Dear Scott,
We have reviewed the above referenced plans and have the following comments:
Engineering (Emily Cox)
1. WPO201200024 must be approved before the road plan can be approved.
2. [Sheet C1.1] Please clarify the cross section for Fennel Road. It shows CG-6 however the layout
sheet shows roll-top curb.
3. [Sheet C2.0] There should be an existing SWM facility easement around L-1. Please show the
easement and the DB & PG.
4. Please provide spot shots to show how the water will drain near the Orion Lane and Fennel road
intersection.
5. Ensure that all horizontal curve information is labeled on the plan (not just radii).
6. Please show all applicable pavement markings and road signs (names, stop, no parking).
7. Show CG-12 ramps.
8. Sidewalk appears to stop along Orion road. Per the cross section on sheet C1.1, it appears to be
the full length of the road.
9. Trees outside of the right-of-way will need to be in an easement with a maintenance agreement.
10. Please show the existing managed slopes on the plan.
11. Drainage easement for the outfall must be public because it is draining some water from a public
road.
12. Sight distance easements appear to be necessary where sight lines are outside of the right-of-way.
Planning (Andy Reitelbach)
1. Sidewalk and planting strip must be provided along the entire lengths of both Orion Lane and Oldham
Drive, as these are public streets. These features are not currently shown along Lot 47 for Orion Lane, or
along the greenspace and Lot 56 for Oldham Drive.
2. The sidewalk along the fronts of Lots 47-56 must be 5 feet in width.
3. Is the sidewalk along Lot 40 that connects to the trail proposed to be in the right-of-way or in the lot?
Appropriate easements will be required.

4. Provide accessible ramps with the sidewalks. These must be provided at the street intersections.
5. As the sidewalk and planting strip along Old Trail Drive is depicted outside of the right-of-way, it must
have an access easement placed over it. Easements will be required for any sidewalks and planting strips
that are outside of the right-of-way.
6. Revise the landscaping plan:
a. Street trees must also be provided in the planting strips along Oldham Drive and Old Trail Drive.
b. Street trees should not be located in private lots. Any street trees that do remain on private lots must
have landscaping easements provided for their continued maintenance.
VDOT (Adam Moore)
1. See attached comment letter dated May 20, 2021.
Fire Rescue (Howard Logamarsino)
1) To accommodate emergency/fire vehicle access, emergency vehicle access road(s)/route(s) are
required.
2) An emergency/fire vehicle access road/route needs to provide a suitable surface to sustain the weight of
emergency apparatus weighing up to 85,000 lbs.
3) An emergency/fire vehicle access road/route needs to provide an unobstructed travel way width of 20
ft. if buildings/structures are under 30 feet tall and 26 ft. if buildings/structures are over 30 feet tall. If the
heights of the buildings on Fennel Road are over 30 ft, then access road must be 26 feet wide.
4) To ensure that parking does not obstruct the emergency apparatus travel way widths indicated above in
# 3, no parking signs are required.
5) Provide a note on the site plans of the required ISO fire calculation for the buildings.
6) Indicate on the site plan the latest flow test to ensure adequate fire flow per calculation in comment #
5.
7) Fire hydrants, as determined by calculations in # 5, with spacing in accordance with the required fire
flow calculation (minimum of 500 feet and arranged so that no building is more than 250 feet from a
hydrant) are required. The existing fire hydrants do not meet this requirement, so additional hydrants are
needed and need to be shown on the plan
ACSA (Richard Nelson)
1. Submit 3 copies of the utility plan to ACSA for review and approval, ATTN: Jeremy Lynn.
2. RWSA sewer capacity certification will be required.
3. Relocate BOA outside of pavement.
4. Show water meter for Lot 41.
5. ACSA will determine if utilizing the existing storm pipe is acceptable.
