Re: Waterside Estates II
Dear Bill:
I have received and reviewed the zeference plans and have the followin§
comments to offer:
1 Landscapin§ and irrigation plans must be included as part of
these construction plans.
2 At various places throughout these plans, chan§es were made
that was not requested by the City. In the future, when
unrequested changes are made, please provide a cover letter
denotin§ those changes, so as to speed up the review.
3 The following comments pertain to the final plat provided:
a. A 20' easement should be shown between Lots 33 and 34.
b. It appears as though your landscape easements should be
wider at the intersection of Spyglass Drive with Parkway
Blvd. to accommodate the wallo This comment also applies
to the intersection of Waterside Drive with MacArthur Blvd.
c. A wall/landscape easement should be provided alon§
MacArthur Blvd.
d. Maintenance of all common areas will be the responsibility
of the Homeowner's Association.
4 Sidewalks should be shown in both the typical street section
and on the plan view. There should be some reference as to
when those sidewalks will be installed. Typically the sidewalk
is installed 1' off the property line.
5) A 30' radius should be provided at the intersection of
Waterside Drive with MacArthur Blvd.

6} The street grade on Greenway Drive exceeds the maximum 5%.
7) As we previously discussed, the inlets on West Lake Drive and
West Lake Court should be realigned so they are not offset at
the low point.
8) The flume shown on plate 11 between Lots 33 and 34 should be a
minimum of 6' wide for maintenance reasons. Also, the entrance
radius to the flume should be in the neighborhood of 3 to 5
foot.
9) The location of that flume could somewhat limit the ability to
properly access Lots 33 and 34, Block F.
10) The alley between Lots 35, Block B exceeds the maximum 5%.
11) A positive overflow should be provided at all low point inlets.
12) The sanitary sewer lines as shown on plate 15 should be
concrete encased.
13) The 8" sanitary sewer lines as shown on plate 17 should be
concrete encased.
14) The water line in Spyglass Hill, as it goes across the lake,
should be shown in the profile and view on plate 18.
15] Some type of phasing plan should be shown as noted on plate
21. This phasing plan will apply to the water and sewer and
how it will be supplied to the various phases.
16) A water service should be provided to the common area in
Waterside Drive.
17) The valve should be eliminated on Spyglass Drive above the lake
area.
18) Notice the relocation of the valve on Shorewood Drive at Allen
Bay Drive.
19) Additional comments should be added to general note #25 which
states a maximum cover of 6' for the sanitary sewer services at
the property line.
20) Notice the concrete encasement on Plate 22.

21) Notice the concrete encasement on Plate 23.
22) The proposed wall and drainage easement adjacent to MacArthur
Blvd. is a problem. The fencing impedes the flow of water and
any side fences would impede the flow of water as shown.
Please be aware that these lots should drain to MacArthur Blvd.
23) A portion of your site grading plan near the intersection of
Greenway with Spyglass is inconsistent with the drainage area
map. One of the two should be revised. Also, notice that
Spyglass Drive is labeled as Moonlight Drive on this sheet.
24) A positive overflow should be provided as noted on plate 25.
25) A positive overflow should be provided as noted. Please be
aware that the inlets on West Lake Drive and West Lake Court
pose a particular problem with positive overflow. It's quite
possible that Lot 11 Block A will be inundated with water. My
opinion is that the minimum finished floor for that lot should
be raised above the highest top of curb elevation adjacent to
the lot.
Sincerely,
Kenneth M. Griffin, P.E.
