- 14. All utilities shall be identified either by called out or in a legend on the Land Development Permit plans.
- 15. Indicate all abandoned driveways and ADA ramps shall be closed with streetscape that is to match the streetscape along that street whether it is curb and gutter, grass strip, trail or sidewalk. These items shall be indicated on the Land Development Permit plans.

Plan Review Comments
Planning And Zoning, Angela Rambeau App W/Cond - 09/12/2025
Reviewer: Angela Rambeau, Planner III, 6413, arambeau@roswellgov.com. These comments will be met by the language in the conditions of approval. Show dimensions of easements. Some parts of utility lines are not included in the dotted areas. Label centerline of existing and proposed pavement. Note provision for sewage disposal. Provide stormwater table indicating the existing or proposed impervious area square footage for each lot. Minimum primary street frontage/minimum lot width should be TBD by MCC. Show intersection pavement and ROW radius, all centerline curve date and tangent data.
Engineering Division, Lee Smith App W/Cond - 09/11/2025
Reviewer: Lee Smith, 6889, lsmith@roswellgov.com
These comments will be met by the language in the conditions of approval.

3) Sheet 4 � The revised sheet appears to show proposed meter vaults and backflow preventers that are not connected to the water distribution system. In the plat provided for recordation, be sure to show only existing features on the existing conditions sheet.
These comments will be met by the language in the conditions of approval. The fees for the removal of the specimen trees will be paid at the time of the LDP process - prior to issuance of the LDP.

Geographic Information Systems, Nancy Velez Approved - 09/12/2025
These comments will be met by the language in the conditions of approval.
I have reviewed the preliminary plat dated 9/11/2025, and it complies with street addressing and naming conventions. I am recommending approval from a GIS perspective.
Sanitation, Nick Pezzello App W/Cond - 09/15/2025
Solid Waste - These comments will be met by the language in the conditions of approval. All garbage collection remains private. Nick Pezzello - 6512
Water, Chris Boyd App W/Cond - 09/12/2025
These comments will be met by the language in the conditions of approval.
two vaults for, sitting side by side, between townhome lots 8 and 12 appear to be a fire line meter vault and backflow vault for the townhomes, correct? Unsure why these are set side by side. Typically the backflow vault is located just past the meter vault.
A utility easement will need to be shown for the meter vault from the back of right of way all around the vault.
Need to show location of existing 8"" water line that runs along Ellis Street.
Need to show 8"" water line from its connection on Oak street up Community Circle. You show the sewer line, but not the existing water line.
For the Multi-family building, you show two meter vaults, one off of Community Circle and the other off of Hillrose Circle. The second vault, off of Hillrose Circle, appears to be tied to the service line feeding out of the meter vault off of Community Circle. This would cause double billing. Also, I do not see the backflow vaults past the meter vaults. Will the 8"" line shown in this area be public or private.
If 8"" line on Community Circle is to remain part of the public water system, then a meter and backflow will need to be set for the 2"" line feeding the parking deck.
For the meter vault located at the corner of Hill Street and Ellis Street, how will it connect to the public water system? Will it connect to Hill Street's 8"" line or Ellis Street's 8"" line. Need to show how this connects.
Need to show location of all valves where the the vaults connect to the public water system. Need to add a valve and plug to the end of the 12"" line for the future connection point.
