PROJECT: SDP201800065 Woolen Mills Light Industrial Park — Major Site Plan Amendment
Engineering comments (David James):
1. Submit a VSMP plan & application.
2. WPO plan approval required prior to site plan approval.
3. Cover: The SDP# is SDP201800065.
4. Existing Conditions sheet: Show all existing easements with deed references (i.e. forest/open
space, public drainage, etc.).
5. Provide engineered plans and computations for the retaining wall design for all the walls that
are next to parking or travelways. Specify all structural components and dimensions of wall.
The following items will be required [DSM]:
a. A typical detail. (VDOT standard walls are acceptable)
b. Specific details as required for unusual or possibly conflicting areas. An example is
where utilities are expected to go through walls or footings (Show accurate wall
features/dimensions where they cross on the profiles).
c. Certified computations to support the design (for wall over 4' high). All soil and bearing
assumptions, as well as reinforcement materials and assumed loadings must be
included.
6. Wall design should include at a minimum:
a. Typical sections for all configurations.
b. Details for any pipes, utilities, structures through geogrid.
c. Structural computations with original seal.
d. Accurate surcharges and loading assumed.
e. Materials & dimensions match plans.
f. Appropriate safety factors used.
g. Safety provision(s) for vehicles and pedestrians for walls over 30" high (Typ. guardrail,
wall, or fencing).
h. Show accurate depiction of horizontal depth (batter) on site plans.
i. Structural reinforcement layout shown and dimensioned (steel, geogrids, etc.).
7. Provide & show guardrail over any slope steeper than 3:1, wall, or drop-off greater than 4', with
start and end sections labeled, and with VDOT designations (GR-2, GR-2a, etc.).
8. Sheet 4 — Show grading elevations on proposed contours adjacent to proposed walls.
9. Add notes:
a. All walls over 30" height to have safety provisions in place.
b. All wall construction will not impact the preserved slopes.
10. Include ALL notes on previously approved FSP making corrections to them where not accurate.
11. Water runoff going over 24' max height wall may erode soils behind wall and cause scour issues.
12. Water runoff coming down 2:1 slope may likely concentrate and channelize eroding slope.
Concentrated water at bottom may cause localized flooding issues if Str. 5A becomes clogged.
Drainage should not run across, through, or backwater in dumpster areas. {18-4.12.19)
13. For grass stabilization on constructed slopes, the maximum steepness is 3:1. Slopes steeper than
3:1 must be permanently stabilized with landscaping vegetation hardier than grass, which will
not require mowing.
14. Show bumper block detail. Show bumper blocks for parking spaces that are adjacent to 5' wide
sidewalks. Alternatively, increase sidewalk width to 6'. 118-4.12.16. e}
15. Show future drainage connection upstream of Str. 5A & 7 showing proposed public easement.
What's shown is not acceptable. Drainage must be coming through site to those structures in
order to cut through preserved slope areas. Alternatively, provide detention onsite and drainage
easement will not cross through preserved slope and will be private.
16. Provide anchor at joints where pipes are over 16% slope.
17. Provide drainage area map, drainage summary table, drainage calculations and ditch cross -
sections.
18. Show sight distance profiles.
19. Provide Maintenance of Traffic plan.
20. Sidewalk location and widths, minimum 5' width, 4" concrete surface with wire/rebar
reinforcement, 4" 21-A stone base, with underdrains (UD-4, etc) per VDOT standards where
applicable.
21. The pavements section has changed from approved FSP, and I don't think this should be
allowed, provide justification.
22. Private road standards must be met [DSM] and where standards not specified in ordinance road
shall meet VDOT standards.

RE: Woolen Mills Light Industrial Park
Major Site Plan Amendment
SDP2018- 65
Mr. Langille:
As requested, I've reviewed the Initial Site Plan, dated August 3, 2018, for the
amendment referenced above. Since the amended site plan still indicates the proposed
construction will utilize public water & sewer systems, I have no comments at this time.
Recommendation: Approval
Conditions: None
If there are any questions or you wish to discuss, please give me a call, 434-972-4306.
