Of Community Services One Civic Square Carmel, IN 46032 RE: Jacks Design Alternate Gentlemen, Please find the attached design alternate. This plan proposes to increase parking areas and provide underground storage which further reduces the rate of storm water run off from the site. Please review the plan and drainage report and contact me at your convenience. I am uncertain how to handle approval on this matter at this time. Please advise. Thanks.

Offering Complete Land Development Services www. BenchmarkLS.com DRAINAGE REPORT This Design Alternate consists of parking expansion and the addition of storm sewer/detention improvements from the previous accepted design. A 6" PVC control pipe, essentially acting as a submerged orifice, will detain the storm sewer improvements. A previous project established peak release rates for this site of 5.3 cfs for the developed 10 year event and 7.8 cfs for the developed 100 year event (for storage situations). See Appendix B for the original drainage report. These values represent existing conditions (to which the original design was not allowed to exceed) and have been approved by the City of Carmel and the Hamilton County Surveyor's Office. Appendix A contains output from design software. In it are (1) the peak developed 10 year storage repoi't, (2) the peak developed 100 year storage report, and (3) an outlet calculation sheet. This project will release all storm mn-off at approximately the previously established peak release rates (10 Proposed/2 Existing and 100 Proposed/10 Existing for storage). The peak mn-off during the developed 10 year event is 5.5 cfs, and the peak mn-off during developed 100 year event is 5.6 cfs. It should be noted that at the ten year event, the discharge exceeds the existing two year event by (5.6- 5.3) 0.3 cfs. We feel this slightly overage should be viewed as acceptable since this is still a vast improvement by decreasing the ten year developed event to the two year existing event. Under the original design, where storage was not proposed, proposed conditions were required to match existing conditions for the same rain events. At the 10 year storage head, the free board in the underground detention pipes is approximately 1.45 foot, and at the 100 year storage head, the free board in the underground detention pipes is approximately 1.33 foot. 'Significant improvements under this design alternate over the original accepted design include decreasing the ten year event from 7.49 cfs to 5.5 cfs and the one hundred year event from 10.38 cfs to 5.6 cfs. ,.,.

As the attached exhibit shows, we accomplish this by reducing the overall impervious conditions under this development. Assuming equal and exceptionally small times of concentration for the proposed and existing conditions (tc=5 minutes, i2--4.75, i10=6.99, i100-9.69), a rational analysis indicates the following discharges: Jack's Tool Rental Q2 Q 10 Q 100 I=4.75 I=6.99 1=9.69 Existing (C=0.656) ~98), ~7'.7~' 10.77 Proposed (C=0.632) 7.~'J9 10.38 If you have any questions, please contact me at the business numbers indicated on the footer of this page.

We offer the following additional comments based upon her review: The initial concern was that the proposed improvements have increased the overall impervious surface without providing detention. The parking lot has curb turnouts with no detail of ditch/possible detention area being indicated. It appears that the entire parking lot sheet drains into the area of the Carmel Drive streetscape, which would be required to take in this drainage. However, the City Engineer has reviewed the drainage calcs provided, and will accept the drainage plan. Sheet 3 Carmel Drive Entrance: The dra~vings do not reflect proposed Carmel Drive Improvements. The drawings should show proposed improvements and identify them as "Proposed Carmel Drive Improvements by the City of Carmel". Please clarify and label existing and proposed curbing and pavement edge. Also, this drive's curb radii are not shown to blend into the new street width. Curvature needs to be able to accommodate the turning radius of larger vehicles. As shown, they will run over curbing turning right into the site. Please show the drive culvert details (length, invert elevations) and/or how drainage will be provided for with our projects' changes. Both drives need to sufficiently show the limits of the new drive approaches and which one(s) are being built with the City's projects. It does not appear that they have been correctly shown. It is not clear as to where the proposed sites improvements end and the City of Carmel's begin. Sheet 4 Please expand the details of grading or elevations across the site on the Grading Plan. What are the elevations, slopes/contours and/or slopes of all areas adjacent to site, that is out front of parking area and along north and west boundaries. Can't determine how drainage is taken care of and directed to appropriate outlets. Lots of landscaping is shown proposed for these areas, but we need to see how drainage will be provided for. Curb turnouts need more detail of elevations and size/slope, etc. Do not see any detail for these. Has there been detail provided for the swales out front. This area may be taken care of with our Carmel Drive project, but it needs to be shown if that's the case ("By Others" or "With the City of Carmel Improvements Project").

