Scott,
We have reviewed the plans and have the following comments:
Engineering
1. The North Pointe Rt. 29 Improvements Road Plans (SUB201600196) will need to be approved
before these plans are approved.
2. Change the title from the SDP number to SUB2017-112. (Rev. 2) Comment addressed.
3. The grades shown on Aldrich Lane and Girard Way are steeper than the max 10%. [14-41213,
DSM] (Rev. 2) Comment addressed.
4. The proposed guard rail mentioned in VDOT's approval letter will need to be removed if
unwarranted or redesigned to VDOT standards. If it is to remain, it must be located within the
VDOT ROW and not in an easement on land to be dedicated to the County.
Comments have not yet been received from Planning. ACSA, Fire Rescue and ARB currently have no
objection to the plans. VDOT comments were emailed on 6/18/19.
Engineering plan review staff are available from 2-4 PM on Thursdays, should you require a meeting to
discuss this review.
Process;
After approval, plans will need to be bonded. The bonding process is begun by submitting a bond estimate
request form and fee to the Department of Community Development. One of the plan reviewers will
prepare estimates and check parcel and easement information based on the approved plans. The County's
Management Analyst will prepare bond agreement forms, which will need to be completed by the owner

and submitted along with cash, certificates or sureties for the amounts specified. The agreements will need
to be approved and signed by the County Attorney and County Engineer. This may take 2-4 weeks to
obtain all the correct signatures and forms.
Stormwater Management Facilities Maintenance agreements will also need to be completed and recorded.
The County's Management Analyst or other staff will prepare the forms and check for ownership and
signature information. The completed forms will need to be submitted along with court recording fees.
After bonding and agreements are complete, county staff will need to enter project information in a DEQ
database for state application processing. DEQ will review the application information based on local
VSMP authority approval. At this time, the DEQ portion of the application fees will need to be paid
directly to the state. For fastest processing, this is done electronically with the emails provided on the
application. DEQ should notify applicants with instructions on how to pay fees. When DEQ approves the
application, they will issue a permit coverage letter. This should be copied to the county.
After DEQ coverage is issued, via the coverage letter, the County can hold a pre -construction conference.
Applicants will need to complete the request for a pre -construction conference form, and pay the remainder
of the application fee. The form identifies the contractor and responsible land disturber, and the fee
remaining to be paid. This will be checked by county staff, and upon approval, a pre -construction
conference will be scheduled with the County inspector. At the pre -construction conference, should
everything proceed satisfactorily, a joint VSMP and grading permit will be issued by the County so that
work may begin.
County forms can be found on the county website forms center under engineering;
