SDP201 900091
Compare approved impervious area (224,639 ft2) with proposed Amendment (232,586 ft2); a slight 3.4%
increase. Amend VSMP/WPO Plan for this site plan, including VSMH Vol. 2 Appendix 5D worksheets.
(Note: proposed routing of paved surface runoff directly into a Level-1 biofilter requires pre-treatment)
Link: https://www.deq.vir ig'nia.gov/Portals/O/DEQ/Water/Publications/HndbkVolumeI.pdf - p. 3.11-14 and
FIG. 3.11-7. "Like other infiltration basins, bioretention basins must always be preceded by a pretreatment
facility to remove grease, oil, floatable organic material, and settleable solids..."
SDP201700005, Sheet 2: (Rev. 1) Comment persists. WP02017-00023, Amendment 2, is under review.
(Rev. 2) Addressed. VSMP /WPO approved 6/5/19.
Include reference to approved VSMP/WPO for Oakleigh: list WP0201700023, Approved 3/26/18, as an
associated plan. (Rev. 1) Addressed.
Sheet 4
Provide gutter along Eckerson Court, from Int. with Nichols Court, to parking area entrance at proposed
apartments. Ref. 18-4.12.15.g. Label curb and gutter using VDOT nomenclature, CG-7, for example.
(Rev. 1) Partially addressed. Applicant response: `We are using CG-3 so we wouldn't have to install
gutter on the access.' Asefollow-up: Please revise CG-3 to CG-6. Ref. 18-32.7.2.2.a. which references
Chapter 14. Please ref. 14-412.13. which states VDOT standards apply. Please ref. VDOT Road Design
Engineering Review Comments

Manual, Appendix B(1) -pg. B(1)-7, Table 1, Geometric Design Standards for Residential and Mixed Use
Subdivision Streets (GS-SSAR), Curb and Gutter section. Gutter is required. It is optimistic to assume
permeable pavers will be maintained over the life of this facility to the point design storm events do not
cause runoff requiring drainage design that prevents flooding at low point, Eckerson Court. Provide CG-6.
(Rev. 2) Comment unresolved. Applicant email with plan sheet attachments and comment response letter
(6/3/2019 2:47 PM) reads in part, `I'm submitting only the sheets you (J. Anderson) commented on per our
discussion this afternoon.' I cannot recall discussing this comment, specifically. Since comment response
attached to 6/3 email states: `This has been addressed previously and no further revisions are required,' we
need to discuss this comment. I apologize, appreciate reminder of specific points discussed, and hope to
resolve, quickly. (Rev. 2rev.) Addressed. Eckerson Court continues to trench drain (on 1-way branch),
which provides back up drainage should maintenance be insufficient to ensure runoff infiltration of pavers.
4. Concrete dumpster pad does not appear to extend 8' from back face of enclosure gates to edge of asphalt
surface. Revise to obtain min. 8' length, measured from back face of enclosure gates to edge of asphalt.
Ref. 18-4.12.19. (Rev. 1) Addressed.
5. Dimension Eckerson Court travelway width. Provide width label. (Rev. 1) Addressed.
6. Revise Note 5., Restrictions/Requirements/Notes: to read `All travelways are private with public access
easements over them.' (Rev. 1) Not addressed. (Rev. 2) Withdrawn. Applicant response: `This note
apparently needs to remain unchanged to conform to the approved ZMA-2016-00015 language according
to Paty. We feel this comment is no longer an issue.' Engineering accepts Applicant response.
7. Label emergency access concrete apron /entrance at Rio Road using VDOT nomenclature (CG-9a, for
example). Ref. Final Site Plan checklist, pg. 2, entrances and right-of-way improvements. (Rev. 1)
Addressed.
8. SDP201700005, Oakleigh Major Site Plan Amendment does not appear to include retaining wall design.
Provide retaining wall design. See Final Site Plan and Retaining Wall checklists (attached to this Memo).
(Rev. 1) Withdrawn. Applicant response: `Was provided to the County on 4/20/2017.'
9. Provide L X W (Typ.) dimensions for the three proposed parking spaces just west of the emergency access.
(Rev. 1) NA. Spaces removed.
10. Provide auto turn for typical passenger vehicles at Sta. 12+50f, Eckerson Ct, to show that a car exiting may
pass a car entering without striking curb or parked vehicles, with at least 2' clearance between vehicles.
Revise design to provide minimum 2' clearance between two typ. passenger vehicles at this location. (Rev.
1) Withdrawn. Applicant response: `This is no longer an issue with circulation being one way towards the
dumpster.'
11. Label travelway width between Sta. 12+50(f) and dumpsters, Eckerson Court (appears to be —14' FC-FC).
(Rev. 1) Addressed.
12. This section of travelway is too narrow for two-way travel. Provide signs indicating `one-way' travel
unless inconsistent with site plan requirements or Albemarle County Planning Division review, or policy.
(Rev. 1) Addressed.
