Show existing piping as well as inlets within Old Meridian Street. 5. Sheet LIOO - Landscape Plan . Please remove the Landscape Plan from the set of plans submitted for approval. Approval of the Landscape Plan does not come from the Department of Engineering. 6. Is the entrance on the south side of Cranston being constructed or is it existing? No access is shown to Outlot A on C101. How much work is being performed in Outlot A? 7. Please provide pavement-marking plans for Cranston Avenue. 8. Please ensure that walk within right-of-way meets or exceeds City standard detail. If not, -delineate op. Site Plan and add City details. 9. The Development Plan must show the Old Meridian street plans to ensure that the layout is in keeping with the road plans. 10. Provide chair back curb in the right-of-way. 11. Need to indicate a pavement section from road plans for all paving (including entrances up to the right- of-way line) within the right-of-way. 12. What does the standard call for in regard to ADA parking spaces within the right-of-way? 13. How will parking spaces created on Cranston drain? Is Cranston an inverted crown? Will any structures need to be relocated to new gutter line? 14. Please indicate City standard subsurface drains under curb line in right-of-way with connection to existing or proposed storm inlets. 15. There are some area inlets planned as a part of the road project that will be in the sidewalk/patio area. Please confrrm that the work you will do will eliminate the need for these. 16. The Department cannot allow the proposed on-street parking along Old Meridian at this time. Future construction will be permitted when more on-street parking is provided along Old Meridian. However, as this will be the only instance of on-street parking along Old Meridian, the presence of these spaces and access to them directly from a travel lane on a roadway when these spaces are not consistent with the rest of Old Meridian represent a safety hazard. 17. Assume regional detention is provided? 18. Please confrrm from the road plans what is to become of the existing storm sewer inlets. Please ensure that this plan will be consistent with the roadway. 19. The sidewalk cafe seating, brick piers, and metal fence within the right-of-way will require a consent to encroach. These comments represent the Department of Engineering's second review of the construction plans for this project. 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 provide revised plans indicating all revisions. Please notify us of any changes and specifically state any changes, including changes resulting from Plan Commission, Special Studies or other committee meetings. All bonds and performance guarantees (ifrequired) must be posted prior to Engineering Department approval. Also, Board of Public Works and Safety approval and any other governing agency approvals (if required) must be obtained prior to Engineering Department approval. It is our understanding that drainage plans and calculations were never submitted to the City's drainage review consultant. Please provide drainage calculations and an additional set of plans directly to Greg Ilko at Crossroad Engineers. Comments from the drainage review will be forwarded to YOuT office when the review is complete e e . Connection Fees are based upon the average user factor tables from Section 9-35 (water) and 9- 200 (sanitary) of our Utility Ordinance. The current Connection Fees are $1,310.00 per EDU for water and $795.00 per EDU for sanitary sewer. Please provide this office with a listing of the proposed usage of the two proposed buildings in order that Connection Fees may be calculated. The listing should include the proposed retail usage and square feet per building and the number of apartment buildings per building. If restaurants are to be included in the development, we will need the total seating capacity (including outdoor seating) per facility. I am enclosing copies of our Average User Factors for Water and Sanitary Se\vers and our current fee schedule. I have also highlighted the Average User Factors that might apply to this development. Note: Any deviation from the Connection Fee calculations listed in our Ordinance will require Carmel Utilities and Board of Public JVorks and Safety approvals. 5. TAC Review/Dra\vings submitted for approval: We request that all comments and comment letters generated by this office be ans\vered in writing and be accompanied by a drawing reflecting requested revisions. Final drawings will not be approved for construction until all issues have been resolved. All Carmel Utility issues must also be resolved. The design engineer must certify all drawings submitted for final approval. This office will require a minimunl of five sets (maximum of seven sets) of approved drawings after all issues have been resolved. The drawings will be stamped approved and signed by both the City Engineer and Director Carmel Utilities. The Developer/Owner will receive one-set which is to be maintained on the construction site at all times. Carmel Utilities will receive two sets. Our Public Works Inspector will receive one set and one set will be maintained in the Department of Engineering. If more than the minimum five sets are requested to be approved, the additional sets (maximum total of two additional) must be submitted with the five required sets. 6. Please be advised that any installation of signs, walls, irrigation systems, etc. within dedicated easements and/or right of way 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. A copy of our Residential Subdivision and Commercial Irrigation System Requirements are available upon request. 7. Carmel Utilities does not subscribe to "Holey Moley" and should be contacted directly for all water main and sanitary sewer main locations. 8. Carmel Utilities will provide a separate review of this project for water and sanitary sewer issues. 9. I am including copies of the following \vith this correspondence: . Commercial Project Approval Procedures. . Performance Release Procedure. . Permit Data, Contacts, etc. . Commercial Permitting Procedures. BONDING REQUIREMENTS 10.

