Lonesome Pine Regional Business & Technology Park


EARTHWORK

The average grade across the Park property is between 2% and 5%, except in isolated areas. This will keep rough grading of the property to a minimum. Rough grading in isolated areas will give the Park a gentle rolling topography that will drain well and allow for future development with minimal final grading costs. The existing deep drainage swale at the Town Center and parcels 6 and 7 will be backfilled to allow for future building construction in that area. The resulting swale will allow for proper drainage of the areas until a storm drain system is constructed during future development. Potential borrow areas are located on parcels 2, 14 and 16. The north/south boulevard (State Route 723) on the south side of the site should be lowered when road improvements are made so the road and surrounding parcels will blend well together. The ponds in the recreation areas will be graded to accommodate erosion and sediment control and stormwater management facilities.

Areas where boulevards and service roads are located will require some means of site preparation such as deep dynamic compaction or undercut/backfill or a combination thereof. During future development, roads, parking areas and building locations will also require site preparation. The geotechnical overview herein provides a more in-depth explanation of site preparation requirements.
