(City responses shown in Red)
General
2. BMC 38.270.020.A.1 – Construction Route
a. New: The construction route must be revised to eliminate Catron Street
(a local street) from the construction route. The route map must be
expanded to identify the principal arterial streets providing access to the
project. The updated route no longer indicates how construction traffic
will access the site. The route must minimize construction traffic on local
streets or impacts to the public. The applicant’s response is incorrect that
only local streets surround the project. Catamount directly adjacent is an
arterial street.
Response: The Construction Route Map on Sheet C0.1 has been corrected.
Storm Drainage
d. Please identify the gravel bedding dimension for the respective CMP subsurface
systems on the plans. – Dimensions have not been identified on the plans. Detail
9 on Sheet C2.0 calls out 12” min to surround the CMP piping, however Basin B
requires addition bedding (bedding width (4.75’)-pipe diameter (2.5’) = 2.25’).
More over the groundwater section (Section C) of the stormwater report calls out
6” of porous stone to surround the pipe. Basin C requires a bedding depth of 4
feet or a minimum of 12” above and below the pipe. As such a portion of the
required volume for basin C will be inundated by groundwater. The applicant
must correct or clarify these discrepancies.
Response: The detail on Sht C2.0 has been revised to match the design for each
infiltration basin.
