Meeting adjourned at 10.30 P.M. — CLE 3 /2lr/ c � DATE MEMORANDUM TOWN OF MANSFIELD, MASSACHUSETTS 50 West Street, Mansfield, MA 02048 TO: Richard J. Callinan, Planning Director FROM: Joseph J. Campo, Town Engineer — DATE: Feb. 4, 1987 RE: Van Gemert Subdivision At your request, the Engineering Department has reviewed the Defin- itive Subdivision off Mill Street entitled "Van Gemert" and has noted the following: 1. Due to the grade of the road, drop inlets are necessary in the sag area to insure sufficient drainage. 2. The plans do not comply with the subdivision regulation regarding vertical curves as described in Section IV A 4 C. 3. The sensitivity of the area due to the proximity of torn land and possible water supply requires a redesign of the drainage system to incorporate leaching basins and leaching n trenches downstream of the oil /water separator. Upstream of the oil /water separator should be constructer to Class III o -ring gasket R.C. pipe with precast manholes and catch basins to prevent any infiltration of contaminates into the surrounding aquifer. 4. A change of location of the cul de sac to a more northerly direction would eliminate a majority of the proposed cut. 5. The oil /water separator does not follow the recommended construction standards showing manholes both upstream and downstream of the oil /water separator with a 6" PVC bypass. 6. The sidewalk and handicap ramps are not shown on the plan. 7. The triple arranagement of gate valves in the area of Mill Street and Van Gemert Drive is not shown on the plan. 8. The water main blow off detail is not shown on the plan.
