Dear Mr. Barnes
We have reviewed the coo5truction plans submitted to the Hamilton County Surveyor's
Office on September 15, 2005 for this project and have the following comments:
1. This proposed project falls w.ithjn the incorporated area. ofthe City of CarmeL
2. This proposoo project DOES NOT fall within a Carmel Wellhead protection
Zone.
3. This project will be; a Hamilton County Regulated Drain Subdivision.
4. Please submit the following p'OOcedural items, petition for regulated subdivision.
engineer's e5tirnate, and all associated bonds for 120% ofcoostruction cost. The
applications are available on our website at http://www.co.hamilton.in.us. go to
Departments, Surveyor, and Forms.
5. The HCSO wiU only approve plans for wbat is being bonded and constructed
at this time. If this is being divided into 2 phases, then the plans should only
show what is being constructed with plb.ase 1.
6. Th.e HCSO requires the BFE to be labeled on the construction plans. Also. the
floodway and floodplain delineation does notseem to follow the existing contour
lines. Tbe delineation should use the existing contour lines with be BFE
determined by the study. Please show and revise.

7. The HeSO has concerns that based offtbe current delineation, homes are being
constructed in floodplain area and a large amount of the lot is within the
floodway.
8. All floodplain (and floodway) areas detennined. by the study will be required to
be place in a Drainage Easement, to prevent tilling and encroachments in the
future.
9. HamHton County Ordinance 4-26.99-C(3) will require improvements to the
natural watercourse across the site and possibly downstream. These
improvements will included, but not limited to, debris and flowline obstroction
removal, tree clearing from top ofbank to top of bank, and stream bank erosion
repair and stabilization.
10. Please begin the process of contacting the; downstream property owners, in
accordance with Ordinance No. 4-26-99-C(5), of the outlet until the point where it
reaches Little Eagle Creek. Bear Creek crosses 4 different parcels with 4 different
property owners in Hamilton County. Th1S is to determine if the downstream
owners wants the existing open ditch or watenvay to become regulated~ and to
notify them of their rights to appeal any approval of the design. Have Dot seen
any follow up on this eommelDL
11. The HCSO does not allow multiple pipes. especially ill an open ditch situation.
This design becomes a place for debris to catch and is a maintenance problem.
Please design the Overbrook Drive crossing over Bear Creek as a free span
structure. for example a ConSpan bridge.
12. please label all adjacent property owners on the development plan.
13. The SSD lateral for lot 98 appears to be missing. Also, SSD laterals for lot 1 and
2 are required. Tbe HCSO would suggest these come out of structures 759 and
757 A, respectively. This will provide a better positive outlet then using the SSD
under the stone shoulder.
14. All Drainage Easements (D.E.) that have: regulated draln pipe need. to have a 15'
easement on each side of the pipe. The easement location needs to be relative to
the centerline of the pipe. S~veral instances are shown in the construction plans
that the easement ends only a few feet from tbe pipe.
IS. The HCSO p:refel's not to use end sections as inlets for swales. Can changes be
made that would allow structures 762 and 775 to becomes beehive inlets. It
appears that grade to accomplish this is being given up to avoid conflicts. but can
it be worked out a different way?
16. The selected HCSO Pond Standard (0-7) requires a 15' easement around the pond
from the TOB. This is not shown on pond fn. and pond #1.
~, 09A28/2005 13:29
3177759528
HAMILTON CO SURVEYOR

