General
1. Provide field run surveyed topographic data as basis of Final Site Plan (FSP) design.
2. Source of topographic data is listed as county GIS, but topographic information is inconsistent with GIS.
Note especially the centerline of drainage feature, shown off -site on ISP, but on -site in GIS. ISP should be
re -submitted with either field run survey, or topographic information consistent with GIS, if GIS is used as
basis of Initial Site Plan design.
3. GIS topographic features indicate a drainage feature and show blue stream line that may be a perennial
stream. Provide confirmation that drainage is either intermittent or ephemeral, and not a perennial stream.
If feature is perennial, establish and show stream buffer on FSP, and revise proposed development design
consistent with Ch. 17, Article VI, Stream Buffers.
4. An approved VSMP Plan is pre -requisite to FSP approval. From Engineering perspective, conceptual
design shown on C6.0 is sufficient for ISP approval. With VSMP, please include plan note and analysis
that consider Colonnade Drive runoff which appears to bypass the site in pre -development condition, but
appears partially routed to detention (via relocated DI) in the post -developed condition. Engineering does
not object to relocating DI, but requests FSP confirm effect: non -capture (pre- ) vs. capture (post-).
Note: with VSMP plan, provide complete calculations, including RV calculations, Energy Balance Eq.
5. SWM Facility /Access easement with deed must be recorded prior to FSP approval.
6. Recommend title sheet note that parcel lies within ACSA service area for water and sewer.
7. Ensure project has all relevant state /federal permits, including Army Corps of Engineers permit for any
stream or wetland impacts.
8. Identify existing wetlands, if any (FSP).
9. With FSP, identify area or length of any wetland or stream impacts.
10. Provide detailed retaining wall design prior to FSP approval /ref. attached Retaining Wall Plan checklist.
11. With FSP, provide comprehensive drainage design. Revise to include plan /profile drainage data, tables,
elevations, inlet /storm pipe design, etc. and provide inlet capture for hardscape areas to prevent ponding.
Please see Drainage Plan review checklist (attached /also, county website).
12. C1.2: Include VDOT ST-1, IS-1 details (MH steps /inlet shaping).
C4.0:

13. Recommend label typical length of parking space/s (TYP.=18.0').
14. Provide off -site temporary construction /grading easement for retaining wall construction. Lowest tier wall
is approximately 6.0' away from the nearest property line.
15. C5.0: It is Engineering understanding that no grading is allowed within the 20' landscape buffer located
parallel to south property line. Revise grading per landscape buffer requirements.
16. L1.0: Recommend review and revise if needed planting design to limit potential conflict between tree
canopy and dumpster lift operations, which may require 14' vertical clearance above dumpster pad.
Please feel free to call if any questions. Thank you

Retaining Wall Plan checklist for plan reviewers
18 Feb 2014 (Use the latest checklist from the Team Services engineering forms site)
Any walls supporting roads or necessary infrastructure require engineered plans (not generic
manufacturer's details) and computations. {Design Manual, section 81 This will also be required
where walls are close to propert lines and there is the danger of affecting neighboring property,
either during construction, with later failures, or with pedestrian or vehicle safety.
Reference key;
[Square Brackets] are County Code references, {Curved Brackets} are policy references, and (regular
parenthesis) are explanatory. Links to reference documents are provided where possible.
Title information: (applicable to any type of plan)
Project title.
Professional seal, with original signature and date. [ 18-32.6.1 ]
Plans :
safety railing shown for retaining walls over 4' high
guardrail with VDOT designations or equivalent shown for retaining walls next to
parking or travelways
VDOT approval for any walls in right-of-way
Accurate depiction of horizontal depth (batter) on site plans.
All structural reinforcement, steal, or geogrids specified.
All dimensions specified
Constructability; there should be no vertical cuts on property lines during construction,
such that abutting property does not become unstable. Adequate room for consruction
needs to be available.
Details and sections :
typical sections with dimensions shown for all configurations
reinforcement layout shown and dimensioned (steel, geogrids, etc.)
details for any pipes through, or bridged utilities, or manholes through geogrid
Computations
Structural computations with original seal and signature for walls over 5' high
Accurate surcharges and loadings assumed
Materials and dimensions match plans
appropriate safety factors used

