use was a fire hazard. He raised concerns regarding the movement of trucks to the back entrance of the building, an access which has always been a limited entrance.

- A detail for the proposed retaining wall at the southeastern corner of the property shall be provided on the plans.
- Catch basins protection shall be depicted at the entrance on Blaisdell Road.
- The datum for the contours shall be given on the plans ..
- Drainage Review Recommendation: The application has provided sufficient information to demonstrate that the existing stormwater management basin can be modified against increase to peak stormwater runoff rates as a result of the project. Brooker Engineering, therefore recommends that the Celtic Site Plan be approved for drainage subject to the following comments.
This is the first drainage review report for this project. The project consists of the expansion of the site at One Corporate Drive. A 55,692 square feet building addition (approximately 233′ x 239′) is proposed along the south side of the existing building. A loop road is proposed along the south and west side of the new building to connect the existing parking areas. The area is currently contains mostly grass cover, with some pavement just south of the building and wooded area along the southern property line.
Stormwater runoff flows to the east towards the existing detention pond along Blaisdell Road and north towards Corporate Drive. The drainage report includes these two points of interest in the calculations for potential impacts. The drainage calculations also conservatively utilize the 24 ..hour rainfall totals in place at the time of the original approval for existing conditions and current 24-hour rainfall totals in place today for proposed conditions. This is a conservative approach in that the existing conditions peak flow rates are lower than what would be calculated by today’s standards, and the routing calculations demonstrate the facility can mitigate to the lower standard.

Project Comments
The Drainage Consultant had the following drainage comments for the Planning
Board:
- Revise the proposed contours along the new driveway south of the building addition; it appears there may be a low point at proposed contour elevation 86 or some contour intervals are missing.
- Show if the building addition is slab on grade or if it has a basement. If
there is a basement, include details for a foundation drain.
- Verify the delineation of the west subarea used in the drainage report. The area lower in elevation than existing catch basin with a top of catch basin curb piece elevation of 86.03 bypasses the detention basin and should not be included in the subarea that gets routed through the basin.
- Verify if off-site runoff from the west flows east onto the site and enters the
detention system; if so, the drainage calculations should be updated to reflect this.
- Verify the subarea used for the “North” hydrologic subarea. The delineation shows two catch basins along Corporate Drive as intercepting runoff and conveying the runoff to the north underground detention system. One of these catch basins is the overflow catch basin from the west detention system and bypasses the north detention· system.
- Clarify the subbasins used in the hydrologic models shown on Figures 4 and 5 of the drainage report and add the Points of Interest to these Figures.
- The Point of Interest from the “East” subarea (the subarea with the detention pond that discharges directly to Blaisdell Road) has a slight increase in 100-year peak flows. This discharges to an existing storm drain pipe in Blaisdell Road. Show that the existing pipe has capacity for
the proposed flow, including off-site runoff contributions. Alternately, revise the outlet configuration to demonstrate that no increases in 100-year flows will occur at this point of interest.
- Provide details for the three outlet structures. Provide details for the new
48″ detention pipes for the west and north Points of Interest.
- Details for the proposed wall along the southern property line shall be provided to demonstrate the wall does not encroach into the existing drainage and sanitary sewer easement. ·
