Engineering has reviewed the initial site plan and offers these review comments for Final Site Plan approval.
SDP2022-00012
1. CIO: Recommend label trail features presently not labeled.
2. C11,C12,C13
a. Show Aabel steep slopes. Additional comments possible, once steep slopes overlay shown.
b. (CU3 Ensure Engineered level spreader meets design criteria for downslope Max. grade /Min.
slope length listed in VA DEQ Storrnwater Design Specification No. 2, Table 2.2. Alternatively,
replace ELS with detention that attenuates concentrated storm runoff release at this discharge
point.
c. 14 Apr 2020 ZMA Application Plan, sheet 20, Note 2 states: `If permitted under applicable
stormwater regulations, stormwater discharge may be to level spreader or similar facility to open
space. If conditions do not permit such discharge, stormwater may be conveyed to the stream or
river in an adequate channel (shown in gray) with slope stabilization as applicable, where stream
bank disturbance occurs.' Conditions likely do not permit ELS; with WPO plan, ensure proposed
drainage /SWM meet VDOT /BMP Clearinghouse Min. standards, design criteria, etc. A possible
alternative to ELS is detention pipe along site access /travel way, with gradual release of detained
flow via storm pipe down /across preserved slopes to stream, or river. Also, item 2.b. above.
d. Submit WPO Application /plan at earliest convenience. WPO plan approval is required for final
site plan approval.
e. SWM facility easement (plat /deed) recordation is required prior to WPO plan approval.
f. Provide private access easement to connect U.S. Rt. 29 with residential development.
3. C4-05-C6(andCll-C12-C13)
a. Show and label FEMA mapped floodplain.
b. Show and label GIS stream buffer overlay.
4. C12
a. Retaining walls >3-ft. ht. require a building permit and must include safety railing.
b. Retaining walls >4-ft ht. require PE -sealed geotechnical plans.
c. Proposed retaining walls along site access require VDOT GR-2 guardrail (unrecoverable slopes,
vertical drop), provide GR-2 and ensure retaining wall (PE -seal design), roadway construction,
and GR-2 installation all conform with VDOT standards for guardrail type (web/post), rail post
spacing, terminal treatment, horizontal clearance to back -slope, etc.
d. Submit retaining wall PE -sealed plans that show GR-2 to Engineering prior to /as condition of
final site plan approval.
Engineering Review Comments
Page 2 of 3
5. C8, C9, C10
a. Label sanitary pump station with wet well.
b. Provide sight distance profile south/left at U.S. Rt. 29.
c. Provide Name for site access /travelway for a-911 purposes.
d. Obtain VDOT Land Use permit for work within U.S. Rt. 29 RW.
e. Show proposed sanitary connection with Ex. RWSA /ACSA facility at U.S. 29.
f. If road bore required beneath U.S. Rt. 29 for utility purposes, provide notes, details, schematics,
graphics, Notice to Contractor etc. concerning safe utility operation within VDOT RW, or as
required by ACSA /RWSA to meet utility /Agency requirements.
g. Coordinate all aspects of site /entrance work at U.S. Rt. 29 (within RW) with VDOT. A MOT
may be required.
h. Provide posted /advisory speed limit sign/s on site access.
i. Provide `No parking' sign/s at intervals along site access.
j. Recommend `Yield' signs to establish thru movement.
k. Design site entrance culvert pipe to pass the 25-yr event.
6. C11,C12,C13
a. Show Aabel ACSA sanitary sewer /water line easements.
b. Label all retaining walls. Assign Wall identifiers (letter, #) for ease of reference. Provide
TWBW elevations.
c. (Cl 1) Provide suitable ditch runout for 6' travelway ditch at U.S. Rt. 29. Design must avoid and
limit potential erosion at U.S. Rt. 29, or other locations. Further, this point discharge must meet
state stormwater management (stormwater quantity) regulations.
d. (C12) Engineering prefers design abandon ditch to Rt. 29, and instead, more nearly approximate
design shown on sheets 20,21 of 14 Apr 2020 ZMA Application plan, which shows no
conveyance to U.S. Rt. 29 RW.
e. (C13) Revise proposed 340 LF 108" CMP underground detention system which presents liability,
with few if any positive offsets (perhaps less initial expense). Unless rock precludes multiple
smaller systems, installation of proposed 340 LF 9' DIA system will require significant SWM
facility easement width (Ref. ACDSM Easement diagram, p. 15), which requires, for a system this
size, at least 37' wide SWM easement (assume 1' bedding, 3' cover). In the future, when the
system is replaced, there will be no vehicular access to the entire lower parking area that serves
nearly half the Rivers Edge development. Also, should there be performance issues with a single
detention system, there is no backup to treat a portion of developed runoff. If the proposed single
system is bypassed, it is possible the entire volume of impervious area runoff could route across
preserved steep slopes. ZMA Application plan sheet 19 presents a system approximately half the
length proposed. Propose alternate detention that maintains partial access to lower parking lot
should future circumstance warrant excavation of parking areas to repair or replace the UG
detention system. Consider alternative SWM design that locates multiple detention practices
nearer to residences and upper tier parking (for example, 4 — 85 LF systems would provide
identical detention capacity without compromising access to this degree, and would permit at least
partial water quantity treatment should incident affect one of several systems. As it is, incident
affecting a single system may prevent or compromise storm detention, entirely. Engineering
disapproves current proposed SWM design on access /maintenance basis, as well as scale of
departure from ZMA Application plan. With WPO plan, provide bypass of any SWM facility
while mitigating impact of bypass flow to critical resources, especially preserved steep slopes.
f. Provide CG-6 or CG-7 along site access/travel way wherever storm runoff concentrates against
curb. If ZMA approval explicitly exempts site from curb -gutter requirements at Ch. 14 /18, please
direct Engineering to exemption. Otherwise, please see 18-32-7.2.2.a. / 14-412.B., provide curb
with gutter.[Note: sheets 20-22 of ZMA Application plan show inlet design along site access.]
g. Provide PE -sealed sanitary effluent pump station design, incl. pump curves, pump type, wet well
design, alarms, remote sensing, etc. as provided with documents or during presentation to PC or
BOS in 2020, or in /with ZMA documents, etc. Recommend furnish evidence of coordination or
approval with or from DEQ, relative to sanitary pump station design. Albemarle will not review

