RE: SDP - 2005 -0014 Grace Community Church Preliminary Site Plan
Dear Sir:
Fax (434) 972 -4126
The Department of Community Development hereby grants administrative approval to the above - referenced
site plan.
The approval of the preliminary site plan is valid for (1) one year in accordance with Zoning Ordinance
Section 32.4.3.1. Therefore, the preliminary approval shall expire May 18, 2006. If the preliminary site plan
approval expires, a new application must be filed and processed.
Please address all of the requirements and conditions listed below and submit eight (8) tentative plan copies
to the Department of Community Development. This letter must be submitted with the tentative plans, as a
checklist, to document that you have addressed all requirements or conditions, or the tentative plan will be
denied.
The Erosion and Sediment Control Plan and the BMP Stormwater Management Plan, with the associated
applications and fees, may also be submitted with the eight (8) tentative Plans. Failure to do so will result in
a separate application to be filed with the Department of Community Development at a later date.
After the initial tentative plan submittal, each department /agency will contact you to discuss any remaining
conditions. After all aforementioned department /agencies have granted a tentative approval, you may submit
the final mylars (2 sets), two paper copies, final site plan application, final site plan fee, and a copy of all
written tentative approvals to the Department of Community Development. Signing of the plans will occur
within one week once it is determined that the final site plan mylars reflect all tentative approvals.
The final site plan will be subject to all final site plan requirements (Zoning Ordinance Section 32.6), in
addition to the following conditions.
The Zoning & Current Development Division shall not accept submittal of the final site plan for
signature until tentative approvals for the following conditions have been obtained. The final site
plan shall not be signed until the following conditions are met:
❑ A. Planner approval to include:
❑ 1. [32.6.3] Approval of a landscape plan in compliance with Section 32.7.9. and,
❑ 2. Compliance with all conditions of SP- 2004 -023, in particular the conservation plan,
landscaping requirements, and road dedication requirements. and,
❑ 3. [32.6.60)] Submittal of a description and photograph or diagram and show the
location of each type of outdoor luminaire that emits 3,000 or more initial lumens.
Please be aware that installation of such luminaires in the future that are not shown
on this plan shall require an amendment to this plan. and,
❑ 4. [32.6.60)] [4.17.4(b)] Submittal of a photometric plan on the site plan
demonstrating that parking area luminaires are in compliance with 4.17.4 b.
❑ B. Engineer approval to include:
❑ 1. The engineering review for current development needs to review and approve all
applicable items as specified in the Design Standards Manual, section 902, before
recommending tentative approval to the final site plan. and,
❑ 2. The Erosion Control Plan will need more detail and improvements for final
approval. Please size all ESC structures for appropriate drainage area. Please
include all areas of disturbance in ESC plan. The Drainfields must be in the limits
of disturbance.
❑ C. Groundwater Manager approval to include:
The following revisions should be addressed for the Final Groundwater Management Plan, which is
required prior to the Site Plan approval for the Grace Community Church.
❑ 1. Surface drainage and divides should be apparent and labeled in map form. I believe
the addition of the drainage divides on Figure 1 will fulfill this requirement and,
❑ 2. Please provide a table or spreadsheet of the water well data within the 1000'
surrounding zone of the site. Include flow rates, well depth, depth to bedrock or
casing length, and water level where these data are present and,
❑ 3. Please include your Virginia Certified Professional Geologist seal on the report.
❑ D. Virginia Department of Transportation approval to include:
❑ 1. A drainage easement is necessary where the 30" culvert outfalls on the opposite side
of route 606. An easement may exist, however it needs to be labeled and,
❑ 2. Standard erosion control stone, EC -1 will be required at the outlets of both pipes
and,
❑ 3. The entrance landing will need to be redesigned with a negative 2% leaving route
606 rather than the positive grade of 4% as shown and,
❑ 4. The entrance radii should be increased to 25'.
Please contact me at your earliest convenience if you have any questions or require additional information.
Sincerely,
Francis H. MacCall
