Mr. Steve Ach February 19, 1997 Page Two o to ensure that storm water does not flow out into Freeport Avenue. This issue was a condition of the approval of the Heying Addition plat. Therefore, this issue needs to be addressed as part of the Applebee's Site Plan review. As part of the approval of the entire Heying Addition plat, storm drainage and internal traffic routes were reviewed and approved. There currently is a proposal to develop a Holiday Stationstore on Lot 1 and the Applebee's on Lot 3. It appears that it will be necessary to develop the ponding and the transportation route through Lot 2 to ensure that the concepts approved with the plat approval are functional for these first two developments. The plan should be modified to indicate how many improvements are planned to be constructed on Lot 2, south of Applebee's. There is a proposed monument sign in the southwest corner of the site. This monument sign appears to be close to the 10-foot drainage and utility easement, along the front of the lot. Care should be taken to place this sign outside of that easement. The same is true of the storm sewer at the access off of Freeport Avenue. This storm sewer should be placed outside of the 10-foot drainage and utility easement. The storm sewer at the access off of Freeport Avenue shows a 12-inch stub extended to the north. The stub falls directly adjacent to a curb line. It is not clear if it is the intent to construct this concrete curb and gutter and parking area at this time, or to leave it undeveloped. If it is constructed at this time, it will be necessary to remove it in the future when the storm sewer line is extended further north. The plans should be modified to reflect what is intended to be built as part of the Applebee's development and what is intended for the future. As part of the approval for the Heying Addition, the grading of the ponds included a 10-foot area directly behind the sidewalk along Freeport Avenue which was essentially flat with one foot of fall in 10 feet. It appears that the Grading Plan for the Applebee's site reflects a steeper slope than was approved. The Grading Plan should be modified to reflect the flat area immediately adjacent to the sidewalk. The storm sewer calculations submitted with the Applebee's plans appear to be adequate. We would note, however, that the plan sheet showing the drainage areas still indicates that the pond outlet is to be built by others. This outlet will need to be constructed prior to or with the Applebee's improvements, so that the storm drainage system is functional.