or approve pump station design. ACSA is unlikely to review or approve pump station design. It
is incumbent upon developer (per approved ZMA) to obtain approvals needed to construct the
pump station, to ensure remote sensing system is operational, and that station will be maintained.
7. C 15: Show proposed storm lines and utilities (sanitary sewer/water) in light line -type on this sheet, to
highlight potential conflicts. For example, proposed storm lines are proposed to cross at least 5 parking
islands proposed to be planted with large canopy species. Revise storm pipe locations to avoid landscape
conflicts.
8. Ensure steep slopes disturbance is consistent with sheet 23 14 Apr 2020, ZMA Application, and does not
exceed 39,100 sq. ft. approved with ZMA. Show /label Area (ft) of Preserved Steep Slope impact with
WPO and ESP.
9. Ensure stream buffer disturbance is consistent with sheet 24 14 Apr 2020, ZMA Application, and does not
exceed—23,000 sq. ft. approved with ZMA. Show Aabel Area (ftz) of stream buffer impact with WPO and
ESP.
10. C 14: Public drainage easement (downstream of SWM) should not propose storm pipe beneath /through a
retaining wall. If unavoidable, provide concrete headwall Aintel details with PE -seal, similar to Versa-Lok
Tm standard. Comment does not anticipate approval of public drainage easement with pipe penetration
beneath or through a retaining wall, a configuration to avoid.
11. C 16: Include Site Access (travelway) section with stone /pavement depths, see River's Edge Street Section,
sheet 28 of ZMA Application plan. Provide site access pavement design based on full buildout ADT.
12. Provide VDOT LD-229 (storm drain design computations) and LD-204 (stormwater inlet computations).
13. Provide complete storm profiles with labels, rim ANV elevations, slope, DIA, compaction notes, etc.
14. Provide road profile generally consistent with ZMA Application plan ZMA201800018, sheets 17, 18
(revised 14 April 2020) with smooth vertical curves, K-sag /crest values (sufficient sight distance), etc.

