(Page 17, #5) Engineering Considerations The Engineering Department has reviewed the above mentioned project. The following is a list of comments and concerns: I. The proposed water service for Lot I is currently located on Lot 2. The applicant should consider relocating the service within Lot I. If the service is to remain in Lot 2, the applicant must secure an easement. 2. The proposed pond is located within Lot 2. An easement will be required over the pond. An easement will also be required over the storm sewer outlet pipe. 3. The site plan and drainage plan do not match. There are discrepancies on the plans with regards to building and driveway locations. Which is the correct plan? 4. The applicant should review his landscape plan. The current plan proposes trees and shrubbery to be planted above proposed utilities. There are also trees proposed to be planted within the pond. The landscaping plan should be reviewed by the City's forester. 5. The City standard is to place sidewalk one foot from the property line. The sidewalk proposed for RoselaWll A venue does not meet this requirement. The applicant should construct the sidewalk to City standards. 6. The proposal calls for two accesses to Lexington Avenue. The traffic study performed by SEH indicates that the northern entrance would be little used. For this reason, the northern entrance should be eliminated. 7. Ultimate plans call for a 99-foot corridor for Lexington Avenue. An additional 16.5 feet of right-of-way will be required as part ofthis plat. The proposed plat currently includes the additional 16.5 feet. 8. For the proposed pond, the side slopes must be 5 to I or less. 8
