A. Final Site Plans(comments from 15 May 2008)
1. Please provide copies of federal and state permits for stream disturbance(Army Corps,VDEQ,
etc.).
(Rev. 1) Comment has not been addressed.
(Rev.2)Comment has not been addressed.
2. Please provide a completed copy of the standard stormwater maintenance agreement and fee for
recordation for the proposed stormwater management facilities.
(Rev. 1) Comment has not been addressed.
(Rev.2)Comment has been addressed.
3. Please provide the FEMA map and date references labeled for the FEMA floodplain.
(Rev. I)Comment has been addressed.
4. Please provide all copies of necessary offsite easements. For example,easements to construct
water and sewer,road improvements,offsite construction and access easements,drainage
easements, etc.
(Rev. 1) Comment has not been addressed. The only offsite easement obtained has been for the
construction within the private ROW. Permanent easements are needed for this project that must
be obtained before approval is granted. Temporary construction easements also appear
necessary on adjacent parcels affected by the roadway upgrade and construction of the SCC's to
the streams.
(Rev. 1)Comment has not been addressed. An easement plat has not yet been reviewed by the
County. Comments from a full review of the plat will be given under a separate cover. Over
the last several months, most of the discussion regarding offsite easements has revolved around
the roadway culvert and drainage channels. Please be aware that in addition to the drainage
easements in this area, the following easements will be required:
- drainage easements will be needed for the channels downstream of SWM facilities 3
and 5
- construction easements for the sediment traps shown on the ESC plan, and
- a swm easement on the 56-76B encompassing the embankment of SWM facility 5.
A letter from the property owner will be enough to address our concerns about the construction
of the sediment traps.
5. The proposed adjacent subdivision and boundary line adjustment must be recorded prior to final
site plan approval.
(Rev. 1)Please adjust site plan set to match the approved boundaries.
(Rev. 1)The BLA plat must be recorded prior to site plan approval.
6. Please provide traffic generation figures for the proposed site and proposed roadway
improvements.
(Rev. 1) Comment has not been addressed. The applicant has just mentioned the estimated traffic
generation for the proposed development and has not offered an estimate of the traffic loud
existing on Park View Drive. This is needed in order to check the road is designed to the correct
standards.
(Rev. 2) Comment has been addressed.
7. Curb and gutter and treated surfaces based on VDOT regulations and standards are required for all
travel-ways and parking areas. As proposed,the plan requires a waiver of curb and gutter and
parking/travel-way surface requirements. If you want to pursue a waiver of the requirements,
please provide a waiver request which includes the items requesting to be waived and a
justification in accordance with the Code Sections provided below:
Curb and gutter waiver request:
Curb and gutter can be waived administratively for stormwater management purposes by the
County Engineer according to Code Section 18.4.12.15g. For all other purposes,a curb and gutter
waiver can be administratively waived by the Zoning Administrator in conjunction with the
County Engineer according to Code Section 18.4.12.2c2.
Parking and travel-way surface waiver request:
Parking and travel-way surface requirements can be waived by the county Engineer according to
Code Section 18.4.12.15a.
(Rev. 1)I have forwarded your request for a waiver of the curb and gutter to the Zoning
Administrator. I will forward you her response once it is received. I have also noticed that the
site plan is not in compliance with sections 18-4.12.17.a and 18-4.12.16.c.6 and requested that
the Zoning Administrator make decisions on these waivers as well.
The County Engineer has approved your request for the alternative surface requirements. These
details cannot be amended without County Engineer approval.
(Rev.2) The waiver of curb and gutter and the reduction of the 18ft parking space length to
17ft have been approved by the Zoning Administrator. The county will not waive travelway and
parking lot grade requirements.
le proposed p [ni buffer disturbance. Stream buffer disturbance should be
minimized. Engineering recommends minimizing stream buffer disturbance along Parkview Drive
and eliminating all stream buffer disturbance shown on site, except for any necessary ditches to
convey the outletting drainage of the facilities to the streams below. Any stream buffer
disturbances will need approval from the Program Authority, and require an approved Mitigation
Plan prior to Final Site Plan approval.
