1. Title of Plan is Royal Fern Townhomes, yet Site Plan Overview, C3, shows 16 detached residences. Defer
to Planning on whether elements of preliminary subdivision (16 lots) may be mixed with a Final Site Plan,
but submitted plan appears to mix subdivision with site plan elements. Plan title does not fit overview.
Recommend revise title.
2. If this Final Site Plan does not provide details for 16-lot (detached) single-family portion of development,
remove this portion of development from Townhomes site plan.
3. Provide demolition plan that bridges existing -to -proposed development condition.
a. Label features to be demolished
b. Provide pavement mill/joint details; provide pavement and drainage typical details.
4. Provide relevant civil details for: inlets, MHs, bedding, inlet shaping, roads, alleys, entrances, walks, ramps.
5. Engineering restates initial site plan comment: "Private streets should follow VDOT and AASHTO
regulations, such as a minimum angle of intersection of 60 degrees. The smaller curb radii shown will need
to be verified to be adequate by showing vehicle turning movements and will also need to be approved by
Fire Rescue." Provide vehicle turning movements (Auto -turn figures for Fire -Rescue vehicles).
6. Review and apply Engineering site plan review checklist to design prior to resubmitting.
C2
7. Label all managed slopes.
8. Eliminate angled pipe connection at Str. U.
(ref. Engineering drainage plan review checklist)
9. Label apparent wetland or aquatic features.
10. Show entire limits of proposed new storm conveyance system, to ultimate discharge. Provide drainage
easements, as needed.
11. Label Wahoo Way public or private. Label R/W width. Label speed limit of this road.
C3
12. Provide TMP labels for parcels proposed to be developed; provide ownership data: Name of property
owner, and book -page ref. (Comment applies to C4, as well.)

13. Provide TMP labels for adjacent parcels; provide ownership data; provide ownership data: Name of
property owner, and book -page ref. (Comment applies to C4, as well.)
14. If 36' wide public road (Road A) is proposed with this FSP, provide roadway profile.
15. Provide Road Plan. An approved Road Plan must be built or bonded prior to final site plan approval.
16. Revise Road B and Alley C designs:
a. Revise angle of intersection to approach right angles. Additional comments reserved for road plan.
b. Intersection approach/exit width:
i. Revise Alley C width to 20-ft; remove one-way designation as 2-way options exist that
likely serve an equal number of townhomes.
c. Provide adequate horizontal separation between driveway apron entrances and alley/road
intersections for Lots: T16, T22, T25, T26, T31. Eliminate 0', 1', 5' horizontal separation.
Increase (listed) lot driveway entrance horizontal clearance to travelway intersection radii returns.
Inadequate sight distance impairs movement out of each driveway; it requires blind maneuvers.
17. Revise private alley labels, to read `alley' (there are no public alleys).
18. Road B design is illogical. Wahoo Way should be extended to Road A, with consistent width and cross-
section that matches Ex. Wahoo Way.
19. Road B at point it turns off Wahoo Way to serve townhome units, should be re -labeled; for example, Road
C.
20. Recommend increase offset distance, corner of T31 to edge of sidewalk.
C4
21. Provide typical labels (partial list):
a. Street name signs
b. Traffic control signs
c. Curb type (CG-2, GC-6, CG-12, etc.)
22. Label walkway width. Provide minimum 5' width.
23. Provide true graphic representation of CG-12, matching VDOT standard for GC-12 for radial curb.
24. Provide CG-12 on east side of north end of Alley C.
25. Ensure sidewalk grade does not exceed 5% grade.
26. Provide turnarounds at every proposed dead end; or, preferably, eliminate dead ends.
27. Revise CG-12 ramps at Road B-Alley A intersection to align perpendicularly.
28. If multiple curb types proposed, show and label curb -curb transitions.
C5
29. Label roads and alleys.
30. Show and label existing right-of-way, 5s' Street.
31. Show and label existing easement or right-of-way, Wahoo Way.
32. Show sight lines. Provide sight distance easements where sight lines extend onto lots (Int. Road B-Road B).
33. Center easements on travelways; for example, 30' access easement for private road B does not provide a
30' functional width.
34. Although internal network road design will be revised to meet to VDOT and ACDSM standards, alley
easements cannot be clearly traced. Ensure easements are clearly defined, and cover all travelways.
C6
35. Ensure sidewalk grades are ADA-compliant.
C7
36. Label TMPs.
37. WPO Plan has been submitted (WPO201800084); revise FSP consistent with WPO plan review comments.
38. Label proposed underground detention feature.
39. Eliminate grate only inlet type in paved areas; provide VDOT standard drop inlets.
40. Provide drainage calculations on the FSP.

CIO
42. Provide profiles for all roads.
43. Provide UDs at cut/fill transitions.
44. Reference Road Plan review checklist.
