Good afternoon Tyler,
I apologize for the delay,thanks for reaching out.
I consider everything resolved given Bretts responses below to items(1-5)with one exception.The approx.3,000CF of storage
originally provided in the attached reporting in Pond#4(highlighted)should be maintained with this site plan application. Please
have Brett update the civil drawing(C1.0)to reflect that change with the next submittal to reach final resolution with respect to
these items.
I will update the formal Pdox submittal accordingly.
Thanks again!

HiAll-
As you are all aware,the review of the site plan is still in the city's court to wrap up. It sounds like we've reached a consensus on
how to address the engineering concerns,and the attached documents should reflect that.
Is there any way we can have these two files uploaded to the Documents and Drawings folder and have the associated comments
marked as resolved?We are really trying to avoid another RC submittal and a potential delay,if possible.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks all,
Tyler

As a quick response to your comments(we will send our items to Tyler to upload with the next response);
1. After measuring in cadd to verify,the roof area is actually 7,244sf(original 14k sf number previously was gross floor area),which
corresponds to the original subdivision documents. Our report, calculations&plan sheets have been updated to reflect this footprint.
2. The existing drywell was installed to handle the building footprint runoff from a 7,244 sf rooftop. The existing drywell shown for
drainage area 7(to our east)has the same amount of runoff volume as the existing drywell for drainage area 8(our building area)which
matches those conditions.
3. Pond 4 from the original subdivision design was oversized due to old assumptions at the time and the fact that it was originally sized
to accommodate the roof runoff as well(prior to a new redesign for a drywell for our drainage basin), but will now be tied into that
drywell. This pond has been resized to account for the runoff produced from Basin A in our report as well as Pond 3 will be expanded
(as shown)to account for the runoff volume from Basin C in our report. This again has been updated and reflected in our report,
calculations&design plans.
4. The overflow path for runoff will remain the same as the previous subdivision design,via routing to the existing stormwater system to
the north. Pond 3 will overflow into a swale along the western boundary which is routed to Pond 4,where Pond 4 will overflow into the
existing Pond 5 north of our property. Pond 5 is then routed into the existing stormwater infrastructure already constructed further north.
5. Noted, no trees will be placed within the stormwater ponds.
Let me know if you have any other questions on this,otherwise as mentioned above,the updated/corresponding docs will be uploaded
with the next response.

Good morning Brett,
After considering some of the additional information I wanted to offer the following directives to keep this project moving
forward. Please address the following storm water elements in the next site plan submittal to reach adequacy.
1.As I understand the building proposed is 8,040sf, not 14,500sf as reported. Please amend the report and calculations to the
actual building area (8,040sf).
2. Details on the drywell shown on the site plan are non-conclusive in the C&H Spring Creek Village Subdivision report. No
volume is reported,please confirm and certify the existing drywell volume.
3.Any Modifications to the existing ponds(3&4) must be clarified and the engineer must provide certification that the
originaly entitled volume is maintained.Any runoff volume produced that is above the entitled volume must comply with
the current 2024 storm water design standards.
4. Please clarify the storm water overflow path and destination with an exhibit.
5. Landscaping trees will not be allowed in the storm water ponds in this instance.
Thank you for continuing to work with us on this,

Hi Mikaela-
One other item to note, and thanks Tyler for catching this, is that even though those drywells were sized for 14,500 SF of roof area,
our building is only 8,040 SF, so just over half of that original design.
Let us know if you need anything else on this.

Hi Mikaela- Thanks for the phone call, I do appreciate it.
After chatting with you,as well as looking back through the original plans/design reports on this,the only mention I can find for
those dry wells was on page 18 of the attached report(page 19 of the pdf)stating that"All drainage areas flowing to drywells are
purely roof drainage areas." So,as we mention in our report(Section 6.5),the original was for 14,500 sf of building roof area,and
our building is proposed as 14,500 sf.
Also, in regards to that western pond,we will oversize it the best that we can to allow for additional drainage capacity while still
leaving space for the proposed trees.
Let me know if you have any questions on this or if you need anything else from us to get through adequacy. Thanks for your help!

track for adequacy with your application.You can have them reach out directly,or work with Audrey to schedule some

Hi Mikaela-
I wanted to reach on 26089 Ferguson Farm Bilk 2 SP project to hopefully provide you with the additional
context you need to mark a few comments as resolved.We are really trying to get adequacy this go around so
anything we can do is greatly appreciated. I have also copied our engineers on this string as they know way
more than me.
23 2 Engineering Comment Unresolved
Mikaela Schultz The applicant has shown Drainage Basin B is the building pad area and is
4/20/264:15 PM proposed to route to an existing drywell installed for this purpose.Provide
the master site plan reporting that addresses the drywell,so the review
engineer can verify that the proposed design fits within the approved MSP
design and that existing drywell has adequate capacity to accept all of the
drainage.Please provide additional information as requested prior to further
site plan review.
For our Drainage Basin B, please see the original stormwater design report included as "Appendix 2.E_Design
Report-Spring Creek Village Resort Lot 4-Stormwater"(page 40) as provided within the Engineering Report
appendices, which points to the original dry well design &layout.
24 2 Engineering Comment Unresolved
Mikaela Schutt, The applicant has shown Drainage Basin A as the panting lot area draining
4/20/26 4:21 PM to a pond west of the parking lot.The pond currently has a storage volume
of 3,093 d and u proposed to be reduced to 1,300 cf.The extra 1,963 cf
provided in the current pond does not appear to have clear reasoning
outlined in the MSP reporting,so reducing the pond size to be closer to the
necessary storage volume could be acceptable.Please disclose to the review
engineer why the existing pond is being proposed to be filled.If the fill is to
accommodate the proposed landscaping(trees)is there any circumstance
under which the proposed trees could be removed to keep the pond volume
as designed in the MSP and allow for more storage(snow and drainage)and
overflow events?Please provide additional information as requested prior to
further site plan review.
For our Drainage Basin A, it was found from previous design calculations that the provided volume was 2,720
CF(located on 2.F Pages from Spring Creek Village Resort Lot 4) whereas the necessary volume was only
1,940 CF for that entire basin which was comprised of our entire lot. This was based on what they assumed at
the time in regards impervious areas, grading, etc. Our new calculations for that drainage basin then breaks
that lot up into 3 sub-basins as included in 5.A through 5.0 of the Engineering Report appendices, showing that
the new volume necessary for that pond is only 1,277 CF.
If you have any questions, please let me know I am happy to help.
Thank you,
Tyler