(Rev. 1) The disturbances of the stream buffer for temporary ESC controls as shown on the
latest plan will be allowed through section 17-320B of the Water Protection Ordinance.
Comments from the mitigation plan review for the disturbance of the stream buffer for the
upgrade of Park View Rd. will appear in the sections to follow.
9. The grading plans show proposed slopes steeper than 2:1. Please revise the grading plans so that
all proposed slopes are 2:1 or flatter. Some of the proposed spot elevations are very confusing.
For example, the spot elevation 651.9 near the existing barn/shed is very close to the existing 650
contour, creating very steep slopes in this area. There are other proposed spot elevations which
create very steep proposed slopes.
(Rev. 1) Comment has not been addressed.
♦ (Rev. 2) Comment has been addressed.
10. For SWM facilities with embankments 3 feet or higher, the downhill face of the embankment must
be minimum of 3:1. Several of the proposed embankments are only 1.5:1.
(Rev. 1) Comment has not been addressed. SWM facility 3 has an embankment taller than 3ft and
the slope varies between 3:1 and 2:1. Please amend.
(Rev.2)A variance has been granted by the County engineer for the 2:1 slopes on the
downstream side of the embankments to the.SWAT facilities as shown.
11. All proposed slopes steeper than 3:1 must have low maintenance(not grass)ground cover
specified on the plans(site plan and road plans).
(Rev. 1) Comment has not been addressed. The groundcover must not be grass. For instance,
juniper would be something that would meet the requirement. Also, not all slopes steeper than
3:1 are shown with the special low maintenance groundcover designation.
(Rev. 2)Please update the landscape sheet with this note.
12. Safety railing must be specified for retaining walls over 4 feet high.
(Rev. 1) Comment has not been addressed.
(Rev. 2) Comment has been addressed.
13. Adequate access must be provided to all of the SWM facilities. The requirements are: 10 feet
wide access not exceeding 20% in grade. For grades in excess of 10%, graveled access is
required. Access must be provided to the embankment,any outlet strictures, and any forebays.
(Rev. I) Comment has not been addressed. Please dearly show the access paths on the plan.
(Rev. 2) Comment has been addressed.
14. All entrances must be shown with a VDOT desi!nlation.
(Rev. 1) Comment has been addressed.
15. Please show the sight distance lines at the entrance of the site on Parkview Drive.
(Rev. 1) Comment has not been addressed. A vertical profile of this sight line may be needed
because of the existing grading of Park View Drive.
(Rev. 2)Comment has not been addressed.
,iffecting the public right-of-way.
(Rev. 1) VDOT approval has not yet been received.
2) VDOT app% ecl lir
17. Parking areas cannot exceed 5% in grade, in any direction.
(Rev. 2)Grading has been amended and the plan is now currently in violation of 18-4.12.15c.
18. The proposed parking area configuration does not meet County requirements. In order to maintain
9 foot wide parking spaces,a 24 foot wide travel-way must be provided. If a 20 foot wide travel-
way is provided, parking spaces must maintain 10 feet in width.
(Per. I) Comaaaent has been addressed,
19. Guardrail is required for the stream crossing along Parkview Drive.
(Rev. 1) Guardrail placement is not correct. The shoulder needs to be 7ft wide and the guardrail
should be placed in the outer 3ft to maintain the required clear zone. Please see VDOT manuals.
(Rev. 2) The applicant seems to have replaced 2:1 slopes with 3:1 slopes for most areas on the
latest plan. Considering this change and the wide clear zone on the north side of the road,
guardrails are no longer needed. If the applicant wishes to keep the guardrails along the
roadway, then the guardrails must be placed in a flat area of 2%, not on the 3:1 slope. Please
be sure to update the roadway section to match what has been changed in plan view.
20. It appears that the concept for Stormwater Management is not capturing as much proposed
impervious area as practicable. It appears that parking areas and structures may bypass the facility.
Typically,roof drains of structures tie into the proposed stormwater management facilities,and
parking areas/travel-ways are directed to the SWM facilities through use of curb and gutter,piping,
or ditches and swales. Any concentrated discharges flowing in to a SWM facility require forebays.
