DOCS Staff s outstanding review comments:

2. Hamilton County Surveyor's Office: they will schedule a meeting with Carmel Engineering to further
address some drainage issues, but nothing that should have a major impact on the site design.
3. The Dept of Engineering has no major issues with this project, and is comfortable with it moving forward.
4. The City Forester states that the landscape plan is acceptable.
5. Provide a copy of any comnutments or covenants.

carts are shown on the proposed site plan as `future' or `reserved' if there is ever enough demand to
implement them.
