WPO201200024 must be approved before the road plan can be approved. Rev. 1: Comment not addressed. 2. [Sheet C 1.1] Please clarify the cross section for Fennel Road. It shows CG-6 however the layout sheet shows roll-top curb. Rev. 1: Comment addressed. 3. [Sheet C2.0] There should be an existing SWM facility easement around L-L Please show the easement and the DB & PG. Rev. 1: Response said there is no easement, however is there a SWM agreement? If so, please provide DB & PG. 4. Please provide spot shots to show how the water will drain near the Orion Lane and Fennel road intersection. Rev. 1: Comment addressed. 5. Ensure that all horizontal curve information is labeled on the plan (not just radii). Rev. 1: Comment addressed. 6. Please show all applicable pavement markings and road signs (names, stop, no parking). Rev. 1: Comment addressed. 7. Show CG-12 ramps. Rev. 1: Comment addressed. 8. Sidewalk appears to stop along Orion road. Per the cross section on sheet C 1. 1, it appears to be the frill length of the road. Rev. 1:Comment letter said waiver was being pursued to remove sidewalk, but plan still showed sidewalk. Did you mean waiver for the planting strip? Please clarify. 9. Trees outside of the right-of-way will need to be in an easement with a maintenance agreement. Rev. 1: Comment addressed. 10. Please show the existing managed slopes on the plan. Rev. 1: Comment addressed. 11. Drainage easement for the outfall must be public because it is draining some water from a public road. Rev. 1: Public easement only needed from structure 306 and on. 12. Sight distance easements appear to be necessary where sight lines are outside of the right-of-way. Rev. 1: Comment addressed. 13. Rev. 1: Sidewalk along Fennel Road should be in the right-of-way. Engineering Review Comments Page 2 of 3 Planning (Andy Reitelbach) Rev. 1: See comment letter dated Oct 6, 2021 VDOT (Adam Moore) 1. See attached comment letter dated May 20, 2021. Rev. 1: See attached letter. Fire Rescue (Howard Logamarsino) Rev. 1: 1) Your response correspondence shows you increased the width of Fennel Road to 26 ft. to accomodate building height issues and Orion Lane as 30 ft fc/fc. The submitted plans with seal dated 8/20/2021 show Fennel as 20 ft wide and Orion as 26 ft wide. Please clarify, correct as appropriate. 2) Thank you for providing the no parking signs to delineate the no parking areas to ensure obstructions to the required fire apparatus road width does not occur, however, in light of comment # 1, clarification of the issues brought out in comment #1 affect the need for and the placement of these signs. After addressing comment # 1, please ensure the no parking signs are arranged appropriately (where road is too narrow to allow parking on both sides, no parking signs are required where parking is to be limited to prevent fire apparatus access road width obstruction). 3) Based on the calculated ISO fire flow, the hydrant spacing required is no more than 500 feet between hydrants and arranged so that no structure is more than 250 feet from a hydrant. On the plans with a seal date of 8/20/2021, the units on Fennel Road, near the dead end, exceed this. Your resonse correspondence indicates adding a hydrant at the end of Fennel, but I am not finding it on these plans. A hydrant at the dead of Fennel fulfills the requirement, a more practical location for fire operations is the corner of Fennel Rd and Orion. If it must go at the dead end of Fennel, palcing it at or before the turn is preferred. 4) Hydrant on Orion lane at Golf View is several feet off the road, across what appears to be a grass/planting strip and sidewalk. Landscaping will obstruct this hydrant, make it difficult to find and imparctical to operate. Moving the hydrant closer to the curb is more practical and will eliminate any question of its suitability for consideration as meeting the requirements of the code. ACSA (Richard Nelson) 1. Rev. 1: See attached letter dated Oct 1, 2021. GIS (Elise Keiwra) 1. Rev. 1: Per site plan dated 4/26/21, Orion Lane is existing road, please update and pages that say Orion Lane Extended to Orion Lane ARB (Margaret Maliszewski) 1. No objection. The ARB determined that ARB review/approval of this portion of the development is not required.