(Rev. 1) Comment has not been addressed. Grading around the parking lot and travelway
adjacent to SWM 3 indicates that not all stormwater could be captured. It appears a curb along
the travelway from SWM 5 to SWM 3 would collect this water. All other site runoff appears to be
directed to facilities through roof drains, channels, or overland flow. Also,forebays have not
been provided for any of the biofilters. Forebays are required at all concentrated discharge
points. The forebay should be sized to hold at least 0.1"of runoff from the impervious area. This
volume can be included in your Water Quality volume of the biofilter so the footprints do not need
to be increased.
(Rev. 2)Please see comment 49.
21. Please indicate the outlet locations of the proposed SWM facilities. Also, show the required
improvements in order to provide adequate channels for the outlets of the facility to the streams
below.
(Rev. 1)Please show the grading and lining necessary for all stormwater conveyance channels on
the site plan.
(Rev. 2)Please see comment 46. Please show riprap on the channels down the biofilter
embankments.
22. We received a copy of you SWPP permit. This should be sent directly to DCR. Please contact
Mr. Matthew Grant, DCR,at 804.225.3068 for more information. This does not affect your
review/approval of this plan.
(Rev. 1) Comment has been noted by the applicant.
23. Engineering has not yet been able to complete the review of the ESC plans. However, after a
quick look at the plans, it appears that the plans are inadequate. Use of only silt fence as ESC
protection is inadequate. For adequate perimeter control, please provide diversion dikes which
convey drainage to sediment traps and basins.
(Rev. 1) ESC comments will he given in the ESC section of this letter.
24. The ESC plans appear to indicate that the SWM facilities will be constructed during the same time
that the grading/site construction occurs. SWM facilities cannot be constructed or retrofitted from
sediment traps to biofilters until after final stabilization has occurred.
(Rev. 1) Comment has not been addressed. Please remove biofilter grading from the ESC plan.
Traps 1 and 2 do not appear to be graded to the areas listed in the calculations.
(Rev. 2)Please comment 61b.
25. The road plans,drainage plans,ESC plans, SWM plans, and mitigation plans, any easement plats,
subdivision plats, and boundary line adjustments must be approved and/or recorded prior to final
site plan approval.
(Rev. 1) Comment has not been addressed. Engineering review cannot recommend approval to
the site plan until all comments are addressed.
(Rev. 2) Comment has not been addressed.
26. More comments may be necessary upon resubmittal.
a. (Rev. 1)Please provide a detail or call out a specific product number for the Enviroform
wheel stops. The proposed wheels stops must be all the requirements listed in section 18-
4.12.16.3.
(Rev. 2)Please show the striping and wheel stops on sheet 6.
b. (Rev. 1)Is there a storm drain located adjacent to Building 1? If so please provide
calculations, outlet protection, a profile, and all other requirements listed in the design
manual.
(Rev. 2) Comment has been withdrawn.
c. (Rev. 1) The sanitary force main is being shown through inlets, water meters,fire
hydrants, and storm manholes. Please correct. Please also show the ROW and property
boundaries on sheet 8A.
(Rev. 2)Comment has not been addressed. The ROW has been shown but the force
main is still proposed through water meters and storm inlets. The county cannot
approve the plan with the note regarding the IOft separation because it would imply
that if the water line was closer to the curb and gutter, the force main could be
constructed on private property. This will not be allowed. Please adjust the note to
state that if the waterline necessitates the force main to be constructed outside of the
ROW, the contract shall stop work and the owner shall obtain an easement.
d. (Rev. 1)The intersection of travelways adjacent to the 2-story log dwelling does not meet
the county's standard for safe and convenient access. The northern travelway is at too
steep of a grade. The intersected travelway is also at a cross 10%slope which is far to
great. Please reduce to a grade no steeper than 5%.
(Rev.2)Comment has not been addressed. There are several areas where the grade is
steeper than 5%.
B. Road Plans
27. Adequate conveyance of drainage must be provided for Parkview Drive. The ditch shown
opposite of the development ends at contour 646. An adequate channel must be provided to the
channel below. There does not appear to be any adequate ditches or conveyance on the roadside
directly adjacent to the development(from the high point- 16+00 to the channel below the
culvert.) It appears drainage may spill into the street.
