RE: Foothill Crossing Phase V — SUB2020-00021
Dear Matt:
Thank you for your comments dated June 9, 2020. Revised plans are hereby submitted
incorporating the following changes in response to the items in your letter:
Engineering:
1. The WPO is approved, pending the additional information on the overall VSMP coverage
of this site in conjunction with Foothills II and Glenbrook. This information is being
submitted today as well for review and approval.
2. The drainage easements have been labeled on sheet 5 as private and public, depending on
the location of the easement and if it carries run-off from the VDOT right of way.
3. The overland relief path has been shown and added to the plans on sheet 5, and labeled
accordingly.
4. As discussed on the phone, notes have been added to sheet 5 indicating and noting that
the bollards shall be installed at the end of Park Ridge Drive within Glenbrook Phase I.
The notes also indicate that the bollards will be moved and relocated as the construction
of Park Ridge Drive is extended.
5. As discussed, a note about the emergency access road has been added to sheet 3 and sheet
5 to clearly indicate the installation of the Emergency access road to Glenbrook Phase I.
Planning:
1. This comment is not necessary, as it is a requirement for all road plans to be consistent
with the alignment of the road that is part of the approval process of the final site plan.
And, all the site information will be reviewed and approved with the site plan.
2. Comment previously addressed.
3. Comment previously addressed.
4. The landscaping plan sheet has been updated to match the final site plan landscaping
sheet, which also addresses the required Canopy Tree Coverage. Keep in mind, the
overall canopy tree coverage is a requirement for the final site plan.
5. The location of the bollards and the extension of the emergency access road has been
addressed per the communications between CE and Engineering. Notes have been added
to sheets 3 and 5 indicating that the emergency access road will be extended to the limits
of Glenbrook Phase I, which is an approved, bonded, and constructed roadway. Notes
have also been added to the plans indicating that if the roadway extensions are approved,
bonded, and constructed, the emergency access road will tie-in at the termination of the
improvements, and the location of the removable bollards will be relocated to this
termination point. The note on the road plans for the infrastructure has been updated to
reference the road plans for this infrastructure. This infrastructure should be approved,
since the WPO was approved. However, it is not being constructed at this time, as the
developer as changed directions on what will be developed in this area. The plans, as
shown and noted on sheets 3 and 5, address the emergency access requirements for
current conditions and future conditions.
6. The sidewalk waiver was approved, this comment has been satisfied.
7. Comment previously addressed.
8. Comment previously addressed.
9. The DB and PG reference has been added to the plans for the recordation of the
offsite emergency access easement. Typically, this is a requirement of the final
subdivision plat and final site plan, as the road plan approval sets up the approvals of
these items. However, the offsite easement plat should be ready for recordation now, so
the timing is fine and this information can be written in with the submission of the final
road plan for signatures.
10. The Cover sheet has been updated to match the site plan information which addresses this
comment as well.
Please contact me if you have any questions or require any further information.
Sincerely,
Scott Collins, PE
