Include a note on all "SIGNING AND STRIPING PLAN" sheets to state "City of Denton specifications shall take precedence where conflicts between plans and attached City of Denton specifications occur. 17. On all Signage and Striping plans, please provide additional information as to what type of existing signs are proposed to be removed/relocated. Sheet C-664 (SHADY SHORES ROAD INTERSECTION LAYOUT): 1. The Old US Hwy 77 right turn lane onto Shady Shores Road does not appear to facilitate a truck turn radius. Sheet C-671(COLORADO/MAYHILL INTERSECTION LAYOUT): 1. Adjust the southern bike path ramp to align with the northern bike path ramp. 2. Provide recordation information for the existing easement where the bike path encroaches private property. Sheet C-674 (BRINKER ROAD INTERSECTION LAYOUT): 1. The applicant is required to discuss with the City with regard to discontinuity of the bike path at Brinker Road along with the alignment of the future bike -path crossing of Brinker Road. Sheet C-691(ROAD AND RAILROAD PAVING DETAILS): 1. Label the hole for the pad lock on the bollard details. Sheet C-754A (COLORADO BLVD SIGNING AND STRIPING PLAN): 1. Revise title of the plan to state "Signs and striping plan for proposed signal when installed" 2. Remove all left turn pavement markings. 3. Move the right turn pavement marking to where the taper lane and the storage lane meet. 4. The 113-511 sign requires a "Right Lane" plaquard. Sheet C-755A (BRINKER ROAD SIGNING AND STRIPING PLAN): 1. Revise title of the plan to state "Signs and striping plan for proposed signal when installed" 2. Remove all left turn pavement markings. 3. Move the right turn pavement marking to where the taper lane and the storage lane meet. Easements• The following easements need to be acquired prior to construction. Provide necessary recorded documentation to the City prior to construction. Slope Easements: 1. Lakeview Blvd: West and East side of roadway, on north side of DCTA ROW 2. Pockrus Page Road: North side of roadway, on east side of DCTA ROW 3. Colorado/Mayhill: North and south side of roadway, on west side of DCTA ROW Temporary Construction Easements: 1. Shady Shores Rd: North and south side of roadway, on east side of DCTA ROW 2. Pockrus Page Road: South side of roadway, on east side of DCTA ROW 3. Brinker Road: Both sides of roadways, on both sides of DCTA ROW Grading Easements: 1. The bridges did not show both sides of the DCTA ROW to verify if additional easements are needed. Drainaee Comments: General: 1. Type II rainfall distribution shall be used for all hydrologic models. 2. Provide input and output printouts of all HEC-RAS models. 3. Provide summary input and output of all hydrologic modeling. 4. 100-year water surface elevations for the bridges as printed on the construction plans should match cross section at the upstream face of the bridge. 5. Provide Floodway models for Revised Existing (Pre -Project) and Post -Project conditions for PEC- 4. 6. Additional comments may be issued upon receipt and review of requested data and models. 7. Provide runoff and storm pipe calculations for all culvert profiles. 8. There are multiple culverts that are not profiled and utility crossings are not shown on storm drain profiles along street intersections. 9. There appears that there are existing culverts that cross the existing rail that are not shown on plan and not addressed. 10. There is general concern over numerous flat longitudinal slopes for both proposed earthen and concrete swales along the DCTA ROW. Stream PEC-1 1. See general comments. 2. 100-year velocities increased upstream of proposed bridges at cross section 16475 from existing conditions of 2.16 ft/s to an erosive velocity for proposed conditions of 8.93 ft/s. Issue of erosive velocities shall be addressed. 3. 100-year WSEL's increased in proposed model versus existing model for cross sections 16300 and 16347 downstream of the proposed bridges. City of Denton subdivision regulations does not allow any increases in 100-year WSEL's. Stream PEC-S 1. See general comments 2. Proposed Floodplain boundary is wider than effective floodplain boundary immediately downstream of the bridge due to the bridge widening. 3. 100-year water surface elevation (WSEL) at the upstream face of the railroad bridge is 689.25 under proposed conditions which is less than 12 inches from the low chord elevation of 689.08 and does not meet City of Denton clearance requirements between 100-year WSEL and Low Chord. 4. 100-year velocities increased downstream of proposed bridges at cross section 9121 from existing conditions to an erosive velocity for proposed conditions of 8.80 ft/s. Issue of erosive velocities shall be addressed.