We recommend providing three (3) candidate names for each road to our office for
review, in case your first choices are not acceptable.
Before final plans are submitted, please add 4 road names to the plans for the new travel ways
and locations of proposed structures. The existing road names, Rivers Edge Road and Rivers
Edge Lane can be used again, however there will need to be new road names for the 2 additional
road ways that serve the new proposed structures. For example. Rivers Edge Road could be
used as the main entrance accessing Route 29. Rivers Edge Lane could be used for proposed
structures 1 - 10. A third road name will need to be created for structures it - 18 and a fourth
road name will need to be created for proposed structures 19 - 34.

1) Please clarify the heights of the buildings, especially the three story buildings to ensure they conform
to the following standard: fire aparatus access roads are rquired to provide access to within 150 ft of all
side so fthe ground level from the road and to have a minimumk travel way width of 20 ft if the height of
the building is 30 feet or less and 26 feet if the height of the building is over 30 ft.
2) Fire hydrants are required along the entrance road with a minimum spacing of 1000 ft to address
transportion emergencies on the entrance road.
3) Where there are buildings, the number of hydrants required depend on the calculated needed fire
flow. Please place a note on the plan indicating the needed fire flow, so the plan can be evaluated top
ensure the proper number of hydrants and the needed fire flow are met
4) Fire Hydrant spacing for the buildings is based on the needed fire flow calculation. Please place a note
on the plan indicating the needed fire flow so the plan can be evaluated for proper spacing (generally,
the least onerous spacing is every 500 ft with no building more than 250 ft from a hydrant - as the
needed fire flow rises, spacing decreases)
5) Please provide a note on the plan toi indicate the available fire flow from the ACSW
6) If the buildings are required to have sprinklers installed, then the FDC needs to be properly labeled on
the plan, labeled with appropriate signage and have a hydrant within 100 feet of the connection and
arranged so that the travel way is not obstrcuted when in use inn cnjunction with the hydrant.
7) During construction and demolition, the following fire prevention steps are required, so please note
them on the plan:
a) Smoking shall be prohibited in areas where smoking makes conditions such as to make smoking a
hazard and these areas shall be designated with no smoking signs per Virginia Statewide Fire Prevention
Code.
b) Areas where smoking can occur, shall have appropriate receptacles for discarded smoking
materials per Virginia Statewide Fire Prevention Code
c) Per the Virginia Statewide Fire Prevention Code, vehicular access for firefighting shall be provided
at all construction and demolition sites, provide access to within 100 ft. of temporary or permanent fire
department connections, and have no overhead wiring or other overhead obstructions lower than 13 ft.
6 inches; this access may be via permanent or temporary road, but shall be capable of supporting fire
apparatus in all weather conditions.
d) Contractor shall ensure the street numbers are always plainly visible from the frontage street
during construction per the Virginia Statewide Fire Code
e) An approved water supply for firefighting operations shall be in place and available as soon as
combustible materials arrive on site.
f) Waste and combustible debris shall be removed from the building at the end of each day and
disposed of in accordance with the Virginia Statewide Fire Code
g) Fire extinguishers shall be provided, with not less than one approved fire extinguisher at each
stairwell, on all floor levels where combustible materials have accumulated, in every storage and
construction shed and in areas of special; hazards, such as where flammable and combustible liquids are
stored or used, in accordance with the Virginia Statewide Fire Code
h) Operations involving the use of cutting and welding shall comply with the Virginia Statewide Fire
Prevention Code and shall require a permit from the Albemarle County Fire Marshal's Office

Ben, this proposed development is within the Dam Break Inundation Zone (DBIZ) for Chris
Green Lake Dam, a County owned dam. DCR does not recommend development within the
DBIZ. However, further development would not impact the hazard classification or spillway
capacity requirements for Chris Greene Lake Dam, which is already a high hazard dam and
the spillway requirements are at the maximum.