(Rev. 1)Please show the necessary grading all channels including the SCC's along Park View
Drive. A drainage easement will be necessary if a ditch leaves the ROW. Also, the ditch
calculations are confusing. I do not see how any of the roadside ditches can have a 10-year flow
of 40.04cfs. Please amend calculations for SCC8. Also, there appears to be 4 separate channels
along Parkview Drive. There should be 4 separate calculations:SCC8, 9, 10, and 11. The side
slopes of the ditch in the computations must match the roadway section(3:1).
(Rev.2) The depth of these roadway ditches must be lff[DM]Please also see comment 46.
28. Please provide pavement design calculations.
(Rev. 1)Comment has not been addressed.
(Rev.2)Comment has not been addressed.
29. A traffic generation and distribution summary(ADT's)and design speed limit are needed for
design of Parkview Drive (for road width, K values,pavement design,etc.)
(Rev. 1) Comment not addressed. The applicant has just mentioned the estimated traffic
generation for the proposed development and has not offered an estimate of the traffic load
existing on Park View Drive. This is needed in order to check the road is designed to the correct
standards.
(Rev.2) Comment has been addressed.
30. Please show all existing and proposed signs for traffic control (speed limit, stop signs, etc.)
(Rev. 1) Comment has not been addressed. Stops signs are needed from Parrot Creek Rd. and the
site at Sta. 11+00. The sign at Sta. 11+00 should he placed before the bike path. A speed limit
sign should be shown for the lane traveling from Route 240. Please specify what the speed limit
and design speed for the roadway upgrade are.
(Rev. 2) Comment has been addressed.
31. Please show all existing and proposed street name signs.
(Rev. 1)A street sign needs to be shown at the intersection of Park View and Route 240.
(Rev. 2)Comment has been addressed.
32. Please provide the Albemarle County general construction notes,and notes for streets on the plans,
verbatim (It appears old notes are provided.) A copy of the latest notes is provided at the end of
this comment letter.
(Rev. 1) Continent has not been addressed.
(Rev. 2) Comment has been addressed.
33. Please show cross drain locations labeled with VDOT designations(CD-1,2)at every major cut
and fill transition or sag curve on the road profile sheet.
(Rev. 1) Comment has not been addressed. Please remove the note and locate the cross-drains in
the profile meeting the VDOT requirements.
(Rev. 2) Comment has been addressed.
34. The pavement crown must be specified at'/a":1' slope.
(Rev. 1) Comment has been addressed.
35. The roadway shoulder must be a minimum of 4' width.
(Rev. 1)It appears there are many discrepancies between the roadway section and plan view/The
grading in plan view seems to indicate that the shoulder is not graded at I/4"/1'. Please correct.
There doesn't appear to be a shoulder on the west side of the road from Sta. 14+00 to 15+75.
Please correct and show grading for the ditch and provide an easement. Easements will be
needed over all roadside ditches outside of the ROW. The section should show a fill slope at the
edge of the bike path.
(Rev. 2)Comment has not been addressed. To specify a few:
- the section does not match what has been drawn in plan view,
- in plan view, the shoulder on the south side of the road is 6ft, not 5ft,
- the bike trail is shown at the edge of easement when it is not in plan view,and
- the guardrail on the north side of the road is not shown.
36. Proposed slopes steeper than 3:I must have low maintenance (not grass)ground cover specified.
(Rev. 1) Comment has not been addressed. The groundcover must not he grass. Juniper would be
something that would meet the requirement. Also, not all slopes steeper than 3:1 are shown with
the special low maintenance groundcover designation.
(Rev. 2) Comment has been addressed.
37. Guardrail must be specified over all fill slopes and culverts, with 3' additional shoulder, using
VDOT designations. Guardrail end sections must be labeled.
(Rev. 1) Comment has not been addressed. The shoulder has not been increased an additional 3ft
when the guardrail is necessary. Guardrail is needed over a larger span than what is specified.
The guardrail should be accounted for in the roadway section as well.
