Craig,
We have reviewed the plans and have the following comments:
Engineering
1. Provide an easement on the gravel emergency access. (Rev. 1) Comment addressed.
2. Provide a minimum of F between the back of walk and ROW. (Rev. 1) Comment addressed.
3. Remove trees from on top of pipes and beside structures. (Rev. 1) Comment not addressed. The
landscape plan still shows several trees on or too close to structures and pipes. It is also
difficult to see the proposed structures with the light linework. (Rev. 2) Comment not
addressed. (Rev. 3) Comment pending revised utility layout.
4. Include on the plans the Public Road Acceptance Procedure and the As -built Road Plan Policy.
(Rev. 1) Comment addressed.
Revision 3 Comments
5. The plans will need to be revised per the VSMP plan changes and the utility layout changes.

Comments:
The Albemarle County Road Naming and Property Numbering Ordinance and Manual limit the number
of road names that can begin with the same word to five, and "New" exceeds the limit. The guidelines
also restrict road names that duplicate an existing road name, unless it is a dead-end street with the same
name as the road from which it originates. Albemarle County has a Cardinal Drive, so Cardinal Lane is
not an acceptable road name here.
Margarita Lane, Wardell Crest and Dave Matthews Crest are all acceptable road names and have been
placed on the Albemarle County Reserved Road Name List. Please update the site plan with these names
or provide this office with additional road names for review. Please update the site plan with these names
or provide this office with additional road names for review.

The project is still under review by ACSA. Fire Rescue and ARB have no objection.
Engineering plan review staff are available from 2-4 PM on Thursdays, should you require a meeting to
discuss this review.
Process;
After approval, plans will need to be bonded. The bonding process is begun by submitting a bond
estimate request form and fee to the Department of Community Development. One of the plan reviewers
will prepare estimates and check parcel and easement information based on the approved plans. The
County's Management Analyst will prepare bond agreement forms, which will need to be completed by
the owner and submitted along with cash, certificates or sureties for the amounts specified. The
agreements will need to be approved and signed by the County Attorney and County Engineer. This may
take 2-4 weeks to obtain all the correct signatures and forms.
Stormwater Management Facilities Maintenance agreements will also need to be completed and recorded
The County's Management Analyst or other staff will prepare the forms and check for ownership and
signature information. The completed forms will need to be submitted along with court recording fees.
After bonding and agreements are complete, county staff will need to enter project information in a DEQ
database for state application processing. DEQ will review the application information based on local
VSMP authority approval. At this time, the DEQ portion of the application fees will need to be paid
directly to the state. For fastest processing, this is done electronically with the emails provided on the
application. DEQ should notify applicants with instructions on how to pay fees. When DEQ approves
the application, they will issue a permit coverage letter. This should be copied to the county.
After DEQ coverage is issued, via the coverage letter, the County can hold a pre -construction conference.

Applicants will need to complete the request for a pre -construction conference form, and pay the
remainder of the application fee. The form identifies the contractor and responsible land disturber, and
the fee remaining to be paid. This will be checked by county staff, and upon approval, a pre -construction
conference will be scheduled with the County inspector. At the pre -construction conference, should
everything proceed satisfactorily, a joint VSMP and grading permit will be issued by the County so that
work may begin.
County forms can be found on the county website forms center under engineering;