Flow Acceptance required from the RWSA. Provide anticipated schedule for full build -out of this block. This request will need to be made by the ACSA. 2. Completion of One -Year Warranty items for Old Trail Village Block 32 Off -Site Waterline required prior to final approval. 3. Recordation of Deed of Easement and Plat required for Old Trail Village Block 32 required prior to final approval. 4. ACSA now requires the recordation of a Deed of Easement for on -site utilities prior to the release of the first water meter. Sheet C1.0 1. Provide updated ACSA General Water & Sewer Conditions. Sheet C1.2 1. Remove Large Meter Service Line detail. 2. Remove Typical Meter Vault (1 !4" Meter) detail. 3. Remove Typical Meter Vault detail. 4. Provide updated Typical Service Lateral Installation detail. Sheet C2.0 1. Clearly indicate removal of existing manholes. 2. Clarify if the existing sanitary sewer will be removed or abandoned in place. If abandoned in place, flowable fill required. Sheet C5.0 1. Connection cannot be made at the existing 12"xl2" tee at the intersection of Golf View Drive and Orion Lane. Shift to the east and show connection with 12"x8" TS&V. 2. Consider shifting the water main along Orion Lane to the opposite side of the roadway to shorten the length of water services. Be sure 10 feet of horizontal separation with the sanitary sewer is maintained. 168 Spotnap Road - Charlottesville, VA 22911 - Phone (434) 977-4511 - Fax (434) 979-0698 www.serviceauthority.org 3. Relocate FH along Orion Lane to the front side of the sidewalk. It may be appropriate to cut the existing water main and reduce for the valve and fire hydrant. 4. Double taps can be utilized for single family attached lots. 5. Consider placement of a fire hydrant at the end of Fennel Road to ensure adequate fire protection. Maximum fire hydrant spacing is 500 feet. 6. The ACSA is unwilling to allow the use of the existing storm sewer to serve as the casing pipe for the water main crossing under Old Trail Drive. The most appropriate alignment seems to be a crossing of Old Trail Drive north of Lot 39 off the end of Fennel Road. Show water connection over to the existing 12-inch diameter water main on the east side of Old Trail Drive. 7. Provide lot numbers on Utility Plan sheet. 8. Sewer design revisions at the intersection of Fennel Road and Orion Lane. The sanitary sewer between MH's 2 and 3 is too close to the units. Therefore, an additional manhole should be placed just upstream of MH Ex. 1 and then shift MH 3 into the strip between the curb and the sidewalk. 9. Sewer lateral for Lot 30 shall connect into exiting manhole. 10. Label existing manhole at the intersection of Orion Lane as OIdTrIVil-23-1. This manhole will likely need to be replaced due to revised pipe angle leaving manhole. 11. Label existing manhole along Fennel Road as OldTrIVil-37-1. This manhole will likely need to be replaced due to revised pipe angle leaving manhole. Sheet C6.1 1. Eliminate this sheet from the ACSA's submittal. Sheet C7.1 1. Sanitary sewer between MH's 3 and Ex. shall be ductile iron. 2. Update existing invert elevations: a. Upper Existing MH Invert Out — 670.29' b. Lower Existing MH Invert In — 668.74' Sheet C9.1 1. Eliminate this sheet from the ACSA's submittal. Sheet L1.0 1. Revise street tree locations to achieve 10 feet of horizonal separation with ACSA utilities.

Brich, P.E. 1401 East Broad Street Commissioner Richmond, Virginia 23219 August 25, 2021 County of Albemarle Department of Community Development 401 McIntire Road Charlottesville, VA 22902 Attn: Emily Cox Re: Old Trail Block 7C — Road Plan SUB-2021-00084 Review #2 Dear Ms. Cox: (804) 7862701 Fax: (804) 7862940 The Department of Transportation, Charlottesville Residency Transportation and Land Use Section, has reviewed the above referenced plan as prepared by the Timmons Group, dated 20 August 2021, and offers the following comments: 1. In Mr. Fox's comment response letter dated 23 August 2021, he indicated he wanted to allow parking on one side of Orion Ln Ext. The spacing of driveways and intersections will prevent parking on the west side of the street, and the "No Parking" signs (added with this revision) will prevent parking on the other side. As designed, there will be no parking on Orion Ln Ext. 2. All traffic on private streets must stop before entering a public street. This includes traffic on Fennel Rd crossing Orion Ln Ext through the intersection at the north end of the subdivision. Please add "Stop" signs to show this. 3. The proposed sidewalk parallel to Oldham Dr is outside of the right-of-way. This sidewalk will not be maintained by VDOT unless a right-of-way dedication is made that includes this sidewalk in the Oldham Dr right-of-way. 4. Note that the final plan must show conformance with the VDOT Road Design Manual Appendices B(1) and F, as well as any other applicable standards, regulations, or other requirements. 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. VirginiaDOT.org WE KEEP VIRGINIA MOVING August 25, 2021 Attn: Emily Cox A VDOT Land Use Permit will be required prior to any work within the right-of-way. The owner/developer must contact the Charlottesville Residency Transportation and Land Use Section at (434) 422-9399 for information pertaining to this process. Sincerely, Adam J. Moore, P.E. Area Land Use Engineer Charlottesville Residency Phone 434-296-5832 County of Albemarle Department of Community Development 401 McIntire Road, Charlottesville, VA 22902 Memorandum Fax 434-972-4126 To: Emily Cox (ecox2 e albemarle.org), Department of Community Development — Engineering Division From: Andrew Reitelbach, Senior Planner Division: Planning Date: October 6, 2021 Subject: SUB2021-00084 Old Trail Block 7C — Road Plans; 21 Submittal The County of Albemarle Planning Division will grant or recommend approval of the plat referenced above once the following comments have been addressed: [Each comment is preceded by the applicable reference, which is to the Subdivision/Zoning Ordinances unless otherwise specified.] 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. A planting strip must still be provided along Orion Lane adjacent to Lot 47. 2. Comment addressed. 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. Provide the deed book and page number of the easement. If there is not currently one, then an easement (and any related maintenance agreements) will need to be recorded prior to approval of site plan/subdivision plat. 4. Provide accessible ramps with the sidewalks. These must be provided at the street intersections. There does not appear to be a CG-12 ramp provided opposite the existing one on the corner of Orion Lane and Golf View Drive. 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. Response acknowledged. Easements (and any related maintenance agreements) must be recorded prior to approval of site plan/subdivision plat. 6. Revise the landscaping plan: a. Street trees must also be provided in the planting strips along Oldham Drive and Old Trail Drive. With site plan review now occurring along this section of Old Trail Drive, street trees will need to be provided at this time. 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. Response acknowledged. It is always preferred that street trees are located in the public right- of-way. If, however, some trees are situated in the public right-of-way, they will need to be located within an easement (with appropriate maintenance agreements) prior to approval of the site plan/subdivision plat. 7. New Advisory Comment: With 30 attached units proposed, there must be eight (8) guest parking spaces. These spaces must be provided in common areas (either designated on -street parking spaces or in common bays), not included within either private driveways or private garages. Although this comment is more for the review of the site plan, it may affect the layout of the roads and rights -of -way. Please contact Andrew Reitelbach in the Planning Division at areitelbachkalbemarle.org or 434-296- 5832 ext. 3261 for fiirther information.