(Rev. 2) The applicant seems to have replaced 2:1 slopes with 3:1 slopes for most areas on the
latest plan. Considering this change and the wide clear zone on the north side of the road,
guardrails are no longer needed. If the applicant wishes to keep the guardrails along the
roadway, then the guardrails must be placed in a flat area of 2%, not on the 3:1 slope. Please
be sure to update the roadway section to match what has been changed in plan view.
38. Ditches must be dimensioned at I' depth min., and 4' min. width from shoulder to ditch
centerline.
39. Please provide a profile for the roadway culvert.
(Rev. 1) The profile of the roadway culvert is adequate but a drainage easement will be needed
over the pipe where it exists outside of the ROW. The easement should be placed at the width
specified by the formula in the design manual.
(Rev.2)All vertical or horizontal changes in direction or changes in material require a VDOT
structure. It appears the latest revision to the culvert design requires 2 structures. The pipe
diameters cannot decrease in a pipe system.
40. Please provide culvert calculations.
(Rev. 1) Comment has not been addressed. The computations appear to be for the existing culvert
that will be replaced with this plan.
(Rev. 2)Comment has not been addressed. The calculations provided appear to be for a pipe
in a storm sewer network instead of a culvert calculation. The capacity of a 24in culvert at 2%
is smaller than of a 24in pipe in a stormsewer system because of the headwater conditions. The
culvert calculations should show that headwater for the pipe during a 10-year storm is less than
1.5 times the diameter. Depending on the slope, my calculations show that a 30 or 36 inch
culvert may be needed.
41. Please provide ditch calculations.
(Rev. 1)All grass-lined ditches must have side slopes of 3:1. If side slopes are steeper, the
channel must be lined with rip-rap because of the county's policy of not allowing grass on slopes
steeper than 3:1. Please show accurate grading reflecting the width of the channel on sheet 7.
For instance, SCC7 is shown as lft wide on the plan but is 4ft wide in the calculations.
(Rev. 2) There are discrepancies between the channels in the forebay calculations and in the
SCC calculations. Please see comment 49. Please provide riprap on the channels through the
• embankment of the biofilters. When the channel reaches existing grade, the ditch lining
determined in the channel calculations are satisfactory.
42. Please provide outlet protection and outlet protection calculations for the roadway culvert.
(Rev. 1) Comment has not been addressed. Please show the outlet protection dimensions in the
plan set.
(Rev. 2) Comment has not been addressed. Dimensions for the outlet protection must be
provided.
43. Please show the drainage area drainage to the proposed culvert.
(Rev. 1) Comment has been addressed.
C. Stormwater Management Plan
nwat rage area maps(proposed and existing) must have the acreage
coefficient, and time of concentration labeled for each drainage area on the maps.
(Rev. 1) Drainage area lines do not look accurate. Please amend. Also, show the proposed
contour lines on the "Post Development Drainage Area Map".
(Rev. 2) Comment has been addressed.
45. It appears that not all impervious areas drain to the SWM facilities. See comment#20.
(Rev. 1) Grading around the parking lot and travelway adjacent to SWM 3 indicates that not all
stormwater could be captured. It appears a curb along the tr•avelway from SWM 5 to SWM 3
would collect this water. All other site runoff appears to be directed to facilities through roof
drains, channels, or overland flow.
(Rev. 2) Comment has been addressed.
46. Please provide ditch calculations for all proposed ditches conveying flow to SWM facilities.
(Rev. 1)Please show the grading for channels and include in the limits of disturbance on the ESC
plan. Please also see comment 41.
(Rev. 2)Engineering review is satisfied with the channel calculations. Due to the number and
differing conditions for all of the channels on site,please provide a summary table on the site
plan showing side slopes,depth, and lining for each channel.
47. The Stormwater Management facilities must not be located within the stream butlers.
(Rev. I)Comment has been addressed.
48. Flow in the facilities must not be short-circuited. The flow path must be 2:1 or greater in all water
quality facilities.
(Rev. 1) Comment has not been addressed.
(Rev. 2) Comment has been withdrawn.
49. Cross-section details of each facility must be provided, including: embankments,principle and
emergency spillways, sediment forebays,and biofilter floor dimensions. See the County
Engineering design manual checklist for all cross-section detail requirements.
