B rya n,
We have reviewed the plans and have the following comments:
Engineering
1. Show sight distance triangles and profiles for the internal travelways.
2. The underground storage facility A will need to be removed from beneath the parking
and travelway in front of Lots 71 and 72 and relocated outside of any travelways or
where its repair/replacement will affect a travelway. Engineering recommends it be
moved to behind lots like SWIM B.
3. Alley 2 is shown with an inverse crown. Provide inlets in the alley to prevent stormwater
from exiting the alley and flowing across the connected travelways.
4. Provide stop signs for intersections involving the private road and Alley 3.
5. Show and label the road name signs.
6. Provide vertical curves on grade transitions in the alleys.
7. Provide a level area adjacent to parking (such as on Alley 1) so residents are not exiting
their vehicle directly on to a slope.
8. The landscaping plan is not being reviewed or approved with these plans, only the street
tree locations relative to the storm system. The proposed trees should not be located
directly next to inlets (such as on Road 1).

Critical Issues: Private Road, Alley 1, 2, & 3 will require road names for E911 addressing.
Comments: The access ways designated on the plan as "Private Road", "Alley 1 ", "Alley 2" and
"Alley 3" will require road names for addressing assigning purposes. Per the Albemarle County
Road Naming and Property Numbering Ordinance, Sec. 7-200, Part B (page 2 of the PDF):
"It is intended by this article that all roads within the county which serve or are designed to
serve three (3) or more dwelling units or business structures shall be named..."
Please provide this office at least three alternative road names for each road to review, in case
your first choices are not acceptable. The Albemarle County Master Road Names Directory of
existing road names (which cannot be duplicated) can be accessed at the link in the Resources
section below.

Please confirm segments of the travel ways that are 20' or less of unobstructed travel way are
marked no parking.
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 be bonded. The bonding process begins when the plan is
approved, and the applicant submits a bond estimate request form and fee to the Department
of Community Development. A plan reviewer 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 to the
County, who will record the agreement.
After bonding and agreements are complete, county staff enters project information in a DEQ
database for state application processing, if a DEQ permit is required. DEQ reviews 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, which must be posted at the construction site.
After DEQ coverage is issued, via the coverage letter, the County can hold a pre -construction
conference. Applicants must 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, ajoint 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;
