RE: Davies Farm Preliminary Civil Plans
SEH No. 133785 14.00
Dear Mark
Please see below for my comments on the provided Davies Farm Preliminary Civil Plan, dated
03/02/2026:
My list is fairly short for the Civil Plans review. Some comments parallel Leif Hauge's:
• There is no storm sewer sizing calculations or design information. This is a challenging site with
utilizing curb and gutter on pretty steep slopes. How are they going to get a 100 yr storm into
inlets and storm sewer in Court "A" into the Basin 1B just north of USH 18? All inlets will need to
be analyzed to understand gutter spread and ponding at low points and bypassing on sloped
inlets. The use of vane grates on sloped inlets will likely be needed and called out.
• The intersection of Court A and USH 18 is quite steep and no sag point provided. As shown,
there is likely a considerable amount of drainage that will sheet flow across USH 18. This is a
steep road along a wooded, north facing hillside. While this may be a WDOT permit review item,
this should be worked out with them quickly as it will impact the Court A design. Please provide
any correspondence from the WDOT from any previous reviews to substantiate the current
design and geometry.
• They show a 60 ft tree Preservation Easement on the south lot line of Lot 2 of the future CSM,
and a Conservation Easement on Lot 1, but show a considerable amount of grading within the
easements.
• I would like to see more detail on the Court A-Court A intersection. I would recommend a full
crown be provided for the east-west segment of the cul-de-sac to help prevent sheet flow from
occurring across the intersection.
This is still a preliminary submittal without the detailed storm sewer information, but there is enough here
to help the Plan Commission review. My comments are all items that should be able to be resolved.
Sincerely,
Mark Mickelson, PE
Town Engineer
