of <br />fiver <br />MEMORANDUM <br />TO: Sheila Cartney, Senior Planner <br />FROM: Terry Maurer, Public Works Director <br />DATE: May 22, 2008 <br />SUBJECT: Zane Street Commons <br />File #226-199P <br />As requested, we have reviewed the submittal package for the Zane Street Commons <br />project. The site civil drawings were prepared by Duffy Engineering & Associates, Inc. and <br />were dated April 25, 2008. Also included were storm water calculations with the same date. <br />Based upon our review, we would offer the following broad based comments for the site <br />plan review process. We anticipate that once site plan approval is received, we will have an <br />opportunity to do a more detailed review of the construction plans and specifications prior <br />to any work on the site. <br />The site proposes three access points onto Zane Street; the most northerly lines with <br />a driveway across the street; the middle one is adequately offset from the existing <br />driveways on the opposite side of the street; and the most southerly one is actually <br />on property not owned by the development. In order to provide the access and <br />parking shown in this area, either an easement or acquisition of this triangular piece <br />of property will be required. Even if the most southerly driveway is eliminated, the <br />parking and circulation provided by this area would be required for the development. <br />Therefore, acquisition of the property and/or an easement for its use should be a <br />condition of the site plan approval. <br />2. The storm sewer concept shown is a pipe system pick up the drainage internally and <br />convey it to a pond to be constructed on a parcel to the south. This entire system <br />will be considered private and must be maintained by the owners of the buildings. <br />The piece of property that the buildings sit on relative to the piece of property that <br />the pond is proposed on meets at a single point. Therefore, there is a small piece of <br />property from an adjoining owner that will need to be acquired or an easement <br />granted to implement the storm drainage concept shown. Finally, we are in the <br />
