D. ENGINEERING COMMENTS:
PUBLIC WORKS:
Currently lots 5,-6, 7, & 8 appear to be located in the
regulatory floodway and construction is prohibited.
However, if floodway is relocated by ditch improvements,
provide construction plan and data which shows the new
regulatory floodway boundaries in relationship to the
aforementioned four lots. This will need to be submitted to
Corps of Engineers and to FEMA for approval prior to
construction on the lots. Provide plan for showing proposed
improvements to existing drainage ditch, minimum floor
elevations equivalent to 254 NGVD for each lot should be
furnished on the plan. A sketch grading and drainage plan,
a special flood hazard permit, and a special grading permit
for flood hazard areas is required. Arkansas Department of
Pollution Control and Ecology (ADPCE) and NPDES permit
should have been issued for this work. No waiver has been
granted for half street improvements on North Street.
1.V11Dl.LLLC:l.1U11 v= improvements on North Street should provide
half of 36 foot wide commercial street with sidewalk.
Temporary access to North Street is acceptable in its
current condition. However, construction traffic should not
be permitted on North Street, access should be taken from
Cantrell due to the non-commercial nature of this street and
its current condition. Complete the signal installation as
requested with this development for Traffic Engineering
approval. The four foot sidewalk that was approved on
Cantrell Road needs to be upgraded to a five foot sidewalk
or passing zones need to be installed at 200 foot maximum
centers per current ADA standards. Stormwater detention
ordinances apply to these projects, recommend a plan for the
complete project. 1992 ADT for Cantrell was 23.050_