Drainage Plan checklist for plan reviewers
18 Feb 2014 (Use the latest checklist from the Team Services engineering forms site)
A drainage plans is typically a component of a road plan, site plan, or stormwater management plan. It
consists of the channel, ditch, culvert, or stormsewer design drawings, drainage maps, and computations
for hydrology and hydraulics.
Reference key;
[Square Brackets] are County Code references, {Curved Brackets} are policy references, and (regular
parenthesis) are explanatory. Links to reference documents are provided where possible.
A professional seal should be provided for any computation packages where are separate
from sealed plans.
Drainage: [18-32.6.2d, 14-305, 311 ]
drainage area maps (This is a basic element, and without this there is no review)
drainage computations (usually in the form of tables from the VDOT Drainage Manual
App. 9B-1 LD-2014, App.713-1 LD-268, App., App.8B-1 LD-269, etc. -computations are
a basic element, and without them there is no review)
all proposed and existing storm sewer must be shown in plan view
for residential development, principle access free of flooding during the 25yr storm [14-
410]
site runoff and entrances do not drain into streets (from VDOT Drainage Manual 9.4.5.2,
9.4.6.2)
concentrated runoff (Icfs or greater) does not run across travelways/streets (as above'
following VDOT design)
drainage does not run across, through, or backwater in dumpster areas [ 18-4.12.19]
overland relief is provided for any drainage structure or inlet in case of clogging. The
failure of any system will not cause structures, streets or yards to flood. {Policy}
direction of flow change (or deflection angle) in each drainage structure is 90 degrees or
greater (flow should not have to reverse direction) (from guide of VDOT Drainage
Manual 9.4.9.3.2.3)
labels on all drainage structures provided (and should match the drainage computations
and profiles)
provisions and easements for drainage across 3 or more lots. Dense development where
fencing, decking, etc is expected should provide yard inlets and pipes in easements,
rather than ditches {Policy}
Drainage profiles: (applicable to site plans, road and drainage plans) [14-311, 18-32]
drainage profiles for each pipe, structure or channel must contain:
existing ground
proposed ground
any channel linings
all utility crossings
a VDOT designation (MH-1, DI-3B, etc.) for each structure
throat length for each drop inlet

grate type for each grate inlet
a label on each structure to correspond with the computations
material and strength class or gage of each pipe
manhole access every 300' for 15"42" or 800' for 48" or greater
pipe slopes at 0.5% min. to 16% max. (per VDOT stnds for anchors over 16%)
concrete inlet shaping (IS-1) specified on any structure with a 4' or greater drop
safety slabs (SL-1) in any structure taller than 12'.
top or rim elevation for each structure
all invert elevations for each structure (with positive flow drop between inverts).
end sections (ES-1) or endwalls (EW-1) on all pipe outlets. Endwalls for culverts 48" or
taller
scour outlet protection at all outlets, corresponding to computations (Green Brook, OP)
Drainage computations: (applicable to any plan proposing pipes, channels, etc.)
Pipe computations for all pipes
All proposed systems are designed within open channel flow capacities. (HGL
computations are not necessary, and should not be relied upon unless the entire
system is to be watertight.)
For systems within drainage easements, all proposed pipes are a minimum 15" in
diameter
There are no excessive outlet velocities (> 15fps)
Curb inlet computations for any curb inlets on grade
All spreads are less than 10'
carryover is accounted for
100% capture at entrances so no flow runs out entrances into travel lanes
100% capture, or overland flow of capacity storm, to stormwater management
facilities. Typically stormwater management is designed to the 1 Oyear storm, and
inlets on grade cannot capture this.
Curb inlet computations for any curb inlets in sump conditions
All flow depths are below 6" in the capacity table
All spreads are less than 10'
100% capture to stormwater management facilities
Ditch computations for any ditches
ditch linings specified per plans meet velocity requirements
Culvert computations for any culverts
headwaters < 1.5 x culvert height, and 18" below shoulder elevation of streets.
Outlet protection computations for all outlets
dimensions and stone sizes for all outfalls
Proposed pipe and inlet drainage area map
limits of all areas and sub -areas draining to proposed structures, and existing
structures or channels which will be impacted
acreage of each drainage area as used in computations
