Subject: flolivuleadTowncenter A I (SDP-2008-00113)
The final site plan for I foilvanead fowncenter Al has been reviewed. The following comments are
provided:
1. The applicant will need an approved WPO plan before the final site plan is approved. At this
time, a WPO application has not yet been received. The applicant should prepare the WPO
plan to meet all conditions listed in ZMA proffer f47.
I An analvsis of the intersection ofConnor's Drive and Towncenter Drive needs to be submitted
with this site plan. (ZMA proffer 75)
3. A public transportation stop needs to be shown in this site plan meeting the requirements
specified in the approved rezoning plan. (ZMA proffer 43)
4. The location and grading of the greenway trail need to be shown in this site plan, with
particular attention paid to the crossing of Meeting St.
5. A sidewalk Southwest of Building A is required. The ZMA showed a sidewalk in a curbed
island that was removed with this latest submittal.
6. A modification to the parking space standard needs to be approved by Zoning to allow for the
diamond - shaped tree island.
7. The site plan needs to be scaled, signed, and dated by a licensed professional. [18- 32.6.1 ]
S. Please provide the date of the topography on the plan, [18-352.6.6]
9. Show the two benchmarks on the plan. [DM]
10. The stream buffer is not shown on the plan. The label is on the plan, but not the buffer line.
[17 -317]
11. Please specify which walls require a safety rail. [DIM]
11 Guardrail is required on top of wall adjacent to a parking or travel area. [13- 32.7.2]
13. Drainage casements are only needed on storm pipes carrying water from another parcel or
public ROW.
14. Show all SWM and access casements on this site plan.

15. All drainage easements should be sized according to the formula specified in the design
manual. For example, the drainage easement along Route 29 is well undersized. [DM]
16, No trees or structures are allowed within drainage easements. [DM]
17. All entrances must be labeled with a VDOT designation. [18-4.12.17]
18. The southeastern entrance does not have a landing that is less than 4% for the first 4011. [18-
4.12.17]
19, Please show the necessary sight distance lines on the site plan and provide any sight easements
if needed. [DM]
20, VDOT approval is required. At this time, VDOT approval has not yet been received.
21. Please label all turn and taper lanes adjacent to site entrances.
22. The County Code requires that all internal site entrances keep 100ft sight distance. There
appears to be sight distance issues behind Building A, around the bank drive-thru, and from
the entrances onto Connor's Drive near sanitary manhole K. [18-4.12.15]
21. It appears that CG-6 is provided on the plan but not labeled. [DM]
24. The durripster behind building J needs to be moved or realigned. Considering the length of
garbage track, it appears this clumpster is inaccessible as drawn. [DM]
25. Parking areas exceed 5% grade in some places. For instance, the areas are round inlet 4 and
81 are over 5%. Please check the remainder of the site for similar issues. [18- 4.12.15]
26. The sidewalk northeast of Building 0 needs to be widened to 6ft or bumper blocks need to be
placed in the parking spaces. The sidewalk is measured as 5,5ft wide. [I8- 4.1216]
27, Behind Building J. there appears to be a low spot in the pavement without a drainage
structure. Please correct so that there is no standing water on site.
28. The trash compactors behind building A will require a concrete pad. [DM]
29. Drainage cannot run across, through, or backwater in dumpster areas. It appears that this
occurs at the dumpsters northwest of building B, adjacent to inlet 63, and near inlet 42A
Please correct. [ 18-4.12.19]
30, Are the three separate parcels to remain or will the parcels be combined' If the parcels are to
remain then the following will be required: Connor*s Drive needs to be designed as a private
road with a profile: access easements shown on all sidewalks and travelway aisles: parking
will need to work for each separate parcel unless parking agreements are signed between
property owners: drainage easements should be placed on the pipes carrying water from
upstream properties VDO FROW. One property line travels through 3 different buildings. A
boundary line adjustment should be submitted or permission needs to be given from the

43. In the drainage profiles, please show end - sections or end -walls at the end of all storm sewer
systems. [DM]
44. In the drainage profiles, please show the scour protection at the pipe outlets. This scour
protection should match the computations. [DM]
4s. Please show structure 513 in the drainage profiles.
46. Please raise the elevation of the outlet pipes directing water into each bmfilter to minimize
water backing up in the storm sewer system.
47. The invert of Inlet 30 is 3inches tower than the bed elevation. See previous comment.
48. Please include in this set the profile of the eastern storm sewer along Route 24.
49. Please accurately show the topography for pipe systems passing from or through biofilters and

50. Please provide storm pipe capacity calculations. [DM]
51. Spread calculations are not shown for all necessary inlets (92, 93, all curb cuts). All spreads
should be below l Oft. [DM]
52. The curb inlet calculation table appears to be incorrect. Many of the slopes listed in the table
for gutter slope and pavement cross -slope do not match up with the grading as shown. Half of
the calculations do not include a gutter slope. Inlet 3 should be calculated as an inlet in a
sump condition, but the spreads from both the left and the right side need to be computed. A
full review of the curb inlet and spread calculations was not performed and additional
comments may be given on the resubmittal. Please refer to chapter 9 of the V DOT Drainage
Manual.
53. One hundred percent capture cannot be confirmed at the southeastern entrance because inlets
92 and 93 are not shown in the calculations. [DM]
54. Provide ditch computations for channels created in the parking lot to confirm that the spread is
below loft. [DM]
55. Inlets 7 and 22 are located on grade and not in sump conditions. Engineering review is
concerned that a considerable percentage of the design storor will bypass these inlets.
56. Provide outlet protection computations. [DM]
57. The grading and drainage area to the "curb cut at biofilter 4" does not appear to be correct.
Please clarify. [DM]
5S. Please be sure to remove all temporary ESC pipes from the site plan. T)M]
59. Please show the work to extend the VDOT pipe at the southern entrance. A profile of this
system should be provided.
60. Grading in the northern corner of the site, adjacent to the roundabout, must be minimized. All
proposed grades in the parking lots, travelways, and roads surrounding the "Phase 2" area
must tie into existing contours as quickly as possible using 3:1 contours. Also, the wall along
Meeting St. should be reduced to the maximum extent possible and will need a determination
from the Planning Department whether a variation will be needed for the new wall (in the
place of Building N in the approved 7MA).

RE:
SDP200800113 — Hollymead Town Center Area A -1
DATE:
August 1, 2008
I have reviewed the site plan referenced above and offer the following comments:
1. Parallel spaces in front of Kohl's are an important feature which must be provided.
If the applicant wishes to remove the requirement for the spaces, the Zoning
Administrator must first determine that they are features that can be varied. If
such a determination is made, Planning can process the request; however, it is
unlikely that the request would be granted since they were requested as part of
the rezoning process and were important features
2. Sidewalks across the eastern most part of the site were shown on the Rt. 29 side
of the buildings on the application plan. They are now shown on the other side of
the building. The configuration of the sidewalks could be varied, if the Zoning
Administrator agrees that this kind of variation is possible. Such a variation would
likely be approved because sidewalks are provided on the western side of the
buildings that create pedestrian connectivity across the front of the site. The
applicant should just be aware of any pedestrian needs he might have for
maintenance of the part of the building that faces Rt. 29.
3. Please consult with Bill Fritz and Zoning on whether or not the applicant can
pursue final site plan approval without including the 5,000 square foot public plaza
on the northwest corner of the site. it is Planning's preference to see this area
built sooner rather than later since it is a key feature of the development.
