SDP202100089. Stonefield block C2-1
1. CI: May require parcel data be revised, if TMP 061 WO-03-00-019A5 is an accurate tax map reference for
development parcel.
2. General
a. WPO (Amendment) approval is prerequisite to ESP approval for this development. Please submit
a WPO plan Amendment at earliest convenience (common plan of development; criteria 2C, if no
increase in rate /volume of storm runoff, from initially permitted values). Amend corresponding
WPO plan for this section of Stonefield (initially permitted as Albemarle Place).
b. Note: If development proposes an increase in volume or rate of storm runoff above those initially
permitted with Albemarle Place, then this project is subject to 2B technical design criteria (SWM).
c. List associated WPO plan/s on sheet C-L
d. Show runoff conveyance (roof leader lines, for example). Confirm no new storm system pipes or
inlets are proposed or required. Provide LD-204, stormwater inlet computations, and LD-229,
storm sewer design computations, as needed.
3. C=6: Please label TMP 061 WO-03-00-019A5, the parcel underdevelopment.
4. C-7
a. Confirm if existing parking spaces fronting wall at Northrop Grumman are to remain as active
parking spaces.
b. Label parking lot drive aisle width at its narrowest point, outside proposed building garage access.
c. Confirm if 2-way traffic along parking aisle outside the proposed parking garage, between
Northrop Grumman and first floor parking garage access, persists. If 2-way movement persists:
i. Provide auto -turn figures for sedans approaching the first floor garage access from either
direction, exterior to the garage, and with vehicles entering and exiting, simultaneously,
without conflict, with 1'-2' min. clearance (2' preferred) between vehicles.
ii. Recommend mirrors mounted at garage entry to expand field of vision for vehicles
entering or exiting first floor access. Recommend mirror at 2"d floor garage access.
iii. Clarify whether a waste management vehicle will tip dumpster located in dumpster
enclosure, since physical constraints prevent this. Multiple conflicts are apparent if
design intent is for a typical waste management vehicle to tip dumpster located within
enclosure. Please avoid service /passenger vehicle conflict/s at first floor garage entry.
d. Provide auto -turn figures for second floor parking garage access, identical with auto -turn figures
for first floor garage access. Auto -turn figures should show 2"d floor access width sufficient for 2
sedans arriving (enteringlexiting) simultaneously, with sufficient clearance to avoid conflict.
Engineering Review Comments
Page 2 of 2
(Sedans have been discontinued by at least one major North American automaker, with SUVs,
vans, and trucks now the dominant share of vehicles sold in the U.S.) At a minimum, ensure 1'
clearance (via Autotum figures) for typical passenger sedans at 1 n/2"d floor garage points of entry.
e. Three parking spaces are shown beneath the garage 2°d floor access. Confirm that no (new)
vertical /horizontal members (beams/girders) will obstruct or impede use of (or displace portion
of) these 3 Ex. parking spaces. Ramp may cantilever above spaces, in which case, conflict may be
avoided.
f Ensure proposed exterior access door meets ADA requirements for landing, clearance, etc. Please
ensure outward opening will not strike a passing pedestrian. Design should provide measure of
assurance that a pedestrian passing immediately outside the door is not vulnerable to door strike.
g. Label sidewalk width (adjacent to Bond Street), narrowest dimension.
h. Provide a stop bar for vehicles exiting the first -floor garage access.
i. Recommend elevated (4"-6") concrete landing (or similar measure) at first floor garage access as
calming measure to limit vehicle speed for vehicles that may bypass garage access to use parking
southeast of 286' parking lot aisle (distance to District Ave). Physical constraints, active parking,
limited sight lines at garage exit, parking areas beyond garage entrance present potential conflicts
and a hazard at first floor garage access. Vehicle -pedestrian proximity, inattention, etc. appear to
have contributed to a pedestrian fatality at Stonefreld, at a crosswalk at District and Bond, in 2016.
Please feel free to call if any questions: 434.296-5832 -x3069 ( landerson2(a),albemarle.or ).
