.
• Commercial Curb Cut-Please provide 8'h x 11 exhibits to accompany the request for
commercial curb cut approval. Include all pertinent data including radii,drive width at throat
and street,opposing drives etc. As you are modifying the existing cut,Board of Public Works
and Safety approval is required.
• Temporary Construction Entrance-Board approval is required if the temporary entrance is
located at a site other than the proposed curb cut. Please provide exhibits as detailed above,if
applicable.
• Open Pavement Cuts in dedicated streets. Any open pavement cut in the Medical Drive
pavement will require separate Board of Public Works and Safety approval. It appears the
construction of water and sanitary sewer service lines has the potential for open pavement
cuts. If it is possible to directional bore these services lines without open cutting the
pavement,that is what will be expected. If open cutting is unavoidable,prepare letter of
requests to the Board accompanied by detailed drawings of the open cut.
• Secondary Plat approval if applicable.
• Dedication of right of way if applicable.
• Consent to Encroach Agreements for any permanent improvement to be installed within
dedicated right of way and/or dedicated easements.

the additional sets(maximum total of two additional)must be submitted with the five required
sets.
5. Please be advised that any installation of signs,walls,irrigation systems,etc.within dedicated
right of way and/or dedicated easements will require a Consent to Encroach Agreement between
the Owner/Developer and the City of Carmel. This Agreement requires Board of Public Works
and Safety approval.
6. Please provide Carmel Utilities with all initial and subsequent drawings submitted for
review. They will provide a separate review regarding these issues. Please submit to:

necessary? Can structure 10 be connected to the detention system? Can structure 12 be moved
back onto the site and directed to the detention system?
42. It appears from the storm water summary on Sheet C9.0 that both the 10-year and 100-year peak
runoff exceeds the maximum allowable for the 3"orifice. Due to site constraints,is it not possible
to restrict the peak runoff further?
43. The connection to structure 24 must be performed by a contractor bonded with the City and is
•
subject to inspection by the City.

47. Please revise NOTE 20: "The contractor shall maintain at least one lane open to traffic at all times
with appropriate approval for such lane restrictions being obtained by the Board of Public Works
and Safety."
48. I know that we have discussed this,but please confirm that structure#29 is or is not in an existing
easement.
49. Sheet C4.0—Please indicate removal and replacement of the existing curb and any mainline
pavement as needed for the new entrance or to replace the curb at the existing eastern entrance if it
is damaged.
50. Please indicate replacement of the removed curbing and pavement on Sheet C6.0 and the

Thank you Nick:
I received the plans and could print them. There is a problem with the size and legibility of the graphic planting
details. The whole graphic, which was apparently lifted from elsewhere, is much too small. The contractors will
have to read from this graphic. Perhaps you could make the landscape notes smaller, but still legible, and then
make the whole details graphic larger. Otherwise the graphic should be submitted on a separate sheet.
Also, we need the monetary commitment for the 24 trees that will not be planted but are required. I can figure a

RE: Medical Drive Shopps
Dear Mr. Jahn:
The following letter represents comments from the Engineering Depaitnient for this project specifically
addressing the areas of storm water quality. We have reviewed the construction drawings submitted for
this project for the September 20, 2006 Technical Advisory Committee meeting and offer the following
comments:
BONDING REQUIREMENTS
1. The following bonding requirements apply to this project:
Performance Guarantees
An Erosion and Sediment Control Performance Guarantee is needed for this project.
STORMWATER QUALITY REVIEW COMMENTS-CONSTRUCTION PLANS
The following items of the storm water pollution prevention plan have not been satisfied:
B2. Sequence describing storm water quality measure implementation relative to land disturbing
activities
Include construction of the building.
All post construction BMPs should be cleaned at the end of construction.
B6. Sediment control measures for storm sewer inlet protection
The straw bales are not adequate for inlet protection. A catch basin insert would be more
appropriate along the existing street and in the inlets surrounded by pavement(in the parking lot).
A basket inlet protection product would be more appropriate around inlets in grassy areas. For all
other inlets, a mat fastened to the top of the grate will be acceptable.
B7. Runoff control measures
Rock check dams should be used instead of straw bale dams in the swale.
B10. Location,dimensions,specifications,and construction details of each stormwater quality
measure
Erosion control blankets are needed in the swales. Include the detail for an erosion control blanket.
Also include the installation of the erosion control blanket in the construction sequence(B2).
B14. Monitoring and maintenance guidelines for each proposed stormwater quality measure
Inlet protection should be cleaned after every rain event or at least once per week. •
C4. Location dimensions,specifications,and construction details of each stormwater quality
measure
Sizing calculations for the stormceptor are needed.
Need specifications for the swale plantings. Chapter 700 of the City of Carmel Stormwater
Technical Standards Manual contains information regarding water quality swale design
requirements. The north swale needs to meet the minimum 1%slope requirement for a water
quality swale.
C5. Description of maintenance guidelines for post construction storm water quality measures
An O&M manual specifying information regarding maintenance of both of the water quality BMPs
is needed. An owner acknowledgement agreement for the BMPs has been included and should be
completed and submitted with the O&M manual.
We request that all responses to our comments be provided in writing. Failure to provide written responses
may result in delay of the review process.
It is critical that this office be made aware of all modification made on the plans being re-submitted,
particularly if any such changes are considered"new"or fall outside of our previous reviews. Please