(Rev. 1) The provided details are missing critical pieces of information. Please list the
embankment elevation, embankment width, bed elevation, spillway elevation and TOW(if
applicable). And,for all biofilters adjacent to walls,please show the gravel backfill behind the
biofilters and any tie backs and how it relates to the mix in the biofilter. Engineering review is
concerned about water escaping the mix without treatment by passing through the backfill.
Please also provide details for the spillway through the retaining wall.
(Rev. 2)Please show and dimension the check dam forebays in plan view as they have been
designed in the calculations package. Check dams should be cleaned out or replaced at the
time of biofilter construction/conversion. The channels in the check dam forebay calculations
do not appear to match the dimensions in the SCC calculations. As an alternative, the
applicant may place stone horse-shoe shaped dams in the biofilter bed at the inlet point as long
as they are sized correctly. (Please contact me to discuss this possibility further.)
50. For facilities with embankments 3 feet or higher,the 10 yr. and 100 yr.high water elevations must
be shown on the cross-section details. With an emergency spillway, 1 foot of freeboard for the
100 yr. storm must be provided. Without an emergency spillway,2 feet of freeboard for the 100
yr. storm must be provided.
• (Rev. 1) Comment has not been addressed. It appears that all facilities lack adequate free board.
(Rev. 2)Freeboard appears to have been met on all facilities. Please remove "MIN"from the
spillway callout on the biofilter detail sheets. The weir must be the length specified on the plan.
If it were widened in the field,discharges would be higher and may not meet the pre-
development rate.
. 01 :-,, draining into biofilter facilities must be protected from erosion by appropriate
scour protection stone or energy dissipation measure.
(Rev. 1) Comment not addressed. The applicant has referred to a VDOT standard detail that is
not appropriate,for this use. Please specify on the plan the size, depth, and any other necessary
characteristics of scour protection for each biofilter.
(Rev. 2) Comment has been addressed.
52. Plants must be shown and labeled with height or caliper in the biofilters. Three species of trees
and three species of shrubs are required in each biofilter.
(Rev. 1) Comment has not been addressed. Each facility needs to have 3 species of trees and 3
species of shrubs specified where possible.
(Rev. 2) Comment has been addressed.
53. The minimum depth of sand/soil media in biofilters is 2.5 feet.
(Rev. 1)Please amend the plan to indicate 1.5ft of gravel as the underdrain. All references to the
Luckstone mix should be removed and replaced with "State Approved Mix". All underdrains
must be 6" in diameter as well. [DM]
(Rev. 2) Comment has been addressed.
54. The outlet of the facilities must be shown on the plans and cross-sections, matching the
computations.
(Rev. 1) Comment has been addressed.
55. Biofilter underdrains and cleanouts must be shown on the plans. Clean-outs are required at each
junction and 50'.
(Rev. 1) Comment has been addressed.
56. Please provide the Albemarle County general stormwater notes on the plans. Notes are provided at
the end of this comment letter.
57. The 100 yr. storm elevations are shown at a lower elevation than the 2 and 10 year storm. This
does not make sense. The critical duration storm must be used for the 100 yr. storm. Detention
requirements are for the 2 and 10 yr. storm only,the 100 yr. storm does not need to be detained.
The routings for the 100 yr. storm are required to show that the freeboard requirements are met for
facilities with embankments 3 feet in height and above.
(Rev. 1)Detention calculations for Basin 1 do not appear correct. Please clarify. In the
calculations, the crest length for SWM 4 is listed as 12ft as opposed to 2ft on the plan. Please
adjust. Freeboard requirements do not appear to be met.
(Rev. 2)Freeboard requirements appear to be met. Please show outlet protection at the base of
the redi-rock wall.
58. A SWM bond will be computed by the County once the plans have been approved.
(Rev. 1) Comment has been noted by the applicant.
(Rev. 2)Comment has been noted by the applicant.
