RE: SUB-2021-00011 -Southwood Phase I Blocks 9, 10, & 11— Road & Drainage Plan Review -
Comment Response Letter
Dear Mr. Wentland:
We have reviewed your (Rev. 2) comments from December 6`h, 2021 and made the necessary
revisions. Please find our responses to the comments below in bold lettering.
Engineering:
1. Show sight distance triangles and profiles for the internal travelways.
Given that these travelways are private alleys not major roads with low speeds (under
20 mph) and low traffic volumes it does not appear VDOT or AASHTO sight distances
would apply. Stops signs have been provided at the internal intersections to control
movements.
Rev. 1 : Comment not addressed. Provide sight distance triangles and profiles for
travelway intersections. These can be reduced with a waiver where all vehicles are
required to stop. (Design Standards Manual 7.C.1, 18.4.12.15d, 18.4.12.17d).
Sight distance triangles and profiles have been provided for travelway interactions.
Comment Addressed.
2. The underground storage facility A will need to be removed from beneath the parking
and travelway in front of Lots 71 and 72 and relocated outside of any travelways or
where its repair/replacement will affect a travelway. Engineering recommends it be
moved to behind lots like SWM B.
SWM facility A has been relocated.
Rev. 1 : Comment partially addressed. Refer to WP0202100004 comments.
The storage facility has been relocated and redesigned accordingly. The new location
is located outside of the travelway and would not impede access to the buildings in
the event of major maintenance. Further the system is outside of the ACSA easement
as well so as not to impede their maintenance. This location is the best available
ENGINEERING I DESIGN I TECHNOLOGY
location to provide for vehicular access for typical maintenance without impact or
limitation to the site should major maintenance ever be required.
Comment Addressed.
Planning —Megan Nedostup:
1. [32.5.2 (b); 32.5.2 (q)] The trip generation should be cumulative, revise to include prior
blocks to be provided for traffic. This will allow quick confirmation that the total trip
generation does not exceed 5,000 per the Code of Development.
The total trip generation has been provided on Sheet C0.0 and demonstrates that the
average daily trips, for the two phases together, will not exceed 5,000.
Rev. 1): Comment partially addressed. All reference to Phase 2 should be removed. In
addition, the other site plans should be included in the chart.
The trip generation table has been removed per discussions for the final site plan submittal
(see final site plan comment response letter).
