Dear Mr. Patillo;
We have reviewed the loading contributed by the electrical condult suspended from the bottom chords
of joists. The joists are capable of sustaining this added load when the loads are properly applied at
panel points. We agree the method of attachement is wanting. Therefore,the subcontractor will change
the hangers to conform to the enclosed sketch.
In addition, plates were added where heavy tanks legs rest on the floor slab. These plates serve to
distribute load and insure no "punching" of the concrete slab will occur.
We appreciate your watchful attention and understandable concern since inappropriate application of
loads could have serious consequences.
Very truly yours,
THE AUSTIN COMPANY

Site Plan - Special Permit Review/Approval Criteria
Section 10. 11 (6)
In conducting the site plan review for this major project, the
Planning board made the following findings:
A. The requested use protects adjoining premises against
seriously detrimental uses through conducting a
manufacturing use within an area zoned for an industrial
park.
Provisions for surface water drainage were provided through
a catch basin drainage system which ties into the City' s
storm water system.
Provisions for sound and sight buffers were provided through
a 6' earthen berm and an 6' sound barrier fence with
additional landscaping.
B. The requested use promotes the convenience and safety of
vehicular and pedestrian movement within the site through
the separation of employee and visitor parking from shipping
and receiving areas, and on adjacent streets through
increasing the turning radius at the entrance and exits onto
local streets and providing traffic studies once the plant
is in full operation.
C. The requested use promotes a harmonious relationship of
structures and existing space to the natural landscape and
existing buildings through construction of an addition to
the rear of the existing building and construction in a
similar style to existing buildings within the industrial
park.
D. The requested use will not overload City resources through
obtaining agreements with the City' s Department of Public
Works for water usage and sanitary sewage collection, and
storm water drainage through provisions of leaching chambers
and three foot sumps within the catch basins, and a settling
basin prior to discharge into the Industrial Park's drainage
system.