The arrows are acceptable, but we would like more spot shots and/or slopes. · SYMBOL LEGEND includes many symbols that can't be located and does not include the symbols found on the drawing (fencing, darkened spots (manholes?), arrows, curb turnouts, storm structures, shading/cross hatching, etc.). · The long list of Site Details does not seem appropriate on this sheet. Why is it included? Some of these are needed for Sheet 3, but not most. Also, on Sheet 3, what are RR and DF? Did not see info on these but they are labeled on the sheet (in parking lot and along swale). Sheet 7 · Where are the pavement sections? Either of these proposed in our right of way? Sheet 8 Silt fence should continue around the northwest boundaries of the site to wrap around the limits of proposed building and protect adjacent property from ground changes in this area. Sheets 9~ 10 and all "Detail Sheets" · The plans should not include details for items that are not included. · Where is "Straw Bale Dam"? Riprap Ditch Check? (Sheet 9) · Is there ANY pipe proposed on this site? Why are there six different details for pipe installation (Sheet 10)? · "Typical Boring Detail" (Sheet 11)? Are there any bores expected? We did not see any on the plans. · Why is there no detail for swales, curb turnouts and riprap? We apologize for the delay in providing these additional comments. We have released this project for the pre-submittal meeting. We appreciate and thank Jack's Tool Rental for the dedication of fight of way. If you will make the requested revisions to the drawings and submit a minimum of 5-sets of certified drawings for approval by the City Engineer and Carmel Utilities, you will be able to start construction. The only remaining issue is the possibility of additional connection fees. John Duffy of Carmel Utilities is reviewing this issue.

While I have no objection to planting Tartarian maples under or close to overhead power lines, they are not categorized as shade trees. Shade trees are medium to large maturing trees (40 feet and above). The Tartarians would be categorized as ornamental trees. This would leave your shade tree calculations short 9 shade trees. If you would like to change some of the ornamental species proposed on the site to shade trees in areas not within twenty-five feet of the overhead powers lines, that would be permissible. Or adding another planting area not within twenty-five feet of overhead lines to add shade trees, might be permissible as well.

Because a certain section of the rear and side yard requirement is being waived due to replacement of the perimeter fencing along the streets, only 31 shade and 31 ornamental trees are needed. The current plans provide for above the required amount of shrubs, but there are only 17 shade trees, and 21 ornamental trees on the landscaping plan. An additional 14 shade and 10 ornamental trees are required. . For reasons of species diversity, at least three (3) species of ornamental trees and three (3) species of shade trees need to be planted. At least five (5) species of shrubs should be selected. Planting of monocultures is strongly discouraged. In addition to Acer nigrum (black maple), Nysaa sylvatica (black gum), Ginko bil°ba, Quercus bicolor (swamp while oak) or macrocarpa (bur oak), or Tilia tomentosa (Sterling linden) are acceptable shade tree species. Ornamental tree species, which are acceptable, include Acer ginnala (amur maple), Carpinus caroliniana (American hornbeam), Fagus sylvatica "th-color" (th- color beech), Cladratis kentukea (yellowwood), or Syringa reticulata "Ivory Silk" (Ivory Silk Japanese lilac tree). o Landscaping note number four (4) shall specify the 1996 or latest edition rather than 1986. , A note needs to be added that states, "All stakes and guying wire shall be removed within one year of installation." ONE CIVIC SQUARE CARMEL, INDIANA 46032 317/571-2417 e 6. o o The graphic tree planting details must state that the "ROOT FLARE TO BE PLANTED AT GRADE OR GROUND LINE" instead of GROUND LINE SAME AS NURSERY. A note is to be added that directs installers to untie all binding on the soil balls and remove the top 1/3 of the burlap. The plant schedule must include the type and minimum size to be installed. The minimum sizes unless otherwise noted should be: evergreens- eight (8) feet in height, shrubs - twenty-four (24) inches in height, shade trees - two and a half (2 ½) inches in diameter, ornamental trees - one and a half (1 ½) inches in diameter. Within twenty (20) feet of overhead powerlines, only small growing omamental trees with a mature height of less than twenty-five (25) should be planted. There are overhead powerlines on the northwest, north, and southeast perimeters of this site. The large grassy area parallel to Third Avenue should be utilized to plant the additional shade trees needed. Adding a large parking lot island along the north end of the parking strip that parallels Third Avenue could allow space for additional planting. An island of nine hundred (900 sft.) square feet would provide room for 5 shade trees (90'xl 0' or 20'x60'xl 0'). Please reply to these comments in writing and by amended plans.

