• Mr. Steve Ach <br /> January 19, 1995 <br /> Page Four <br /> C. STORM DRAINAGE <br /> The storm drainage plan submitted by the Developer consists of a series of small <br /> ponds spread throughout the proposed plat that are intended to restrict the runoff <br /> from the site to its current rate. Runoff currently leaves the site through a 24-inch <br /> diameter culvert under TH 10. The intent of the Drainage Plan is to continue to <br /> utilize this existing culvert to its fullest extent. At this point in time, it is difficult <br /> to give definitive comment on the Storm Drainage Plan because the City has just <br /> authorized a Comprehensive Drainage Plan for the entire western area of the City. <br /> We would indicate, however, we are somewhat negative on the layout of the ponds <br /> in this development, since they overlap drainage and utility easements. In other <br /> words, these easements in a storm situation would be flooded and virtually useless <br /> for telephone, electric, or cable installations that are above ground. We would like <br /> to reserve final comment on the Storm Drainage Plan and the layout of the ponds <br /> until we have been able to complete our preliminary analysis of the overall western <br /> area which should be accomplished prior to this plat being submitted to the City <br /> Council. We would indicate, however, that the concept is reasonable and we do not <br /> • believe that the issue of final layout of the storm drainage system should be reason <br /> to hold up the progress of this plat. <br /> If you have any questions regarding any of these comments, please call. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> MSA, CONSULTING ENGINEERS <br /> a <br /> Terry J. aurer, P.E. <br /> TJM:tw <br /> • <br /> 230/259-1905.jan <br />
