Re: Sheeflee Co Housing Site Development Plan
Dear Mr. Neel:
The Albemarle County Service Authority (ACSA) has reviewed the plans entitled
"Sheeflee Co Housing Site Development Plan"and has the following comments:
General Comments:
1) A RWSA Capacity Certification is required for this development. The ACSA has
submitted an official request for capacity certification from RWSA for total build-
out ofthe.. Sheeflee-Co-Housing"development.
2) The private wastewater collection sy m__is requir_ed_to be built tolbemarle"�
':~Countystandards. Contact the office of Community Develop ent (434-296-5832) g
for further informations
3) Confirm which standard applies to the private wastewater pump station and
update the plans as required. Construction of the station does not fall under
Albemarle County Service Authority standards because it.is a private pump
station. Explore whether the construction standard will be from Albemarle County
or DEQ.
4) Offsite water and wastewater easements are required before the ACSA grants
construction approval. Prior to recordation the ACSA must review and approve all
water/wastewater plats and deeds. Once recorded a copy of the recorded deed,
plat and clerk's receipt should be submitted to the ACSA.
5) The ACSA has attempted to acquire.a sewer easement across TMP# 56A3-9
during site redevelopment review. Due to a recent Supreme Court ruling, the
ACSA is unable to require the easement be granted. You are responsible for
obtaining an offsite easement for the sewer connection before the ACSA will
grant construction approval. Refer to additional comments in this letter in regards
to alternate options to explore.
6) Note on the cover sheet that in the event of a discrepancy in "General Utility
Notes," the ACSA Water and Sewer General Conditions will be enforced.
7) Provide fixture counts so the master meter can be sized and noted on the plans.
This will also allow the ACSA to calculate a connection fee quote for your
budgeting purposes.

Sheet CO-01:
1) Update the ACSA Water and Sewer General Conditions.
2) Update Note 20 based on the following information: Connection fees will also
cover the cost of the meter. Connections to the water and wastewater system are
the responsibility of the contractor. If a tapping sleeve and valve is required, the
ACSA can make the tap for a fee as outlined in the ACSA's Rules and
Regulations.
3) Add Note: A preconstruction conference will be held with the Albemarle County
Service Authority prior to the start of water/wastewater construction.
Sheet C4-01 (water):
1) Provide additional easement around proposed fire hydrant#2 as indicated on the
plans.2) Relocate the proposed reducer and.gate valve near St. 14+75 to St. 16+25.
3) Relocate proposed "waterline A" from St. 17+00 to St. 18+00 so the proposed
retaining wall does not encroach into the easement.
4) Relocate proposed "waterline A" from St. 18+00 to the proposed fire hydrant at
the end of the line to meet the following requirements:
a. The waterline should be located in a travel-way. and not under parking
spaces.
b. The private sewer system is not allowed to encroach into the waterline
easement.
c. The water meter should be tapped as close to the FHA as possible to
prevent a dead-end.
5) Relocate the proposed water meter for the "pool" so the service line does not
pass under a retaining wall. Include an easement around the water meter and
call out a backflow preventer behind the water meter.
6). Add note to the master meter that it will be sized by the ACSA. If fixture counts
are provided with the resubmittal the note can 'be updated to reflect the actual
meter size, as determined by the ACSA.
7) Provide an easement around the proposed master meter vault.
8) Provide clarification on public water/wastewater service for Barn & Sheds (2) or
#1317 2 Story Frame and Log Dwelling.
9) Provide clarifications if there is any commercial, office or maintenance
(maintenance building or room) uses behind the master meter that are non-
residential.
Sheet C4-01 (sewer):
1) Ensure private sewer system does not encroach into the waterline easement.
2) Add note to the adjacent property connection that the final connection must be
reviewed and approved by the ACSA (to ensure a maintenance agreement is in
place and connection fees are paid).
Sheet C4-02
1) The proposed force main connection cannot be constructed. Propose an
alternate connection for approval and easement preparation.
2) Refer to the attached information for a possible gravity extension that the force
main can tie into.
Sheet C4-04
1) Update notes in pump station views to the correct construction standards.ACSA
standards do not apply to a private pump station.
Sheet C4-05
1) Update details with ACSA details which are available at
www.serviceauthority.org: Include the following additional details:
a. TD-1
b. TD=6
c. TD-8
d. TD-18
Sheet C6-01
