Christine and Mike,
I have reviewed the grading plan for 1587 Maple Place, stamped received on June 4, 2012 and have the following
comments:
• The grading plan presented does not reflect the grading plan approved at the May 14th City Council Meeting.
• The approved CUP addressed the storm sewer concerns for the entire group of properties being proposed to be
developed. As of today,the CUP has not been signed and no grading has taken place on this site. The CUP does
show significant grading taking place on this property, but the submitted grading plan does not reflect this. The
applicant will need to either sign the CUP and perform all the grading proposed and approved in the CUP or they
need to submit an approved storm sewer model showing there will are no impacts on the proposed structure.
This analysis will also have to be redone for each future proposed plan.
• If they want to submit a model to try to show the home is not impacted by storm sewer, the model will need to
be done with the existing outfall and cannot use the proposed outfall improvements. If the applicant chooses to
not sign the CUP and intends to try a site by site approach,the City will not perform the outfall improvements
until the grading plan as proposed in the CUP is completed. Also, it should be noted that if the applicant
chooses to go on a site by site approach there is a good chance future sites will not be approved because there
is a good chance they will be impacted by the storm sewer.
• The applicant has not submitted approval for how this home will get water. If the applicant is proposing a well,
the well should be indicated on the plan, or if the applicant is planning on connecting to the City water system,
they will need to get plans to the City for final review and approval.