Hi Justin, here is the link to the initial site plan for SDP2022-12 River's Edge.
I've also attached files related to previous approvals, which included a zoning map
amendment to allow multi -family development, a special permit to permit development
within steep slopes and an approval for a central sewage system.

SDP2022-12 Rivers Edge— Initial Site Plan
Comments: Parks & Rec— Tim Paladino
tpadalino@albemarle.ore

1. ZMA201800018: Please provide a greenway easement (or other similar public access easement) on
the western side of the subject property, in the location(s) shown as "Public Access Pedestrian Path" on
Sheet 11 of the approved ZMA201800018 Application Plan. Please show the easement area on the site
plan (in addition to the separate submission of a plat).
2. ZMA201800018: Please clarify if the "Future Pedestrian Connection" bridge across Flat Branch shown
in ZMA201800018 will be provided (constructed) by owner/developer.
3. Please provide a detail and/or notes for the "New Paved Pathway" that is proposed to "Connect to
Future County Trail Network."
4. Advisory comment / recommendation: To help facilitate the planned future greenway along the North
Fork Rivanna River, please consider voluntarily providing an additional small greenway easement (or
other similar public access easement) on the northwestern side of the subject property, over the
riparian slopes that are located between US-29 and the existing structure to be preserved (2256 Rivers
Edge Lane). That additional easement area would provide a complete connection across the subject
property, from the "Future Pedestrian Connection" across Flat Branch to the VDOT ROW under the US-
29 bridges; and would help enable the County's future construction of the planned greenway
connections along the North Fork Rivanna River between the UVA North Fork Research Park and
downstream areas.
5. Advisory comment / recommendation: To help support the public's use of the planned future blueway
(water trail) on the North Fork Rivanna River, please consider determining the feasibility of voluntarily
dedicating any additional small greenway easement area(s) in one or more strategic locations along the
subject property's 1.0 miles of frontage on the North Fork Rivanna River. Such additional easement
areas would provide paddlers and other water trail users with formal permission to take a break from
paddling; and would accommodate temporary daytime recreational use of the riverfront (if appropriate
riverfront sites exist, without being incompatible with the planned private uses and improvements of
the subject property).

3. Update the plans to include information on accessory structures and equipment.
4. Include the standard mechanical equipment note on the architectural plans.
5. Provide a lighting plan with the next submittal.
6. Provide landscaping that helps integrate the site entrance into the EC, taking into consideration
any future signage that will be needed.
7. Identify trees that are to remain that meet the landscaping requirements for interior roads.
8. Revise the site plan to show large trees, 40' on center and 2'/2" caliper at time of planting, along
the portion of the interior travelway closest to the EC.
9. Revise the site plan to show large trees, 40' on center and 2'/2" caliper at time of planting, along
the portion of the pedestrian pathway closest to the EC.

10. Revise the landscape plan to show all trees at 2'/2" caliper at planting.
11. Revise the landscape plan to increase the variety of trees to a minimum of four species for
increased plant health.
12. Revise the existing conditions sheet to identify the existing wooded areas north and south of
Rivers Edge Lane in the vicinity of the EC. If any of this vegetation is to remain, revise the
appropriate sheets of the site plan to reflect this.
13. Show tree protection fencing on, and coordinated throughout, the grading, landscaping, and
erosion and sediment control plans.
