Please use proper judgment and caution when opening attachments, clicking links, or responding to this email. Hi Marla, Thanks for taking a look through the application materials. As far as the earthwork volume, my understanding in talking with Ken is the intent is to continue to add fill to the site until it approaches the existing grade along Berard Drive (+/-279'). Based on using a proposed finish grade of 275' (slightly lower than Berard Drive) and within the limits of fill shown on C-1.2, the estimated volume of fill for the site is approx. 45,000 yds. There is no proposed widening of the existing southern access drive, only proposed minor clearing of ex. vegetation to increase the southern sight distance as well as placing a "Trucks Entering" sign along Berard Drive 500' further south. At this point the stormwater management system for the site would just be in general terms. Since there are already existing catch basins and an existing storm pipe located in the northern part of the site which conveys runoff from portions of the site as well as from Berard Drive, it seems like the most practical approach would be to convey the stormwater runoff into this existing stormwater system once the site reaches finish grade. The site would continue to use EPSC measures such as swales, gravel berms and settling ponds as the site is filled and built up. Please feel free to reach out if you have any other questions/comments or need anything else. Thanks, Jesse Carswell, P.E.

I’d like to put this on the September 18 agenda. Can you let me know when you think you could get the revised information to me? Application Requirement Project-specific notes Estimate of all earthwork, including the quantity of any material to be imported to or removed from the site or a statement that no material is to be removed or imported. Please provide a volume which will be the total placed once the site is filled to the proposed grade. This will be used as a cap / upper limit if the Board approves the project. All means of vehicular access and egress to and from the site onto public streets, and all provisions for pedestrian access and circulation. Please provide more information about the proposed driveway widening. There are a lot of application submission requirements that are technically not being met but it is my opinion that they are not really applicable to the proposed project. It is ultimately the Board’s decision on whether to waive requirements, and so it may come up later that they want you to show a more robust EPSC plan, for instance. I do expect our stormwater section to want to see more information about the stormwater management system. Anything about the design that you have in-house now that you can share would help keep their comments focused rather than general.
