FROM:
SUBJECT:
Halff Associates has received the City comments dated February 22, 2008 for the subject project and we
offer the following responses:
City of CODDell comment:
1 . The easement for the storm drain should be 20'.
Hal" Associates res/Jonse:
1. Easement revised to 20' width. Revised easement description and exhibit will be e-mailed to you
early next week
City of COD Dell comment:
2. Has TXU approved the outfall in their easement?
Hal" Associates res/Jonse:
2. Drainage outfall structure and grading has been removed from TXU/Oncor Raw.
City of CODDell comment:
3. How does the outfall drain properly with the flow line lower than the existing grade? We are
concerned that the possible standing water will be an issue with the business owners and they
will blame the city.
Hal" Associates res/Jonse:
3. During and after a rainfall event, there is the potential for up to 1', more or less, of standing water
at the 48" RCP outfall before spilling into the wetland in TXU/Oncor Raw. The rip rap (non-
grouted) at outfall should help with infiltration of water over a short period of time to minimize
standing water. If ponding becomes an issue between the time of completed construction of pad
site and design of future site development, other solutions could be explored at that time. The
owner is aware of this issue. Also, in response to your note on C3.01 which says "outfall is 4'
below this elevation?".. ... the spot elevation you're referring to is on top of an existing culvert
crossing, so the flow line of the channel is much lower. The contours were generated from an
aerial and apparently did not pick up the culvert, but I've seen it in the field.. .its corrugated metal
pipe. In response to another comment on C3.01 which says "is 12" adequate?". ...the pipes are
designed only to relieve any potential ponding, they were not designed for a particular
conveyance flow. To elaborate, the swales from Phase I & 11 are not connected because the U.S.
Corps of Engineers has identified the area between them as wetlands. We've obtained a
Nationwide 404 Permit from the Corps to construct the pad site and mitigate as outlined in the
Permit. Therefore, we had to design the downstream end of the swale with an embankment to
match existing and minimize impacts to the wetlands.
