1. Cl, Stormwater Management Notes: Please ref. WPO201800084, Royal Fern Phase 2 rather than a regional
stormwater facility (in addition to referencing more recent ZMA201900003). Engineering will evaluate
WPO plan for Albemarle Business Campus WPO plan against information and stormwater data approved
with WPO201800084. WPO plan approval for ABC is not automatic with ZMA201900003 approval or
satisfied by reference to regional stormwater facilities for blocks 2-5. WPO plan approval is required for
ABC FSP approval. This development is subject to same or similar SWM program review requirements
and criteria as applied to WPO201800084. Also, see Engineering email to Shimp Engineering, 11/12/2020
2:56 PM, and November 12, 2020 12:04 PM. Please submit WPO plan for ABC at earliest convenience.
(FSP) NA / WPO202000058 is approved (3/17/21) for ABC blocks 2-5, including off -site export /import
from ABC (future development) block 1.
2. It appears that design relies on fewer parking spaces than required by ordinance. There is potential for ISP
disapproval with significant revision required prior even to approval of ISP (with conditions). (FSP) May
persist. Engineering defers to Planning/Zoning. Applicant response (3/22/21 letter): `We are working
through a parking reduction request with Zoning.'
With final site plan:
3. C5: Revise existing improvements shown on TMP 76-46C L See image below (C5 v. a'-"'�:-)
[satellite imagery removed with ESP comments ] (FSP) Addressed.
4. CS C6
a. Label managed steep slopes. (FSP) Addressed.
a. Existing grade appears to indicate a SWM facility in vicinity of feature labeled rip -rap. With
WPO, address any SWM quality -quantity implications of removing any existing SWM facility
with proposed development. (FSP) Addressed. Applicant: `Noted, this was addressed in approved
WPO plan [WPO202000058], notes copied to SDP.'
6. C7
a. Recommend provide sidewalk access to westernmost 24-apt 3-story building via internal sidewalk
rather than walk within public RW along Country Green Road since this is facility to be used by
It.

residents for every trip between vehicle and apartment. This route so near a public road provides
inherent risk, risk analogous to requiring owners of single-family dwellings to transit walk within
public RW to travel between parked car in driveway and dwelling entrance. (FSP) May persist
(future). Applicant: `Noted, if necessary in the future, we will address this comment with the
potential multifamily final site plan.'
If apartment building access is via sidewalk along Country Green Road and ordinance requires
illumination from parking to dwelling entrance, provide adequate lighting. Engineering defers to
Planning, while reiterating safety concerns for residents if forced to rely on a walk within public
RW of Country Green Road. (FSP) May persist (future). Applicant: `Noted, if necessary in the
future, Pedestrian access will be provided with an internal sidewalk, to be addressed with the
multifamily final site plan.'
Label site entrance radii and relevant entrance geometry. (FSP) Partially addressed. Applicant:
`Site entrance radii and relevant entrance geometry are now labeled on the site plan sheet.' As
follow-up: Proffered roundabout at intersection of Old Lynchburg Road and Fifth Street cannot be
built with current ABC block 5 design. Revise block 5 entrance on Old Lynchburg (OL) Road to
accommodate ZMA201900003 proffered future roundabout geometry. Images may be helpful.
Sheet 2, SDP202100022 (per ZMA201900003) potential 150' inscribed diameter single -lane
roundabout: Please compare —130' distance needed to construct slip lane to point of transition
with OL Road RW, with sheet 6 —100' distance, Fifth St. to OL Road entrance. In other words,
constructing the roundabout requires OL Road block 5 site entrance to be positioned farther north
than shown.

office, and retail space typically (likely) require dumpster pads. Engineering defers to Planning.
(FSP) Addressed.

that allows site access. Existing legal instrument (201800013730) presents obsolete image.
Provide instrument specific to current geometric design of Wahoo Way. (FSP) Persists.
Applicant: `A new access easement will be recorded prior to final site plan approval.'

Additional FSP review comments:
14. Note: Permeable concrete pavers at dynamic transport plaza do not constitute a required WPO plan design
feature, and Engineering does not object to removal of permeable concrete pavers at this location. Please
ref. WPO202000058 for approved SWM-related design (Note: WPO202000058 relies on an off -site pond,
located at Fifth Street Place residential development, for SWM).
15. C7: Provide storm runoff capture /conveyance for block I design at point runoff leaves 5.0% paved drive
aisle, blue arrow, image, below:
