Prior to initial site plan approval, the $435.00 fee must be paid. Payment must be received prior to
Wednesday, December 23, 2020. Comment addressed.
Required changes prior to final site plan approval:
2. [4.2, 4.2.3, 4.2.5, 33.44] The current design relies on critical slope disturbance throughout the site. Prior
to final site plan approval, the Board of Supervisors shall act on this special exception to permit the

to identify areas of critical slopes. However, the symbology is not used in all areas that contain critical slopes,
per Albemarle County GIS. The existing conditions, site layout, grading, and landscaping drawings will all
need to identify areas of critical slopes using symbology and callouts/labels prior to final site plan approval.

indicate the recorded instrument number of the plat (deed book and page).
11. [32.5.2(1)] Provide the location and width of any existing or proposed utilities and utility easements including
telephone, cable, electric and gas. Indicate the deed book and page reference for all exiting utility easements
located on the property.
12. [32.5.20)] Provide the deed book and page references for all existing water, sewer, wastewater or storm
drainage systems easements that are located on the property.

a. Outdoor courts.
b. Outdoor fields.
14. [32.5.2 (n)] Please provide a construction detail for the proposed dumpster enclosure. The detail needs to be
plan and profile view and indicate the types and dimensions of all construction materials used for the enclosure.

lighting note will be required.
20. [32.7.91 Please provide a landscaping plan that complies with all requirements of Section 32.7.9 on the
final site plan. This includes the following:
a. [32.7.9.4 (c)] Existing landscape features as described in this Code section.

' Engineering deems Initial Site Plan detail adequate for approval of the ISP. For Final Site Plan Approval:
1. VSMP-WPO plan must be approved prior to FSP approval. WPO202000051 is under review.
2. C5.0. C5.1: Label underground detention systems in plan /profile view, to correlate or distinguish systems
from one another.
3. C7.0:
a. Str. 106, 15" basin /vertical structure is proposed with 24" DIA upstream /downstream pipes.
Confirm this riser /pipe diameter combination works.
b. Comment 3.a. irrelevant, since: Ensure all structures ( pipes, inlets, grates, risers, MHs) within
public drainage easement/s conform with VDOT R&B standards. VDOT Std. for Nyloplast
dome grates /risers may not exist, though HDPE pipe is permissible. Replace Nyloplast risers
with VDOT Std. MH wherever they exist within public drainage easement, i.e., receive runoff
from a public road or are located downstream of a SWM facility (detention, for example, Str. 106,
for example).
c. Nyloplast (in -line v. terminal) risers may represent near -term savings, but for storm conveyance
requiring up to 24" DIA pipe up -/downstream of Nyloplast risers, Std. VDOT MH structures with
VDOT Std. grates appear a more cost -balanced approach, in the long term. Nyloplast risers are
likely less durable for systems with pipe diameter in the 18"-24" DIA range. Also, it is important
to provide storm conveyance system access via MH lid /frame, w/ steps.
d. Provide and label %:" steel plate in MH floors if vertical interval (INV IN/OUT) >4' (Str. 106, for
example). Ref. VDOT Drainage Manual, pg. 9-38. Link:
httD: //www.virginiadot. ore/business/resources/LocDes/DrainageManual/chaDter9.Ddf
4. C7.0 C7.1: Please label SWM detention systems to distinguish one from the other.
5. C0.0: Include reference to VSMP /WP0202000051.
6. C0.0: Recommend include ref. to SDP202000069.
7. C4.1: Recommend a low -profile wall (1.5'-2' ht.) between 5' walk and 24' w drive aisle adjacent to grass
seating area. Spectators may occupy walk, at times, as non -pedestrians. Patrons /guests may congregate
/stand on the walk to watch events. Immediate proximity of passing cars with no separation, and of
vehicles reversing from spaces, and an uncertain mix of young drivers -youthful spectators/club patrons
(often distracted) at this location, gives pause. Recommend provide a barrier.
Engineering Review Comments
Page 2 of 3
8. C4.2: Engineering expresses reservation with crosswalk proposed at an angle since detectable surface may
misdirect visually -impaired pedestrians to a curb, or parking space rather than to a CG-12 receiving ramp.
9. C4.2, C5.1: Revise CG-2 to CG-6 where runoff concentrates against curb, for example, drop-off lane that
connects with Lambs Lane in front of the building.
10. C5.0: With WPO, provide additional details for discharge from pipe 301. Ultimate discharge from this
portion of site is unclear. Also, revise storm pipe profile, C7.1 at this location to clarify whether pipe 301
discharges above or below grade. Any existing storm system element/s relied upon for this development
must be evaluated for fitness and capacity to limits of analysis, including, at a minimum, visual check on
integrity and condition of any existing pipes. Image below appears to indicate inverts inaccessible.

