RE: Response Letter #5 for SDP2020-52 Regents School of Charlottesville
Dear Richard,
Thank you for your review of the final site plan for Regents School. This letter contains responses to
ACSA comments, provided in an email dated March 18, 2022. Our responses are as follows:
C9: Typical easement dimensions around hydrants are 20-feet wide and 10-feet behind the
hydrant.
The proposed 1.5-inch meter vault should be drawn to scale.
RESPONSE: Please see the revised 1.5-inch meter vault drawn to scale. Because we did not
receive any ACSA comments on the easement plat (SUB2021-217), the easement plat was
recorded without the typical easement dimensions around hydrant. While this linework may not
be typical, we will include within the language of the deed, following the as -built, that ensures
area sufficient for maintenance, repair, etc. of the fire hydrant is permitted to be accessed by
ACSA. Per earlier discussions, a site plan amendment is to be submitted following SDP2020-52
approval; the easement plat will need to be revised at the time of the site plan amendment, and
typical easement dimensions will be incorporated at that time.
C I L Revise 8x6 tee to 8x6 TS&V for the new hydrant.
RESPONSE: Comment received. Please see the revised note.
C23: Proposed gravity sewer main should enter the existing manhole at 90-degrees or greater
with flow. It is currently entering against flow.
RESPONSE: Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We have revised the sanitary plan to
include a new doghouse manhole in the existing sanitary line.
If you have any questions or concerns about these revisions, please feel free to contact me at
