Please see below: <br />• From Traffic/Fire (Contact Jim Venturo (Fire) at 425-257-8124 or JVenturo@everettwa.gov; contact Michael <br />Brick (Traffic) at 425-257-7790 or MBrick@everettwa.gov) <br />o Some form of removable bollards to preclude vehicular access is desired at the following three locations <br />P6-t-3q fD ■ Approximately station 37+00 (Trail F at 81h Street, near label L14 on page L1.0) <br />■ Approximately station 10+00 (near label L1 on page L1.0) <br />■ Approximately station 12+50 (at trail D/J split, near label C2 on page L1.0) <br />• From Stormwater/Parks (Contact Erik Emerson (stormwater) at 425-257-8995 or EEmerson@everettwa.gov) <br />o The project proposes to match the trail surface to the existing topography, which is ok, but this results in <br />potentially concentrating runoff at certain points along the trail. No collection system or conveyance are <br />currently proposed with the intent that any runoff which may occur will simply run over the trail. This <br />presents a number of problems, including: <br />■ The area behind the trail may end up becoming wetland causing future permitting issues if trail <br />widening or other improvements are proposed. <br />/�- ■ The drainage across the trail may cause the surface to be damp for extended periods of time <br />and could lead to moss growth. <br />■ Similarly, ice could be a problem in the winter. <br />■ As such, some measure to address these low points needs to be provided. A culvert pipe or <br />French drain system is much preferred. If other project requirements prohibit the use of a <br />culvert the low points along the trail should be paved with concrete with a coarse brushed finish <br />through the area where runoff may cross the path. <br />o Sheet 2.7 indicates that the trail slope will be at 0.0% slope. Will the ditches on either side have <br />sufficient positive drainage to drain? Especially of concern is the west side which drains to a cross -trail, <br />but the ditches on both sides need to have sufficient slope to drain. <br />o Although it's not a stormwater comment Parks expressed concern about the large trees proposed in <br />close proximity to the trail. Over time the tree roots are likely to damage the trail paving. If the large <br />tress need to be a part of the landscaping concept, then root barrier should be provided at the edge of <br />the trail. <br />Please let us know if you have any questions. We will make your project a priority upon <br />CELEBRATING resubmittal for quick turn -around and permit issuance when approved. Please submit 4 sets of <br />125 revised plans when ready. <br />YEARS <br />A story worth telling Thanks <br />Sabrina Fandler, P.E. <br />Associate Engineer I Permit Services <br />425.257.7813 13200 Cedar Street, 2nd Floor, Everett, WA 98201 <br />Hours: Monday — Friday 7:30am-12:OOpm and 1:OOpm-4:OOpm <br />everettwa.gov/permits I Facebook I Twitter <br />
