W'P0202100024 must be approved before the road plan can be approved. Rev. 1: Comment not addressed. Rev. 2: Comment 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-1. 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. Rev. 2: Comment addressed. 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 full 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. Rev. 2: Comment addressed. 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. Rev. 2: Comment addressed. 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. Rev. 2: Comment Engineering Review Comments Page 2 of 3 14. Rev. 2: Applicant owes us $4.92 as they didn't add the 4% surcharge fee correctly on the 8-24- 21 payment. Planning (Andy Reitelbach) Rev. 1: See comment letter dated Oct 6, 2021 Rev. 2: See comments dated Dec 22, 2021. VDOT (Adam Moore) 1. See attached comment letter dated May 20, 2021. Rev. 1: See attached letter. Rev. 2: See attached letter dated 11-29-21. Fire Rcscuic knuwaru Eugauiarauio) 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 deliniate 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 41 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. Rev. 2: No objection. ACSA (Richard Nelson) 1. Rev. 1: See attached letter dated Oct 1, 2021. Rev. 2: Plan still under review with ACSA. GIS (Elise Keiwra) Engineering Review Comments Page 3 of 3 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 Rev. 2: No objection. ARB (Margaret Maliszewski) 1. No objection. The ARB determined that ARB review/approval of this portion of the development is not required. Engineering plan review staff are available from 2-4 PM on Thursdays, should you require a meeting to discuss this review.

Comment addressed. 2. Comment addressed. 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. Comment persists. This comment does not need to be completed prior to road plan approval; however, the easement and maintenance agreements must be approved and recorded prior to approval of the site plan/subdivision plat. 4. Comment addressed. 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. Comment persists. This comment does not need to be completed prior to road plan approval; however, the easement and maintenance agreements must be approved and recorded prior to approval of the 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. Street tree calculations are inclusive of street length, so one more tree needs to be placed along Old Trail Drive — at the top left corner of Lot 39 appears to make the most sense. 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 outside 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. Comment persists. This comment does not need to be completed prior to road plan approval; however, the easement and maintenance agreements must be approved and recorded 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. As parking spaces required by the zoning ordinance, these eight spaces must be specifically designated on the site plan and must be designed to meet the criteria of section 18-4.12 (as well as any VDOT criteria if they are located on public streets). Provide full striping of the spaces on the layout plan and the proper dimensions for on -street parallel parking spaces. Please contact Andrew Reitelbach in the Planning Division at areitelbachgalbemarle.org or 434-296- 5832 ext. 3261 for further information.
