(
This site has adequate sewer lines installed to allow full development. Due to restrictions of the
plumbing code it may benefit site layout to combine tax lots. This would allow more flexibility
in the design of both the storm and wastewater system. The storm system in Main Street
appears to currently have sufficient capacity for normal events but may flood during high
rainfall events. Some drainage mitigation measures are desired. The degree necessary will
depend on the individual site design chosen and can likely be integrated with the required storm
water quality requirements. I have included a stormwater scoping sheet with this response
5. Referencing the two prospective Conceptual Plans and the relevant code requirements,
does the planning, fire and/or, building department have any. concerns or helpful
information regarding the proposed design?
Due to the preliminary nature of the plans presented the building department has limited input at
this stage, The proposal includes two tax lots currently and this may influence how the various
building needs to be constructed to comply with fire codes and setback requirements.
Combining of the tax lots and/or a property line adjustment could possibly resolve many of
these issues.
