2 231046 Preliminary Plat TWM Velma Road Staff Comments August 23, 2023 Community Development Department • No additional comments. Fire Department • Show proposed fire hydrants on the plat. Public Works • Prior to any site design, a hydrologic determination is needed for the property. Specifically, there is a possibility a riverine structure as shown on the overlay image on page two will be identified as a wet weather conveyance which would have to be designed around. Backfill and encapsulation would not be allowed under residential structures if it is designated as a wet weather conveyance. • Topography indicates there may be an additional wet weather conveyance that extends east to Hamby and the same restrictions would apply as mentioned above if it is indeed a wet weather conveyance. • Common Area A3 as shown appears to be discharging stormwater for the entire site to the southwest of the property. The volume, even attenuated, will be directed to two adjacent property owners and could potentially create stormwater issues for those properties especially with a riverine structure present. • What is the purpose of Common Area A2 and who will maintain it? AUB • Change name to Athens Utilities Board. • Show connection to existing sewer line. • Show sewer access to Lots 69 & 70 as there is no main access shown. • Site house seats will need to allow a gravity sewer to enter the pump location no lower than 21” below the final ground elevation with the pump located within the front easement area. • Due to lot line widths, it appears sewer pumps will have to be in front yard. • Proposed electric lines need to be shown. • VEC has a 69kv transmission line running almost horizontally through the property. There is a VEC easement of 37.5’ on either side of this line. • There is a single-phase line on the northern side with a 40’ right-of-way. • If the owners want natural gas service, proposed lines and connections need to be shown. The concept appears to meet the subdivision regulations for patio home development in the R-3 district. However, there are comments above that will need to be addressed by the engineers before we can truly know if layout and design will work. Staff recommends approval of the preliminary plat concept based on all comments above being addressed before final plat is submitted with this layout or any phases of this current layout.