13. Provide auto -turn for waste management vehicle (Typ.) to illustrate how WM vehicles may perform reverse
movement to exit this area without striking pedestrians, curbs, or parked vehicles. (Rev. 1) Addressed.
14. Revise subterranean parking drive aisle dimension to 24' (apparent typo). (Rev. 1) Addressed.
15. Revise 9' w (non-HC) parking space (adjacent to 8' w HC space) to 10' width. Ref. 18-4.12.16.c.1. (Rev.
1) Addressed.
16. Label sidewalk width, for walk located north of Eckerson Court. (Rev. 1) Addressed.
17. Provide curb cut required for drainage to bioretention midway along 8 parking spaces south of apartments.
(Rev. 1) Addressed.
18. Provide bioretention basin pre-treatment for this (asphalt surface) storm runoff, item above. (Rev. 1)
Partially addressed. Applicant response: `Pre-treatment for this bioretention basin is based on the old
stormwater regulations. It is a forebay as shown on the plans.' Additional comments possible with VSMP
/WPO2017-00023, Amendment 2. Comments will be based on VSMH, First Edit., 1999, Min. Std. 3.11.
(Rev. 2) Addressed. VSMP /WPO approved 6/5/19.
19. Provide `do not enter' sign at south exit of subterranean parking. Alternatively, revise travelway width,
north side of apartments to 20', min. Ref. 18-4.12.17.c.1.-2. (Rev. 1) Addressed.

Sheet 5
20. Provide storm inlets and conveyance from paved surface of Eckerson Court. Please re£ proposed profile.
From proposed H.P. Sta. 11+20, surface runoff flows west, without any inlets on the travelway. This
runoff bypasses the parking area fronting east side of proposed apartments, and washes into a dumpster
enclosure. Provide VDOT storm drainage design, for both culvert pipes and inlets. Eckerson may (likely
will) flood and present hazard under proposed curb without gutter and inlet design. (Rev. 1) Not
pointaddressed. Per-meable paveFs are likely to blindwith debFis if ifnpr-opeFly maintained. in that ease, suffa-1,
Fun ff has no outlet. Request GG inlet design. Reeommend - 120' pipe ftofn inlet at L.P. Eckerson Q. Sta.
124=46 (dE) to StF. H2. There is sufficient gFade foF mild slope between these points. Flooding at the lo
would s*r^^a residents of the apartment complex. Withdrawn. Sheet 5 label ref. to 8"AOC trench
drain provides second tier drainage in event permeable pavers (Eckerson Ct.) are infrequently maintained.
21. Revise I/8 (4" curb) detail to VDOT CG-7. Ref. 2016 Road and Bridge Standard, CG-7, 201.04, Rev. 9/06.
(Rev. 1) Partially addressed. As follow-up: Provide barrier -type curb appropriate to design speed. Ref.
Sheet 8, VDOT CG-3 detail, Note 5. Also, item 3. Comment is revised to request design provide CG-6.
(Rev. 1, Rev. 5/13) Please provide CG-2 label if item 3 (once discussed internally) is withdrawn. Reviewer
cannot locate CG-2 curb type label for Eckerson Ct. Curb type will be either CG-2 or CG-6 (see item 3).
22. Provide dumpster pad detail. Ref. 18-4.12.19. Specify /provide minimum 4" stone base, 6" concrete depth,
3000psi at 28 days, with minimum grid of wire reinforcing or #4 bars at 12" on center. Final Site Plan
checklist, p. 3, parking and circulation, item 8. (Rev. 1) Addressed.
23. Revise proposed grade so that Eckerson Court storm runoff does not wash through dumpster pad enclosure.
Collect and convey storm runoff to avoid spread greater than travel lane width + gutter pan. (Rev. 1)
Addressed.
Sheet 8:
24. Revise Ksag value, Eckerson Court, PVI Sta. 12+46 (K proposed = 5.00) to nearly approximate approved
site plan Ksag PVI Sta. 12+86, K=12.00. Recommend Ksag = 15.00 as a design target. (Rev. 1) Not
addressed. Applicant response: 'We did not address this. When the tovmhomes became apaFtments,
private stfeet becomes more like a tfavelway and dropped the pr-ivate road standards and feel is adequ
for- this applioation.' Ref. eode 18 32.7.2.2.a. whieh mfer-enees Chapter- 14. Please r-ef. 14 412.B. (Pr-iva
Streets) whieh states NIPOT standafds apply. Please address. Reqiiir-ed for- site plan . Withdrawn.
Sta. 12+46 low point is beyond radius return at entrance to apartment complex parking area. Speeds are
reduced. It is borderline beyond travelway, and may reasonably be argued beyond travelway limits.
25. Provide emergency access section (detail). (Rev. 1) Addressed.
26. Provide grasspave detail. (Rev. 1) Addressed.
27. Detail D/8: Include VDOT Class A3 General concrete design parameters; i.e., compressive strength, slump,
