Process II Master Land Use application for the proposed Jump Start Espresso at the above-

The italicized text is a specific comment with regard to the submitted response letter:
1)No updated Technical Information Report (TIR) was submitted with the packet. Please
provide a copy when it becomes available.
2)The current plan set is on the wrong vertical datum. A check of the site survey indicates
the datum used is NAVD 88 we cannot grant land use until the datum, all contours and
call outs, are changed to NGVD 29. No math correction will be accepted.
3)Provide a truck turning diagram using a Vactor truck as the model from the driveway
onto the storm pond access road.

4)No details have been provided on the stormwater wetland. Please provide an updated
Technical Information Report (TIR) in order to evaluate the stormwater wetland.
5)Bioretention is no longer proposed. The Architectural Site Plan submitted with the Use
Process application still shows bioretention on the plan south of the trash enclosure and
the Landscape Plan shows a bioswale in the same location; both should be removed from
the plans and updated accordingly.
6)As of August 16, 2021, a right-of-way modification waiver request has not been
submitted; therefore, all traffic comments still apply including the requirement to
improve the driveway from SW 320th Street.
7)Pond Section A does not include the control structure. Revise drawing to depict control
structure.
8)The pond sections indicate vertical wall approximately six-feet in height but no fencing.
Please explain why.
9)Provide proposed elevation of the top of the pond berms at inlet and outlet ends.