11. C5.0: With WPO, provide overview (large-scale inset) to show graphically how this portion of the site
discharges to slopes below Ivy Creek School Main Building. Evaluate these sections of existing storm
conveyance for integrity and fitness.
12. C5.1:
a. Ensure parking conforms with an available option listed at ACDSM, p. 17 (i.e., may require
bumper blocks).
b. With WPO plan, evaluate potential for erosion along channel formed by existing -proposed
contours, ensure velocity is non -erodible. Provide typ. channel section at blue line location,
below.

c. Revise angle of entry of pipe 215 into Str. 204, since angle is acute. Change in direction in flow
through a MH structure should be > 90-deg to limit potential for obstruction.
d. Handrails are required for tiered retaining walls (C5.0 C5.1) for safety, and to discourage trespass.
Engineering Review Comments
Page 3 of 3
e. Recommend handrail at building exterior, NW corner of narrow main level west wing. At this
location, an esplanade abuts a steep graded slope that falls to tiered retaining walls.
f. Reference and incorporate grading standards at 18-4.3.3 into design; please especially note
requirements at 18-4.3.3.B.1, concerning rounding off. [ Eff. 7/15/201
g. Ensure runoff from inclined paved access to 4 wooden sheds does not enter proposed dumpster
enclosure, but instead reaches Str. 208.
h. Resolve inlet Str. 206-sidewalk conflict.
i. Additional ESP review comments possible.

Re: SDP-2020-00069- Boys & Girls Club — Driver's Ed Site - ISP
Dear Mr. Langille:
The Department of Transportation, Charlottesville Residency Transportation and Land Use
Section has reviewed the Initial Site Plan for the Boys & Girls Club, Driver's Ed Site dated
March 23, 2020 as submitted by Timmons Group and offer the following comments.
1. Sheet C4/1: Three out of the four radii on the two proposed entrances are smaller than
recommended by Table 4-3 of Appendix F of the Roadway Design Manual. I recommend
you evaluate the ability of the design vehicle to effectively navigate these corners.
2. Sheet C4/2: The radii of the proposed north entrance to the proposed main building
parking lot are smaller than recommended by Table 4-3 of Appendix F of the Roadway
Design Manual. I recommend you evaluate the ability of the design vehicle to effectively
navigate these comers.
3. Sheet C4.2: Recommend Lambs Ln be milled and overlaid to the centerline at least from
the intersection with Lambs Ln/Mary Carr Greer Elementary School entrance to the far
edge of the southwest proposed entrance to the proposed drop-off/pick-up area in order to
eliminate the longitudinal joint in pavement that will result from the construction of the
drop-off/pick-up area.
4. Sheet C4.2: The proposed north entrance to the proposed main building parking lot is
very close to the intersection between Lambs Ln and Lambs LN/Mary Carr Greer
Elementary School entrance. I recommend you evaluate this for potential conflicts
between vehicles exiting the parking lot and vehicles already using the road.
Please provide a digital copy in PDF format of the revised plan along with a comment response
letter. If further information is desired, please contact Doug McAvoy Jr. at (540) 718-6113.

Mr. Langille:
As requested, I've reviewed the subject plan, dated 10/26/20, the Albemarle County GIS
database, as well as VDH records on file. It appears there are no existing onsite septic
systems or wells associated with this parcel, and all new construction will be connected
to public sewer & water systems. Therefore, I have no concerns or objections to the
preliminary plat.
If there are any questions or concerns, please give me a call, 434-972-4306.
