Thanks Will,

I did get a chance to take a quick look.  I just have a couple of questions/comments that we would like to see addressed.

1)      The survey plan looks to show design information from the water main renewal on Newbury Street that occurred this year.  Would it be possible to show as‑built information?  The only critical pieces are the two service lines entering the new site and the new hydrant.  The survey plan shows the hydrant as being located on the south side of Newbury Street, when in reality it was installed on the north side.  Without that exact locational information, I can’t tell if there will be a conflict between the new 4‑inch underdrain and the hydrant.  The service locations appear correct, but it would be helpful to know exactly where they enter the site to see if there are conflicts.I'll check but I think we did use as built data...except for the hydrat, we'll fix that.

2)      Unrelated to the storm drain design but relevant to water service is the proposed location of the mechanical room on the plan.  The services look to enter the building at the basement of Unit 2.  Yet the mechanical room is located on the other side of the lot.  Are there plans yet of how the internal piping will work?  PWD does not typically allow a meter location that far away from the building entrance, as it would be very easy to tap before the meter.  Just curious if that has been worked out with the development team.  We don't have a mechanical engineer on board yet, so we'll have to adress this when we do. We will at that time coordinate the meter location.

Other than these comments, we don’t see any issues with the proposed storm drain design.  We really do appreciate getting the opportunity to take a look at the plans as part of the City’s review process and want to thank both you and David for sending them along.

Best of luck on your project.Thank you...Nell, is this sufficient to remove one of the conditions of approval ???

Sincerely,
Rico Spugnardi

Hi Rico, we had sent plans over for your review9regarding its proximity to your water main), and the Planning Department is asking us for either your approval ‑ or if you want us to make any changes…any chance you can have a look soon ?