D. Mitigation Plan
59. A mitigation plan is required for any stream buffer disturbance. Please provide a mitigation
application,plan,and fee.
a. (Rev. 1)Please provide the disturbance detail showing a shaded areas of the proposed
stream buffer disturbance so that the 0.32 acres can be confirmed. This area must match
the ESC plan. [DM]
(Rev. 2)Comment not addressed. The stream buffer at the crossing is actually 200ft
(IOOft on both sides of the stream). The stream buffer layer should be adjusted and the
• mitigation plan recalculated. Please note that the buffer disturbance line should match
the limits of disturbance on the ESC plan. There is also a discrepancy between sheet 5
and 9 to how much stream buffer has been disturbed.
b. (Rev. 1)1'lea.se submit maintenance agreement for the mitigation planting area. [DMJ
(p,,,, tine rn..,rr Ytr�tr'�tt}'rr,
c. (Rev. 1)Please provide a maintenance narrative and schedule on the plan that includes
the completion date. [DM]
(Rev. 2) Comment has not been addressed.
d. (Rev. 1) Please show adequate channels f corn each biofllter through the buffer. (DMJ
(Rev. 2) Comment has been addressed.
e. (Rev. 1) The planting locations for each of the landscape categories(canopy tree,
understor y tree, and shrub)should be heterogeneous. The shrubs, canopy trees, and
understory trees should not he grouped together in hands but mixed.
Rev ` rent has bee rrddr,-
60. A Mitigation bond will be computed by the County once the plans have been approved.
(Rev. 1) Comment has been noted.
(Rev. 2) Comment has been noted.
E. Erosion and Sediment Control Plan
61. It appears that inadequate perimeter control is provided. See comment#24.
(Rev. 1)Comment has not been addressed.
a. The construction of ST-1 will require a retaining wall. This wall needs to be the first
measure installed and should be noted in the construction sequence and shown on sheet
4.
(/?p'• 2) f'irr��:n jrf t�nc llnni� {vitrt{•n.:CPe .
b. The grading for the sediment traps 1 and 2 are not correct. It appears the grading is
being shown is the grading of the biofilters which appear on sheet 7. Please correct. It is
difficult checking the compliance with the sediment trap calculations without the
necessary grading. Additional comments may be necessary once the grading is shown.
(Rev. 2)Please remove the silt fence and note stating that silt fence is to be installed on
the uphill side of the biofilters. The biofilters will not be installed until after
stabilization. This means that builings 6, 7,and 11 will be built after site stabilization.
This should be called out more clearly on the plan so the contractor is more aware of
the phasing. Silt fence on the downhill side of SWM 3 is required. Please label
contours and show the weirs for traps 1 and 2. Volumes will be confirmed once the
contours have been labeled.
62. Silt fence must not he used across contours in place of diversion dikes. Silt fence is limited to
areas of sheet flow with 'A acre per 100ft of level on-glade silt fence.
63. Please provide ESC measures for the road improvements and sewer line improvements.

I do not see any ESC measures for the construction of the sewer line.
(Rev. 2)Comment has not been addressed. Please show silt fence for utility work in the VDOT
ROW. Please also label the contours of traps 3-6 to confirm the dimensions of the traps with
the tables. The stone weirs should also be shown.

68. Please show existing drainage divides.
(Rev. 1)The "Pre-Development Drainage Area Map" appears to be incorrect in the delineation
of area 5 and 3 and should match the map lines on the sediment trap area map. The sediment
trap drainage area map also does not seem to match the ESC plan. The drainage areas for traps
3-6 also needs to be shown in the map.
(Rev. 2) The drainage areas for traps 3-6 also needs to be shown in a map.

(Rev. 1) Comment not addressed. It appears there is a low point and inlet protection on the plans
adjacent to building 1, but there is no accompanying outlet protection or storm sewer system
proposed anywhere on the plan. This system will need a profile. Also, it appears a culvert is
needed at the site entrance off of Park View Dr. and outlet protection should be provided. A
profile of this culvert will also be needed.
(Rev. 2) Comment has not been addressed. Outlet protection is needed on both culverts at the
entrance to the site. All outlet protection should be dimensioned in the sheet set.

77. (Rev. 1)Please show tree protection to the proper VESCH standard or remove completely from
the plan if the tree protection is not required through the ZMA or other agency review. Many
trees are called out as having tree protection fencing but the placement of the fence is not shown.
The state standard requires fencing at the dripline for each tree. The site plan shows disturbances
well within the dripline.
