[General Comment] Prior to final site plan approval, a WPO plan must be submitted, reviewed, and approved by the Engineering Division. Please see Engineering comments below for additional information. Rev. 1: Comment not fully addressed, please see Engineering comments for further details. 30. [General Comment] It appears that the major amendment will utilize some of the approved sheets from SDP201600076. Please provide a list of the approved final site plan sheets on the Cover Sheet, and cross out which sheets will not be amended with this major amendment. This is critical for items such as the construction details, as well as certain sheets necessary for Engineering review (sight distance profiles and traffic management plan). a. [30.7.4 (b)] Provide a narrative of the disturbances to areas of Preserved Steep Slopes on the Cover Sheet. There are some areas of Preserved Slopes adjacent to Moores Creek Lane that will be disturbed to allow installation of utility lines. See the project narrative on Sheet SP 1 of the approved final site plan for an example of how this information should be conveyed (where Preserved Steep Slopes will be disturbed, and Zoning Ordinance section that allows the disturbance by -right). b. Please reference the approved final site plan in Note 1 on Sheet C-100 (SDP201600076). 31. [30.7] The revised major site plan amendment layout proposes to disturb areas of Preserved Steep Slopes behind buildings 2, 3, and 4. There is a zoning map amendment application under review (ZMA201800017) to rezone those Preserved Steep Slopes to Managed Steep Slopes in order to allow disturbance of these areas as currently shown. The major site plan amendment cannot be approved until the ZMA is approved and these slopes have been re -designated as Managed Steep Slopes. Should the ZMA be disapproved by the Board of Supervisors, the project will need to be re -designed so that those northern Preserved Steep Slopes remain undisturbed. 32. [General Comment] Please move the crosswalk in the travel way between buildings 4 and 5 so that it connects to where the sidewalks terminate. Please contact Cameron Langille at the Department of Community Development at blan ig lle(c-r�,albemarle.org or 296- 5832 ext. 3432 for further information.

PROJECT: SDP201800065 Woolen Mills Light Industrial Park — Major Site Plan Amendment Engineering comments (David James): 1. Submit a VSMP plan & application. Not addressed — VSMP plan approval required prior to FSP approval. 2. WPO plan approval required prior to site plan approval. Not addressed. 3. Cover: The SDP# is SDP201800065. Addressed. 4. Existing Conditions sheet: Show all existing easements with deed references (i.e. forest/open space, public drainage, etc.). Review plat... 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. Addressed, building permit required. If the drainage easement is intended to be public and meets the criteria, than provide a cut-off sleeve for the pipe through retaining wall D. 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.). Addressed, building permit required. If the drainage easement is intended to be public and meets the criteria, than provide a cut-off sleeve for the pipe through retaining wall D. 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.). Show exactly where the guardrail is being placed. 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. Show safety railing for 3.5' wall. 10. Include ALL notes on previously approved FSP making corrections to them where not accurate. Addressed. 11. Water runoff going over 24' max height wall may erode soils behind wall and cause scour issues. Addressed. 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, thru, or backwater in dumpster areas. 118-4.12.191 Addressed. 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. Monkey grass alone is not an approvable; See VADEQ ESC HB, Spec. 3.32 & 3.37 for what's recommended. A mix of shrubs, non -turf grasses, and other vegetation would be best. Low maintenance is the key. Whatever is planted should have a mix of quick germination and slower growing ground cover to get the best results. 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} Addressed. 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. Acknowledged. 16. Provide anchor at joints where pipes are over 16% slope. Addressed. 17. Provide drainage area map, drainage summary table, drainage calculations and ditch cross - sections. Acknowledged — to be addressed on VSMP plan. 18. Show sight distance profiles.

The pavements section has changed from approved FSP, and I don't think this should be allowed, provide justification. Addressed. 22. Private road standards must be met [DSM] and where standards not specified in ordinance road shall meet VDOT standards. Addressed. 23. Provide concrete inlet shaping (IS-1) specified on any structure with a 4' or greater drop. 24. Provide safety slabs (SL-1) in any structure taller than 12'. 25.