u
17. Hamilton Gounty Ordinance 4-26-99-C(2)b requires the outlets to be extended all
the way to the open ohannel. This is not a floodway underIDNR jurisdiction, so
construction in the floodway is not an issue.
18. The HCSO Standards aDd the City of Carmel now require all SSD to be
consttucted with double..wall, smooth bore perforated (lIDPE) pipe. Please note
this change in the construction plans.
19. Do to the design of the cul-de-sac (Ardmore Circle) that drain back to structures
that create a very long SSD run, HCSO is requiring an access point to the SSD. At
the high point of the curb and SSD. place a 2' x 2' concrete box wi1h a roll curb
casting. This inlet win not have an outlet (other then the SSD) but will also not
take water since it is at the HP of the curb line, but will allow better access to the
SSD.
20. The HCSO will start requiring 2' sumps in the last structure before the pond, for
stonn water quality. The second part of this requirement is that the structure be
no more then IS' from the baclc of cum to the cent of the casting. So. if the last
structure does not met that criteria, then the $mnp must be moved to the 6l;'St
structure that does. If this structure is a curb inlet with a box structure, then the
structure needs to be changed to a minimum of a 48" manhole. v.ith tbe 2' sump.
The suggested structure that will require sumps in this development are: 738,742,
748,733,781, 721, 708, and 106, although some of these are beyond the 15'
requirement so the structure need moved or the sumps need moved.
2J. Please include HCSO Standard Details in the construction plans: 0-4, SSD-l,
SSD.2, C.6, M-5, CT-l, CT-4. CT-5, CT.7. CT.8 and CT-9.
22. Please provide a copy of the landscape plan (or review by this office.
23. Please addr~ all oomments from Crossroad Engineering and copy our office
with responses to their conunents.
24. Please note that further comments may be necessary at a later date.
Should you bave any questions, I can be reached at 317.776-8495.

Right of Way Permit and Bonding
Any work in the dedicated right of way of 14151 Street will require a Right of Way Pennit. If the
work is included in the scope of work of a posted Performance Guarantee, no additional bonding
will be required. lfit is not included, a License & Permit type Right of Way bond will be required
in the amount of $2,000.00 per instance of work in the right of way. Any open cut in the
pavement of 14151 Street. will require separate Board of Public Works and Safety approval.
Any work in the right of way of 146th Street is under the jurisdiction of the Hamilton County
Highway Department.
10. We have engaged Crossroad Engineers, PC to review all drainage plans and drainage calculations
submitted to this office for review. We will share Crossroad's comments as they are received.
When construction plans are submitted for review for this development, please provide 2-sets of
plans and calculations to allow us to send the extra set to Crossroad to save some time in the
reVIew process.
AVAILABILITY AND CONNECTION FEES
This section is repeated from Review #1.
11. Availability (acreage) Fees must be paid after all other Engineering Department requirements
have been satisfied and prior to the start of construction activities. Availability Fees are based
upon total platted acreage for the development at the current rate of $1,010.00 per acre (Water
Availability Fee). Based upon the construction plans legal description indicated acreage, the
following Water Availability Fees would apply:
84.26 Acres @ $1 ,OlO.OO/Acre = $85,103.00
Connection Fees are currently $1,310.00 for water per single-family residence. Connection Fees
are paid when the infrastructure has been complete, satisfactory test results obtained and the
subdivision has been released for permits. Water Connection Fees are paid on a per-lot basis.
. If an irrigation system, swimming pool or clubhouse is planned for this, or any future
section oj the development, additional Water Connection Fees will be assessed based
upon the recommendation of the. Director of Carmel Utilities.
The Department of Engineering had previously reviewed the plat for this development with the name Bear
Creek Meadows and provided written comments dated March 9,2005. The Department again reviewed the
plat for this development with the current name, Overbrook Fanns, and provided written comments dated
April 13, 2005. To the best of my knowledge, the Department has not received written responses to either
of the primary plat reviews and.many of the comments have not bee.n incorporated into the construction
plans submitted for the July 20, 2005 T AC meeting. For these reasons, the primary plat comments are
repeated in this review.
12. Please provide monuments at external corners.
13. What is the distance from the proposed 14Is1 Street entrance to the nearest existing 141st Street
intersection?
14. What is the distance from the proposed 146th Street entrance to the nearest existing 146th Street
intersection?
15. Where does the street to the east that stubs aUot 10 eventually connect to?
16. Can the dual, angled pipe connections to the sole stonn inlet at the maj ority of the intersections be
cons tructed?
17. Has permission been granted to build in the Buckeye Pipeline and Marathon Pipeline easements?

