Section 179-6-080 of the Town Code, states that the stormwater drainage plans shall analyze the impacts of a project using as least a 50- year return storm with regards to both runoff rate and volume for commercial projects. The Applicant has provided a 50- year storm analysis. 3. The graphic scale bar on Site Plan sheets 2, 3, and 5 should be revised to the correct scale of 1"=20'. 4. The HydroCAD report indicates the existing infiltration basin with a bottom elevation of 319' in the existing and proposed model. The existing conditions plan and grading plan do not show a 319' contour. Please revise the Plans and/ or HydroCAD model accordingly. 5. The Applicant is proposing an eave trench with an infiltration rate of 5 in/hr. There does not appear to be soil test pits or infiltration test results provided for the proposed infiltration device. The Applicant to perform soil test pits and infiltration testing within the bounds of each infiltration practice to confirm the soil's infiltration capacity and verify adequate separation distances exist. Soil testing may be performed during the time of construction. However, it shall be noted that if any design changes occur because of discovered inconsistency in soil conditions, the project may be subject to additional site plan review. The Applicant shall notify the Town prior to advancing the soil testing, such that the Town can witness the testing if they so choose. 6. The Applicant shall provide atypical detail for the proposed eave trench. 7. A legally binding and enforceable maintenance agreement shall be executed between the landowner and the Town ensuring the proper maintenance measures will be implemented for all proposed stormwater management practices in accordance with Section 147-10.D of the Town Code. 8. Forebays are intended to pre -treat stormwater infiltration practices and therefore will eventually become inundated with sediment that will greatly reduce the infiltrative capacity of the underlying soil. Based on that principle, it is assumed that forebays will have a permanent pool of stormwater at the outlet elevation. 2 Conclusion and Recommendations The technical comments above are significant in nature. We therefore recommend that the Board require the applicant to update their application to address these comments.
