Engineering has reviewed the final site plan, and offers the following comments. (Rev. 1) Please note: Several
review comment persists (items 4 5), majority of prior Engineering review comments are addressed. (Rev. 2) Only
review item 5 remains.
Sheet 1
1. A road plan needs to be approved prior to final site plan approval, SUB202000004 is under review. (Rev.
1) Addressed, Note: Revised Road Plan submitted 9/27/20,
2. Ensure FSP is consistent with road plan, final plat (SUB202000071), and approved WPO201900050. (Rev.
1) Addressed. Applicant response (9/16/20 letter): `The FSP is now consistent with the revised Road Plan.'
3. Sheet 2, Note 5: Recommend correct typos at `195' and `performs'. (Rev. 1) Addressed,
4. Sheet 3: Revise graphic depiction of CG-12 ramps in radial curbs, similar to revised CG-12 shown on the
MJH Apartments FSP. (Rev. 1) Not addressed. Please depict similar to MJH Apartments FSP,
SDP202000023, Sheet 4 . [image removed with Rev. 2 comment] (Rev. 2) Addressed.
Sheets 3, 4
5. Provide copy of recorded Retaining Wall Maintenance Agreement for retaining walls that cross subdivision
lot lines. We appreciate deed db. _ pg. _ labels on the FSP. (Rev. 1) Persists. Applicant: `A copy of
the recorded Retaining Wall Maintenance Agreement shall be provided as soon as it is recorded.' (Rev. 2)
Persists. Scott Collins email recognizes this (December 14, 2020 5:41 PM), it reads it part: `I would like to
confirm all other comments have been addressed, except for ... and adding the deed book /page info.' Also,
S. Collins email (December 14, 2020 5:37 PM) is helpful: `We need to first get the road plan approved,
then record the subdivision plat, update the site plan with the recordation information for the final site plan,
and then resubmit the site plan for approval.'
(Rev. 1) Remaining review comments (items 6-17) are addressed.
6. Show and label public drainage easements using a lighter line -type (similar to proposed sight distance
easements). Public drainage easements appear to cross portions of Lots 23, 24, 43, 47, 29, and 30.
Sheet 4
Engineering Review Comments
Page 2 of 2
7. Empire Street: Revise per Planning Division Road Plan review comment to provide a 6' planting strip
between bump out parking spaces and sidewalk. Engineering support Planning Div. Road Plan review
comment.
8. Add sheet 9 detail reference for `proposed dry curb' (Int. Swede /Marsac) since meaning of label is unclear.
9. Label post /embedment bollard detail, upper-righthand corner. Provide additional bollards: 6' OC, max.
10. Sheet 6: Provide public drainage easement for Lot 23 (every other lot with public drainage easement
appears covered) —thank you.
11. Sheet 8: Proposed grade directs (lawn surface) runoff to retaining walls on Lot 31, and Lots 35-42. In
addition to proposed private roof drain system, provide runoff conveyance that redirects surface runoff
away from back face of retaining walls on these lots. Runoff may not simply sheet over the top of walls.
Sheet 9
12. Revise cross-section for Empire Street to show bump out parking with planting strip, if a 6' planting strip
between these parking spaces and sidewalks persists as a Planning comment. A text block is insufficient
guide and may confuse if intended to modify a cross-section. A graphic cross-section must adequately
depict design of Empire Street through portions with and without bump out parking.
13. Provide VDOT (or equivalent) details for:
a. Retaining wall safety railing
b. Pipe bedding (concrete)
c. Pipe bedding (HDPE)
d. Inlet shaping (IS-1)
e. %" steel plate (Str. 6, 8, etc.)
f. MH steps (ST-1)
g. dry curb
h. Ex. cemetery proposed black decorative fence with gate details.
14. Sheet 14: Label Str. 6, 8, etc. (vertical drop >4') to receive V2" steel plate in floor of MIT
15. Sheets 4, 6, 20: Recommend label references to cemetery decorative fencing /gate (civil) details.
16. Sheet 19 Note 1: Indicate slopes > 3:1 will be planted with native steep slope mix with annual ryegrass.
Please provide additional detail as well as plan notes that indicate this is not a `grass' mix that requires
periodic mowing. Provide specific details. Please ref. ACDSM 8.A.2. for vegetative ground cover
requirements to plant proposed slopes steeper than 3:1 with species which will not require mowing.
17. Compare design of proposed public drainage easements against ACDSM required width equation:
Required width: 10'+(pipe dia. or channel width) + 2'+ 2(depth-5'). Recommend easement table.
Please feel free to call if any questions: 434.296-5832-x3069.
