Storm Water Management Plan, Sheet C-7 (attached page)
Read a text description of this site plan
Engineering drawing, printed sideways, titled Storm Water Management Plan, Sheet C-7, prepared by Lapham Associates for Dan Willey, 2152 N. Meridian Rd, Sanford, MI 48657. Meridian Road (M-30) runs along one short end of a long, narrow site. Six self-storage buildings are drawn solid in a row, with more outlined lightly as proposed future buildings. Proposed catch basins run along both long sides. A storm water detention basin, shaded blue, fills the far end of the site, with a channel running back along one side to it. Neighboring land on the other sides is labeled Zoned R-2. Also on the sheet: a Pipe Outlet Protection Detail, a Restrictor Detail, a stage storage table, storm water calculations and a graphic scale. Most small text is too small to read.