18. Please indicate a 1 O-inch back of curb dimension on rolled curb detail. This detail is being
updated.
19. Please contact Crossroad Engineers to obtain drainage review checklist for consideration in
developing secondary plat and that design effort.
20. Please provide detention volume for the fully developed thoroughfare plan right-of-way for the
141 st Street frontage. This requirement shall apply regardless of watershed limits. Please provide
adequately sized pipes to carry water from the street to the proposed ponds.
21. Thank you for developing Typical Section-Local Street section that incorporates aU of the City
standard dimensions. This is a great detaiL
22. Thank you for aligning the sanitary sewer such that it is not located under the cul-de-sac
pavement.
23. Our 20 Year Thoroughfa~e Plan designates 14151 Street as a collector street. Therefore, the lengths
of the acceleration and deceleration lanes required at this entrance are the following: 100 feet for
the acceleration taper, 100 feet for the deceleration taper, and 100 feet for the deceleration lane full
\Vidth.
24. Please label the lO-foot multi-use path along 14151 Street and l46th Street.
25. If the 141 'I Street entrance is not aligned with an adjacent entrance that will be constructed soon, a
passing blister designed to Department of Engineering standards will be required on the south side
of 141 'I Street.
26. The City will defer to the Hamilton County Highway Department for any comments they have
related to the proposed 146lh Street entrance configuration, need for auxiliary lanes, pavement
section in the right-of-way, and offset distance to the nearest intersection.
27. Please indicate widening across the property frontage or to the extents of the auxiliary lanes,
whichever is greater for 15~foot travel lanes on the property side of 141st Street. Auxiliary lanes
shall be measured from the edge of the 15-foot travel lane. .Please add a note to the site plan that
all existing pavement shall be sawcut to a clean edge where new pavement (for widening or for
auxiliary lanes) is to be installed adjacent to existing pavement. Any new pavement placed in the
14lst Street right-of-way for widening, for auxiliary lanes and for each entrance up to the mainline
right-of-way limit shall meet the following section: 1.5 inches HMA#ll surface on 2 inches
HMA #8 binder on 3 inches HMA #5D base on 7 inches #53 stone on 4 inches #2 stone or match
existing, whichever is greater. Please delineate this section with hatching on the plans and
appropriate reference in the legend.
28. The City typically requires }" milling with 1.5" HAC. #11 resmfacing for the entire width of the
existing roadway across the property frontage or to the limits of the auxiliary lanes, whichever is
greater. The roadway would then also need to be restriped with thermoplastic striping. Please
develop a plan for the restriping and for striping of the auxiliary lanes. Please .add a note to this
plan that all striping shall be thermoplastic. Please delineate the milling and resurfacing areas \'lith
hatching on the plans and appropriate reference in the legend.

sanitary and water mains and laterals within the right-of-way into the design for the secondary
plat.
32. Will Bear Creek be realigned or rerouted as a part of this development? We would expect to see a
plan with capacity calculations as a part of the secondary plat submittal.
33. All lots adjacent to side yard easements should be wide enough to accommodate the anticipated
house model and any planned driveways such that there is no encroachment in the easements.
34. Thank you for realigning the 14151 Street entrance such that the auxiliary lanes remain on site.
Based upon additional review, the Department provides additional comments:

35. Lots land 2 appear to be served by a single existing driveway. If in the future lots 1 and 2 are
owned by two separate entities, access to 14l;t Street ",ill continue to be provided by a single
shared driveway.
36. Any off-site easements necessary for installation of utilities must be secured prior to the
Department of Engineering approving the drawings.
37. ADA ramps are required at ali locations where the sidewalks or asphalt paths cross the streets.
38. Please label the curb return radii at each interior street intersection.
39. The pavement width of Wendell Way and Arumore Circle must be a minimum of26 feet.
40. Please show water mains, sanitary and storm sewer on aU profiles including street profiles.
41. Several of the details including the subsurface drain detail, curb details, and sidewalk detail are too
small to be easily read. Please l?nlarge !iny details to which this applies. -
