Works to prepare the dedication documents and legal descriptions for execution and
recording.
Level i Downstream Analysis
A current field reconnaissance was performed and Section 3 of the TIR has been updated.
Geotechnical Report
A current geotechnical report is included in Section 6 of the TIR..
Water Quality
Water quality treatment (Enhanced Basic) is now proposed via Filterra units placed
adjacent to the parking bays and drive aisles. For the exterior drive ramps leading into the
lower level garages, runoff can be piped to remote Filterra units that can be located at a
lower portion of the site so as to allow gravity drainage. Filterra underdrains and overflows
will be connected to the existing storm drain system, where it will then be routed to.

Phase 1 Water Quality
Comment noted. The existing wetpond and bioswale will remain.
Solid Wa.-te
The solid waste building (near Bldgs I and J) has been revised so that it no longer
encroaches into the front yard setback. Calculations for additional recycle and trash
receptacles are now provided on sheet C4. The building will house 3, 2 CY trash dumpsters
and 1, 2 CY recycle dumpster, and may also include separated glass or aluminum
recepticals. The exterior pad located west of the Memory Care building will have 1, 2 CY
trash and 1, 2 CY recycle dumpters. Currently, recycle is non -separated single stream. The
proposed trash and recycle service was based on prorating the existing service by existing
number of units to the new number of units and rounding up. Service entrances have been
called out and are within 150 feet of the solid waste storage areas. To our knowledge, the
solid waste and recycle enclosures comply with FWRC 19.25.150).
Dispersion
The sheet flow dispersion areas on the internal drive loop and parking bays has been deleted
in lieu of providing Filterra devices to achieve Enhanced Basic water quality treatment.
Gravel Filled Trenches for Basic Dispersion are still proposed on the outer periphery of the
project where the flowpath length, slope and vegetation requirements can be met. Two feet
of trench, plus 25 feet of flowpath are required for this BMP. This is achieved within the
property boundary in the locations shown. One trench on the east side of Building F was
removed, because that area is too steep and fell partially within the proposed right of way
dedication area. It should be noted that final BMP selection and design will occur with the
building permit stage.

Water and sewer availability certificates were issued by Lakehaven and included with the
application. The remaining comments appear to be conditions that will apply at time of
building permit (service connection permits, PRV/BPA/DCVA requirements, etc.).
