Scott,
We have reviewed the above referenced plans and have the following comments:
Engineering (Emily Cox)
1. Professional seal should be signed and dated.
2. Provide detail for driveway entrances in the alley with the roll-top curbing: Figure B-22
http://www.virginiadot.org/business/resources/appendb.pdf
3. Provide transitioning detail for roll top curbing in front of inlets.
4. Topography should be at least visually field verified within the last year. Cover sheet says Aug
2018.
5. Ensure all sheets provide a North arrow (one example, Sheet 8 is missing).
6. Provide horizontal curve information (start points, end points) on plan view. Radii were shown.
7. Ensure all necessary pavement markings are shown.
8. Street trees should be placed as far away from storm sewer as possible and should not be touching.
Trees in front of lots 69-70 are too close. There may be others.
9. Show existing managed slopes on all applicable sheets, not just existing conditions.
10. Double check all contour labels. One in the open space should be 550 and is labeled 540.
11. Show the SWM facility easement (and any other easements).
12. Ensure ADA requirements are met. All necessary crossings do not appear to be shown.
13. Provide signed and sealed retaining wall plans, especially for the alley, where the walls are very
close to adjacent property. Please note that retaining walls will need building permits.
14. The minimum drainage easement width is 20ft. Some 1 Oft are shown on this plan.
15. Will the 5ft pathway throughout the site have an easement/deed? Provide a type and thickness on
the detail for the asphalt. (Sheet 10).
16. Sight distance lines cannot go through parking spaces. Also, ensure the correct required sight
distances are shown for all intersections.
17. Sidewalk detail should specify concrete that is 3000 psi at 28 days or stronger.
18. YD4A-YD4 has a velocity over the 15 ft/s maximum allowed by the County.
19. Ensure all proffers and conditions associated with the ZMA are addressed. These are outlined in
planning comments from Chris Perez.

Engineering Review Comments

Based on a current corridor study of Avon St Extended, the draft plan identifies a 10 foot asphalt
shared -use path on Avon St Extended. The Development Concept Plan identifies a 8 foot concrete
sidewalk. Recommendation is for a 10 foot asphalt shared -use path on Avon St Extended.
Requested Changes:
1. Extend all sidewalks/shared-use paths on Avon St Extended and Scottsville Rd to property
line.
2. Sidewalk on Scottsville Rd on both sides of entrance to be 8 foot concrete sidewalk.
Planning (Chris Perez)
1. See attached comment letter dated 11/8/19.
VDOT (Adam Moore)
1. See attached comment letter dated 11/26/19.
Fire Rescue (Shawn Maddox)
1. No objection.
ACSA (Jeremy Lynn)
1. Currently under review per email dated 11/19/19.
GIS (Andrew Slack)
1. The applicant should contact this office with a list of three (3) proposed road names to replace
"Warkwick Court". There is an existing road named "Warwick Court" and the similarities
between these road names could cause problems for emergency response.
ARB (Margaret Maliszewski)
1. Landscaping must be consistent with ARB approved landscaping. A final ARB site plan submittal
is required.
Engineering plan review staff are available from 2-4 PM on Thursdays, should you require a meeting to
discuss this review.
If you have any questions or concerns, please contact me either by email (ecox2@albemarle.org) or by
phone at 434-296-5832 ext. 3565.
Sincerely,
Emily Cox, P.E.
