The front parking lot drains directly to McKinley Street and flows along the curbline to a catch basin which is being installed as a part of the construction of McKinley Street. The remainder of the site will drain to a catch basin located approximately 100 feet north of McKinley Street and be conveyed to a ponding area proposed to be constructed jointly with the property to the west being developed by Automated EDM. Additional details need to be provided on this pond including the size and invert of the outlet. The pond should be expanded in storage volume as much as possible.
