Ms. Karen Isherwood from Design Professionals came before the Commission to review the final erosion control plan for the approved senior housing development as per approval conditions. Ms. Isherwood explained that the following are changes made to the plans:
Eleven temporary sedimentation basins have been incorporated onto the plan, which will take the place of the eleven catch basins along the roadway. Each basin to be sized in order to provide a minimum of 134 cubic yard for storage volume/acre of drainage.
The temporary topsoil stockpiles around the Community Center have been removed. The material will be used to erect temporary earthen berms to intercept runoff during construction.
Details have been provided on the plan for the siltation basin outlet within the detention basin.
Details for the temporary sedimentation basins that will be used during construction have also been added to the plans.
