Jeremy Tweedie Enclosures File #2624U M /cls 0 • Candice Perkins From: Jeremy Tweedie Utweedie @greenwayeng.com] Sent: Tuesday, November 23, 2010 9:31 AM To: Candice Perkins Subject: RE: Busy Beez Candice, Good Morning Thank you for the prompt response...... as you are correct LID is not being utilized for the front parking area due to the design intent, the water is pitching away from the curb sheet flowing north into the grass swale on the opposite side of the travel way , therefore the curb (CG -2) is only needed. If we put CG -6 (curb with standard Gutter) the water will not drain properly, we would have to use a CG -6R design which is a reverse gutter pan, which really serves no purpose. As for the rear parking were are utilizing concrete bumpers(wheel stops) along the perimeter of the asphalt area as shown on the plan view and per the trench detail, this is in lieu of having to put the concrete bumpers (whieel stops) in each parking stall. Further I just want to clarify, If you still require the CG it will have to be a CG -6R and I just want to confirm that you are only asking for it along the perimeter of the front parking, meaning in front on the building we can still utilize CG -2 correct? Please do not hesitate to give me a call should you have any questions. Thank you for your assistance. Jeremy From: Candice Perkins [ mailto :cperkins @co.frederick.va.us] Sent: Tuesday, November 23, 2010 8:22 AM To: Jeremy Tweedie Subject: Busy Beez Jeremy, In response to your voicemail, the curb and gutter requirement along the front parking area cannot be waived. LID is not being utilized in this area and it is inside of the SWSA, therefore a waiver is not possible (CG -6 is required). I spoke with Mark and he only recalls talking about the rear portion of the parking area. Waiving the curb and gutter in the rear is possible due to the infiltration trench being utilized — please note that wheelstops need to be installed along the parking spaces. I should complete my review of the revised plan today and will let you know if I have anymore comments.
