OMEGA <br />ENGINEERING, INC. <br />May 28. 2013 <br />City of Everett <br />3200 Cedar Street <br />Everett. WA 98201 <br />2829 Rockefeller Avenue - <br />Everett, WA 98201 <br />t 425.387.3820 <br />f 425.259.1958 <br />RE: Drainage Letter for Salz SFR - Revision to Thompson SP Drainage Plan. <br />Dear Staff <br />This letter is intended to provide the City with the minor changes to the drainage plan for Lot 3 <br />approved with the Thompson SP 11.001. The original SP design was also prepared by Omega <br />Engineering, Inc so we are basing the proposed revision to address the changes to the <br />drainage plan based on the proposed building permit application <br />This drainage plan for the Thompson SP proposed a future building area of approximately 3,200 <br />sf on Lot 3 along with some PGIS to be dispersed using a level spreader trench along the west <br />side of the future GI-R. Per section 8 of the approved drainage report for the Thompson SP <br />project the total impervi� is area directed to the leve spreader would be 3,67P sf and the design <br />trench length of 53-feet was shown on the plans However, the building area for the Salz <br />building permit application is larger then the 3,200 sf originally assumed so the length of the <br />level spread must be adjusted to address the charge. <br />Per Section 8 of the approved plans the length of the trench was sized based on a ratio of 700 <br />sf of building/pavement per 10-feet of trench The proposed roof area and driveway pad area in <br />front of the garage for the Salz SFR will be 4,785 sf which is an increase of 1.100 sf over the <br />original assumption Therefore the trench length required to mitigate the improvements for the <br />Salz SFR will be 63-feet. This assumes the majority of the driveway will remain pervious except <br />for the final 20-feet in front of the garage <br />Under the Thompson SP the viability of the level spreader located west of the SFR above the <br />steep slopes was evaluated by the project geotech and found to be safe assuming the <br />vegetation on the slope was retained and the other recommendations of the geotechnical report <br />were followed. The proposed drainage revision for the Salz SFR only proposes to modify the <br />length of the trench and no other factors so the remainder of the geotechnical recommendations <br />will be met. <br />Finally, in reviewing the drainage report for the Thompson SP the original project with the <br />reduced impervious area on Lot 3 was found to increase the peak runoff rates from this project <br />by 0.02 cfs Therefore, it is reasonable to assume that by increasing the impervious area on Lot <br />3 that the increase in the prcject peak runoff rate will remain less than 0.1 cfs and this change <br />will not affect the conditions for the original SP construction approval. <br />All other aspects of the original constriction plans and requirements for erosion control and soil <br />amendments should still be met during the construction of the building improvements on Lot 3. <br />Any questions or concerns regarding the soil conditions during construction or at the time of <br />final stabilization should be directed to this office or the project Geotech as appropriate.
