Provide GR-1 for all parking, north of hotel, and for the five parking spaces proposed along the west edge of the parking lot. 23. Provide and label CG-6. Ref. recent meeting /discussion (Ecovillage Charlottesville; see 18-4.12.15.p.) 24. Label proposed terrain contours. 25. Show existing sanitary sewer. 26. Show proposed gas line service. 27. Show proposed /existing waterlines. 28. Show roof leader line connections to SWM. 29. Provide LD-204, LD-229, and storm line profiles. 30. Ensure positive drainage away from patio, and port cochere. 31. Ensure underground SWM system can be installed or replaced without encroaching on nearest retaining wall. See easement diagram, ACDSM, pg. 15. 32. Show and label railings for retaining walls, N and S sides of hotel, including highest elev. of 3-tier walls. 33. Show proposed grading required for retaining walls; for example: walls near Rt. 250 do not tie to existing grade. Tie proposed grading for retaining walls to existing grade. 34. Provide design to capture weep hole drainage at base of tiered walls. 35. Label radius of dashed -circle at lower parking elevation, an area for fire -rescue apparatus turnaround. 36. Engineering anticipates ACF&R request for on -site fire hydrant, given 230' and 270' distance to Ex. FHs, east and west of site. Engineering defers to ACF&R. 37. Ensure UG SWM Facility cover is adequate for fire -rescue apparatus (-66 ton apparatus). 38. C2 existing contours indicate a natural stormwater conveyance exists along N property boundary. Design shows -30-ft. wall near this (off -site /US Rt. 250) natural storm (conveyance) channel. Accommodate Ex. drainage easement /gully /culvert, bk.-pg. 3045-558 (see, below_). Walls may not encroach Ex. easement/s. 7MP 4784PO4-40-013A4 DRAINAGE EASEMENT V DRAINAGE EASEMENT D B. 407. .� D.B. 1132, PG. 118 r----- PG. 86JPLAT)OUL1 -T-� SEE SEE DETAIL/I! ---------_N69�.iC-ems --r'�� r�1; Lt �DETAIL#2 !

Provide spot elevations to ensure positive drainage and no nuisance ponding in parking areas. 40. Obtain /record and show temporary construction and/or permanent grading easements required to construct retaining walls (RW) on S side of hotel. Note: segmental block RW design would require one or both, and would also require a Maintenance Easement on TMP 78-73B 1 (installation /repair /replacement of geogrid). Engineering Review Comments Page 3 of 4 41. Provide sealed geotechnical retaining wall design to Engineering prior to FSP approval. 42. Wall ht. >3-ft. requires a building permit; ht. >4-ft. requires sealed geotechnical retaining wall (RW,) design. 43. Show grading and paved storm runoff channel along top of retaining wall on N side of hotel (paved since fill section); provide grading and paved runoff channels along top of retaining walls on S side of hotel (paved given steepness /length of slopes above walls). Also, item 55, below. 44. Show waterline connection to proposed 15' fountain. 45. Provide one or more grate -style drains for 15' fountain, for incidental water that may create hazard. 46. Ensure proposed grading on managed steep slopes at west end of site conforms with any applicable construction standard listed at 18-30.7.5 (benched grading may be required). 47. Provide armored design for channel created by proposed /existing grade, west end of site. Also, item 43. C5 48. Engineering recommends additional landscape screening on N side of hotel, above the retaining wall to discourage trespass. A fall from 30' height presents risk of injury or death. 49. Note: Additional landscape plantings should discourage trespass, but not compromise wall design. 50. Note (WPO plan -related): For slopes steeper than 3:1, propose vegetative cover hardier than grass that does not require mowing, and that requires minimal (if any) maintenance. 51. Provide plant schedule. 52. Ensure plant types proposed near base of 3-tier wall along S boundary near US Rt. 250 do not compromise integrity of wall; recommend consider whether proposed plant types will thrive in this narrow space. 53. Ensure Min. 2' clearance between FC and'h mature tree trunk DIA for 15 parking spaces, S side of site. C6: 54. Provide typical details, including VDOT IS-1, SL-I. 55. Provide paved storm runoff (RW) channel detail. 56. Provide water /sanitary sewer details. 57. Provide roof leader line detail. 58. Provide VDOT GR-1 detail. 59. Provide stairway detail/s. 60. Provide standard handrail detail (VDOT HR-1) for retaining wall on N side of hotel; decorative railing is insufficient, given wall height. 61.
