Engineering: 1. On the site plan identify the projected average daily traffic (ADT) for the proposed project utilizing latest SANDAG figures. 2. On the site plan include the distance from the project driveway to the southerly intersection with Palomar Airport Road. 3. On the site plan and conceptual grading plan, identify the record document that secures the reciprocal access easements for the shared driveway entrance with the adjacent property. Provide a copy for our records. 4. On the site plan provide sufficient dimensions on the site plan to clearly identify the size of parking stalls and drive aisle widths. 5. On the site plan and conceptual grading plan depict and call-out all existing underground facilities along the project frontage of Loker Avenue (size, type, hydraulic grade line, reference drawings, etc.) 6. Provide a Soils Report addressing the feasibility and recommendations associated with the proposed project. Identify if there is anticipated remedial grading required for the project. 7. Provide a title report for the subject property. 8. Provide a hydrology study that addresses storm flows experienced by the site and what measures are required in order to intercept the flows. Identify measures to ensure that post-development storm flows do not exceed pre-development storm flows. 9. Revise the site plan to depict all proposed easements. The current one only shows existing easements. 10. Revise the site plan to show the existing and proposed facilities required to serve the project. ISSUES OF CONCERN Planning: 1. Please include employee eating area calculations on plans. 2. Please show proposed roof screening plan. Engineering: 1. The updated National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit is nearing approval, and would involve significant changes to this project and other projects processed throughout the San Diego region. It is our understanding that these changes would not include a grandfather clause for projects. This means that this project and all other projects will be immediately impacted pursuant to the approved NPDES requirements, no matter what stage projects are in. We encourage you to review the draft permit requirements so that you understand the nature of our comments when they are made on projects. In order to facilitate compliance of this project, the following are some criteria that should be incorporated into the design of the project: a) Post development run-off should not exceed pre-development run-off. This shall be certified via engineering calculations in the project hydrology/hydraulic report. Revise the plans to show all provisions to ensure no increase storm flows via methods such as detainment areas, ponded parking lots, detention basins, etc. b) On parking lot areas, include additional measures required to capture anticipated pollutants from the site. More often than not, grass-lined swales should be utilized to filter storm water before entering inlets. Fossil-filters alone may not be sufficient to capture all pollutants. c) Offsite and downstream siltation would not be permitted at any time during the project (long term or near term). 2. On the site plan and conceptual grading plan depict the preliminary location of irrigation and fire sprinkler service connections required to serve the project. Revise the legend to include all necessary symbols and call-outs. 3. Revise the conceptual grading plan and the site plan to include minimum 24-foot drive aisles. A 21.5 foot aisle is un acceptable. 4. Coordinate all elements of the project between the site plan and the conceptual grading plan. Missing items will lead to discrepancies in the project design (trash enclosures, water meter construction, etc.). 5. Consider having the site plan contain all the project information versus having a conceptual grading plan and a site plan. This may ease coordination and eliminate having duplicate information between the two drawings. 6. On the conceptual grading plan revise the topographic numbers so they are legible. 7. Revise the conceptual grading plan to identify how the northerly sump area drains. Identify the system that conveys storm water from this area. 8. Revise the site plan and conceptual grading plan to depict the location of the onsite storm drain system to ensure there are no conflicts with the project design. 9. On the site plan and conceptual grading plan clarify the granting of two types of easements. One should be a public waterline easement granted to the Carlsbad Municipal Water District. The other will be a access easement granted to the City of Carlsbad. 10. On the site plan and conceptual grading plan include the proposed driveway slope on the plans. 11. On the site plan and conceptual grading plan identify the paved width of the existing driveway. 12. On the site plan and conceptual grading plan provide vehicular access to the existing sewer access-hole as shown on the returned plan. City crews must be able to maneuver a vactor truck to the access-hole in order to perform maintenance or repairs as needed to this public facility. 13. On the site plan and conceptual grading plan locate and callout the proposed potable water and irrigation water meter close to each other for ease of meter-reader access. 14. On the site plan and conceptual grading plan ensure that all meter boxes are located within the proposed public water easement. This includes meters that are relocated as part of the project. 15. On the site plan, conceptual grading plan, and conceptual landscape plan add callouts to ensure that deep-rooted landscaping will not be installed over the existing public sewer main. 16. On the site plan, conceptual grading plan, and conceptual landscape plan callout the size and type of the existing public sewer main and callout all existing access-holes. 17. On the conceptual grading plan identify the location of the trash enclosure to serve Lotl 18. On the conceptual grading plan, indicate how a truck (per Caltrans 407-E) with a 42- foot turning radius will circulate throughout the site. Depict the inside and outside turning radius of the truck at all critical turns to demonstrate feasibility. 19. On the site plan, conceptual grading plan, and conceptual landscape plan depict the line-of-sight at the driveway entrance looking onto Loker Avenue using Caltrans Standards. 20. On the site plan and conceptual grading plan, depict the double detector check valve assembly of the fire service for the site (per CMWD standards). Ensure the double detector check valve is not located within public water easements, since are the responsibility of the owner. 21. On the site plan and conceptual grading plan, identify all measures required to ensure that post-development run-off does not exceed pre-development run-off. 22. Revise the project hydrology study to comply with the above item. 23. Address redlines as noted on the returned site plan, conceptual grading plan, and conceptual landscape plan. 24. Attached is a redlined check print of the project with Engineering staff comments. Please be advised, this check print must be returned with the revised plans to facilitate continued staff review.
