many times the amount of water running toward the frontage road or back toward Fulham. The proposal, therefore, calls for how to deal with this increase in storm water run-off. It is anticipated that the entire property will someday develop and, therefore, it's sized for that development. The proposal calls for beginning the work some distance from Fulham and constructing at that point a fairly small sized pipe but big enough to handle the run-off from this extreme easterly portion of the property, increasing the size to a 24 inch, 30 inch, 36 inch pipe, where it would ultimately go into the existing storm drainage pond on the west side of Fulharn Street. To accommodate the larger amount of water that will be generated and coming to this development and coming to this pond, it's proposed that additional area be provided in the pond to accommodate this water and store it. The plan, therefore, calls for almost five acre feet of addi- tional storage being provided. This five acre feet would be quite similar in nature to what it is near the frontage road. In other words, there would be water standing there in a pond or lake-type appearance and this would, we feel, not really be a detriment to the area but rather somewhat of an improvement - fairly open, wild and' undulating as it currently exists there now. There is a ditch that goes all the way up to Terminal Road, connecting to this now ponded area. The facility is proposed to be constructed eight feet from the property line in the extreme eastern portion and come out to approximately eleven feet as it approaches Fulham Street. This will be on what I'm sure the residences in that area con- sider their side of the street. It would be behind the pavement but it would still be in the permanent right-of-way. The sizing of this has been done to take into account things like a con- nection point with the Hoffmann development, some potential connection points on the eastern portion for those areas as they develop in the future. We feel, once again, this lS an improvement that is neces- sary for this development to occur. Again, using the Hoffmann parcel as an example, if it is not possible to do the expansion in the pond or to provide for the piping, then the site plan will have to be cha'nged and they'll have to provide on-site ponding and use up a good share of what is proposed to be green area in the front rather than a pond, or some similar arrange- ment of using the land up in ponds. The same sort of thing will have to occur as the parcels develop to the east; namely, that if something like this isn't done, then they'll have to use up part of that land to build ponds on it. There will be a couple of trees at the extreme end - I'm not sure how they got exactly where they are right now. It looks like a couple of them have been put in with a tree spade. My concern is that it appears that they will probably have to be redug up again and moved back onto private property. They 2