We offer the following comments: GENERAL INFORMATION 1. The project site is located within current City of Carmel Corporate Limits. The following jurisdictions will apply. 2. Jurisdictions: · Street and Right of Way - City of Carmel (Carmel Drive/3rd Avenue SW) · Water-City of Carmel · Sanitary Sewer-City of Cannel · Storm Sewer - City of Carmel. 3. Board of Public Works and Safety Approval Requirements: · Commercial Curb Cut. It appears the existing curb cut on Carmel Drive is being modified. This will require approval by our Board of Public Works and Safety. We will require an 8 ½ x 11 drawing of the Carmel Drive curb cut. This drawing will be used as an exhibit to accompany your request for Board of Works approval of the modified curb cut. These drawings should include all pertinent dimension including accel/decel lanes if applicable, opposing curb cuts, radii, width, etc. If there are no modifications planned for the existing 3rd Avenue curb cut, BPW approval will not be required. The City Engineer will provide additional comments regarding the existing curb cuts - and will eventually provide a recommendation to the Board regarding the curb cuts. · Temporary Construction Entrance. Same requirements as for the Commercial Curb Cut. · Consent to Encroach Agreements for any permanent improvement to be installed within dedicated right of way and/or dedicated easements. · Dedication of right of way if applicable. · Water and Sanitary Sewer Availability approval. Additional capacity approval may be required for this project since the building size is increasing from 4,230 sq. ft. to 8,482 sq. ft. Carmel Utilities will make this decision. I am enclosing a schedule for Board of Public Works and Safety meeting dates and agenda deadlines for your use. Please use the Engineering Department deadlines for submissions to the Board. Any submission to the Board requires prior final approval by the Carmel Clay Plan Commission and/or the Board of Zoning Appeals attd completion of review by the Technical Advisory Contmittee. All written requests to be place on the Board's agenda must include the appropriate Docket Numbers and the date (or dates) of approval by the Plan Commission and/or BZA.

We request that a full size, scaled set of civil construction plans be submitted for review and comments by this department. It is difficult to provide complete comments due to the reduced size and limited readability. However, we will comment on standard items and/or issues that we are able to determine from the drawings submitted. 12. Please dimension the proposed right of way dedication on Carmel Drive. If the dimension is there, it is difficult to read. 13. What is the purpose of the crushed stone area along 3rd Avenue SW? Will this be equipment storage? We will defer to our Department of Community Services regarding comments concerning this area. 14. Please provide drainage calculations for the project. The City Engineer has not reviewed the drawings submitted for this project. We reserve the right to provide additional comments upon her review and upon receipt of full size civil plans as requested previously and a copy of drainage calculations. The above comments are based upon the Engineering Department's initial review. Please provide our office with a follow up letter regarding this review and revised plans, indicating all revisions. A second review will focus only on detailed construction plans. It is critical that our office be made aware of all modifications made on the plans being re-submitted, particularly if any such changes are considered "new" or fall outside of our initial review.