Ho\vever, as this will be the only instance of on-street parking along Old Meridian, the presence of these spaces and access to them directly from a travel lane on a roadway when these spaces are not consistent with the rest of Old Meridian represent a safety hazard. 30. Assume regional detention is provided? 31. The Department requests that any general or plan notes, details, or specifications be revised or added to appropriate sheets to accommodate the following requirement for installation within existing and proposed City right-of-way. The Department assumes that the storm system will be a private system, but recommends that the entire storm system be constructed to meet the following requirements to facilitate future acceptance by the City: "Bedding, haunching, and initial backfill for all RCP installations shall be B-Borrow for Structure Backfill meeting the material requirements of the INDOT. Bedding shall be placed in the trench bottom such that after the pipe is installed to grade and line, there remains a 4-inch minimum depth of material below the pipe barrel and a minimum of 3-inchesbelow the bell. For pipe sizes 66-inches and larger, the minimum depth of material below the pipe barrel shall be 6-inches. Bedding shall be placed to be uniform as possible, but shall be loosely placed uncompacted material under the middle third of the pipe prior to placement of the pipe. Haunching and initial backfill shall be compacted in 8-inch maximum lifts to not less than 90% Standard Proctor Density for the entire depth of the material placed. The backfill shall be brought up evenly on both sides of the pipe for the full length of the pipe. Haunching shall extend to the springline of the pipe. The limit of initial backfill shall be 6-inches above the springline. Minimum trench width shall be the outside diameter of the pipe plus I8-inches. Final backfill for all RCP installations under and within 5- feet of pavement (including sidewalks) shall be B-Borrow for Structure Backfill meeting the material requirements of the INDOT and shall be compacted in 6-inch maximum lifts to not less than 95% Standard Proctor Density for the entire depth of the material placed. The backfill for the top 6-inches of the excavation below the start of the aggregate subbase of the pavement shall be No. 53 Stone meeting the material requirements of the INDOT and shall be compacted to not less than 95% Standard Proctor Density. Final Backfill for all RCP installations greater than 5-feet from any pavement shall be clean fill material free of rocks larger than 6-inches in diameter, frozen lumps of soil, wood or other extraneous material, compacted in 12-inch maximum lifts to not less than 90% Standard Proctor Density for the entire depth of the excavation." and that these installations conform with the following minimum cover requirements: "For installation of Storm Mains, Water Mains, Sanitary Mains, Water Service Laterals, Sanitary Service Laterals under City streets, regardless of the jurisdiction of the utility, the minimum cover from the top of the installed pavement to the top of the installed pipe shall be the pavement section thickness (all bituminous and aggregate material above the subgrade) plus 1- 0". If the standard practice of the utility that has jurisdiction over the installation has a more stringent cover requirement, the more stringent requirement shall govern." 32. Please confirm from the road plans what is to become of the existing storm sewer inlets. Please ensure that this plan will be consistent with the roadway.
