We offer the following comments: CONSTRUCTION DRAWING REVIEW COMMENTS I . Section 2.09 of Chapter 2, Article 1 of Chapter 10 of the Carmel City Code requires that all projects and Improvements or authorizations under the jurisdiction of the zoning ordinance that adjoin, include, are served by or affect existing streets bearing a designation on the Thoroughfare Plan shall conform to the requirements of the Thoroughfare Plan in regards to (1) the dedication of public Rights -of -way; (2) design and construction of the improvements indicated by the Thoroughfare Plan across the roadway frontage of the project; (3) Setback; and (4) any other affected development standards. Section 2.09 further states that the petitioner may elect to provide a monetary commitment equal to the value to otherwise design and construct the improvements indicated by the Thoroughfare Plan across the roadway frontage. The value of the commitment shall be equal to the difference in the value to otherwise design and construct the improvements indicated by the Thoroughfare Plan across the roadway frontage, minus the cost to design and construct those improvements indicated by the Thoroughfare Plan across the roadway frontage that will be installed by the petitioner. The values established above shall be approved by the department of Engineering. Section 2.09 further states that conformance with the Thoroughfare Plan as outlined above shall be in addition to any improvements deemed necessary by: (1) Chapter 5, Sections 5.03.05 and 5.05.02(3); (2) Statements per Chapter 24, Section 24.02(B)(5)(e); and (3) Other applicable standards. Our office will contact you to discuss this comment further. 2. Comment 4 ofa letter dated March 1, 2013. Please clearly indicate the construction limits on site. The construction limits should be added to all construction sheets. 3. Comment 6 ofa letter dated March 1, 2013. Please ensure all proposed easements are indicated on the plans. Please provide a BMP access easement from the right -of -way to the water quality BMPs. 4. Comment 8 ofa letter dated March 1, 2013. All pavement markings within the right -of -way shall be thermoplastic. It is acceptable for the stop bars located within the City right -of- way to not meet City standards. However, the stop signs within the right -of -way shall meet City standards and are required to be installed by the Street Department. Please add a note to the drawings stating that the Street Department installs all sign within the right -of -way. 5. Comment 10 ofa letter dated March 1, 2013. If the south entrance will be reconstructed, it needs to be constructed as a right -out only drive with a 30 foot curb return radius on the south side. The north curb radius needs to be 44 -foot, curving to the south, with a small filet at the nose. 6. Comment 11 ofa letter dated March 1, 2013. Board of Public Works and Safety approval is required for the two curb cuts. The Department repeats this comment.

March 25, 2013 RE: St. Mary and St. Mark Coptic Church - Project Review #2 Page 2 of 3 7. Comment 15 of a letter dated March 1, 2013. The detention pond shall be sized to accommodate the fully developed right -of -way of Shelborne Road. The pond is required per the standards to be built to accommodate the fully developed right -of -way, providing the City the opportunity to utilize this detention in the future if needed. In addition, a storm sewer stub to the right -of -way needs to be provided off of structure #6. 8. Comment 16 of a letter dated March 1, 2013. The northeast comer of the site cannot direct discharge to the right -of -way without being treated and detained. A variance is required for any direct stormwater discharges. At a minimum, the driveway runoff needs to be detained on -site. However, the Department will support a variance for the grassed areas to direct discharge to the right -of -way with no detention. 9. Comment 17 of a letter dated March 1, 2013. Please label any offsite easements. Is an offsite easement required for the storm sewer outlet in Kendall Wood Subdivision? Does the storm sewer cross through a Tree Preservation Easement in Kendall Wood? Per City Code, no improvements are allowed within a Tree Preservation Easement. Since Kendall Wood has not been platted yet, it would be best to contact Kendall Wood's engineer and have him accommodate a break in the TPE on their site and provide a 30 -foot drainage easement for the Church's storm sewer connection. Please also contact Daren Mindham for his approval of any changes to Kendall Wood's TPE. 10. Comment 18 of a letter dated March 1, 2013. Please provide the MFPG and MLAG for the building. The MFPG and MLAG should be the same elevation. This elevation should be set 2 feet above the 100 -year elevation of the pond, 1 foot above the maximum water surface elevation onsite during the 100 -year storm with all inlets plugged, and I5 inches above the adjacent road elevation, whichever is higher. The FFE shall be 6 inches higher than the MLAG. 11. Comment 23 of a letter dated March 1, 2013. 2.5 feet of minimum cover is required along the storm sewers. We will support a variance for the minimum pipe cover; however, a condition of the variance will be to upgrade to a higher class of pipe. Please submit a letter of request for the variance as such. 12. Comment 28 of a letter dated March 1, 2013. Where does Detail 1 on C700 apply? All curbing outside the right - of-way shall be constructed per the City's standard. Please provide the appropriate City standard detail for straight concrete curb, and specify City standard curb for all curbing on -site. 13. Please provide the City's Curbing Policy in the plan set.
